Bullshit. He is just a man who lost to his gigantic ego, put his family in danger, murdered people in cold blood, got a family member killed, destroyed multiple lives. And all of that because he was too proud to be with a woman that was richer than him. Stop acting like Walt is some kind of hero. He is the main antagonist - not Gus, not Tuco but Walter. Walter White was a truly pathetic man. A failure, even when he tried escaping being a failure.
@@williamrussel4444at the start he was definitely afraid of not accomplishing what he wanted in life. That's why he refused Elliots grey matter job offer. He only feared for his family once Gus threatened them, and that didn't last long.
There is no righting his wrongs, it’s well, well beyond that. You can’t right IRREPARABLE wrongs. In Hanks death the character of Walt is irredeemable. The life-changing If not life-ending l destruction reigned upon absolutely EVERYONE WALT ever associated with from the pilot on is incapable of correction. From Jesse all the way down to characters as insignificant as Ted, Combo, Krazy 8, and back up to ones like Mike, Skyler, Gus, Hank. Good or bad innocent or guilty EVERY.SINGLE.CHARACTERS. life (if living) is WORSE, RUINED, or OVER for having even been around Walt. Even those on the fringes. Not 1 character with any actual relevance to the show itself life will EVER be the same. The utter devastation as a direct result of Walt’s actions will negatively impact several generations long after he’s gone. Think Holly, jr, Jesse, Lydia’s daughter and their kids (assuming they have them). Again you can’t fix something that was annihilated, decimated, and irreparably broken. But damn it this was the closer you’d probably ever come.
@@hutchphilpot6870 forgive me for preaching, but in Alma 40: 13 it says: And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil-for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord; for behold, they chose evil works rather than good; therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them, and take possession of their house-and these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil. 14 Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they remain in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection.
This version of Walt(Mr Lambert) was basically the best, no pride, no ego, knowing what he did to his family and everyone around him.Just wanted to give his family the money, and then get revenge on Hank.Maybe sad how he dies, but even if he lived he would be jailed, and if he doesn't, he has no-one.Everybody either hates him or isn't alive, so basically, death was the best thing he could get after doing 2 things he wanted...
He has his ego That's why when he went to the bar And saw the heads of Gray matter talking shit about him and saying that he is gone his Heisenberg personality kicked in like: yeah am not done yet I still have 1 more job to do before I go He just couldn't handle people lying about him on TV
@@thatwasawesomedude8883 Yes but would you be happy about people talking shit about you?That is not really ego.I mean that is some kind of ego, but not the toxic one.He always had some kind of ego, but at this point it was the lowest, and not so toxic one.
@@0902_ yea but he could've stayed in New Hampshire and disappear until things cool down then figure out a way to get the money back to his family but instead he went back to ABQ to take revenge I would be mad if someone talked about me on TV but if I was on the run I would just lay low for now until things cool down then take revenge But yet again he was gonna die from cancer sooner or later
The was he says "I liked it" is so incredibly well done, because you can really hear in his voice how much he did like it and why he just couldn't stop even after technically getting enough money for his family. What started as a man who tried to support his family even after his death, turned into something Walter did with a passion and something he didn't feel overqualified or annoyed for. It's ironic how he must have finally felt alive for real for the first time just after getting diagnosed cancer.
Theres a weird satisfaction because we've all been there in one way or another. To finally put your skills and knowledge into something you've dedicated years of effort into, so satisfying. Minus the part getting alot of pekple killed whilst in the process, but still.
@@handsomesquidward5160 There's an interesting nuance to it. It's not about how skilled you really are, it's about Walter's impostor syndrome. He was a good chemist, but it was only when becoming Heisenberg, that he could let himself believe that he was a respectable, skillfull man. It's about his subjective *perceived* worth and skill, not the objective one. That's worth more than anything, pretty essential for being happy.
@@mushudamaschin2608 And there's the crux of the issue; a lack of self worth. Walt was dealt a raw hand by life, shit cirucumstances regarding the founding of a financially successful company, a cancer diagnosois, a job he just simply doesn't feel fulfilled in, and most of all, he just doesn't feel loved or appreciated. We have all been there; obviously this is a piece of fiction, but I wouldn't be too surprised if a lot of criminal activity in regards to drug trafficking/production is down to relatively similar circumstances like this: cancer excluded, as that is obviously a device to give the show a timeframe.
No, it was an ego trip from start to finish. If any of it was for his family he would have taken Elliot's offer to pay for his treatment, and likely could have had a succesful career at Gray Matter since they still respected him as a chemist and never even seemed to have wanted to cut him out like Walt percieves in the first place. Instead, he couldn't handle accepting charity, HE had to be the one to pay for his treatment and take care of his family, so he started his downward spiral into the meth business.
Are we forgetting how Walt tried to kill himself in the first episode but the gun jammed? It’s so ironic when he makes that fake confession tape for Hank and Marie “I’ve contemplated suicide many times but I’m a coward”. He’s the ultimate coward.
After seeing the man that caused all of the most horrific tragedies in his life, losing his girlfriend, having his step-nephew killed, being kept alive and tortured by psychopaths ... Jesse still doesn't pull the trigger. Jesse started a wreckless brat, but he ended the show as the only one whose soul hasn't been corrupted in the end. This is one of the most incredible characters of all time, masterfully delivered by Aaron.
Jessie seen he was injured and knew he wouldn’t survive, that’s why he didn’t shoot him, in my opinion I feel like he would of killed him if he wasn’t injured
Jesse noticed that Walt was bleeding so he probably wanted him to slowly die by bleeding to death rather than having a quick ending by a gunshot. Even if he wouldn't have died from bleeding, he'd still die from the cancer while being in a jail alone knowing everyone he ever loved hates him.
1:26 I love the subtle foreshadowing of Walter's eventual death hinted by the license plates that read "LIVE FREE OR DIE." An astute way to summarize his mindset as he neared the end of the road.
This is when it all makes sense. This is a man that was spit on most of his life yet craved respect. Once he tasted it, the last thing he was going to do was lose it again. His ego and pride blinded him the whole time explaining a lot of the mistakes he made
The Wire is the only competition imo I met “Omar” and “Spiros” in person two weeks apart a few years back-both happened to walk into the liquor store I was working and I talked to both of them for a while. MKW passed away about a year later
When Walt tells Skylar that he did it for himself you can literally see the weight drop off her shoulders as she has been waiting to hear it and he finally stopped lying to her
Man I still dont like her. Because at the beginning when he did it for the family, she still wouldn't accept it as an answer. Marie, on the other hand, is a keeper. RIP Hank 🤧
@@SlentVceHis former colleagues would have paid for all his treatments easily and offered him a much more lucrative life in the company. It was entirely his selfish ego that got him in the business of making meth.
@@camdavis9362 not only the ego of of just wanting to do it. It was also pride, he wanted to achieve something in his boring life. he wanted to make his family live a luxerious life beecause of him.
Man this show means so much to me. Not only is it just simply one of the best television series created but I had the pleasure of sharing it with my best friend before he passed. When the new seasons of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were first airing we would rush home from band practice to watch. Lost him just a couple weeks before season 4 of Better Call Saul aired, never got to finish the show with him. Can’t see a single thing about BB or BCS without thinking of him. Miss you every damn day brother
Most likely because big companies are more concerened about making money than making a good story, so they will make many titles with the purpose of making lots of money rather than making fewer titles and making them, you know, good. Once in a purple moon you'll get really good filmmakers like vince gilligan that just want to tell a story and will put as much effort into it as possible, but for the forseeable future there will be a lot more bad shows than good shows.
Eventho I don't personally cook meth, but I can see the darkness Walt came into. No emotions, no feelings, you don't feel nothing. Still wanting to make things right. This serie was a complete masterpiece and it brought a lot of joy in my own life. He wasn't a bad guy, he just couldn't take the pressure anymore.
Breaking Bad was a once in a life time show, I doubt there will ever be anything else like it for a very long time. If you haven't watched the show words couldn't describe just how badly you should should. Masterpiece.

I love so much that with his final act of life, Walter decided to give Jesse what he had been pretending to give him the entire time they worked together: the unconditional love of a father
I like how most of the scenes in BB don't have any music. One thing that it's the scene on it's own that makes the job, but in the other hand it's like Vince knew people would make edits of them in the future
That phone call to the skylar when he knew the cops were on the phone really showed the depth of Walts character. He displayed himself as an abusive criminal husband to set her free. Rare for writers to have this kind of depth these days.
did u notice that Jesse's first ever kill which he wanted was Tod like after seeing the world and being with HEISENBERG for a year had changed him by a lot he didnt cry like he did for gale Jesse has changed
You are correct, Jesse did change. However, Gale, although not COMPLETELY innocent, was nowhere near as cold as Todd. Todd had the ruthlessness of a killer but the aloofness of a child, treating the death of a child by his hand as if it were walking your dog. All in all, Jesse went through a huge change
@@ninjaguyYT Good point, Gale didn’t take joy in being told that he would replace Walter, but he was affiliated with one of the most dangerous criminal kingpins in the series. However, he is probably one of, if not the most innocent characters in the show
@@Nemesis_skream i mean thats your opinion but i think Walt is incomparably more evil than saul is. I loved him as a character but as a human being he is the one of the most deplorable human beings in the show. He even admits to skylar he was only ever out for himself in the end.
That opening scene applies to life I swear We all want to make excuses to our family to the jobs we love or want to do, and it hurts to be honest But sometimes, it’s all you can do.
I dont know if this applies to jobs. At least to the majority. I dont know what kinda work you do, but most of us literally work just because we have to.
As a Breaking Bad fan I LOVE THIS EDIT I felt so sad when walter died at the end All that they had done to do their business their friendship and how it ended at the end.
To everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus. To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. To everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. To everyone who is creating, you got this. Your art is amazing. Remain in your flow and get stuff done! To everyone who is struggling, you got this. I'm so proud of you for making it this far and I wanna see you make it farther, so do it for me please, and if not for me atleast do it for them. there is someone out there who obsesses over you, they might just be too shy to say it
This makes no sense. If he didn't believe she would think he would hurt them why go through all the shenanigans? He knew she would believe him even before he got there. That's why he made this threat. Otherwise his plan on how to give his money to his family would be completely illogical.
I wouldn’t say walt redeemed himself, but he ended most of his realationships atleast somewhat well,he finally told skyler the truth about how he liked cooking,he freed Jesse and protected him from the bullets,and he’s making sure that the money is going to his family
I'm still left empty after the ending. I want more. I can't get enough of the show even though it's been over for years. I feel like it's not done yet, but when you think about his life before the end, you realize there's nothing left. So do I. The end is inevitable and I know that but I still wasn't ready for the show to end. I still can't get over it. I wanted the best for Walt but I guess this is it. This show is timeless and it forever will be. Thank you Vince Gilligan, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and everyone else on/off the show who have worked on it. Thank you for bringing this masterpiece into my life.
Heck no, I liked this show because it knew how to go from beginning to end. No unnecessary seasons that expands nothing on the characters, no filler episodes that serves no purpose to the plot, NOTHING that you see with series that have lost its charm like The Walking Dead, Money Heist, etc for the solely reason to milk money and ruin a good serie. Vince Gilligan knew how to start, develop, and end his masterpiece. If you want more breaking bad then watch Better Call Saul, since it it happens before, during and after Breaking Bad's ending. People like you is the reason good shows get worse seasons by the time goes on, the Director did what he wanted, there's nothing left to solve for BB. I respect Breaking bad for not becoming like The walking dead and actually finishing its story on a good note.
@@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565 I 100% agree with you, it's just that losing the ability to watch and enjoy such a good show got to me when I was writing this comment. I'm left thirsty for more but I know there's nothing else to do (at least nothing that won't ruin the show as you said) In the end, you're right. I guess I'm just selfish because of the joy and fascination I got from the show. Thanks for this reply though, I'm glad I was able to express myself more clearly. Thanks for your time, again.
Bro I spoiled myself by watching clips on RU-vid, but it still feels impactful since my broke ass can’t afford anything but I realized that the show has rewatch ability because I kept on watching the same clips over and over again. I am still amped on buying it on RU-vid
The first time I watched BB, I didn't make it to the finale and actually got bored right before the climax of the whole show, but the second time I watched it, I realized just how much I missed out on. Him admitting why he did it just tied everything together perfectly.
This is an incredible edit and I can't thank you enough for your time and effort making this. My favorite line at the end "Then do it yourself." gives me chills to this day.
the best tv show ever made. Walter was his own undoing and the ending was just seeing the amount of damage hes done and coming to that realization. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to see what you've really lost.
3:33 Reckon those two are technically responsible for everything? Cuz if they didn't screw Walt over before the show started, he prolly would've been a wealthy man living with his family. Though Jesse prolly would've OD'd or something given that Walter wouldn't do everything
The next Vince Gilligan production has to be in 4:3 ratio. Breaking Bad looks great in it, and the feel of the ratio just seems like it’d fit perfectly with his shows.
i was young when i fell in love with the walking dead and quickly binged it all in one sitting i later discovered multiple other shows made by amc so i decided to give breaking bad a watch. against my better judgement this has got to be the greatest shows i have ever watched
I love this show so much and its whole universe. It is the BEST entertainment I have experienced in my whole life. Incredible story, good length just enough to allow you to connect to these characters and watch them develop and short enough that it doesn't drag with filler episodes, masterpiece characters, setting, fantastic music choices. This is literally the only show where after I finished watching it, a week later I wanted to watch it again! it's rare for me to want to watch or play something again when i've already experienced it so soon.
I make it my goal to watch this every time I see it in my recommended. It's such a treat to watch I end up seeing it sometimes multiple times in one week. Absolutely love it.
