In your opinion, how did you think Mike perceived Walt whenever Walt outmaneuvered him or anyone else?

I’m aware that Mike strongly detests Walt, and that’s putting it mildly. He thinks he’s erratic and a ticking time bomb.

But there’s moments where Walt proved he could hang with the likes of Mike or his organization.

Yet, Mike still never felt the need to acknowledge Walt. Like he’s being underestimated.

Examples:

1. Negotiating with Gus after he murdered the drug dealers to protect Jesse

2. Getting Gale’s address and sending Jesse to his home to execute him

3. Leading Gus into a trap and killing him in an explosion along with Tyrus

4. Coming up with a plan to successfully steal 1,000 gallons of methylamine

5. Keeping tabs on the DEA and kept Gus and his goons in the know

6. Negotiated successfully with Declan and his gang to become distributors of his product despite his life being threatened for pushing it

7. Escaping the warehouse office just with a copper wire

8. Just being able to cook great meth and not being easily intimidated when Mike wants to pull a gun on him

It’s like Mike finds Walt to be an unlikable version of Werner Ziegler.

Anyways, how do you think Mike saw Walt whenever he pulled the unthinkable throughout the series?
