Mike knew he was in a prequel and was going to make it no matter what.

>>219812321
Trevor here thankfully tried to shoot him with the gun and not the bullets. 1 inch away from Mike's face. I call it the YouTube/Facebook -self defense technique.
Have fun disarming someone when they aren't trying to tickle your nose with their gun.
Mike's technique is still not foolproof by the way but Mike had plot armor

>>219812321
Well yes it was quite silly from Mike.
>but he knew he didn't need a gun, he did his research and knew Nacho needed this deal to be low profile!
First of all, making the assumption all will go well and without the need for protection because you have the vague idea the other side wants it to go that way and betting your life on it is fucking retarded. It is especially retarded if you consider that having a conceal carry weapon on you, when you also have a CCW license and can do it legally, has literally zero opportunity cost to it, there is no reason not to carry just in case.

But even if we go with this idiotic idea that a weapon wan't needed - only Mike knows this, neither of the bodyguards or the employer know it. From their perspective, Mike is being an idiot. Mike can't reveal his knowledge right away, either, given revealing protection isn't needed invalidates the need for him to be here. Him not having a weapon suggests he's either retarded, or not necessary. If anything, he should have a weapon on him precisely to give the employer the idea he is needed, until the deal is over and he can reveal he actually wasn't.

All in all it was a very retarded way to show Mike as "competent", but to anyone with triple digit IQ, he looks like anything but.

>>219812321
Why didn't Trevor just activate his special ability and turn Mike into chunky salsa with the desert eagle he was carrying?

>>219812747
Because he was reckless.

>If anything, he should have a weapon on him precisely to give the employer the idea he is needed, until the deal is over and he can reveal he actually wasn't.
Yeah but then we woudln't have this funny scene. It doesn't make logical sense but they want you, the viewer, to believe Mike is a badass who doesn't need guns and can do epic hand-to-hand combat.

These were cheesy shows at a lot of times and Mike was the cheesiest character by far

It's similar to another scene where 4 young guys on the street politely ask Mike how much money he has before they try to rob him. He does some weird grandpa kung-fu and defeats one guy and as everyone knows, young idiots who rob people, love it when one of their guys gets beaten up, so they just leave after that happened instead of beating the fuck out of him. They also don't try to sucker punch him even though he keeps turning his back to them multiple times.

mike foresaw his dealings with this pudgy retarded freak and was hoping to change the future by letting him die in a deal gone wrong

>>219812884
The shot where Mike has a hood rat on the ground while twisting his arm was really funny. They tried really hard to make Mike the geezer seem threatening in BCS.

>>219812921
That's the scene I'm talking about. We all know that people like that love it when one of their guys gets their shoulder dislocated. It's not like they would all rush towards Mike and beat the fuck out of him.

>>219812845
yeah mike as a character always struck me as a weird tryhard power fantasy.
maybe it would work if he wasn't obviously decrepit

>>219813030
The "tell don't show' method in breaking bad was actually better than showing how much of a badass Mike is in BCS. Same thing with Gus.

>>219812321
Why is there a cartoon character on the left?

>>219813010
> We all know that people like that love it when one of their guys gets their shoulder dislocated
This but unironically. They would be hooting and hollering like
>“ayo son daaaaaamn he just go NAruto on yo ass like that the old nigga a ninja deadass”

>>219813385
I know. We've all seen gifs and webms showing what happens when somebody attacks a hoodrat and all his friends watch when he starts losing. They aren't ganging up on one guy. Ever. This never happens. It's one of the most realistic scenes in Better Call Saul.

>>219813433
That’s a gang thing and when niggers are evenly matched. If it’s some senior citizen they would be amused. They are simple folk.

>>219813654
They somehow forgot to rob him, because it said so in the script

>the stupid cartoonish show is... stupid and cartoonish!
>i MUST discuss this at length because I can't simply enjoy things that aren't 100% le grimdark and serious!!!
Do anons ever get tired of not being fun at parties?

>better call saul is perfect and is not allowed to be criticized
>I'll shit my pants if you make fun of it!!!
>all of this happening at a "party"
Weird parties that you go to. Have "fun", autist

>>219813861
>things no one said
Is arguing with yourself really the best use of your time?

You clearly weren't around for /bcs/

I'm pretty sure that possession of a gun while committing a felony is still a crime even if the gun is otherwise legally carried

This episode was pretty cringe. The show sucked Mike's dick way too hard. This scene in particular and his little
>you can be on one side of the law or the other
Spiel were really lame. BCS's handling of the BB characters is why the show is the weaker of the two. When it was just focused on Saul and the new characters, it was excellent.
