The only reason you are alive and he isn't is because I know who you are

Why did Vince constantly allude to Gustavo's mysterious past but never actually got into it?

Because it doesn't have anything to do with the story. His family were high ups with Pinochet. That's all that needs to be said.

It's being hinted at even stronger in Better Call Saul. Obvious next move in the Breaking Bad universe (from a financial standpoint if not a story one) is to do a Gus prequel.
Giancarlo Esposito was always going on about how he'd love to do "The Rise of Gus". I'd say he's now far too old to do it, but given the flashbacks in Better Call Saul, I wouldn't be shocked if they did it anyway.

>His family were high ups with Pinochet
When was that ever mentioned?

gus mentions it in s4 when hank asks him about his background, gus says all documents and records pertaining to his existence during the pinochet regime is gone thanks to how turbulent the things were at the time for chile, but never mentions his family being high up

It's implied. His Chilean heritage is mentioned and the time period for him to be someone that a cartel Don wouldn't risk killing lines up with Pinochet's regime.

it really doesn't matter for one. gus is basically a cartoon stoneface villain man who does the plots within plots thing to such a comical degree that it makes the crime plot of BCS kind of embarrassing.

Agreed. They shouldn't have used the fact Mike was a fan favourite as rationale to dovetail his and Saul's stories to such a degree at the start.
Make it seem ridiculous that Mike goes from a toll-booth worker to Gus' head enforcer in less time than it takes Jimmy to become a sleazy lawyer.

>mysterious past
he's gay

He was going to do a prequel but now I guess he is simply too old. The guy looks like 70, unless they cast a younger Gus its not happening.

They do go over more of Mike (and his son's) police history during BCS though. It's made clear the only reason he's even in Albuquerque is his daughter-in-law and son's kid.

Whats there to say? Are you one of the retards who clapped when Solo explained the Solo name and the kessel run? It doesnt add shit.

You know he or his family were Pinochet goons according to BB. There is nothing to said that would add to the plot or the universe of BB.

he's a gay chicken seller

>he or his family were Pinochet goons
Never stated, dumbfuck

"who you are" was referring to the Don thinking he had Gus figured out and that he wasn't a threat. This board really is filled with brainlets.

I reckon they'd want to involve Giancarlo in some way though, and he would probably love to be involved. But a framing device with Gus remembering his past or being a narrator would probably be hokey (or just too repetetive of the Gene scenes in Better Call Saul)

He killed Allende

Low IQ post

He's a CIA spook

It was implied, retard.

You are some kind of special retard right? Jesus, BB is not high art. Its almost capeshit. How the fuck cant you follow such a simple plot?

>my headcanon is fact
Fuck off midwits

>implications are headcanon now
user, if you flap your ears, you will fly! Try it out!

It was not implied, you moron. Personal interpretation is not the same as actual implication.

>it is literally said that his records are sketchy in the Pinochet era, which is what happened to every person who colaborated with the regime
>hurrr it's your implication
Unless you believe Gus' excuse.
Try the trick with the ears, you'll love it.

>involvement with Pinochet's regime necessarily implies high status
>redditor-tier passive agressive bitch insults
Neck yourself faggot.

Gus can't carry an entire show by himself.

Gus mentions his family was dirt poor, so they weren't high ups. Pinochet sold coke and made sarin gas, my guess is, Gus rose through the ranks and supervised that side of the regime.

>records "missing" during Pinochet era
>Don Eladio, who could freely kill any other power player in the show without repercussion, won't touch him

His family were high ups in the Pinochet regime...

ah so its literally just head canon

it literally was you mouth-breathing moron

You saying that it was doesn't make it true, braindead faggot.
>extrapolation
As I said, headcanon.
