Walter White was always an egotistical rear end in a top hat playing a nice guy though, the cancer just revealed who he really was. Its funny because from Better Call Saul you get the opposite sense, that Jimmy was always fundamentally a decent guy who just keeps on loving up and finally breaks out of spite

Sorry to bring r/TheRightCantMeme stuff here, but this one made me laugh. This one I like because, even bashing the low-hanging fruit of Joe loving Biden, the right can't meme. The obvious warping of "Teach a man to fish", filtered through Joe Biden's soup of a brain brain, is "Listen, Jack, ya teach a man to fish. So he... he has summa the fish then. Then... Ah, heck, I'm sorry, man, I didn't mean to say that..."

was he? he was willing to die to spare his family from destitution, he was a well liked and respected teacher, his former research partners (who he had a falling out with) still liked him enough to want to hang out and offer to cover his treatment, he was a very good good father and husband (and brother in law). nobody from his life had a bad word to say about him. I don’t think your reading is supported by what the show actually portrayed. the realization that in order to finance his survival on his own terms he had to become the joker seems to be what broke his brain

yeah wasn’t the whole falling out with his former partners driven at least somewhat by his perfectionist tendencies with chemistry? that same ego-centered perfectionist trait comes out in him again when he’s realized he’s the greatest meth cook ever, he likes being the best and being able to do his work his way.

that... that’s what dignity is, that ability to respect yourself. he didn’t want his literal life to be indebted to someone else, be it banks or his old friends. I don’t think that’s particularly egotistical.

e: and even then he relented on it and was willing to suck it up until he chanced upon a way to make money on his own. giving up control over his own life to others is what spun him out to become an evil piece of poo poo

he doomed dozens, maybe hundreds. of people to a violent death and destroyed his own family because he was too proud to take money from his rich friends. dude was always a piece of poo poo, he was just to put upon to capitalize on it

walter white even spells it out for the audience in the final episode. he didnt do what he did for his family or whatever, he did it because being a badass meth kingpin made him feel good. he wasnt a TOTAL hypocrite, as evidenced by the fact that he was willing to give everything up to save hank, but ultimately everything he did was purely self serving

Walter White obviously isn’t what I’d call self aware so idk why I should take his word on things lol. also all the stuff you said happened after he decided to give up on what he wanted and accept money from his friends/loans. he tried that, it’s not like he didn’t do it. he just realized he couldn’t live with that decision - which, as I said, is why he wanted to die in the first place! he didn’t do anything “bad” until after that realization, and in fact we’re shown (not told by an unreliable narrator) that everyone in his life up to that point would attest to his character

the entirety of the final episode is about walter white finally giving up all his lies and pretentions, and finally being honest with himself and everyone around him

walter white had a choice between swallowing his pride and spending his last years of life peacefully with his family, or doing things his own way, killings tons of innocents and destroying his own family in the process. the moral choice is very obvious.

maybe you should go and rewatch the show or something because you seem to have missed lots of things if you dont realize what walter was doing at the end

like the final episode is explicitly about god giving him a second chance to get out of hell and go correct all his lies and mistakes before he can die and ascend to heaven.

he was on a literal suicide mission to save his friend at the end. kind of throws a wrench in the “he was always an egotistical selfish rear end in a top hat” interpretation lol

do you think he acquired the mini gun and built a contraption that would be remotely operated to not save Jesse? maybe you need to watch the series again

This characer secretly pretended to be a good person until they were middle aged but was secretly planning to become a murderous drug kingpin all along proving that he was always a piece of poo poo. Humans can't develop into better or worse people based on circumstances and we are born with our evil and virtue carved upon our immortal souls.
