The Cousins. They were like a damn force of nature. Tuco was an insane loudmouth.
Hank iced Tuco easy. The Cousins put Hank in a wheelchair.

The real question is: who is the BETTER villain: Gus or Walt?

Without a doubt. Walter may be a brilliant cook, but he's been a terrible boss. Mike was 100% right about Walt, he's a ticking time bomb

Tuco scared the crap out of me.

I really liked his character.
He reminded of drug addicts that I've met before.

Gus > Walt

Gus could've easily merked Walt plenty of times, but deliberately chose not to, aside from the end of Season 3.

Tuco was great because he was so unpredictable.

I liked the cousins. I didn't like the way they had Hank survive that encounter.

And that's what makes Walt>Gus. Walt saw the threat in Gus. Gus was weak and let Walt stay around.

I don't care if he is the only guy that can make the blue stuff, if you kill him then your product is the best on the street.

To me, that makes Walt smarter than Gus. Not necessarily a badder villain.

In ways they are polar opposites, yet still on the same world.

I think if you combined all of them you'd end up with Tio back in his day.

Only says enough and totally ruthless, obnoxious and remorseless.

Out of those two I'd say the cousins.

Going by what they did to Hank, Tuco only scarred him Mentally. The cousins Broke him. Walt never knew they were there..and they had better boots.

The cousins definitely had a creepy vibe to them, but I really didn't like how they unrealistically didn't feel pain. The scene in the hospital where the surviving cousin crawls on his bloody stumps toward the door was shocking, but now that I think back about it, it seems goofy.

But, I'm also in the minority that didn't like Gus' death scene. It reminded me of how they portrayed two-face in The Dark Knight. They were both a leap from the gritty realism that defined the rest of the show/movie.

I can't get the image of one of the cousins dragging that heavy arse metal axe across the parking lot in broad daylight. That was creepy.

Him crawling on the hospital floor was a throwback to how we first saw them willingly crawling. Im sure he felt pain, but.."La familia es todo".

Gus was two faced. Walt is. Walt just exposed him for what he was. Im accepting of that and Gus>>>>Dark Knight's Harvey Dent.
