AYRT

I would argue that Gus had some value as at least a very astute businessperson who held a complex organization together. He provided value (income, product, hell, even chicken) to many people and did it in a (relatively) safe and cohesive manner. Walt is just a steamroller out to benefit himself. At this point, one can't even argue he's trying to benefit his family.

That doesn't make him much different from a lot of mobsters and mafia figures who keep up public appearances.

AYRT

No, it just makes him a more respectable character than Walt.

[(Anonymous)]

He's also a more horrible person.

[(Anonymous)]

Because he worked on a grander scale?

[(Anonymous)]

Walt, even now, still has some degree of moral conflict over what he does. Gus never did. If Gus was in Walt's position Jesse and Hank would have been dead a long time ago.

[(Anonymous)]

Gus was cold, that's for sure. I think that made me see him as just ruthlessly efficient, which I can appreciate. I'm not sure I agree Jesse would be dead by now if Gus was in Walt's position because I think Gus would have managed the entire process better, but you're definitely right that Hank would be long gone.

Gus really does care about all the people who work under him, but he has to be ruthless in order to protect the entire family-- if it's one individual versus the entire family, he will sacrifice the one. He just doesn't lie to himself or others about the depths of his feelings the way Walt does.

Giancarlo Esposito on the Victor scene: "I found how I could not scar myself [while acting out this scene] was by understanding completely that Gus was doing something to protect the family. These chemists that he’s cultivated, the people that work for him, bodyguards, and everyone else, the people in the laundry, the people in the chicken place — he cares about them. So in order to protect them, he has to do this thing, because this person has been exposed, and he’s gotta take care of business to protect the family. http://www.vulture.com/2011/07/breaking_bads_giancarlo_esposi.html "
