I think Jimmy lies to himself with that and buries his own guilt on Howard as a punching-ball. Walt was just a total sociopath and didn't have a single remorse about Drew. As some said, and it's proven right in the entire show, the ultimate difference between Jimmy and Walt is that Jimmy immediately feels guilt and wants to repair what he broke by being greedy/addicted to his childish scams and pranks.

2025-01-13 19:27:26 +0000 UTCI think it’s very significant that Jimmy and Howard are canonically the exact same age; Howard is like the respectable version of Jimmy, the little brother Chuck actually wanted; much like Jimmy, Howard is the people-pleasing salesman type who Chuck needs to compensate for his own social weaknesses; much like Jimmy, Howard enables Chuck’s delusion in an effort to support and care for him; Jimmy is deeply jealous of Howard to begin with, but Chuck’s death solidifies this; Jimmy has been desperate for Chuck’s love and approval, which he can never have now that Chuck is dead; Jimmy is devastated and can’t face his true feelings, so he pushes them onto Howard I think the way Jimmy reacts to Chuck’s death is also related to their father’s death, which may or may not have also been a suicide; Chuck blamed Jimmy for killing their father, and I believe internalizing this guilt was the origin of Jimmy’s pathology; I think when Chuck dies, Jimmy feels he has killed his father all over again, and is unable to face it, so he shuts down emotionally; the shame and guilt are just too much for him
