Anyone else think that Don Eladio was an absolute chill dude? The scenes with him were so comforting

Post image

What are the things we associate most with him?

Tequila, Partying and Swimming Pools. All fun.

I feel like he was really sweet too

Yeah. Though there was one time that he felt too warm and fuzzy he had to dive to the pool face first. An amazingly chill man Don Eladio is.

“Frunk”. He’s also funny. I’m just amazed he can make a pun in a foreign language. What a smart guy.

Whos don eladio?

u/WirelessCavalier 19h ago

Ohhh I just looked it up and apparently his name in the original American version of Breaking Bad is Download Audio, makes sense tbh Download Audio does sound more American than Don Eladio. I watched the Columban version Metástatis and apparently to resonate with the local audience, they changed it to Don Eladio. Bravo Vince.

u/useful_potato_ Chicken Male Grindset 13h ago

Why are you crying? It's not that emotional

u/SquareDinner5357 8h ago

Actually, it is. "Download Audio" can be translated to "Crying because it's emotional" in colombian.

u/Coconut_Scrambled 15h ago

I don't understand why people say he's a bad guy. Not even in a single scene do we see him kill anybody. In fact I don't even think I've seen him with a gun. He just likes to drink and party.

11

u/flex_tape_salesman 13h ago

We see him order the death of one gay guy and suddenly he's a monster

23

u/ilovesuhi 15h ago

Apparently, he was a very active napster user back in the day.

Download Audio is a hungry man

u/Meaning-Special 13h ago edited 9h ago

He was a connoisseur of fine tequila and all he did was ask his workers to do their jobs, not take meth from chicken man while on the clock and not disrespect what he had put together. I think he and Waltuh would have gotten along well

u/EmotionalElk1313 13h ago

Download Audio will have you killed at a hint of disrespect, real chill dude.

u/nexkey91 11h ago

Great employer, too. I'd love to switch places with the waiter who has to pour the drinks.

Very kindly can you please remove this and refrain from your goon sesh given there were miners on this sub and we wanted to maintain a safe space for them

u/National_Answer_6655 10h ago

In a world full of druggie criminals like Jane and Skinny Pete, Lalo and Download were really just about having a good time and really brought some levity to the show!

You need to see better call saul

u/infiniti30 6h ago

He helps Jesse with his sobriety as well. What a good dude.

3

u/waldaj911 14h ago

No, quite the opposite. He always has that supercilious look—the kind that makes you feel beneath him. That "one snap of the fingers and you're dead" kind of feeling.

u/Dolphinfucker5000 10h ago

Always loved download audio

1

u/CapitalDream 8h ago

IMO too warm and fuzzy. Needed that "friendly one moment, then critical or pressing the next" that Tony Soprano etc and others had

Outside of when he popped Gus' partner I didn't get "respected criminal leader" or a threatening vibe from him.

u/jms21y 8h ago

he was definitely a warm and convivial host

1

u/iicup2000 6h ago

All he wanted to do was swim in his pool, soak in the Sun, drink and celebrate, but Hank kept sending his drug goons to torment him

u/Pipeguy17 5h ago

He has a friendly face

u/MiserablePassion9264 4h ago

He was also Antonio Montanas BFF.
