#like oh my god dont get me wrong. he assured the safety of his father. thats great. it doesnt make killing urself an act of heroism

really thought the way people talk about nacho's death would get less romanticized as time goes on but instead there's this retroactive decision that he never did anything wrong, was the most moral character in the show, and that shooting himself in the head so he wouldn't be violently tortured to death was a heroic act of love.

#darb.txt #better call saul #he's my 2nd favorite character in this show so dont take this the wrong way #i just really disagree with the way i keep hearing ppl talk about him. #sometimes i read posts about nacho and it just boils down to ''why killing urself is cool if youre young and hot'' #like oh my god dont get me wrong. he assured the safety of his father. thats great. it doesnt make killing urself an act of heroism #its like. not even an act of self-sacrifice either because he would have died no matter what he did #some of ur takes on him scare me and i mean that. #his story is far more about being doomed from the start and being stripped of agency to me. his final choice is not a real choice- #his choice to die is not a choice at all. suffer some more or get it over with. either way his death is certain. #his story is a tragedy it is not a story of love or absolution it is tragic and about a lack of control. but okayyyyyyyyyy #hes like how some of u treat jesse w/ the dial turned up to 11 #thats my hot take for today sorry.
