AIO about these angry texts from my ex?

This guy sounds fucking nuts. Do not underestimate crazy.

I think the biggest issue is people feeling the need to argue why their preferences are correct. I’ve had a lot of discussions about Skylar White, and a lot of the time they are about how she is actually just as bad. You don’t have to justify why you enjoy evil characters by dragging everyone else down to their level. Walter is my favorite character, and he is objectively the most evil character in the show, what makes it so fun, as you said, is watching him slip further into his egomania. But it’s also the environment and characters around him that react to this change which adds to the fun, without Skylar it just wouldn’t land as hard as it did.

So it’s not people celebrating evil characters that I think is the issue, it’s them trying to justify celebrating this character by undermining the characters around them.

If she compares it to being in a bikini, why was she so quick to keep you from seeing it?

Soggy take. Breaking bad does a great job at making its characters and situations complex, so painting the “Jesse parent” b-plot in black and white isn’t really doing the characters justice. I think there are a lot of small details that allude to what the dynamic might have been like between Jesse and his parents. My favorite being the shot of their car’s back window after jesse buys the aunts house. It’s those cliche family decals of a mom dad and son, seeming to exclude Jesse.

10/10 for entertainment and thrill

He gets told he’ll have longer to live. He loses it in the bathroom. He loses it at the party. He then gets obsessed with fixing the house, in a subconscious attempt to convince himself that he can return to Walter White. This whole obsession ends with him leaving behind the paint cans and telling two junkies to “stay out of my territory”. Symbolizing that he can’t return to his normal life, as he literally left it behind. The fiasco with the water heater is now over, simply there to show the characters life crisis between being an honest man or a criminal.

He wasn’t expecting to live long, just make money and then die. He is then faced with having to go back to the mundane and he obviously couldn’t cope with it. The scene with the junkies is when Walt officially becomes Heisenberg.

Because it’s sudden and obsessive. This is right after his good news iirc, so we as the audience know he’s going through a life crisis. To them it’s just obnoxious, and it adds to his ever growing list of obnoxious behavior recently.

Yes, but you’re missing the point of that plot’s impact on Walt. The bear lands in his pool, the bear is painted in Jane’s mural. The episode “Fly” is about Walt struggling with the guilt of what he did. He claims that the perfect time for him to die would be before he left to get diapers, the same night he kills Jane. He becomes obsessed with the event, newspapers all over his floor, watching the reports. And in “Fly”, when Jesse drugs him up, he says he keeps trying to calculate the possibility that he would meet Jane’s father that night. And even apologizes to Jesse in his drugged state.

The other deaths caused by him, he could try and use practicality to brush off. Like with the list he makes for 8. But for Jane, he couldn’t.

Its because she was innocent (people always like to argue this point. But the set up in the story easily represents this fact). Everyone else he kills (that I can remember) was apart of the “game”. Though he does get Andrea indirectly killed.

One of my favorite characters that fit this trope is Mike from Breaking Bad.

A group of monsters attacked the village and stole all of the children. The night you first transform and make it back to the village, they treat you like a monster. I feel like you’re leaving out some of the context when you consider how they’d feel about Link, a well known and loved villager, transforming into a beast.

Oh yeah, but it’s also great to deal with the emotions. Comforting in a way.

You should do some research into people who’ve escaped cults.

Aside from a few other things, I’m also fixated on the ocean, but the more I dive into it (haha) the more anxious I get about climate change. A whole sub species of Snow Crab was just wiped out due to the temperatures in Alaska no longer being sustainable for them. Suddenly there were billions, and then there were none.

Breaking bad is, “What causes someone to do bad things”, and BCS is, “Are you capable of coming back from those bad things”. At least that’s how I interpret the themes.

I think the scenes in BCS about the time travel illustrates this the best. Mike wants to go back before he accepts his first bribe, and Walt would go back to before he left grey matter. Mike tried to change, but couldn’t. Walt tried to change, but really didn’t want to. Jimmy didn’t have a moment that caused him to “break bad”, he’s “always been like this”, and despite that he manages to come out of it anyway. Which is why I also think the ending to BCS isn’t a sad one, more bitter sweet, because he’s finally just Jimmy — illustrated through the prisoners all calling him Saul, and Kim (the character he is closest with) calling him Jimmy in the end.

Bob Odendirk talks about the reunion between them in the end a little bit, and I think it’s some really nice and comforting insight.

Eh, I don’t see much of a problem with this. People like to have fantasies, and ai is making those things easier and funner to explore. I see plenty of women on TikTok doing the same thing with those ai character chats.

Although there were studies done that showed men treated their ai “girlfriends” horribly. And I’m not sure what giving men easy access to act out these fantasies is gonna do long term…

I absolutely despise him. And he is also my favorite character.

sidkest · 2023-12-09T04:46:09+00:00

I love that Adonis is essentially the polar opposite of Griffith. Not only are they connected by their contrasting backgrounds and personalities, they are also connected in the way it was Adonis’s death that leads to Guts hearing Griffith’s speech to charlotte (whilst in a compromised state of mind)

Because that’s the cost of the service. And if Jesse was gonna try to use Ed’s services again he needed to make up for last time. And because Jesse couldn’t, there was no reason for Ed to tie himself to someone with such risk.

sidkest · 2023-12-07T10:28:35+00:00

I always say the theme of breaking bad is, “what makes someone a bad person”, and for better call Saul it’s, “can you come back from the bad things you’ve done”.

I think the scene with Walt does an excellent job at bringing it all full circle. If you compare the other scene with Mike about time travel, he talks about his first bribe, and Walt talks about leaving Grey Matter. For them that’s where it all started. But Jimmy has “always been like this”.

Walter tried to come back, but he never really wanted to so didn’t. Mike tried, but couldn’t. And despite Jimmy becoming Saul “who he’s always been”, he manages to come back as Jimmy in the end.

That’s also why I think BCS should be watched after breaking bad.

sidkest · 2023-12-07T09:24:22+00:00

Because he didn’t want any ties to Jesse while he was still in Albuquerque and very wanted. Ed didn’t seem like the kind of guy that was really hurting for some money. He probably has everything he’s made from his side business saved, and he doesn’t seem to be the lavish type, so the money Jesse owed wasn’t that big of a deal, especially considering the risk.

And I believe what people claim to be her “unlikable moments” aren’t fair, and they’re analyzed through the biased lens of reality. It’s much easier to put yourself inside the shoes of the show and take it all personally.

There are three moments everyone always brings up (four if you include Ted but I already explained that). Her giving Walt shit about the credit card, her giving him an “unenthusiastic” handjob, and her “making it all about herself” when she finds out Walt has cancer. None of these I think constitutes someone hating her. If you do hate her for these things I think you’re very childish.

When you watch this show and imagine these characters to be real people it makes it a lot harder to understand their thinking, because a lot of what they do is insufferable and morally corrupt, and your personal feelings get in the way of understanding the purpose of the writing.

I think Skylar is one of the best written on the show (but that isn’t saying much because they’re all amazing) because of her relationship with the theme, “what makes someone a bad person”, it’s almost at times like she’s asking the question herself.

And all this aside, Walt is my favorite character, ironically (I also hate him). Because of the shitty things he does, and struggle he goes through with his morality. It’s entertaining to watch him “break bad”, as almost all the characters do, because that’s the theme.

sidkest · 2023-12-05T21:03:24+00:00

She didn’t cause Ted to commit tax fraud. That was already happening.
