What does mexico have to do with anything walt never goes to mexico in the entire series. Yes there are people in jail for worse things that doesnt make the plot and characters any less ridiculous.im not jaded at all i love the show but i love it for what it is a adrenaline rush story of a man with nothing to lose not for what people pretend it to be. Again its not some glimpse into the psyche of a man become sociopath.
Who said it was

I don't think anyone in here has said that.

and you brought up all of the "Tuco straight from Crank" and two guys worshipping the god of death.

Those people have different beliefs that ... unless you live there.... you'd not know if they're exaggerated or true.

The show is the opposite of "an adrenaline rush story of a man with nothing to lose"

The past 3 seasons... the entire show is about him trying to lose nothing!!!!

Because walt is not thinking straight, he's paranoid with everything thats going on lately. He has Hank all over his ass, Jesse flat out said that he was coming for him. He even explained to walt how he figured out where the money was even though he didn't. The GPS in the van, how would even know if the van had GPS or not. He was in the moment and was reacting to what Jesse was saying, he was rather convincing. Like i said you may find it lazy but I don't. There is no right or wrong here.
So he wasnt paranoid when concoted that brilliant plan to kill gus who was an infinitely bigger threat than lol jesse? Please thats not it at all.

That has nothing to do with that at all. Two different situations. It's not relevant.

Im talking about the shows premise which is very much a man with nothing to lose it obviously progressed, like every other show ever.

How is it different both situations are identical dea is on the trail there is a man threating his life. How are they different? Yet one is walt being calculated and calm and the foe is one of the most deadly men in the coutry.The other is him making mistakes and him being paranoid and his foe is again lol jesse.

I explained to you why, jesse made it seem like he had evidence. He explained it to Walt. And Walt wasn't calm when he was trying to kill gus he freaking out. If it wasn't for Saul telling walt about gus visiting hector who knows when he would have gotten a chance to kill him again. And like Gus, Walt is not perfect. He screws up time to time. Hank and Jesse out Heisenberged him. In a moment like that where walt freaks about jesse burning his money, not many people have time to think logically, their first instinct or human behavior is a reaction.

Made it seem like he had evidence? How could he possibly have evidence. Jesse had no idea where the money was he had no idea walt even moved it from the storage. All huell said was the money was in barrels and moved. Jesse obviously took his 15 million and put it in a barrel. I was screaming at the tv wtf are you doing Walt you are leading him to your money.

I don't think you are even paying attention to what i'm saying or even the show. Huell explains to hank that Walt moved the money and had rented the van from larrys or whatever, anyway hank says that the van has no GPS on it but Walt doesn't know that. Jesse later sends a text with a picture of what is suppose to be Walts money as if he is about to burn it. He tells walt that that huell told him everything and that the van he rented had a GPS on it and thats how he found the money. Walt doesn't think that jesse would ever go to the DEA so he just babbles about everything he did and how he did it for his family and jesse. Walt goes to the desert and finally realizes that he has been out smarted not only by jesse but later on hank as well which is why he was surprised to see him. He had no idea that jesse was working with hank.

It's pretty legit, i don't think i could explain it to you any other way.

What do you man walt doesnt know that , if he doesnt he should otherwise it just adds to the stupidity. You rent a van to move what 50 million dollars you arent gonna once over the van? Again this is a man thats supposedly a genius.

Walts not the one who rented the van. Huell did. And walts not perfect. He got tricked. Simple as that. Facts are facts. The man left a book in his bathroom that could have revealed who he was, and hank just happened to stumble upon it.

I think the problem here might be that you're looking at how the story is unfolding from the viewers perspective and not necessarily each individual characters perspective.

Walt doesn't have knowledge about what Jesse and Hank are up to, or even up to this point that Jesse and Hank were working together.

Kuby rented the van while Huell went to Home Depot and got the 7 barrels (semantics, I know).

I was never rooting for walt my hate for walt and hank led to me sop watching the show when it first started airing. Obviously all the acclaim convinced me to give it another shot and im glad i did my disdain for walt is still there but hank is now a great character and the reason im into the show. My ending would involve hank surviving skylar and walt jr dieing (nothing agains them but walt deserves it) jesse going to jail on a reduced sentence for rolling on walt the baby being raised by hank and marie. And Walt being on the run forever alone or dead either one as long as hes alone and everything he allegedly got into this for money ,family, pride, a worthy pupil all being taken away.

You do have a point about the book.

That would be kind of a shitty ending.

I'm sure they thought of all this but decided not to move forward with any of this shit because its far too predictable.

No it wouldnt the shields ending was similar and was amazing. Much better than a heroes ending for a man who is bottom tier scum a scarface ending would be a joke and a slap in the face to the audience. Sometimes with these anti hero shows people tend forget the main characters arent good guys they dont deserve happy or heroic endings.
