Mam react on kgf 1 and 2 indian movies trust me i swear to god these 2 movies will blow your mind bcoz these 2 movies best movies of indian industry you should react on indian movies too.
I think Walt's personality can be summarized with 'control'. He has not been in control of his life for most of it, and now he feels like he is. People have used him, manipulated him, ignored him, looked down on him, etc. His wife, his son, his employer(s), his brother-in-law, his friends, his business partners, his students, basically everyone he ever met. Either in real life, or just in his head. I think that has festered in him, and when he got diagnosed he wanted to have some actual control for once, and that was to control his family would be taken care of after he died. But that opened the door to him being in control of more and more. Turned out he was really good at something a lot of people would pay him a lot of money for. And with money comes power, and power is control. He's not stupid, at all. He's the smartest guy in the room basically every time. But he's not just his intelligence, he's also his insecurity, his ego, his need to control, his fear of going back to who he was, etc. That's where the dumb decisions come from. But if you look at it through the lens of 'control', it does always make sense WHY he does it.
the scene where Skyler says she’s “waiting for the cancer to come back” is one of the most underrated scenes in the show. it gives me chills everytime. shit is amazing.
Walt refuses to admit his family's in danger because it would mean admitting to himself that he CAN'T "have it all." He wants to believe he can be the badass crime boss with a global empire AND also be the wholesome family man with the perfect normal home life. So any suggestion that home life is being compromised is like being told "you failed, you're wrong." And his current ego cannot accept that.
No. I don't think that's it. I think Walt equates the two together. Being a badass crime boss IS being a wholesome family man with the perfect normal life. If you don't have the 2nd, you're not really achieving the first. I think he sees confidence and comfortability as signs of truly being at the top.
Wow the length these two go to to find reasons to hate Walt. The scene of Mike wanting to go kill Lydia tells you all you need to know, they go “Oh he's gonna put his tiny hat on and say SLAY THE WOMAN” Walter doesn’t want him to kill her they go “he’s an idiot!”. So no matter what Walt was gonna say they was gonna find a reason to hate him. And it’s funny Mike is the one proposing to go kill Lydia and they don’t even react cause it’s only Walt they judge, they just sit there waiting for Walt to say or do something so they can pounce and rant about it. Meanwhile other characters do just as heinous stuff and they don't get mad about any of it, Mike can kill whoever, Lydia a mother of a young daughter whos scared and they don't even care, but if Walt was doing it they would be flying off the handle saying he's disgusting. They’re almost unbearable at this point with how they just rant about Walt every single scene he’s in.
because mike calmly states his point of view and walt goes on a ego rant about how this train won’t stop, that’s what makes walt an idiot they literally say this in the video you clearly didn’t watch, but you’ve been in the comment section repeating this over and over, genius move. Next time, watch the show, surprisingly the show called breaking bad is about a character breaking bad, walt is evil. People like you are just mad your fav daddy isn’t liked by everyone, maybe find a father figure to look up to.
@@thatonediodude4904 Maybe read my response moron, where i clearly said no one has issue with them not liking Walt, but them bitching about every single thing he does and going on rants whenever he so much as breathes the wrong way. And i love how you say they have no issue with Mike wanting to kill Lydia cause he "Calmly states his point of view", yeah sure buddy that totally makes all the difference in the world and makes it fine to want to go kill this woman. If Walt stated his opinion calmly on wanting to kill Lydia they'd rant about it all the same and you know they would.
@@thatonediodude4904 "Because Mike Calmly states his point of view" ok you're just blindly defending them i see. He still wants to kill Lydia and they was ready to pounce and rant thinking Walt was gonna agree to it, didn't matter if he calmly agreed to it and explained his reasoning or not they was gonna rage on him. And its nuts i have to keep repeating this, but no one is mad they don't like Walt, people are annoyed they explode into a rant with every single thing Walt does, every opinion he has, every word practically that comes out of his mouth. I've seen tons of others react to this show and not do that, its literally just them that go on these lengthy rants with every thing his character does. Hate him all you want but ffs we don't need the constant whining about his actions, they need to accept thats who he is in the show and not act outraged every time he does something bad in a show called Breaking Bad. And i have to keep repeating myself because people like you need to have it explained to you.
@@SAMCRO_89 walt just does a lot of shitty things and people logically call that out, they only got on walt because he literally just said one of the most unhinged lines from him in the entire show, you would know this if you actually watched the show. Do you want them to celebrate when he poisons kids because you don’t like it when people say bad things are bad? Getting worked up about a character isn’t a bad thing, it means that you like the show enough that even a hateable character grabs your attention and makes you react, it’s called a reaction video afterall, you’re just mad that they dislike a character you like, and I get it I was 12 once to but nowadays I tend to not mind it when someone doesn’t like my favorite fictional meth man. You just want them to sit there blindly going “oh there’s walt doing his thing”, you don’t want any discussion on walt’s morals and how he effects the people around him because you can’t handle an opposing opinion on a fictional character, and to top it off you’re watching a form of content where the entire point is hearing opposing opinions….
I genuinely don't think there's a single thing Walt can say or do in the remainder of the show to impress them or even just pause the hate for a second lmao. The hatred is too deep at this stage
@@Shrewdy1 I'm not saying that they shouldn't stop with the hatred towards Walter since he is the villain of the series but we must admit that his plays are entertaining to watch
walt is egotistical, conceited, deluded, self centered......but please remember he signed the divorce papers. skyler chose not to file them and inserted herself into the scheme. she has no one to blame but herself
While this is true, the fandom’s reaction to her speaks volumes. They absolutely despised her when she was doing the ethical thing and working against him, but even when she switches gears and starts to help him, they still despise her because now she’s a hypocrite. Walt is praised for becoming a criminal. She gets insulted for becoming a criminal. Meanwhile Walt is also a hypocrite because he insists he’s a loving family man even though he’s actively putting his family in danger.
@@artistfloor9 exactly, ppl always complaining skyler's the hypocrite , but walt is the biggest hypocrite of all lol lying to himself and everyone about his true intentions
@@artistfloor9 yeah I agree, I think this show is lost on people. It's about how ALL of these are gray characters, on the spectrum somewhere of Good to Evil. You can actually track back everyone's stories and see the REASON they do what they do.
The absolute hatred for the main character 😂😂, Walt is a great character, he's not likable as a person, but he's a great character, he's not an idiot, he is very arrogant though 😂
He is an idiot. He’s very book smart, he’s a genius when it comes to chemistry. He is not smart when it comes to decisions in his personal life. At all.
@JackCraft-tm9hj You are the one who needs to calm down here . I don't agree with their opinion on walt's character, but that doesn't mean that i can't watch their hilarious reactions and complain about it 🤣 I watch them because they are so funny and entertaining not because they are smart and understand the show and nothing is wrong with that buddy 😉
@@Dahmen-ll8cd Did I tell anyone to calm down? Walt fan boys just need setting straight, they have become an embarrassment. They are literally melting down because two strangers don't like their favorite boy, two strangers they choose to watch every week, then cry in the comments with the same stuff every week. "REEE, Gus is bad too! REEE Walt is my hero". It's pathetic. They are literally trying to pressure reactors to change how they react, this completely defeats the purpose of watching how other people react. It's so narcissistic and self-obsessed. They aren't going to change so either get over it or go watch someone else, you don't have to be here, stop torturing yourselves. But what can I expect from people who think Walt is the best thing ever, you'd have to be delusional and immature to like Walter White. 95% of the time by this point in the show he's being a POS.
This show painstakingly shows you the reasons for Walt's bruised yet massive ego, his bitterness and resentment that he carries around with him, his desperation to be remembered and recognised, his general feeling for so long that life dealt him a shit hand, and how ultimately all of that (plus the cancer diagnosis) caused a neutron bomb level explosion inside of him that he has been riding ever since. And yet you guys say that you don't get his behaviour 😆. I'm not saying for a second that Walter is a good person; he categorically isn't. But he is painfully human and the show tells you everything you need to know to understand why he does what he does; not matter how frustrating it is at times. You say you felt bad for Kendall for being the product of his environment. Well Walt is the product of what has happened to him.
Well but it is also mostly caused by himself. He choose to leave gretchen, work as a teacher etc. Not saying that he still is not a victim, but it is important that his life is the results of his own actions.
@@mappes1 yes there are plenty of choices he makes that are solely his responsibility. But they are still rooted in his make-up as a person, something he has very little choice in. He left Gretchen because of his feelings of inferiority around her family and their wealth. This inferiority complex is clearly another part of Walt’s make-up that has haunted him his entire life. That alone doesn’t make me hate him. We all feel inferior sometimes; it’s a common human experience. It makes me pity him really. It’s only when combined with all of these other things I mentioned that you have the perfect dangerous recipe for ‘Hisenberg’
@@wanbawmcgraw3022 i mean but at what point are his complexes turning him into an evil person? A husband who is plagued by an inferioritycomplex and feeling inadequate for his wife is to pity - but if he starts to systematically terrorize his wife because of it, the pity is done, and the person is just evil, no matter where it stems from. Same for walter Walt is an adult being with a high intelligence amd has every capacity to reflect on himself if he wants to, he is not insane. he chooses to throw the pity party for himself and terrorize basically his surroundings and the world at large (i mean, he directly produces crystal meth for people to get addicted on and kills a ton of people and threatems his wife). At some point, the pity is gone and the excuse is gone, too. Many people who do terrible things were voctims at some point in their lives. It does not excuse what they did. It explains it, but it does not excuse it
For people who repeatedly claim not to understand Walt, they are awfully quick to make blanket assertions about his character, and grossly inaccurate predictions about his actions....
I was a bit baffled at the scene about the kids... "Why does he want to stop Skyler from sending the kids away, just because he want to be the man?" Huh, no? Because he's a father and they're his kids? One could definitely argue that it's not safe and that Skyler is right, but it's still obvious why Walter disagrees, and it's not about him being an egomaniac or anything...
@@newpgaston6891 Are you serious? Of course it’s about him being an egomaniac. He disagrees with the idea of his children being in danger because he’s an egomaniac lmao
@@artistfloor9 Two things can be true at once. Yes he’s an egomaniac who wants to be in control but he also loves his children and doesn’t want them gone
@@comeatmebro8120 I never said he doesn’t feel love for his children. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s dumb and egotistical to deny that he’s been putting them in danger from the very start and creating his own drug empire isn’t going to keep them safe.
I watch you guys react to a bunch of shit. Love watching yall. But man the Walt hate is really starting to wear me down lol i get it. But its soooo strong. Its like, we know what the joker is. We dont hate on his wild behavior. We just sit back and enjoy the show. Same mentality should apply to walt at this point lol
No doubt! I was thinking the same thing. I also think they're not enjoying the show as much because they keep trying to predict what's gonna happen next, and as we all know, BB is probably one of the most UNPREDICTABLE shows ever. Sometimes you just gotta sit back and enjoy the show...
@Al-ji4gd everything they say DURING the show could be said after the episode. Talk about not understanding the show, you realize it's about him, right? It's not fantasy to see that the point literally goes way over their heads.
@@Al-ji4gd THe fuck, you some kind of braindead cuck ? People are saying not to whine and moan during the dialogues and you are out here saying stupid shit like an idiot.
@@Serryy Most reactors I’ve seen don’t drink Walt’s koolaid. They dislike him as well but they just aren’t as passionate about their hatred for Walt as these two
@@Serryy Appreciating him as a character is not 'drinking the kool aid'! They're doing quite the opposite of people who justify everything Walter does, they're condemning everything Walter does; They thought he would send Mike to kill Lydia and called him evil, then he said he wasn't gonna do that and they call him an idiot. If you hate someone for X thing and you also hate him for the opposite of X thing that's not just "not drinking the kool aid", that's blind hatred and trying to find faults in everything he does. Same thing with the kid situation... Of course Skyler is right to want them out of the this, but acting surprised that Walter doesn't want to send them away, questionining why he "wants to be the man".. What? Its his kid... What parent wouldn't want to keep his kids? That's not "trying to be the man", that's just being a father.
@@comeatmebro8120 This. Most see his bad side. But like me, they still either root for him, or love his character because it's what drives the show. For some reason, others think that means we believe Walt is in the right or the good guy here. No.
They've recorded the ending of the show at this point; so while im not posting atraight up spoilers, i think it's fine to talk about the future episodes in abstract. The fact that walter gets worse and worse, the shows point is that yes, he's the villain and a monster who ruins everything around him, and that multiple characters make bad choices and are selfish etc. means that this overwhelming dismissal of walts talents or capabilities is counterproductive. If therr was the slightest acknowledgment of Walt's talents or capabilities, if there was the slightest acknowledgment that most people in this show make bad choices and succumb to some form of greed or pride, if there wasnt a continuing need to elevate other TERRIBLE people up morally as if they didnt also engage in the same behavior that Walt does, then there could be an honest accountig that YES walt is the ultimate villain and the fact that he outstrips the evil of other characters is terrifying, but instead weve got to dismiss the possibility that Walt has any talents, give props to mass murderers for being "reasanoble businessmen" and actively diminish Walt's evil within the story by denying that he had motivations other than pride for various actions. I guess whatever it tales to post-hoc rationalize our feelings rather than take a story for what it is.
When Walt calls out all her ideas back to back just dissecting them is impressive but damn it’s rough 😂 however he wasn’t wrong about beneke he was correct
Vince Gilligan picked it because it was a famously shitty and underwhelming car, as just one more signal of how pathetic and boring Walt’s life was before he broke bad.
@@DarthRandal1138 It's a perfect symbol for the good intentioned and very naïve nature of Skyler at that point of the series. One funny thing is that there is a car community around PT Cruisers and there are a large number of women in it. 😄
You serious? No prize? He put his entire family in serious jeopardy all for his own ego. Walt was the "homewrecker" the minute he decided his pride was more important then his family's safety. If Skylar had just turned walt in yould hate her just as much. There is nothing she could have done besides roll over and let walt do whatever he wants that would make you like her.
Holy shit, I used to really enjoy these BB reactions but it feels like every single scene it's just whining whining whining. We know he's not a good person and he's doing bad things, but it becomes much harder to watch when the entire reaction is just whining lmao
They seem to be trying to find reasons to hate on his every move... "Watch, he's gonna want Lydia dead because he's evil!" Oops, he doesn't. "Wow, he's such an idiot" ???
Yep, at this stage it feels like watching two idiots watch a show. It's called breaking bad. We get it, Walt isn't a good guy but he can't see it as he slips step by step, decision by decision into a self destructive maniac...... We get it..... But it can still be interesting without whining about every minute of it. At this stage they should maybe stop watching..... It's clear they don't really enjoy the show.
Edit: Just an FYI, I still really enjoy the reactions... As much as Walt is a terrible person, you wanted him to indulge his villain side, and now that he has, you're perplexed? His ego has led him to think he can keep everything smooth at home while running his meth business. It's ridiculous, of course, but that's his character at this point.
I mean, yeah that is is his character, that is how he's indulging his villain side haha. Not quite the same as the satisfying competence and self-awareness of how Gus indulged his villain side :) I am going to keep enjoying them tearing their hair out at Walt's attitude about everything in this final season, since it's really the point of the show now!
If he didn't treat Skylar like nothing changed, if he recognized her terror of the situation, and empathized this would have gone so much better. But he still thinks he's Heisenberg when at home. Smh
Moreso perplexed that he doesnt understand why Skyler is not thrilled. But hey, any criticism or making fun of Walt has been met with outraged comments episode after episode, so maybe this is not about the reactors doing something wrong but about them not liking Walt.
@@alexarias5717 If he recognised any of that he wouldn't have come this far! He's a loose cannon. Has been since the moment he began this journey. If he opted to continue after Tuco, then you know he's a bit unhinged. The fact of the matter is, he took down Gus and now thinks he's invincible, and his ego is so through the roof that he's perplexed why Sky can't see the greatness behind what he's achieved.
Once again it IS walts fault since the beginning and these all HIS choices but skyler had the immediate easy chance to divorce him and passed and herself stayed in this situation of her own volition. No mention of that doe.
Skyler could have stayed at Hank and Maries with her kids, not slept with Ted to keep her paycheck and then found her own place like the other bajillion women who have done the same thing.
That's true but she's kinda gone too far now, like she can't go back OBVIOUSLY. But I'm sure she regrets it. She underestimated just how ambitious Walt was for power and glory because Walt always played it down like he was just an employee. And now it terrifies her.
@@usmansiddiqui549 Tbf Gus was more likeable and didn’t have as big of an ego as Walt. They were both bad people but had totally different personalities which is why I think they hate Walt so much
Walter: "I don't want to send my kids away to a different state or to their uncle for months. If you keep trying I'll have you committed" Reactors: "What an evil egomaniac!" Gus: "I will murder your wife and your toddler" Reactors: 😍😍😍
@@newpgaston6891 They've never once said Gus was not evil. They liked Gus for his well ordered, sophisticated, efficient operation that worked for years until Walt's ego destroyed it all. Gus didn't have a wife and kids that he was supposed to protect but instead put in constant danger to satisfy said ego, whilst lying to himself that he was doing it for them. Walt fan boys are so utterly delusional, now they are creating straw men because deep down they know Walt is a POS so they can't argue on that front, instead they have make stuff up in their heads.
I don't understand the disconnect. Sure, when Tucco kidnapped him, they were in danger. When cartel assassins were after him, they were in danger. When Gus was actively trying to replace him, they were in danger. But, they're all dead. Walt won. There's literally nobody standing against him. Hank is close, but he's always been kinda close. Relatively speaking, they're in the least amount of danger they've ever been in. How is Walt dumb for feeling safe at the moment? To tag onto your "camping with bears analogy," you're basically arguing never to go camping again. But, what's the problem? You've got your bear repellant (Mike). You've been told all the bears are in hibernation (all rivals are dead). So, why? Fear of the unknown. So, never drive, again? Driving's dangerous. Anything *could* happen. Right? No. The only dumb thing was not taking Mike's advice. Then again, seems like Walt came up with a convincing idea. Y'all gotta give Walt more leeway. Can't just keep dismissing everything he does cause you hate him. He's trying to make big moves. Let him cook.
It’s stupid of him to think that he “won” and therefore he’s safe. He’s faced violence from the moment he started cooking. His family has been under constant threat. It should be obvious to him that brutality is inherent to the drug world, and it’s not going to go away. Gus couldn’t escape the violence even though he had been meticulously building his business for years. Does he think there won’t be other competitors out for blood? Does he think the cartels simply don’t exist anymore now that the Salamancas are gone? If he’s such an intelligent guy, he should know better. I don’t understand this insistence that Walt is always smart and rational and right. His ego regularly makes him say and do stupid, reckless things. Luck has played as much of a role in his survival as his intelligence.
Walt actually did sacrifice his business for Jesse many times starting with continuing working with him when gus didn't want him and him crashing the 2 gang members with a car to save Jesse
Walt's classic car is a Pontiac Aztek. Not only is Pontiac no longer in business, so they're no longer made, but the Aztek was also considered one of the worst, ugliest cars ever designed as I recall. Vince chose it as Walt's car to add to how pathetic he seemed at the beginning of the series.
They seem to forget that at one point Skyler was all in on this, she could just leave or tell the police but doesn't, but I guess a woman is always forgiven and a man never is
This is classic victim blaming and it's laughable you're calling sexism here, of all times, on this show. Skyler never wanted to be involved in any of this. Yes, she did get involved, she is not perfect, she tried to make the most of her terrible situation and try to pull it all back together in probably the wrong way, but she's very much stuck in an abusive relationship and has tried to leave unsuccessfully multiple times. She also acknowledges that she has broken the law and done wrong things, and she's continuing to try to make things as safe as possible and figure out a way out without getting her family killed by going to the police. So, yeah, I'd say she is more deserving of "forgiveness" here and that has nothing to do with anyone's gender. "Forgiveness" in quotes, because I don't think Maple or Arianna are actually trying to argue that Skyler has done nothing wrong, so I'm not even sure what you're referring to...? Are you just angry that they're pointing out toxic masculinity in this show?
@@Sephalia While Skyler is in a difficult situation, she isn't just a victim. She actively participates in laundering money and benefits from Walt's crimes. Her attempts to get out are complicated by her own moral compromises. While it's true she's not entirely to blame, she's not innocent of anything either.
It’s funny when people say this as if they would have liked Skyler more if she had actually gone through with the divorce and tried to turn him into the cops. They would have haaaated that because that means she’s a rat who betrayed her husband and is trying to spoil his fun, and we can’t have that! Let’s be real - the manbaby segment of the fandom wanted her to be ride-or-die from the very beginning while remaining silent and not getting involved. Anything other than passive support makes her a b*tch.
@@Slythe01 Oh get off it. I saw how people reacted to her before she got involved in the money laundering. They hated her when she was suspicious of Walt when he was sneaking around and lying to her for weeks, and they hated her when she found out what he was doing and tried to get him out of the house. Yes she should have turned him in, but the fandom still would have hated her for it. Yes she deserves to be convicted of money laundering, but that’s not the point I’m making. Walt is celebrated for being a criminal, but she gets derided. It’s ridiculous, and for you to claim that “a woman is always forgiven” is even more ridiculous considering Skyler White has been one of the most consistently hated characters in television history.
super recommend listening to some of the director/creators commentaries once you finish the show; the one for this episode features director rian johnson and their discussion of the episode and dynamic between everyone (anna gunn [skyler], rj mitte [jr.], sam catlin [writer]) is so funny
@@John_Locke_108 Yeah, a highly critically acclaimed movie which made billions of dollars. The only people who hate it are basement dwelling neckbeards who think the original trilogy has GREAT acting. Oh he also made Ozymandia, highest rates episode of a television series ever.
Walt's original vehicle is a Pontiac Aztek. It was made during the early 2000s and mocked relentlessly for it's looks. One of the heavily advertised factory packages you could add was a tent that you could pop open out of the back of the vehicle.
She wasnt the only one in Madrigal doing this and Gus has the ability to make others feel safe. Now that Lydia is on her own and the operation of Gus blew up, this all feels "real".
11:49 I wonder if this is partly here to represent how Skyler feels. "Really dark days", "Too scared or too angry", "I just wanted to quit", Walt mentions the bathroom tiles feeling "nice and cool" right as Skyler's staring at the water, and she enters the pool right as Walt says "it was too hard. I just wanted it stopped." It definitely seems like the writers are telling us Skyler's inner thoughts using Walt's monologue.
I've been hate-watching these 2 for a while now. But I think I figured it out. They just hate Bryan Cranston as a person. It's the only possible explanation. A lot of shitty people doing shitty things in this show and Walter is the only one they have a problem with. Mike said he was going to kill Lydia and they didn't react. But when Jesse asked Walter to weigh in, they sarted freaking out because they assumed he would tell Mike to do it.
Having recently got into watches, this is the first time I noticed that Jesse gifted Walt a Monaco - a watch that is forever linked to Steve McQueen, who died of lung cancer. The ending with the watch has taken on a new meaning for me. Coincidental? Probably. But I'm pretty sure the showrunners intended that. Beautiful stuff.
I feel like the reactors are playing out their issues with people in their lives through Walt. Of course he is an asshole, but man they go crazy over it
The way Walt is able to delude himself is on a whole other level! He can do a series of horrible things, his wife can despise him to the point where she’s longing for his death and yet he still has the audacity to insist that he’s still a good person “providing for his family!” The way he tries to gaslight people around him into living in his own world is just unfathomable!
The new car issue is one that even the biggest Walter Stan back in the day recognized was F’d up. I appreciated that in the writing. Show how parents sometimes have to eat shit from their kids for things that are the other parents fault
30:33 By the way that's not what toxic positivity is. Toxic positivity is when someone is telling you not to be upset and to "just be happy" when you _are_ upset.
The Walt apologists are driving me insane. Walt. Is. Trash. He demands anyone close to him gives up on objective reality, and threatens anyone who resists, with no limits on his retribution or vindictiveness. There is no more destructive a personality type than his. He is poison.
I do appreciate the female perspective on this story. I've just been trying to figure out why there is such a huge gender disconnect with Walt. And I think I figured it out. I think men appreciate Walt a lot more for having made it to the top of a dangerous "game" and the brilliance in how he ended up getting there. Yes, we do realize he had to give up parts of his soul to achieve his dream. And this turned him into a monster at home. But there is no denying his mastermind genius. And I think that's why men respect Walt more than women. I've been in that game and to start from the bottom & get to the LEGIT top like a Walt is stuff of legends. It's a one in a billion. And we enjoy seeing Walt do the things most of us could never & seeing the cost those things take on him. It's like seeing how bad could we break? For me, I'm out at Jane. I wouldn't have an issue with 8Ball (what's his name, dude locked up in the basement) & Tuco. But I couldn't do that to Jane. I'd save her life & make sure she knew that and use it to my advantage. I'd be like, I could've let you die just now. But here's your blackmail money & a new lease on life so use it to get out of my mine & if I see you again with another blackmail attempt I will not hesitate to disappear you & I'll do it with a clear conscience. And maybe that's where I fuck up in the game. A loose end that rats me out down the road or something. Gets caught up in Cali 5 years later & facing a year in prison but says "hey, let me go and I'll tell you who is behind that blue meth". But at least I maintained part of my soul & can live with my actions.
Maybe I'm a sociopath but when I first watched this show I was rooting for Walt until the end but y'all hated him from the beginning. On my second watch through it was more obvious to me that Walt's irredeemable
You're not. It is brilliant writing, just as Walt slips in little by little, we are dragged along with him.... Until you get the realisation..... Wait.... Are we the bad guys?
Like the girls, I also picked up pretty early on that Walt was the bad guy. But his character was awesome. There are two different types of reactions to that. 1) Choose to root for him anyways, because his character is awesome, and his decisions are what drive the show, or 2) hate on him with every fiber of your being. To me, 1) was by far more enjoyable. To see where the show would turn next because of his ego and his decisions. I guess I never realized others watched it and thought he was supposed to be the good guy. I just assumed everyone realized he was a s*** human being by season 2, but figured people would root for him anyways.
Seems like most of the fan base overlooks Walt as a murderous gaslighting egomaniac. Skylar takes a tremendous amount of shit for doing nothing but being lied to and manipulated by her husband
Walt gets worse as the show goes on and he becomes more powerful - but it's absolutely hilarious how they seem to pin *all* the blame on him and absolve Skylar of any blame. Skylar was complicit in Walt's dealings since the start, she even contributed ideas and solutions which he used to get around problems, and she even acted illegally on her own accord to act on other things - look at the whole thing with Ted and how his life is fucked now. Not to mention she literally cheated on Walt way before all this lmao. Also it's hilarious how they seem to constantly act he's some dumbass who can't understand things lmao. The show clearly portrays him as an underachieving genius (albeit one with a big ego), who regularly outwits and outthinks his enemies. It's wild how they appear to be completely missing the point with him. Walter White is regularly mentioned as one of the greatest TV characters ever, and yet they talk about him like he's some one-dimensional dumbass.
She cheated on him after he admitted he was a drug dealer lol I say that's pretty fair. She didn't even know he had already killed people by then. Why do people always pretend like her cheating is sooo bad in a show about dealing drugs, killing people.
@@olijfolie7591 The point is she ain't just some innocent housewife who had the wool pulled over her eyes. She's been getting her hands dirty in this business from very early on
Maybe the icon you love is being perceived differently? Maybe what makes him iconic is horrific? If he was like this at his job, sure. I could appreciate him as a cool crime boss. But he's crime boss heisenberg in the bedroom? No thanks, yucky.
It's hard to feel sympathy for skyler ,when she CHOSE to stay with walt and launder his money,all she had to do was sign the divorce papers after walter signed them,but instead chooses not to because she didn't want to tear the family apart,i mean at least family could have been safe and away from walt.
yea it's really hard to feel sympathy for a woman who was intimidated very slowly into sharing a home with a violent man of whom she is deeply afraid, who made some bad decisions because she was clininging on to having loved him once and because she didn't want to ruin the life of her blameless teenage son. idk how anyone could feel sympathy for her. really difficult stuff.
@coffinflop OK I get that but it's still frustrating because she literally banged ted to get Walter to sign the papers and when she gets that chance to sign it,she chooses not to,her lawyer even said that if she divorces him ,then an investigation could have taken place and have Walter arrested.
19:40 arianna seething like "this is the worst part" lmao All the crime and murder was wrong, sure, but in this scene he's demonstrably right; and thats something a woman can never forgive you for 😅
Skylar was always Walt's foil, in uncovering his lies, creating tension, doing things to drive him back to the business, and politically she was so anti-drug the show writers could avoid having the legalization debate. She was a basic, boring, annoying Karen who was always in the way and the people wonder why she's so hated? The show writers built up sympathy for Walt at the beginning, but made no effort to make her likeable. I feel sorry for in this season but she's only in this situation because of her lack of decisiveness. In the beginning Skylar had all the power now she has none of it, and up until S5 it felt like the power was the only thing she really mourned losing. She never cared about Walt, (he doesn't care about her either, they are a total mismatch, did they only marry because she got pregnant?) because she would rather cheat than simply go to her son and tell him the truth. He put the money on the floor told her no one was looking for it(no partners, no rivals, no cops) and she took that as a declaration of war? Accept the money and tell him he's done enough or tell your son the truth. Walt is way more indecisive, but he must continue now to make up for his mistakes.
I don't like Skyler but that line about waiting for the cancer to come back is her finest moment. I forgot that was from this episode. It brings me joy everytime I rewatch the show and hear her say it. Goddamn is Walt a monster.

this episode is the moment when Skyler White became the baby from the album cover of Nirvana's, "Nevermind"
@@SidPhoenix2211 ha!!
I always saw the season 4 Cartel Kingpin was that album cover
Then looked at the camera and quipped "Now that's how we Nevermind, baby!"
I think Walt's personality can be summarized with 'control'. He has not been in control of his life for most of it, and now he feels like he is. People have used him, manipulated him, ignored him, looked down on him, etc. His wife, his son, his employer(s), his brother-in-law, his friends, his business partners, his students, basically everyone he ever met. Either in real life, or just in his head.
I think that has festered in him, and when he got diagnosed he wanted to have some actual control for once, and that was to control his family would be taken care of after he died. But that opened the door to him being in control of more and more. Turned out he was really good at something a lot of people would pay him a lot of money for. And with money comes power, and power is control.
He's not stupid, at all. He's the smartest guy in the room basically every time. But he's not just his intelligence, he's also his insecurity, his ego, his need to control, his fear of going back to who he was, etc. That's where the dumb decisions come from. But if you look at it through the lens of 'control', it does always make sense WHY he does it.
Anna Gunn won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress, for her performance in this episode.
She earned it and deserved so much more considering how this fandom treated her.
Brilliant performance. Her character was someone you could empathize with.
the scene where Skyler says she’s “waiting for the cancer to come back” is one of the most underrated scenes in the show. it gives me chills everytime. shit is amazing.
Walt refuses to admit his family's in danger because it would mean admitting to himself that he CAN'T "have it all." He wants to believe he can be the badass crime boss with a global empire AND also be the wholesome family man with the perfect normal home life. So any suggestion that home life is being compromised is like being told "you failed, you're wrong." And his current ego cannot accept that.
No. I don't think that's it. I think Walt equates the two together. Being a badass crime boss IS being a wholesome family man with the perfect normal life. If you don't have the 2nd, you're not really achieving the first. I think he sees confidence and comfortability as signs of truly being at the top.
The title stems from the fact that this is the 51st turning point of the show.
Definitely not Walt's 51st birthday
51st turning point, 51st birthday, 51-50 - ironically its the 50th episode

@@sangfroidian5451 Women bad
Hey-O, pool party!
Wow the length these two go to to find reasons to hate Walt. The scene of Mike wanting to go kill Lydia tells you all you need to know, they go “Oh he's gonna put his tiny hat on and say SLAY THE WOMAN” Walter doesn’t want him to kill her they go “he’s an idiot!”. So no matter what Walt was gonna say they was gonna find a reason to hate him.
And it’s funny Mike is the one proposing to go kill Lydia and they don’t even react cause it’s only Walt they judge, they just sit there waiting for Walt to say or do something so they can pounce and rant about it. Meanwhile other characters do just as heinous stuff and they don't get mad about any of it, Mike can kill whoever, Lydia a mother of a young daughter whos scared and they don't even care, but if Walt was doing it they would be flying off the handle saying he's disgusting.
They’re almost unbearable at this point with how they just rant about Walt every single scene he’s in.
because mike calmly states his point of view and walt goes on a ego rant about how this train won’t stop, that’s what makes walt an idiot they literally say this in the video you clearly didn’t watch, but you’ve been in the comment section repeating this over and over, genius move.
Next time, watch the show, surprisingly the show called breaking bad is about a character breaking bad, walt is evil.
People like you are just mad your fav daddy isn’t liked by everyone, maybe find a father figure to look up to.
@@thatonediodude4904 Maybe read my response moron, where i clearly said no one has issue with them not liking Walt, but them bitching about every single thing he does and going on rants whenever he so much as breathes the wrong way.
And i love how you say they have no issue with Mike wanting to kill Lydia cause he "Calmly states his point of view", yeah sure buddy that totally makes all the difference in the world and makes it fine to want to go kill this woman. If Walt stated his opinion calmly on wanting to kill Lydia they'd rant about it all the same and you know they would.
@@thatonediodude4904 "Because Mike Calmly states his point of view" ok you're just blindly defending them i see. He still wants to kill Lydia and they was ready to pounce and rant thinking Walt was gonna agree to it, didn't matter if he calmly agreed to it and explained his reasoning or not they was gonna rage on him.
And its nuts i have to keep repeating this, but no one is mad they don't like Walt, people are annoyed they explode into a rant with every single thing Walt does, every opinion he has, every word practically that comes out of his mouth. I've seen tons of others react to this show and not do that, its literally just them that go on these lengthy rants with every thing his character does. Hate him all you want but ffs we don't need the constant whining about his actions, they need to accept thats who he is in the show and not act outraged every time he does something bad in a show called Breaking Bad.
And i have to keep repeating myself because people like you need to have it explained to you.
@@SAMCRO_89 walt just does a lot of shitty things and people logically call that out, they only got on walt because he literally just said one of the most unhinged lines from him in the entire show, you would know this if you actually watched the show.
Do you want them to celebrate when he poisons kids because you don’t like it when people say bad things are bad?
Getting worked up about a character isn’t a bad thing, it means that you like the show enough that even a hateable character grabs your attention and makes you react, it’s called a reaction video afterall, you’re just mad that they dislike a character you like, and I get it I was 12 once to but nowadays I tend to not mind it when someone doesn’t like my favorite fictional meth man.
You just want them to sit there blindly going “oh there’s walt doing his thing”, you don’t want any discussion on walt’s morals and how he effects the people around him because you can’t handle an opposing opinion on a fictional character, and to top it off you’re watching a form of content where the entire point is hearing opposing opinions….

walt is egotistical, conceited, deluded, self centered......but please remember he signed the divorce papers. skyler chose not to file them and inserted herself into the scheme. she has no one to blame but herself
While this is true, the fandom’s reaction to her speaks volumes. They absolutely despised her when she was doing the ethical thing and working against him, but even when she switches gears and starts to help him, they still despise her because now she’s a hypocrite. Walt is praised for becoming a criminal. She gets insulted for becoming a criminal. Meanwhile Walt is also a hypocrite because he insists he’s a loving family man even though he’s actively putting his family in danger.

This show painstakingly shows you the reasons for Walt's bruised yet massive ego, his bitterness and resentment that he carries around with him, his desperation to be remembered and recognised, his general feeling for so long that life dealt him a shit hand, and how ultimately all of that (plus the cancer diagnosis) caused a neutron bomb level explosion inside of him that he has been riding ever since.
And yet you guys say that you don't get his behaviour 😆.
I'm not saying for a second that Walter is a good person; he categorically isn't. But he is painfully human and the show tells you everything you need to know to understand why he does what he does; not matter how frustrating it is at times.
You say you felt bad for Kendall for being the product of his environment. Well Walt is the product of what has happened to him.
I think they’ve just hopped on the hate train instead of the “let’s watch this bad person in this bad situation” train
Well but it is also mostly caused by himself. He choose to leave gretchen, work as a teacher etc. Not saying that he still is not a victim, but it is important that his life is the results of his own actions.
@@mappes1 yes there are plenty of choices he makes that are solely his responsibility. But they are still rooted in his make-up as a person, something he has very little choice in. He left Gretchen because of his feelings of inferiority around her family and their wealth. This inferiority complex is clearly another part of Walt’s make-up that has haunted him his entire life. That alone doesn’t make me hate him. We all feel inferior sometimes; it’s a common human experience. It makes me pity him really. It’s only when combined with all of these other things I mentioned that you have the perfect dangerous recipe for ‘Hisenberg’
@@mappes1 Walt isn't a victim!
@@wanbawmcgraw3022 i mean but at what point are his complexes turning him into an evil person? A husband who is plagued by an inferioritycomplex and feeling inadequate for his wife is to pity - but if he starts to systematically terrorize his wife because of it, the pity is done, and the person is just evil, no matter where it stems from. Same for walter Walt is an adult being with a high intelligence amd has every capacity to reflect on himself if he wants to, he is not insane. he chooses to throw the pity party for himself and terrorize basically his surroundings and the world at large (i mean, he directly produces crystal meth for people to get addicted on and kills a ton of people and threatems his wife).
At some point, the pity is gone and the excuse is gone, too. Many people who do terrible things were voctims at some point in their lives. It does not excuse what they did. It explains it, but it does not excuse it
For people who repeatedly claim not to understand Walt, they are awfully quick to make blanket assertions about his character, and grossly inaccurate predictions about his actions....
I was a bit baffled at the scene about the kids... "Why does he want to stop Skyler from sending the kids away, just because he want to be the man?"
Huh, no? Because he's a father and they're his kids?
One could definitely argue that it's not safe and that Skyler is right, but it's still obvious why Walter disagrees, and it's not about him being an egomaniac or anything...
@@newpgaston6891 Are you serious? Of course it’s about him being an egomaniac. He disagrees with the idea of his children being in danger because he’s an egomaniac lmao
@@artistfloor9 Two things can be true at once. Yes he’s an egomaniac who wants to be in control but he also loves his children and doesn’t want them gone
@@comeatmebro8120 I never said he doesn’t feel love for his children. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s dumb and egotistical to deny that he’s been putting them in danger from the very start and creating his own drug empire isn’t going to keep them safe.
Understand from what they know now at this point in the series. Most feel this way at this point
These reactions are fascinating, after 5 seasons these 2 still haven't figured out that Walter has been controlling everything and everybody 🔥
I watch you guys react to a bunch of shit. Love watching yall. But man the Walt hate is really starting to wear me down lol i get it. But its soooo strong. Its like, we know what the joker is. We dont hate on his wild behavior. We just sit back and enjoy the show. Same mentality should apply to walt at this point lol
exactly!
No doubt! I was thinking the same thing. I also think they're not enjoying the show as much because they keep trying to predict what's gonna happen next, and as we all know, BB is probably one of the most UNPREDICTABLE shows ever. Sometimes you just gotta sit back and enjoy the show...
Just 10 more episodes! Can't wait for them to keep talking over the show and not even understand the phone call.

If you hate someone for X thing and you also hate him for the opposite of X thing that's not just "not drinking the kool aid", that's blind hatred and trying to find faults in everything he does.
Same thing with the kid situation... Of course Skyler is right to want them out of the this, but acting surprised that Walter doesn't want to send them away, questionining why he "wants to be the man".. What? Its his kid... What parent wouldn't want to keep his kids? That's not "trying to be the man", that's just being a father.
@@comeatmebro8120 This. Most see his bad side. But like me, they still either root for him, or love his character because it's what drives the show. For some reason, others think that means we believe Walt is in the right or the good guy here. No.
They've recorded the ending of the show at this point; so while im not posting atraight up spoilers, i think it's fine to talk about the future episodes in abstract.
The fact that walter gets worse and worse, the shows point is that yes, he's the villain and a monster who ruins everything around him, and that multiple characters make bad choices and are selfish etc. means that this overwhelming dismissal of walts talents or capabilities is counterproductive. If therr was the slightest acknowledgment of Walt's talents or capabilities, if there was the slightest acknowledgment that most people in this show make bad choices and succumb to some form of greed or pride, if there wasnt a continuing need to elevate other TERRIBLE people up morally as if they didnt also engage in the same behavior that Walt does, then there could be an honest accountig that YES walt is the ultimate villain and the fact that he outstrips the evil of other characters is terrifying, but instead weve got to dismiss the possibility that Walt has any talents, give props to mass murderers for being "reasanoble businessmen" and actively diminish Walt's evil within the story by denying that he had motivations other than pride for various actions. I guess whatever it tales to post-hoc rationalize our feelings rather than take a story for what it is.
That was a Pontiac Aztec. And the scene after he sold it was an obvious Dodge/Chrysler commercial.
When Walt calls out all her ideas back to back just dissecting them is impressive but damn it’s rough 😂 however he wasn’t wrong about beneke he was correct

You serious? No prize? He put his entire family in serious jeopardy all for his own ego. Walt was the "homewrecker" the minute he decided his pride was more important then his family's safety.

His ego has led him to think he can keep everything smooth at home while running his meth business. It's ridiculous, of course, but that's his character at this point.

Not quite the same as the satisfying competence and self-awareness of how Gus indulged his villain side :) I am going to keep enjoying them tearing their hair out at Walt's attitude about everything in this final season, since it's really the point of the show now!
If he didn't treat Skylar like nothing changed, if he recognized her terror of the situation, and empathized this would have gone so much better. But he still thinks he's Heisenberg when at home. Smh
Moreso perplexed that he doesnt understand why Skyler is not thrilled. But hey, any criticism or making fun of Walt has been met with outraged comments episode after episode, so maybe this is not about the reactors doing something wrong but about them not liking Walt.
@@alexarias5717 If he recognised any of that he wouldn't have come this far! He's a loose cannon. Has been since the moment he began this journey.

That's what I'm saying
Once again it IS walts fault since the beginning and these all HIS choices but skyler had the immediate easy chance to divorce him and passed and herself stayed in this situation of her own volition.
No mention of that doe.
Skyler could have stayed at Hank and Maries with her kids, not slept with Ted to keep her paycheck and then found her own place like the other bajillion women who have done the same thing.
Aw. They're so unfair. Poor Walt.
That's true but she's kinda gone too far now, like she can't go back OBVIOUSLY. But I'm sure she regrets it. She underestimated just how ambitious Walt was for power and glory because Walt always played it down like he was just an employee. And now it terrifies her.

Why?
Is it because they’re not simping for Walt? 😂
I don't understand the disconnect. Sure, when Tucco kidnapped him, they were in danger. When cartel assassins were after him, they were in danger. When Gus was actively trying to replace him, they were in danger. But, they're all dead. Walt won. There's literally nobody standing against him. Hank is close, but he's always been kinda close. Relatively speaking, they're in the least amount of danger they've ever been in. How is Walt dumb for feeling safe at the moment?
To tag onto your "camping with bears analogy," you're basically arguing never to go camping again. But, what's the problem? You've got your bear repellant (Mike). You've been told all the bears are in hibernation (all rivals are dead). So, why? Fear of the unknown. So, never drive, again? Driving's dangerous. Anything *could* happen. Right?
No. The only dumb thing was not taking Mike's advice. Then again, seems like Walt came up with a convincing idea. Y'all gotta give Walt more leeway. Can't just keep dismissing everything he does cause you hate him. He's trying to make big moves. Let him cook.
It’s stupid of him to think that he “won” and therefore he’s safe. He’s faced violence from the moment he started cooking. His family has been under constant threat. It should be obvious to him that brutality is inherent to the drug world, and it’s not going to go away. Gus couldn’t escape the violence even though he had been meticulously building his business for years. Does he think there won’t be other competitors out for blood? Does he think the cartels simply don’t exist anymore now that the Salamancas are gone? If he’s such an intelligent guy, he should know better. I don’t understand this insistence that Walt is always smart and rational and right. His ego regularly makes him say and do stupid, reckless things. Luck has played as much of a role in his survival as his intelligence.
You absolute idiot.
Are you seriously too stupid to understand why its idiotic to think you're safe when all that has happened to you lmfao
Your reactions are so funny like Walt is real and you hate him so much 😂
You - she doesn’t like you
Me - so she can leave
2:00 they cannot even enjoy a small fun montage from all the hate they have in themselves
Skyler's trauma was genuine and palpable. You could really feel for her.💯
Walt actually did sacrifice his business for Jesse many times starting with continuing working with him when gus didn't want him and him crashing the 2 gang members with a car to save Jesse
It's all about ego with walt
The stark contrast of when Walt walks in the door on his 51st birthday compared to the celebration he comes home to in the pilot.
21:30 I forgot how funny that delivery is.
Walt's classic car is a Pontiac Aztek. Not only is Pontiac no longer in business, so they're no longer made, but the Aztek was also considered one of the worst, ugliest cars ever designed as I recall. Vince chose it as Walt's car to add to how pathetic he seemed at the beginning of the series.
They seem to forget that at one point Skyler was all in on this, she could just leave or tell the police but doesn't, but I guess a woman is always forgiven and a man never is
This is classic victim blaming and it's laughable you're calling sexism here, of all times, on this show. Skyler never wanted to be involved in any of this. Yes, she did get involved, she is not perfect, she tried to make the most of her terrible situation and try to pull it all back together in probably the wrong way, but she's very much stuck in an abusive relationship and has tried to leave unsuccessfully multiple times. She also acknowledges that she has broken the law and done wrong things, and she's continuing to try to make things as safe as possible and figure out a way out without getting her family killed by going to the police. So, yeah, I'd say she is more deserving of "forgiveness" here and that has nothing to do with anyone's gender.
"Forgiveness" in quotes, because I don't think Maple or Arianna are actually trying to argue that Skyler has done nothing wrong, so I'm not even sure what you're referring to...? Are you just angry that they're pointing out toxic masculinity in this show?
@@Sephalia While Skyler is in a difficult situation, she isn't just a victim. She actively participates in laundering money and benefits from Walt's crimes. Her attempts to get out are complicated by her own moral compromises. While it's true she's not entirely to blame, she's not innocent of anything either.
It’s funny when people say this as if they would have liked Skyler more if she had actually gone through with the divorce and tried to turn him into the cops. They would have haaaated that because that means she’s a rat who betrayed her husband and is trying to spoil his fun, and we can’t have that! Let’s be real - the manbaby segment of the fandom wanted her to be ride-or-die from the very beginning while remaining silent and not getting involved. Anything other than passive support makes her a b*tch.
@@artistfloor9 No, no it doesn't at all. She would've done the right thing, but thanks for telling other people what they think and would've done.
@@Slythe01 Oh get off it. I saw how people reacted to her before she got involved in the money laundering. They hated her when she was suspicious of Walt when he was sneaking around and lying to her for weeks, and they hated her when she found out what he was doing and tried to get him out of the house.
Yes she should have turned him in, but the fandom still would have hated her for it. Yes she deserves to be convicted of money laundering, but that’s not the point I’m making. Walt is celebrated for being a criminal, but she gets derided. It’s ridiculous, and for you to claim that “a woman is always forgiven” is even more ridiculous considering Skyler White has been one of the most consistently hated characters in television history.
I always enjoy your reactions ladies , but once and awhile can you pause the video to talk. You miss so much important dialogue sometimes
That's my main annoyance with the walt hate at this point. They get so worked up they either stop paying attention or talk over key dialogue.
Idk why the hate Walter so mush And always support skyler like tf
super recommend listening to some of the director/creators commentaries once you finish the show; the one for this episode features director rian johnson and their discussion of the episode and dynamic between everyone (anna gunn [skyler], rj mitte [jr.], sam catlin [writer]) is so funny
Is that the guy who barfed out The Last Jedi?
@@John_Locke_108 Yeah, a highly critically acclaimed movie which made billions of dollars. The only people who hate it are basement dwelling neckbeards who think the original trilogy has GREAT acting.
Oh he also made Ozymandia, highest rates episode of a television series ever.
@@the_crypter Wow. Just wow. That was a lot beautiful bullcrap you just spewed.
@@John_Locke_108 Yeah no worries, I am just over morons whining about it for years.
Maple had her coffee today😂😂😂😂😂
Walt's original vehicle is a Pontiac Aztek. It was made during the early 2000s and mocked relentlessly for it's looks. One of the heavily advertised factory packages you could add was a tent that you could pop open out of the back of the vehicle.
How does someone like Lydia get involved in organized crime, when she seems to have crippling anxiety about potentially getting caught?
because she's greedy 🤷♀
She’s hot she can do and sell what she wants
To be fair, Lydia used to be protected by Gus and Schuler from the inside. Now she's basically alone inside Madrigal.
🤑🤑🤑🤑
She wasnt the only one in Madrigal doing this and Gus has the ability to make others feel safe. Now that Lydia is on her own and the operation of Gus blew up, this all feels "real".
the bear analogy at the end doesnt work because walter sees himself as a bear. why would he watch out for bears.
11:49 I wonder if this is partly here to represent how Skyler feels. "Really dark days", "Too scared or too angry", "I just wanted to quit", Walt mentions the bathroom tiles feeling "nice and cool" right as Skyler's staring at the water, and she enters the pool right as Walt says "it was too hard. I just wanted it stopped." It definitely seems like the writers are telling us Skyler's inner thoughts using Walt's monologue.
The title of the reaction to this series should be "We are smarter, watch us talk ourselves into it the whole time"
🤣 That is fucking hilarious! The cackling is bit much... I agree
Pride. That's all there is to understand.
I've been hate-watching these 2 for a while now. But I think I figured it out. They just hate Bryan Cranston as a person. It's the only possible explanation.
A lot of shitty people doing shitty things in this show and Walter is the only one they have a problem with.
Mike said he was going to kill Lydia and they didn't react. But when Jesse asked Walter to weigh in, they sarted freaking out because they assumed he would tell Mike to do it.
I cannot wait until television's most awkward dinner scene
Having recently got into watches, this is the first time I noticed that Jesse gifted Walt a Monaco - a watch that is forever linked to Steve McQueen, who died of lung cancer. The ending with the watch has taken on a new meaning for me. Coincidental? Probably. But I'm pretty sure the showrunners intended that. Beautiful stuff.
I feel like the reactors are playing out their issues with people in their lives through Walt. Of course he is an asshole, but man they go crazy over it
The way Walt is able to delude himself is on a whole other level! He can do a series of horrible things, his wife can despise him to the point where she’s longing for his death and yet he still has the audacity to insist that he’s still a good person “providing for his family!”
The way he tries to gaslight people around him into living in his own world is just unfathomable!
This series took place back before anyone knew you could put your ringer on silent
This is the point when show really turned. Bravo, Waltuh.
Skyler smoking is her trying to get the cancer to come back; she's so vicious I love it
It hurts me that you guys hate Walt so much that you can’t fully enjoy the acting and the show as a whole
It's crazy that anyone can criticize Skylar. The amount of ride-or-die inside her is insane
Pontiac Aztec. One of the first crossovers.
@@TheGreat_Kramer1 Also one of the ugliest cars ever made.
“Ruh Ro” is actually what Astro says,it’s commonly attributed to Scooby though. Adult stoners know these things well😜
Skyler's situation just breaks my heart😢 she is so desperate. Meanwhile Walts ego fueled delusion is in full swing, bro thinks he's invincible lol
The last trace of the "Walt" persona went away when he sold his car.
Lydia so fine bro
"You are NOT Kevin Costner."
Never seen bigger Skylar fans in my life 😂😂😂
11:37
The _c u r s e d_ pool calls…
I like it that you guys aren’t taken in by Walt’s BS. Seen too many act like he’s cool and competent.
Y’all are the most over the top analytical trolls of people that ‘have never seen this’ 🤦♂️
The new car issue is one that even the biggest Walter Stan back in the day recognized was F’d up.
I appreciated that in the writing. Show how parents sometimes have to eat shit from their kids for things that are the other parents fault
30:33 By the way that's not what toxic positivity is. Toxic positivity is when someone is telling you not to be upset and to "just be happy" when you _are_ upset.
The Walt apologists are driving me insane. Walt. Is. Trash. He demands anyone close to him gives up on objective reality, and threatens anyone who resists, with no limits on his retribution or vindictiveness. There is no more destructive a personality type than his. He is poison.
I do appreciate the female perspective on this story. I've just been trying to figure out why there is such a huge gender disconnect with Walt. And I think I figured it out. I think men appreciate Walt a lot more for having made it to the top of a dangerous "game" and the brilliance in how he ended up getting there.
Yes, we do realize he had to give up parts of his soul to achieve his dream. And this turned him into a monster at home. But there is no denying his mastermind genius. And I think that's why men respect Walt more than women.
I've been in that game and to start from the bottom & get to the LEGIT top like a Walt is stuff of legends. It's a one in a billion. And we enjoy seeing Walt do the things most of us could never & seeing the cost those things take on him. It's like seeing how bad could we break? For me, I'm out at Jane. I wouldn't have an issue with 8Ball (what's his name, dude locked up in the basement) & Tuco. But I couldn't do that to Jane. I'd save her life & make sure she knew that and use it to my advantage. I'd be like, I could've let you die just now. But here's your blackmail money & a new lease on life so use it to get out of my mine & if I see you again with another blackmail attempt I will not hesitate to disappear you & I'll do it with a clear conscience.
And maybe that's where I fuck up in the game. A loose end that rats me out down the road or something. Gets caught up in Cali 5 years later & facing a year in prison but says "hey, let me go and I'll tell you who is behind that blue meth". But at least I maintained part of my soul & can live with my actions.
Maybe I'm a sociopath but when I first watched this show I was rooting for Walt until the end but y'all hated him from the beginning. On my second watch through it was more obvious to me that Walt's irredeemable
You're not. It is brilliant writing, just as Walt slips in little by little, we are dragged along with him.... Until you get the realisation..... Wait.... Are we the bad guys?
Nah they started to dislike walt during s2. They just picked uo early up on walts flaw.
Like the girls, I also picked up pretty early on that Walt was the bad guy. But his character was awesome. There are two different types of reactions to that. 1) Choose to root for him anyways, because his character is awesome, and his decisions are what drive the show, or 2) hate on him with every fiber of your being.
To me, 1) was by far more enjoyable. To see where the show would turn next because of his ego and his decisions.
I guess I never realized others watched it and thought he was supposed to be the good guy. I just assumed everyone realized he was a s*** human being by season 2, but figured people would root for him anyways.
Seems like most of the fan base overlooks Walt as a murderous gaslighting egomaniac. Skylar takes a tremendous amount of shit for doing nothing but being lied to and manipulated by her husband
@@mappes1 it was the moment he attempted some rough sex and accidentally hit her head on the fridge
Walt gets worse as the show goes on and he becomes more powerful - but it's absolutely hilarious how they seem to pin *all* the blame on him and absolve Skylar of any blame.
Skylar was complicit in Walt's dealings since the start, she even contributed ideas and solutions which he used to get around problems, and she even acted illegally on her own accord to act on other things - look at the whole thing with Ted and how his life is fucked now. Not to mention she literally cheated on Walt way before all this lmao.
Also it's hilarious how they seem to constantly act he's some dumbass who can't understand things lmao. The show clearly portrays him as an underachieving genius (albeit one with a big ego), who regularly outwits and outthinks his enemies. It's wild how they appear to be completely missing the point with him. Walter White is regularly mentioned as one of the greatest TV characters ever, and yet they talk about him like he's some one-dimensional dumbass.
She cheated on him after he admitted he was a drug dealer lol I say that's pretty fair. She didn't even know he had already killed people by then. Why do people always pretend like her cheating is sooo bad in a show about dealing drugs, killing people.
@@olijfolie7591 The point is she ain't just some innocent housewife who had the wool pulled over her eyes. She's been getting her hands dirty in this business from very early on
Well, not quite since the start...but, she's been complicit for several months, even doing some illegal things herself.
Maybe the icon you love is being perceived differently? Maybe what makes him iconic is horrific? If he was like this at his job, sure. I could appreciate him as a cool crime boss. But he's crime boss heisenberg in the bedroom? No thanks, yucky.
@@Shrewdy1 no it wasnt "early on," were you blind to the first 3 seasons. plus she knows she's culpable now, at least she has the balls to admit it
Maple’s never seen an Aztec, I feel old
It's hard to feel sympathy for skyler ,when she CHOSE to stay with walt and launder his money,all she had to do was sign the divorce papers after walter signed them,but instead chooses not to because she didn't want to tear the family apart,i mean at least family could have been safe and away from walt.
yea it's really hard to feel sympathy for a woman who was intimidated very slowly into sharing a home with a violent man of whom she is deeply afraid, who made some bad decisions because she was clininging on to having loved him once and because she didn't want to ruin the life of her blameless teenage son. idk how anyone could feel sympathy for her. really difficult stuff.
@coffinflop OK I get that but it's still frustrating because she literally banged ted to get Walter to sign the papers and when she gets that chance to sign it,she chooses not to,her lawyer even said that if she divorces him ,then an investigation could have taken place and have Walter arrested.
@foxandeagle6790 but if she'd done that, yall would hate her more lol
The car is a pontiac Aztek it was such a POS that it was only made for 4 years before it was cancelled.
While the Pontiac Aztek may not be the prettiest car, they had some pretty cool features.
19:40 arianna seething like "this is the worst part" lmao
All the crime and murder was wrong, sure, but in this scene he's demonstrably right; and thats something a woman can never forgive you for 😅
"couple months back when you hit that deer" hmmmm
Google translate says that Chinese word on the barrel is "bee". Lol
10+ years later and I'm still learning new things. Awesome haha
You two and the Perfect Mix are pretty much neck and neck in finishing up season five.
I love that just like Skylar, these chicks shut up everytime Walt shows the money 😂😂😂
Skylar was always Walt's foil, in uncovering his lies, creating tension, doing things to drive him back to the business, and politically she was so anti-drug the show writers could avoid having the legalization debate. She was a basic, boring, annoying Karen who was always in the way and the people wonder why she's so hated? The show writers built up sympathy for Walt at the beginning, but made no effort to make her likeable. I feel sorry for in this season but she's only in this situation because of her lack of decisiveness. In the beginning Skylar had all the power now she has none of it, and up until S5 it felt like the power was the only thing she really mourned losing. She never cared about Walt, (he doesn't care about her either, they are a total mismatch, did they only marry because she got pregnant?) because she would rather cheat than simply go to her son and tell him the truth. He put the money on the floor told her no one was looking for it(no partners, no rivals, no cops) and she took that as a declaration of war? Accept the money and tell him he's done enough or tell your son the truth. Walt is way more indecisive, but he must continue now to make up for his mistakes.
This
Better Call Saul; they’re going to love that show. I like Breaking Bad but Better Call Saul was my show.
24:38 🤔 Let’s be sure to remember that prediction Maple.
I don't like Skyler but that line about waiting for the cancer to come back is her finest moment. I forgot that was from this episode. It brings me joy everytime I rewatch the show and hear her say it. Goddamn is Walt a monster.
