We see even more of the metaphor for Brian/.The Governor's struggle in the two brothers. On the one hand we have the ruthless man willing to do horrible things under the justification of "they would have died anyway"
On the other hand we have the one with a conscience, who wants to do the right thing, but is very ineffectual.
Now I doubt that Brian would have been as poor a leader as Pete(the nice guy) But the line about his brother getting hurt trying to protect hem from their abusive father, and failing informs the Governors opinion of heroes. Idiots who just get themselves hurt trying to save people they can't.
And of course, we can't forget about poor Martinez,That scene showed us The Governor was really just hiding, not suppressed like we thought. The whole time Brian is screaming "I don't want it!" while the Governor goes about his grisly business setting in motion the events that would lead him to taking over the camp. That was particularly heart wrenching, and to be honest, when The Governor went down to the lake I thought it was David Morrisey(the actor playing the Governor) under the water at first. as though to symbolize what had happened to the personality of Brian.
