Characters don't get any more badass than Mike Ehrmantraut, and this scene from Better Call Saul is all you need to prove it.

Does this really fit with mike? I mean, this isn't Marvel, and I never thought of Mike to have exceptional martial powers. He gets killed by Mike, afterall. He just seemed like a veteran who was powerful because he had good sense. He knew the right thing to do in a situations. When he's hiding in a refrigerated truck, he doesn't burst out and do a spinning gun kata, he just lays flat and waits for them to open the door.

And then he tosses like 5 guns into the trash? wont the guy he took them from pick them out of the trash? maybe that's the point, I'm guessing Mike doesn't think it's a good idea to leave 5 guns with his fingerprints on them at the top of a trash can for a janitor or homeless person to find.

And that High-way meeting with Gus seemed dumb too. Gus is supposed to be highly cautious and reserved, and he just has a meeting in broad daylight on a country road? Tell me that anyone who saw that scene wouldn't think something illegal war occuring. For someone like Gus, just a photograph of that meeting would be ruining, let alone a photograph of him in meeting surrounded by career criminals that probably have ongoing investigations, or could come under investigation. Did Gus set up roadblocks to turn back any cars that might drive through? no one within the miles that they're visible from, set up with a telescopic lens? The land all around them fenced, and I don't know much about land management out west, but I assume there are atleast a few people living out there. it would just take one photograph of this guy would do it. It's not as though Gus had anything too important he had to say to his face. sounds like mike could get the full memo on the phone just as well.
