He was threatened by Jimmy. Being a lawyer was "his thing" and then his younger brother becomes undeniably better at it in a fraction of the time without even trying.

Imagine you start karate lessons as a kid and you get to like purple belt and start thinking you're hot shit. Then your little brother tells your mom he wants to join too and it turns out he's a natural. He's only been in your class for 2 weeks but he beats the fuck out of you every day in sparring and completely owns you in front of your sensei. You started years earlier, but you guys get your black belts at the same time.

You'd crash the fuck out too.

You'd crash out too.

Chuck resented that their mom loved Jimmy more (she asked for Jimmy, not Chuck on her deathbed). Hell, everyone seemed to like Jimmy more than Chuck,. This drove him crazy, because to him, Jimmy was a smooth-talking dirt bag loser, while Chuck though of himself as a hardworking moral attorney, and a pillar of the community. He also hated that Jimmy could easily weasel into his professional domain that he built over many years (which was his whole life and the core of his self-image) with guile, sleight of hand, and charm. He was basically Aesop's Ant watching the grasshopper be rewarded instead of punished and it drove him mad.

chuck would've swallowed his pride and jealousy if Jimmy acted like a legitimate lawyer. He had 0 schizo flareups while he was working with Jimmy on sandpiper, and the case did legitimately have to go to a larger firm to not just stall out later. What began as brother bonding time hit the reality of a huge case. He wasn't even wrong to spike the idea of Jimmy getting hired at HHM given his past. If he had just been upfront about it nothing would've happened the way it did. Chuck's character flaws are greatly exaggerated. He has theme but they aren't his entire being. His biggest mistake was one act of cowardice that was just meant to preserve his relationship with Jimmy.

We hardly even see chuck practicing law , but know he is revered as a legendary Layer by everyone so i don't know how you come to the conclusion that Jimma was a better Lawyer.

Chuck resented Jimmy for living live on easy mode. More liked by their father , always charming everybody (remember the dinner with Chucks ex-wive where Jimmy effortlessly charmed her?) , weaseling his way through live with little resistance.

When Chuck said that Jimmy makes a mockery of Law he really meant it. Chuck worked hard and Jimmy makes it look like a game like everything else.

It's extremely hard and stressful. You bust your ass 100 hours a week until you make Partner, and then you can make others do all the ass-busting.

When I was in university considering law school, a lawyer relative basically explained that it's 20 years of absolute misery, and then it's easy street. And that's if you get in with a "good" firm and don't get stuck in the PD office or something.

She didn't like Jimmy more she just wanted to talk to him cause he was a former con man working a minimum wage job while Chuck was a married and successful lawyer. This happens frequently in reality when parents are forced to give more attention to children than others, not out of love but necessity.

Chuck fucking hated his brother for having such a high level of charisma and being preferred by people, including their parents, despite Jimmy being a sleazy snake and Chuck being a perfect role model. He knew Jimmy was charismatic and actually intelligent so he could excel as a lawyer and that made him mad since being a lawyer was Chuck’s thing. None of these was implicit since chuck pretty much tells his entire motivations in that chicanery episode so I don’t know how anyone could have missed it.

Chuck was not right to originally reject Jimmy after he passed the bar exam, assuming he'd been on good behavior. But as a lawyer, we see Jimmy range from underhanded to straight up just illegal tactics (fabricating evidence for the pie sitting guy), proving Chuck right in the end. Arguably he wouldn't have had to resort to that if he'd been taken into HHM instead of being left to fend for himself, plus Chuck could keep an eye on him, but the Davis & Main job proven Jimmy never would've been satisfied with a traditional, big law job. Chuck was right, people don't change. Jimmy was always gonna take shortcuts, even if he wasn't allowed to, and Chuck was right not to let him possibly ruin HHM's (and his own, as Jimmy's brother) reputation because he thought he could get away with it.

The point is that rather than appealing to the letter of the law to make the most thoroughly generous possible case for his clients, Jimmy made a spectacle of the process itself to find ways around doing that. Chuck believed the law was sacred, Jimmy thought it was a hindrance to winning. I'm not defending Chuck and attacking Jimmy, I'm saying that they're really well written characters and Chuck's attitude toward Jimmy makes perfect sense. It's consistent with his beliefs.

Yes they did, speedwatcher. He literally explains it, Jimmy is an unethical person who would abuse the fact that lawyers are placed in a position of extreme trust by their clients. A lawyer can enter into contracts on their client's behalf and the client will be legally bound by them. A lawyer has access to a client's money and can easily steal it. Lawyers are fiduciaries, meaning they are required to place their client's interests above their own. But he knew Jimmy would be unable to do that, and would harm his clients for his own benefit, or would use his law license to further criminal enterprises. That was what he meant when he said Jimmy having a law license was like a monkey with a machine gun. He was later proven right over and over btw in BCS and BB.

Where he actually was in the wrong though was by refusing to tell this to Jimmy himself, and instead hiding behind his partner so he could maintain his brotherly relationship. That was dishonest and dishonorable.

We see this isn't true when Kim gets him the law firm job, and he is given an opportunity to just work hard make a lot of money and be a normal lawyer. But he can't do that because it's le boring or something, so he intentionally destroys his opportunity. Also the whole thing of him trying to get fired without cause was a bit contrived because IRL the stunt he pulled with airing the commercial without authorization would 100% get any lawyer fired on the spot for cause. A lawyer is a client's agent, so they can enter into contracts on the client's behalf, even if the client didn't give them permission to do so. That contract is then still enforceable, so the client is on the hook for it, and will then have to perform on the contract then turn around and sue their lawyer to recover any damages from the contract they didn't want. It's called exceeding authorization, which is exactly what he did when he aired the commercial. So if Jimmy then ever did that to a client the firm could also be sued for negligence for not having fired him on the spot.

Because people liked Jimmy. He was charismatic and funny and charming, which was enough to get him through life. Chuck was none of those things So he has to play life by the rules. So he becomes big shot lawyer but he still can't make his own wife laugh. He's still boring. Yet she's enamored with Jimmy because despite being a fuck up, he's just more likeable. That's what gets to chuck. He never broke the rules and was always a good little boy, but Jimmy was still their mothers favourite despite all that.

The whole relationship dynamic there was oddly niche but it was well written and portrayed but it feels like it belongs in a different show. It really did feel like Gould just took one of his other scripts and slapped the BrBa shit on top of it

Jimmy, the main character, got in legal trouble when he wanted to play a prank/get back at someone he hated by shitting through a hole in the sunroof of their car. He was not aware this guy's kids were in the car and were then shat on. His brother who was a high powered lawyer helped him out and got him off with a light sentence, then gave him a job working as the mailroom boy at his law firm. Jimmy was also a shitty person who stole from their kindhearted parents which contributed to bankrupting his father's store.

The strongest indicator of whether someone will commit crimes in the future is whether they've committed crimes in the past. That's why in criminal trials you're generally not allowed to talk about a defendant's prior convictions, since the jury will just convict thinking well if he committed crimes before he probably did this. Instead of the government having to prove he actually did do it. But the fact still remains that for most people once a con always a con.

Jimmy was a cheating dirtbag who cruised through life because he was born with a silver tongue. He was partially responsible for tanking his father's shop by stealing from him and leading him to his death but his mother never accused him of shit. He lived in the street doing scams with some dumb fat guy and eventually got put in jail because of shitting through some guy's car but Chuck was there to save him because his mother still saw Jimmy as a good kid. Chuck worked his ass off to where he was by ACTUALLY studying law at prestigious universities yet Jimmy got a degree in a few months from some diploma mill and now Chuck's wife likes Jimmy more because he's more charismatic and Howard is A-OK with letting Jimmy work there despite having zero experience. Obviously Chuck is pissed because he knows Jimmy will take the easy way out, he'll always play trials dirty and to his benefit and never follow the law nor his own firm, yet for some reason Jimmy thinks he's on Chuck's level. Even then, Chuck supports Jimmy as a good brother and gives him a speech about doing good and guides him, he just doesn't want Jimmy in his firm

And Chuck is 100% right about Jimmy btw. The second he gets tired of actually working his way up in the legal system he resorts to scamming which gets him involved with criminals. When Jimmy ends up at Davis and Main he not only breaks office code ON HIS FIRST DAY by touching the AC but then proceeds to throw a tantrum and damage the company over not being allowed an advert. And of course he then basically ruins Chuck's career over not being allowed into his brother's firm like a petulent child and starts his fall into Saul.

People defend Jimmy but while he isn't a purely evil man, he's certainly a scumbag and worse than Walter White. Chuck was completely right and ended up being an early hero, basically the BCS mirror to Hank

>jimmy became a honest to god lawyer by studying
He got a shitty degree from some internet diploma mill. His only real achievement is somehow passing the bar which who knows how he managed that. It certainly is nowhere close to what Chuck did to get to his position
>He worked diligently as a solo practitioner for years
That's called "being a lawyer". You think Chuck didn't spend decades with shit cases and barely being paid before he got with Howard and his father and built up his company based on the good rep and amazing skills they had? Spending some years in bad conditions is no justification for slippin' out
>To claim Chuck was in any way in the right for the way he treated Jimmy is a mental illness in of in itself
Chuck's only fucking fault was not telling Jimmy directly because he didn't want to hurt his feelings. That's it. He's completely justified to not want to hire him at HHM with how little experience and the bad rep he has, a lot of other firms would do the same. He would have supported Jimmy keeping at it or even taking on another venture like marketing or cinematography. Jimmy was the brat who thought he deserved to be at HHM because of his slippin' skills which go against the point of law and order

I agree, he wasn't forced to do so. But Chuck's behaviour with Sandpiper and mesa verde was unacceptable. He was so hellbent on getting his brother in trouble, he basically entraped him with the tape. Chuck is in the wrong, that doesn't mean jimmy is a saint

Jimmy isn't good at actual law, he's good at skirting the law with tactics which are barely legal. It isn't about being fair and honest and pursuing the truth, it's about winning cases
>Howard basically stole his client
Tough luck, that's the nature of being a lawyer. Again, doubt Chuck and Howard's father and even Howard himself didn't deal with that kind of shit. They never broke the law, they never broke bad trying to cheese their way out of putting in effort
>Chuck's behaviour with Sandpiper and mesa verde was unacceptable
Sandpiper was about how Chuck and Jimmy weren't able to do shit alone, so they got HHM involved. Jimmy then assumed that because he did some work for the lawsuit, he would then get hired into HHM which is a ridiculous assumption again all based on Jimmy basically thinking he had priviledges due to being Chuck's brother. He gets an amazing deal which would give him a ton of money to start actually making his own career but refuses out of hurt pride.
Mesa Verde is even worse. Jimmy CHEATED with that, he did switch the numbers and screwed Chuck over purely out of spite and bias for Kim. Chuck was completely right with what he did with the tape

The Venn diagram of Jimmy bootlickers and Mike bootlickers is probably the same ngl. Both are characters which refused taking the straight path and being good, honest men following their family's legacy out of their impulses and evil nature. Yet both are treated as if they were victims of le evil Walt when in reality they got what they deserved

Hahaha no

Mike still deluded himself that he was honoring his son's legacy and giving money to Kaylee which she needed when in reality he was just murdering people out of bloodlust and self loathing. He may say once or twice he's too far down but really he doesn't even realize it. His final confrontation with Walt is hilarious, trying to delude himself that everything would have been fine had Gus lived when Gus was planning to murder Walt and Jesse and it wasn't even Walt's fault, he fought back in self defense

The final scene with Nacho's dad is meant to show how fucking awful Mike is. He still thinks he's some wild west cowboy dealing justice when he's a bloodthirsty monster. Nacho's papa is basically the good version of Mike, a dad who sees his son's sacrifice for the greater good, mourns him for the rest of his life and moves on to try and pick up the pieces like an honest man. That's why he's shown as free whereas Mike is shown behind bars in that scene, he's in a prison of his own making

Despite seemingly being aware of what he does Mike often gets basically BTFO when faced with how much of a piece of shit he really is in BCS, like when they bury Howard or with Nacho's dad. That's when his delusions get broken. But with Jimmy this only happens right at the end. Despite not being a literal killer like Mike he's less humane in a way cause he can fully supress his conscience.

Chuck represents the eternal boomer; stuck in the past, attached to a very specific idea of what the American way of life should look like. He doesn't respect lawyers and lawyers because of their accreditation, but because of their mannerisms, morals, and class. Jimmy was a criminal and a sleazeball, but he was a lawyer all the same, and to chuck this was an abomination of what lawyers were as an idea that existed in his head.

It's like a film student having to accept that MCU films count as movies, despite being mass produced garbage created by a committee.

I'm not saying he isn't an asshole, but like he tells the guy who sells pills to Nacho, once you cross the line you're a criminal, and all you can really do after that is to try and be an honest crook.
It is interesting though, I finally finished the show a few weeks ago, and I didn't realize how much Nacho was an inciting incident for mike and jimmy.

That IS one of Jimmy's skills, true. Saul Gone has the obvious implication that he regrets what happened with Chuck but he's able to basically suppress it to the point where it's only the guilt of that, Howard AND Kim returning in person that finally makes him squeal and admit his crimes in the court

That makes him scummier than Walt. Walt suppressed his conscience for a while yes but the second he properly saw Jesse get captured (even if it was as an enemy) and Hank die he completely broke down and after a period of respite was back to have his revenge. Jimmy takes so much longer to fucking break it's insane

If he did, he'd actually pick a real honest job (maybe security consultant, that Madrigal episode shows him being extremely competent at that) instead of being a fucking crime lord.

The fact is, Drug Cartels are based. That's why Vince made not one but two shows which are almost entirely sidetracked by Drug Cartel Drama. Nothing is better than making drugs, getting everyone hooked on drugs, overdosing on drugs and killing other people who also make drugs, then killing the police because they're interfering with your drugs, and drugs are the best thing ever.

Chuck held Jimmy solely responsible for their father's store failing too.
We were shown why. Jimmy's dad was nice to all of the bums and thieves who would rip him off.
I'm not arguing that Jimmy didn't swipe money from the till. We saw him do it.
But there is no chance that Jimmy stole a tenth the money that Chuck claims he did.

Mike can admit to himself (and others) that he regrets going down that path. At least in BCS. Walt dies still proud of being the meth king, and the last conversation he has with his son is to offer him money, while crying that it isn't "enough". Even at the end he still thought he could buy redemption.

The real redpill that anyone who knows anything about the practice of law could tell you is that even if Jimmy had been allowed in to HHM he never would have tolerated being permanently treated as a third class lawyer there because his degree was from a nowhere school. Corporations wouldn't want Jimmy with his degree from the university of American Samoa handling their representation, he'd be a permanent assistant counsel at best at HHM.

> "You're not a real lawyer! "University of American Samoa", for Christ's sake? An online course? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get where I am! And you take these shortcuts and you think suddenly you're my peer? You do what I do because you're funny and you can make people laugh? I committed my *life* to this! You don't slide into it like a cheap pair of slippers and then reap all the rewards!"

Simple as.

A lawyer is meant to win cases, since he wins cases, he's a lawyer

>Chuck genuinely thinks his 12 year old brother embezzled $14,000 in 1960s USD singlehandedly
>Chuck is completely immoral and capable of sinking even lower than Jimmy in deception, as long as he remains within the letter of the law

Jimmy is trying to make money by scamming and lying while Chuck is trying to do his job in a honest way

The flashback when he had Jimmy over for dinner explained it all. He was always envious of Jimmy’s natural charisma. He could live with it as long as he knew Jimmy was stuck in a dead end job but when he became a lawyer it encroached on his safe space where he was the top dog.

Jimmy got his degree and passed the bar fair and square. He just did it in a way that was feasible for something working a shitty minimum wage job which of course all the big name college lawyers scoff at because it’s all a massive circlejerk.

Everyone around them liked Jimmy more, including their parents. Chuck in all his narcissistic wisdom decided this is Jimmy's fault.

His divorce literally drove him insane and he resented Jimmy for making his ex-wife laugh when he couldn't. He seemed supportive when Jimmy defecated through a sunroof and only used it against him later when it was convenient for him to do so.

Half of the retarded question threads on 4chan are made by AI companies desperately trying to obtain training data.

It wasnt a ridiculous assumption, Howard was going to hire Jimmy and Chuck made it a explicit point to not let Jimmy in
