Walter White is the one who knocks, but he might not be knocking on heavens door just yet.
Following the Breaking Bad finale in 2013, itd be easy to assume White (Bryan Cranston) was dead, right?
Lets review the evidence:
In the final episode, we see White remotely fire a machine gun from his cars trunk into the Neo-Nazi hideout, killing nearly everyone and also apparently injuring himself. He starts bleeding a lot. After telling Lydia (Laura Fraser) over the phone that he poisoned her with ricin and watching Jesse (Aaron Paul) escape, White walks among meth-making equipment and eventually collapses. The final image were left with is White, whos also supposedly already dying of cancer, lying motionless on the ground in blood-soaked clothes as the cops rush in.
To any casual viewer, hes dead. Hes clearly very dead.
But thats not enough for theorists.
Since that time, Breaking Bad fans have come up with elaborate (and convincing) theories about how White couldve survived. One idea explained on The Film Theorists YouTube channel even takes into account the height of the car in which White installed the machine gun.
The video determines that Whites injury is not as bad as we thought; and the police, who were right on the scene, likely ensured that he would survive to face trial. The theory also claims that his cancer (surprisingly) couldve helped his blood clot better, perhaps saving his life.
