2025.01.30 08:20 Sillybelphiah *Spoilers* A better ending would be…
So, we all love those crappy movies with the guy from Zombieland. Bill Murray. The Scrooge, Groundhog Day - he’s a repugnant, disrespectful, evil ass, that suffers something, and at the last moment gains some kind of redemption. We see it even in games like red dead redemption, with John Marston and Arthur Morgan. These hard headed evil people that “grow out of it” and gain morality at their last moment - to the point it’s cliche and boring.
I loved Jimmy. But he’s Saul. After all he’s been through, he’s Saul now.
Whether you agree artistically or not, having been in and out of institutions and gangs and with an upbringing of violence, there are totally morally reprehensible evil people who don’t learn their lesson. Someone set fire to a house because they thought I was in it because of an up and coming court case, despite pleading with me they were a changed person. I’m over the redemption arc, and it’s opposite what Tony Soprano and Clockwork Orange have showed us.
It would have been wise for Saul to fight tooth and nail to get himself out of the situation, cause it would have been way cooler and a way better moral lesson to impart on the audience. There are people far gone. There are people who will betray, destroy, manipulate, and they’ll feel no remorse. That’s the actual way of the world, and if you disagree you’ve just not been around them. In the criminal underworld there are plenty.
And the story has been done before, even in the same universe. The hero has a last second moment of clarity, dignity, morality, and a sudden reverence for the harm they’ve done - eureka! Walter’s figured it out!
I would have loved this ending more than anything else.
Saul wins the seven years, forgets Kim Wexler and brushes off her moral midgetry, he can never be a lawyer but he offers a business of maneuvering the law and offering advice (not a legal practice, but who knows, he’d find a way around) and never learn his lesson.
It’s so Marvel and kind of lame to repeat the story twice with two different characters, and not only is it lame, it’s unrealistic to how the underworld works. Murderers will, and then they’ll lie, and then they’ll laugh getting away. You expect guilt, shame, or something will take toll - even a higher power - but in the real world it doesn’t.
I don’t know, I just finished Better Caul Saul and I was extremely disappointed. The entire episode was leading up to me screaming - YES THATS WHAT THEY DO, and then in the last moment they pull the rug from beneath you and he’s a good guy taking his sentence. Who sponsored this show? The prison industrial complex?
Walter is bad boy > Feels bad > does “right thing”. Saul is bad boy > Feels bad > does “right thing”.
It’s just lazy and unrealistic. One should have got away for their transformation. Jimmy becomes Saul. Become Saul all the way. We don’t learn lessons, we run laps around punks.
It’s bad for people to think all criminals are redeemable or capable of change, it’s toxic even, even in relationships. Someone’s abusive or toxic you see the glimmer of light you should still run away. Crooks and criminals don’t care. You’ll sooner die than get a redeeming moment from them. That’s all I wanted from either Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. Sopranos, Wire, Clockwork Orange all showcased it. Evil people are evil people. Let one get away with it so people are aware.
The bad guys can and often do win, and there’s no redeeming qualities. Had Saul walked free and got his ice cream I’d be applauding. They threw away a perfect ending.

2025.01.30 08:20 DankAssPotatos Planning on adding a New Vegas tattoo as the next piece of my sleeve. Any ideas?
I thought a nightstalker would be sick in this area, climbing my arm or looking back. I'm just concerned about the coloring, since they're kind of monotone. This arm is all color, so I'd like to stick with that for this one. Any ideas for something else I could do?

 | In north texas, second one I've seen in 2 weeks and both times i saw them they were crawling up the wall. Smaller than a penny but big enough to notice. Sorry if it was chill or something, it was in my room and it carried itself like a wasp so i had to go into epic battle with it (screaming and swinging my shoes), where only I emerged victorious. submitted by YngSpcRck to whatisthisbug [link] [comments] |

2025.01.30 08:20 Practical_Role_9027 Carpal hyper extension?
Hey, sorry I’m a bit new to Reddit but I need some advice for my dog
This is my almost 4 year old, (half) Labrador. I think he shows signs of carpal hypertension. I hope someone can help me identify it so I can urge my parents to take him to the vet (rather sooner than later). He doesn’t show direct signs of pain other than occasionally excessive licking, he is still active and playful. But i hope to be able help him before it becomes to bad.

2025.01.30 08:20 tdciago The Death of Orpheus
Given that the visual most associated with Severance is Mark's head, I thought it would be interesting to look at depictions of the death of Orpheus. Will the show defy the ending of the myth?
https://imgur.com/a/93M7x4i
"According to a Late Antique summary of Aeschylus's lost play Bassarids, Orpheus, towards the end of his life, disdained the worship of all gods except Apollo. One early morning he went to the oracle of Dionysus at Mount Pangaion to salute his god at dawn, but was ripped to shreds by Thracian Maenads for not honoring his previous patron (Dionysus)...
His head, still singing mournful songs, floated along with his lyre down the River Hebrus into the sea, after which the winds and waves carried them to the island of Lesbos, at the city of Methymna; there, the inhabitants buried his head and a shrine was built in his honour near Antissa."
