evidence for slippin jimmy's canonicity: twitter from the creators says it's canon, every official show description says it's canon, promotional material says it's canon, jimmy recalls its events in better call saul
evidence against slippin jimmy's canonicity: it is wacky
you are insane

apparently its exclusive to amc+, but a dedicated slippin jimmy fan showed it to me. i’ll upload it to youtube later today, note that i found it through a shitpost meaning it’s potato quality

The issue with the show is that it has frequent supernatural and ridiculous events transpiring and yet it is seemingly canon to the very much rooted in reality world of Breaking Bad. At absolute best it’s a fantastical and exaggerated telling of Jimmy’s childhood, and thus while canon, not reliable for feats

kid named credible:
that is literally the argument against slippin jimmy being canon, it is too wacky compared to breaking bad
it only has one supernatural event though, and even then it is through a religion which is widely believed to be true irl and has some level of canonical influence in breaking bad through the “eye of god”

i do think it’s a bit weird to act like a series rooted in reality cant portray religious shit, does everyone just assume atheism is correct on this wiki

If I’m not misremembering from skimming through bits of this thread didn’t they literally summon a demon that promptly possessed someone? You’d be lying to yourself if you said you believed that event to be something that totally happened and can happen again in the extremely based on reality world of Breaking Bad

the existence of an “eye of god” means that the breaking bad universe follows christianity to some extent, so demons existing isn’t much of a stretch from there

breaking bad itself is prone to bits of unrealistic action as well, walter suicide bombs a building and leaves with a nosebleed

There’s a scene where jimmy straight up moves parts of his film. I think we’d see him use that more in BCS and BB if he had that ability
I’ve always read Slippin jimmy as an interpretation of jimmy’s past life that is a bit exaggerated probably by Saul himself or just how he imagines it
Also wasn’t the consensus that yeah the events in Slippin jimmy probably did happen but in here they’re too exaggerated and cartoony to be said to have been feats that happen in the reality of the BB universe

toon force comes from the medium he’s portrayed in and should only apply to slippin jimmy, however the feats should scale to saul

yes it symbolizes god keeping an eye on walt, which would make no sense if there wasn't a god in the first place
it doesn't, slippin jimmy does though lol

I have literally never watched Breaking Bad but I assure you that it’s symbolic of Walter’s guilty conscience rather than an actual deity watching over him and judging

i do agree that it is ******* ridiculous and stupid and has no place in the franchise. i do not like slippin' jimmy. it spits in the face of everyone who poured so much talent and hard work into the original shows. it was likely created by people who don't give two ***** about breaking bad, only about the money it makes, and it was likely made canon by those same people. but just because it's a horribly stupid decision doesn't mean it's non-canon. you act like the creators of slippin' jimmy would actually care about whether or not it's consistent with breaking bad. they don't. you act like these people would be reasonable enough to realize that pentagrams and exorcisms have no place in the franchise. they aren't. they simply don't care. it is still canon, however, as the creators said so

Where do the creators explicitly say it is canon, and what power do they have to exert such a thing?
Statements that Slippin’ Jimmy is Saul’s origin story are not statements it is canon. It proves it is tied to some version of the Breaking Bad Universe, but it does not prove it is canon to the show.

until vince inevitably confirms alternate timelines there is only one version of the breaking bad universe

Yes.
It's not about that. It's about consistency. Summoning literal demons from hell and them having demonstrable supernatural powers does not mesh with Breaking Bad/BCS's world in any capacity.
You're taking an inch and trying to make a mile.
Walter White with unknown science making an explosive that is loud enough sound to shake a building is unrealistic, but not to a massive degree or by such a that it requires the audience to suspend their disbelief regarding the show. The belief hell (and heaven) are not only real for the universe but that the beings of those realms can actively interfere and be summoned into the mortal world requires a far larger amount of suspended disbelief that doesn't match either show.
The cartoon is just not useable for the live-action show. But as mentioned earlier profiles for the cartoon are acceptable.

fulminated mercury is a real thing, there's no unknown science to it. the problem is that it would instantly kill everyone in the room
thats literally just being a christian

There is, because Walter says the following
He altered it. MythBusters even mentions that aspect of it when they cover some stuff from the show. To quote an overview of the episode as well
Which is why I said he used magic science. Since he made something technically not possible, but not something that would destroy the suspension of disbelief either.
Summoning demons to possess people, which then allows them to crawl and walls and turn their heads 180 degrees is vastly different from believing in a Biblical Demon.
