I first watched it during University years, and I was very much of the camp that was doing the vicariously living through the power fantasy of Walt’s rise to power and the bitch wife and crying jessie ruining it for him.
I recently, like a year ago as a 31+ year old rewatched it again, and jesus christ what a top to bottom egoistic selfish asshole Walt is, all I did is feel sorry for Skyler and Jessie.
I think knowing where it's going makes a big difference. Like, first time in going in blind Walt is a sympathetic for the first bit, and for most of the story is dealing with the unintended consequences of raising funds for his treatment. Knowing where it's going it's a lot easier to see him in a lot worse light earlier in the story.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Nah man, Walt makes some egregiously selfish and egotistical calls even in season 1. For an obvious one, he turns down his old friend's money, money they say is effectively Walt's, just so he can rub his own ego even more. Then he goes on to use them as an excuse for where the money is coming from.
He robs his own school of supplies, too. There are many, many many selfish piece of shit things Walt does. From the start.
He also starts off being a judgemental piece of shit to Jessie even while he's trying to use him to do the same shit he's judging Jessie for.
Walt is purely a piece of shit that kind of sort of starts to redeem himself after he already created the whole mess to begin with.

Lol I love that it's a harrier jet. Someone should edit this to be that missing Malaysian airliner

i watched it all and it was so shit i lost faith in humanity because of how popular it was
That says more about you than you'd ever care to admit.

Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.
Those who loved it, and those who haven't watched much or any of it.
My ex got me into it, and she's kind of.... Well, shes not brilliant. So I didn't take her recommendations too seriously most of the time (I really don't enjoy Teen Mom or 90 day fiance or 600lb life). But this? This show hooked me. It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits, but it's fun even with a bit of knowledge cause it starts with something being "technically correct." It's well written more than anything.
I started watching breaking bad but got bored of it and dropped it
It's not healthy to force yourself to watch a TV show if you get bored of it even if it's popular

lol yeah it says i don't like subplots that go fucking nowhere and are immediately dropped like they never happened. or that i like satisfying endings to story arcs. or that I prefer things to have meaning rather than happen randomly for no reason. or that I think you should take less than 5 seasons to tell a story that's at best one season's worth. care to admit? lmao like it has some moral value. it's just a bland ass series with mediocre and inconsistent writing carried by amazing actors.

CP77.
Its really not that hard to abbreviate Cyberpunk 2077.
Not sure that's any better.
-
Good god I hope that tweet's fake cause if not, that person obviously doesn't proofread stuff lol. also Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever and you should give it a watch
If I like the Anime version of it enough, I'll actually try Bb. I honestly never gave it a fair shot because of how controversial it was.

They made a sequel and kept going??

Enough time progressed and it's just normal porn now.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]do you even understand the words you're saying? I'm telling you they're fumbling story arcs over multiple episodes and you think that means I have bad attention span? do you know what any of that means?
the writers had bad attention span, not me. they kept forgetting and abandoning their own shit all the time. seems like you were too busy getting distracted by shit to realize that.
same with media literacy. I'm saying they kept adding random shit without any meaning or purpose and you say that's bad media literacy.
so enlighten us mr media literacy man, what was the point of the stupid fucking twins

I stole this from Instagram but you dont know that
also I've never seen breaking bad, is it good?
When was cyberpunk controversial?

When was cyberpunk controversial?
at launch, it was really buggy. people in Lemmy tend to hold one hell of a grudge for some reason

Season 4 is the best one in my opinion.
Edit: Overall, Better Call Saul is much better than Breaking Bad.
Bruh. Better call saul was so boring. I got bored of Chuck of whatever his name is and the electricity phobia thing. Legal drsma is so borinh.
The Drug Trade is why Breaking Bad was fun and exciting, especially done by an amateur schoolteacher and not some hardened criminal.

I finished up to season 4, wondering when it was supposed to get good. I know there's a lot of hype around it, but I guess it just wasn't for me.
I am baffled by your opinion here, can I ask... what was another show, or season of a show that, in your opinion, did 'get good'?

If you have a 1% error rate in tweets, even if you proofread that's still a .01% chance to make a mistake. With the volume of tweets it shouldn't surprise you that some people make mistakes even if they proofread.

Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually. I try, but my specialty is breadth, not depth.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family's shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]... You are saying you find the idea of someone being very reckless and engaging in very risky behavior, for the thrill of the whole thing, to feel more alive than just going through the mundane motions of an average and safe life, to feel powerful, to prove to themselves that they can do something remarkable and be exceptional...
You find this stupid and unrealistic?
Like, I'll give you that the science of the show has flaws, but like... it is at least fairly within the ballpark for most things, decently detailed with a lot of other things... like, the FCC is not going to let you air a show that provides detailed, accurate instructions on how to cook meth or make a thermite bomb/lance, lol.
But... I don't get how you find the concept of people being motivated by ... whatever in particular it is, to do dangerous things... is stupid an unrealistic. This happens tens of millions of times, every day.
The entire point of Walt breaking bad is that... yeah, he had a taste of all that violent and dangerous shit... and he liked it.
At one point, I think the last time he sees his wife, Skyler, Skyler basically asks him why he did all this insane shit... and Walt more or less says, I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm not gonna bs you... "I was good at it."
His normal life was unfullfilling to him, constantly being disrespected and belittled, not feeling fulfilled by what he had... and he found and chose a path that granted him the validation and respect he felt he never had.
Yep, that destroyed him and his family and many other people in the end.
The whole show is thus a cautionary tale, that even an otherwise meek, intelligent, and generally respectable man can repress much of his true nature, and that if this isn't consciously addressed and reconciled responsibly, in a healthy way... it can manifest as a transformation into an entirely different person, with different fundamental values and goals.
Walt is basically a midlife crisis gone nuclear, a giant episode of toxic masculinity bursting forth, a man's repressed shadow self (if you're into Jung) subsuming and transforming him into a monster.

You can declare what ever you want. It doesn't make you correct.

When was cyberpunk controversial?
If you mean the game it still is because the developers lied to people to sell more while making an image they are the complete opposite.
If you mean the meme it's probably because Cyberpunk abbreviation is the same as child porn.
