Comment on Breaking: BAD
Aeri@lemmy.world 6 days agoAll the characters just felt like sad upsetting people and I wound up disliking Walt because it was clear his ego was gonna get him killed. Especially after he killed the dude he was supposed to train.

Fair. Although Gus wanted Gale to replace Walter because Walter was a bit of a liability. So for Walter, it was kill or be killed.

I know that this is like, the point of the show or whatever but it just makes me grumbly because I feel like if Walt was just 10% less of an asshole, 10% more humility. He could have had a perfectly successful criminal career and made out like a fucking bandit. But he was all like oh I’m Heisenberg bro and look where it fucking got him.
It just felt unsatisfying. I wanted to like Breaking Bad, I acknowledge that it’s well crafted, I just didn’t enjoy it. You can think something is a quality product but not personally enjoy it.

But it was never about the money. It was about his desire to realize his potential and feel like he was in control of his own life.
