Walter White is one of TV's best written characters, he is also a massive piece of **** who is consumed by his own ego and criminal aspirations, and loses everything and everyone because of it, leaving a trail of misery and destruction behind him.Yes some people don't understand the point of certain films like Scarface, Tony Montana loses everything that is most important in life: his sister, his best friend, and his life, but all people remember is his financial success and his ascension into the world of crime.
But I ask if it was necessary to make a 200 million film to explain that...
Was Phillips afraid of a new John Warnock, the guy who thought he was Travis from Taxi Driver and who tried to kill Reagan on top of his obsession with Jodie Foster.
Yet people love him.
That didn't force Vince Gilligan to go out of his way and destroy that character because people liked him. Would Breaking Bad be remembered as fondly as it is now, had it ended with Walter White getting raped in prison, crying in trial saying he's just a loser and not Heisenberg and then shanked by a random inmate? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no.
