Better Call Saul: Ace Attorney (Spoilers)

Jimmy versus Chuck in court, Phoenix Wright-style!

Note: Season 3 Spoilers

[thalamusDecimation]

To be fair, Chuck's disorder does seem like something straight out of Ace Attorney.

[manuelprivate]

If youre inocent, call phoenix wright, if youre guilty, better call saul

[Reach]

The four hit combo after Huell says, "Hour and forty-three minutes. -_-" had me dying.

[imhungryletseat]

I just noticed that Chuck winced in pain when Jimmy put the empty cell phone on the table in front of him. Great subtle hint to Chuck's illness being psychological and not physiological

[donaminta]

the music in the back of this really shows just how important audio mixing in a TV show is for setting the tone, particularly the music that plays when Jimmy makes Chuck pull the phone battery out of his pocket. In this video it feels triumphant because of the music, when in the show, with no music accompanying it, it just felt sad.

[bobhorton]

The flashback scene with the grayed out effects is INCREDIBLE dude.

[spyrofan]

I really want a defendant in the next Phoenix Wright game to be accused of defecating through a sun roof

[ZPM]

I actually just realized how smart Jimmy is here. He set up two different red herrings for Chuck: his ex-wife being there, and the phone without the battery. And Chuck takes the bait on both of them. He's intentionally making himself look like a bad lawyer relying on simple gambits and it works. He knows that Chuck thinks that he'll go for plays like that because Chuck thinks Jimmy's a bad lawyer and he took advantage of that. Obviously the phone was a ploy, but the ex-wife was subtle enough to make it look like he was on his last legs. Very smart.

“If you had lung cancer...”
Hey I understood that reference

[gpmegaman]

This fits too fucking perfectly, the breakdown at the end is SO perfectly matched to Phoenix Wright games

[Barrobroadcastmaster]

"There's a lantern on top of newspapers."
Major foreshadowing.

[lewisdavidson]

Chuck has gotta hate that Jimmy beat him when he had the advantage and all he had to do is stay quiet. Chuck destroyed himself, he was the only one who could and Jimmy exploited that.

[bluekewne]

9:05 you know how every Ace Attorney has the bad guy freak out in some weird over the top fashion? This is Chuck's freak out.

[achillesnakis]

It's amazing how this series even makes the viewer feel like Jimmy is innocent even though you obviously know hes not

[gmh]

This is amazing and there's little I'd add to it.

One small detail that I think would have been funny: when one of the judges said "We did promise the defence some leeway. You may proceed... But watch yourself.", I would have put the five "health points" on the upper right, with one of them blinking. Totally felt like one of those AA moments where the judge warns you that any pointless pressing will result in a penalty.

I really like the part where the camera looks at each person in response to the breakdown

[wizardvozk]

This is made better by the fact that it’s very common for characters to have pun names in Ace Attorney and Jimmy’s alias “Saul Goodman” is a pun of the phrase “(It)’s all good man.”

[lucaspallone]

My favorite thing that's really accentuated by this edit is that at 7:19 Chuck flinches even without the battery being in the phone, made super clear by the relevant effects. It's not until he realizes Jimmy's ploy that he relaxes

[JC]

The Suspense theme kicking in at 5:37 as Jimmy says "Yeah, I do" was PERFECT.

[bloodyperiodinhistory]

I like how Saul Goodman, who would one day be some 2 bti ambulance chaser, was good enough to defeat the greatest attorney in the New Mexico area.
