24 Awful, Awful, Awful TV Characters That Were Unfortunately The Main Character Of Their Show When They Should’ve Been Killed Off In Episode 1
“Every choice he makes puts his family at risk, he refuses help out of stupid pride, he’s arrogant, and he wound up getting at least 160 people killed. He’s a brilliant chemist, but he’s a shit businessman and an evil person.”
“One of the most frustrating moments of the show was when Hank and the DEA concluded Gale was Heisenberg, but a drunk Walt’s pride could not let someone else take credit for his illegal work.”
“I’m rewatching Breaking Bad now, and it occurred to me pretty early on how much of a loser Walter White really is. The constant terrible lying, the insecure ego-trips, how much of a fucking douche he is to Jesse, and he’s a dork to boot. He’s such a disingenuous fucking dickhead that my biggest plot hole so far is how he pulled Skyler White in the first place. For all her faults, she’s leagues better than Walt.”
“He also could have taken a job offer from his old company in the first few episodes. Yes, it was pity and charity, but it would’ve been a meaningful job in the chemical industry and solved his problems.
That’s why his confession to Skyler in the very end was so important — I did it for me. He wanted the thrill of ‘breaking bad’ and not quietly or competently solving his problems like a normal person, but a menace with nothing to lose.”
