Better Call Saul Fandom Still Thinks This Character Was Unfairly Sidelined
It's not all about Saul after all, right?
Better Call Saul has become a sensation among fans of the Breaking Bad universe. The series has received critical acclaim for its writing, acting and cinematography.
However, there was one cool character that the writers decided to leave out for some reason.
This unlikely character is Pryce. He is a small-time drug dealer, a lonely and awkward man who desperately wants to be accepted by the criminal underworld.
Pryce is often seen wearing a Star Trek outfit and keeping collectible cards on the shelf.
His character is a perfect example of the show's ability to create complex and unique individuals that add depth to the Breaking Bad universe.
A kind of nice Ted Beneke that fans have been clamoring to see on screen for more than a few seasons. Viewers note that the showrunners often describe the minor characters in incredible detail, allowing them to become more fulfilling.
Examples often include Combo, who sold Walt and Jesse an RV, and Gretchen and Elliot, who were used to create an image of jealousy and envy for Mr. White.
Better Call Saul featured a veterinarian who provided contacts for Nacho and Mike. Fans even mention the infamous prostitute Wendy, who has appeared in both shows in the universe.
Of course, Pryce almost caused Hector's downfall by getting too deep into the shady business with Mike and Nacho, but Redditor hushpolocaps69 seems to think that the goofy nerd was left behind on the show.
Many thought Pryce would return to the series, but after season 4, it became clear that the character's storyline was over.
The Redditor thinks it would have been funny if Pryce had become a tough thug or bought the laser tag building that Saul offered to Walt and Skyler to launder money.
However, some fans have pointed out that the showrunners have never really gone out of their way for the audience.
That's what makes the series great. Others simply point to the actor's unavailability due to filming schedules.
Still, Pryce's storyline ended quite logically. Many agree the series didn't need to develop this character's arc and rightly focused on Jimmy, Chuck, Kim, Howard, Gus and Lalo.
