Had to remove the second song for copyright claim which is why the editing around that part is a bit weird.

[tunasandwich]

Funny how Walt destroyed more cartel empires in a couple of seasons than the DEA did in their entire lifetime

[marshalmarshall]

Really puts into perspective just how much Walt both built and destroyed.

[bnn]

Walter did a better job to destroy drug empires than the dea

[NormalChannel]

It's unnerving how Heisenberg's empire was bigger than some countries in the world

[a_literal_brick]

And then no more drugs were ever made! Truly one of the happiest endings of all time!

[rvelarde-alvarez]

This makes the horror of the series feel more apparent

[mylifeisfunny]

I lost it at "Skylar fks Ted" 😂

[minecraftmaniac]

So without Walter the western drug empires would never have fallen, a true hero

[HumanistCommunicator]

2:53 The elevator smooth jazz music and the purity of the split second we get to absorb those three words really seals this as a moment of comedy gold, imho.

[TheSlayer]

Something that is never mentioned after the series is how many copycats of Blue Sky there will turn out to be after Walts death. Sure, we had Declan, but he is considered a 'reputable' dealer. Imagine the widespread influence of countless up-and-coming cooks there would be. Similarily to how the general public talks about Escobar and Guzman.

[Brilembi]

Seems pretty accurate, but I think the addition of Germany onto the map of the Czech Republic should be there because Gus had operations there and I believe Lydia mentions it too.

[JustinCage]

What's your favorite empire you like to learn about? The Roman Empire? Frankish?
Me:

[ckdestroyer]

This is really cool, i've always wanted to see the full extent of these empires

[JaneAndJohnDoe-wn]

March 5 2009 was a critical turning point in this Greek tragedy.

[yungoranj]

this vid probably exists in the breaking bad universe aswell

[chrb]

Gotta love how all of México was controlled by 1 cartel. Truly the most peaceful and quieter times of all its history.

[nateghast]

I find it funny that in a way Walter was a hero in that he monopolized the meth industry and took it down with him.

[szabolcsmolnar]

This just shows that Walter literally did the work of the DEA in the series. He completely put an end to the drug empires in the USA.

[Anonymousaggro]

This is such a nerdy thing to make I adore this.
