Greetings! Inspired by posters Cleavertime and Telekinectic Sasquath, I threw this Breaking Bad prompt out into THE FEED and foLLks did not disappoint. But first, if you haven’t seen Breaking Bad yet, you may want to skip this one just in case of spoilers, I suppose. But, it’s a great show if you like gritty crime dramas about difficult men, or if you liked any of the GOAT’d X-Files episodes that BB creator Vince Gilligan wrote. Gilligan’s follow-up shows “Better Call Saul” and “P1uribus” are also
bangers.
Anyways, onto y’all responses which I will be grading with my patented and very scientific Mariners Hot Take Ranking System:
Here we go!
Poster Corco has many picks:
I agree with most of these picks except I do not get Jesse energy from Emerson Hancock. Emerson seems way too gentle-hearted and responsible to get into the various predictaments that Jesse finds himself in/creates for himself. The Jarred Kelenic mention is spot on, though. Giving these takes an IWAKUMA for general accuracy and effectiveness!
Poster Suburban Shocker says:
Well, that is certainly accurate, especially this season so far. Muñoz holds baserunners like Saul Goodman makes first impressions….a bit slippery and slimy perhaps. Grading this take a BOSIO for truthfulness.
Poster Chicago Mariner says:
Naylor as Mike is quite good, although as we have come to learn, Josh is only grumpy on the field to his opponents because he simply Has That Dog In Him. Which, if we’re comparing him to Mike, Mike is business-only, as well. Julio as Jesse is pretty delightful just because of Jesse’s various good time party boy eccentricities that I can see fitting in with Julio’s happy-go-lucky and upbeat personality. Walter as Logan Gilbert AKA “Walter” works for me, too, since just like Walter White couldn’t let some things go, Logan seems to be unable to let go of (or fix) his four-seamer in spite of its ineffectiveness this season. Rating these takes as BRASH.
What did we miss, Breaking Bad fans who happen to also root for the Mariners? Let us know in the comments!
