How does one miss the point so hard? it's naive to say that BB doesn't indulge that audience by including frequent moments when walter is being BadAss as hell. it's set up so you can enjoy it as a power fantasy or a character study, depending on which kind of consumer you identify as

How does one miss the point so hard? the fans of television or what? what was the point we missed? where someone would become a monster to protect his family. Or, that we were all always horrible mosters anyway so who loving cares. Grow up

Recently rewatched, it’s ok but if you know the big plot twists a lot of the fun is gone. Could have been a season shorter, definitely could have done with less focus on Marie’s shoplifting habits or the excessive Jesse Must Suffer episodes. Better Call Saul is better, they seem to have the overall story figured out and Kim and Lalo own.

It was supposed to be a season shorter and then the suits at AMC stepped in and said, "lol between BB and Walking Dead money we are not going to allow you to do that," so then they had to pad out a 5th Saul is definitely more fully-formed, though, it doesn't have that play-by-ear poo poo going on that stuff like BB was sorta guilty of and Lost based its entire premise on. Kinda makes sense BB would have some of that floating around, though, Gilligan was an X-Files writer and they pioneered the overarching-story-with-no-direction format. Also it's pretty funny/weird seeing the locations they use on the show if you live in ABQ. The exterior of the apartment Jesse's girlfriend ODs in is an apartment my dead-from-an-OD friend used to sell heroin and crack out of, right off Buena Vista. Stuff that's supposed to be on the east side obviously being on the west side, etc. MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Jan 8, 2022 |

I liked Breaking Bad when I binged it on Netflix like a year or two after the show ended. Doubt I'll ever watch it again though. The last couple seasons of Saul are better at the Breaking Bad stuff than Breaking Bad was.

Walt rapes his pregnant wife in the first few episodes and I put down the show and never came back. It was clear how the show was gonna go from there, just the cheapest string-pulling bullshit. I hate that poo poo, using 'casual' rape to build character development. And it's amazing to me how often the show comes up and people either blow over that ('it was to show he's already too far gone!' or some BS), or worse, didn't register it as/ didn't even realize it was rape

The scene where walt shoots dope to stop from puking up his cancer meds and end up puking all over his naked balls while hes replacing the water heater and then wakes up to the dog licking puke off his balls really turned me off to the show. The CGI of the dog just wasnt believable and really took me out of it.

Maturity is going from thinking Breaking Bad is "The Best Contemporary Drama" to realizing that actually "The Wire" is the best contemporary drama (except for season 2). And then finally realizing that actually The Wire S2 is in fact one of the best seasons is when you've truly matured.

i tried to watch it with a friend and we made it less than half way through the first season before giving up. i've been fooled too many times by the "it starts out rough, but it gets better in the 2nd season" lie, and i'm not gonna fall for it anymore.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:the fans of television or what? The point where Walter feels like life has passed him by, how he feels middling and emasculated, and how he has a huge ego that must be stroked which is actually the core motivation with the cancer thing and helping his family as a fig leaf. They made this explicit in one of the first episodes. It leads him onto a foolish adventure at first and eventually villainy and downfall. He has a long road to realize he never did anything for his family but it's made apparent to the viewer early on.

Cafe Barbarian posted:McNulty is a bad character and performance I thought he was acted well enough considering hes a fancy englishman playing a drunk american cop. I think "idealistic cop" archetypes, even imperfect, have aged badly since the show was released. The whole killer storyline turned me off to his character and is one of the weaker points if the show.

Televesion is a degenerate art form--Hamlet is the greatest character in literature and you get about 3 hours of him. But Walter White is supposed to be interesting for 100? Lol.

This is true. But it's better than the Wire. As are tons and tons of shows. The Wire is the best crime drama that takes place in Baltimore, though.

TheScuta 6.66 posted:Walt is no "crime lord" at any stage of the show. He never has any serious loyal muscle behind him -- basically just paid hitters and his dipshit ex student. He's a dork who happens to have a highly marketable skill in the criminal underworld. He stumbles around in his neckbeard quality hat and gets incredibly lucky that he isn't killed every 3-4 episodes. Yeah thats kinda what breaking bad is about OP. its a good show. walt is an idiot that keeps biting off more than he can chew and its enjoyable because of that. I fully agree about Mike though. He should have killed Walt the many times he had a reason/opportunity to.
