With 3 other people being pitched as damaged super-geniuses of their own you'd think for a second the episode would focus on one of them rather then Walter but no, every single episode is always "Walter is so great and saves the day" and the others are minor contributions that Walter condescendingly pats on the back for their help.

God, show Walter is such a prick even to kids. "There's no such thing luck, small child. Make sure to be as pedantic and literal as possible" and when the baseball dad just tries to be friendly Walter shits all over him for being an idiot and then mocks him later with "He's an adolescent, he plays a game for a living!" Like, this show takes absolutely every chance for Walter to rant about how much better "we" are then regular people and normal people's lifestyles, jobs, and hobbies are a joke. I'm amazed this show is as popular as it is, because where as BBT is funny nerds being nerds this show takes every chance to mock and insult regular people.

Real!Walter sure is working through all anger he has against normals, jocks, romantics, and everyone else who ever made fun of him and he wasn't able to spout off a witty retort that everyone stood up and applauded. He's either a writer or he pitches a bunch of stuff that may or may not have happened wink-wink and the writing staff just goes along with it because otherwise a hugely fat man berates them about how much of a genius he is and how they aren't smart enough to comprehend his "real" stories.
