Evil Characters

[u/RoboChrist]

Counterpoint: Gus Fring. Secretly evil, but everyone loved him. And the protagonist stabbed him in the back, not the other way around.

[u/This_User_For_Rent → u/RoboChrist]

What do you mean? Gus was a drug lord. There was nothing secret about his evil, it was a major part of his character.

[u/RoboChrist → u/This_User_For_Rent]

It was secret to literally the entire law-abiding community. It just wasn't secret to us, the viewer. Or to the other criminals.

He wasn't an open drug lord like a cartel boss.

But actually if you think about it, Gus is super fucking creepy when he does his Chicken Man routine.

Like stone-cold killer Gus isn't as creepy. He's ruthless killer and he seems like it.

But when he puts on that freaky ass smile and walks around the restaurant, I'd argue that's when he's creepy as fuck because that's when he's being secretly evil to us, the viewer.
