Gus should have stayed good when he came back


I like the theory Drew had about what people where like before they died and how that might determine how they came back. See everyone prior to Gus being buried they was all good people that was buried and they came back evil. Gus however was evil before he was buried, so it had like an opposite effect on him, turning him good (well at least at firs).

I just wish he didn't eventually turn evil when he killed Clyde, it would have been interesting seeing someone actually be turned good from the burial ground. Say like if you're good when you're buried there it brings you back evil, but if you're evil when buried it brings you back good.

I just thought it was an interesting theory.

I think it doesn't just bring you back as the opposite of whatever you are, it brings you back insane so no matter how good or bad you are, eventually your rotting brain is going to catch up with you...

It doesn't bring people back the opposite of what they were in life. It corrupts the soul of those you bury there. They come back wrong
Annnnnd Gus may have been a huge d*ck in life but he wasn't evil, he was just a jerk.

Good point. However i do think you could call Gus evil or at least a psychopath, cause just look after he finds Drew at that halloween party, he actually punches a young kid in the face and then is about to bash him with a wooden cross until the dog interrupts him. That goes a bit beyond being a d*ck.

Agreed! Gus was a pretty evil guy in my opinion. The scene you mentioned, plus how he just shoots his kid's dog like it was nothing. Evil.

Gus was actually more likable and funny when he came back. Before he was just a no good sob.
