I'd appreciate it if you guys could do ark from the skeleton night it's one of my favorite izakai animes and it's only 12 hours so I think it's manageable comparative to stuff like this show or samurai Jack as two examples
The thing that makes Walter White's character developement so amazing is that, despite the memes, there is no *single moment* that turns him into Heisenberg Walter's fall is slow and incremental, like tectonic plates moving little by little. Only realising how much things have shifted once you look back to how it began In terms of D&D morality, he's definetly a chaotic neutral by the end if the series. Walter is willing to do anything, good or evil, so long as it aligns with his goals. But the fact that those goals can range from supporting his family, wanting to keep his friendship with Jesse or just his insatiable pride really makes it a lot more complicated
I don’t think he ever truly wanted to support his family or help Jesse. He wanted to be adored by his family, and he liked Jesse because their dynamic gave him power. He had Gale fired simply because they were equals and he couldn’t belittle Gale or play him the same way he could with Jesse. In my opinion, Walt didn’t become a worse person over the course of the show. By the time the show starts, all the things that turn him evil already happened-he loses out on a billion dollar company started by his closest old friends, he’s passed up by all his colleagues, and he’s stuck in a dreadfully monotonous, unfulfilling life where his potential is wasted. Walt is filled with the repressed anger and ego that fuels his villainy from the beginning. Becoming heisenberg doesn’t make him a worse person at heart, it just motivates him to act on the evil already inside him.
@@bropitz3514 If Walter White really didn't care about his family, he would have murdered Skyler on a number of occasions. Consider how Gus Fring would have dealt with such a wife.
Personally I feel like this one was very stirred, you'd take an entire episode of actions and toss it together in only one, Plus i feel like you've been veeeery kind on the judgment you gave overall
This, ain't no way poisoning a kid, gaslighting your partner into killing his boss, using your neighbor as bait against hitmen, and blowing up a retirement home is all one act of Neutral Evil
@@TheLoadingCrew ill point out, i agree with chaotic neutral at the very end of the series, like season 5 very end. but he should be HARD bridging evil, he creates crystals that kill people, he poisoned children, gaslighted his friends, refused to take treatments so he could continue doing his own, selfish, unhelpful goals that HURT his family more than helped them. hes BY FAR chaotic evil by the end of season 4, regardless if he killed an evil meth lord. he did it to BECOME an evil meth lord. hell, you literally said in the rick and morty video that taking drugs isnt evil, but dealing them is. and yet we pretty much forgot every time he did that for some reason? usually i agree with your points, but this ones really easy to find problems with.
i really think there is a big lack of evil dings here, walt did poison a kid, he was ok with using kids until jesse called him out, he let someone OD when he could saver her and probably fix his situation either way, he is making meth, he is a death dealer, everything he does is for self interest, even when helping his family and hank, it is also for himself
Great video! One small respectful dissagreement. "I am the one who knocks" should've been CE. Walt's words are extremely hollow, as he his VERY MUCH still in danger and does not have the power to 'be the one who knocks'. He is just trying to reaffirm his fragile masculinity and is blatantly intimidating his wife in the process and I'd argue, is getting a not insignificant amount of enjoyment out of making Skylar afraid. He wasn't trying to reassure her. I'd say intentionally intimidating your spouse qualifies as Chaotic Evil. Edit: On your take on toxic masculinity. I'd say you're half right. Yeah, it's not his ONLY flaw, but I'd also argue that what you say is his biggest flaw, his pride, and toxic masculinity, are really two sides of the same coin when it comes to Walt. Effectively, it boils down to the same thing thing though, so this is less of an argument and more of a philosophical "ummm... actually" Again, great video.
I disagree with a whole lot of your analysis but props for giving it a go. It's a testament to the quality of the writing that people can disagree on their interpretations of the characters.
What D&D alignment is Captain Qwark from Ratchet and Clank. This idea is something I actually want to see because in the earlier games Qwark’s morality was all over the place
Qwark is neutral evil, if I had to pick one. He never stops being a self obsessed jackass, he just makes some friends along the way. The fact that his villainy is so cartoonish and his character faults are played for laughs doesn't change the fact that he's still fundamentally a bad person who's only out for himself.
@@louthegiantcookie His character is that of a naturally self-absorbed person who when push comes to shove in truly dire situations, will choose to do the right thing. In his heart, he really does WANT to be a hero worthy of the praise- but his ego often leads him to ‘help’ villains in order to make his “heroics” appear more grand. He’s chaotic neutral.
I honestly can't see Walter White as anything other than Neutral Evil. He's taking advantage of people when he can easily get help just by swallowing his pride just one time. I personally see Braking Bad as a warped version of the American Dream. Walter White when from being a meek chemistry teacher that only expected mediocrity and instead pulled himself up by his bootstraps and became a successful business man/drug dealer.
@@asdasasdas3476 Season 5 is where he goes off the deep end with his obsession over building his own empire, so it very well could end up in chaotic evil territory.
I feel like suicide is always true neutral it’s the choice to end all choices and the discussion to stop doing anything, anything good or bad or chaotic or lawful and to be nothing
I don't think paying Jesse after the first batch or getting him into rehab can be considered good, since he did it out of self interest, as Jesse was an asset to him. I however don't think getting Jesse to fake Marie's hospitalization or to kill Gale can be considered evil since it's pure self preservation, and there's really no other way to get out of this, true neutral
For next December I want to suggest doing the best antagonist from the Inuyasha anime series, Naraku and Sesshomaru of course, Kikyo and Kagura are good candidates.
LOVE THE ANALYSIS! Breaking down character stories like this for sure gives you the chops to invent a story/character of your own. Ever think about writing?
Lovely Walter analysis, i heavily recommend you check Welcome to the NHK(the anime), and do an analysis of those characters, they are genuinely intriguing morally specially the main cast and they are one of the most realistic characters I've seen in any form of entertainment.
Lawful Evil. Walter White lives his life by strict rules, and expects others to abide by them. The penalty for crossing him is death. He isn't mentally erratic, nor is he a free spirit. He has obligations and duties that he tries to meet, but the chaotic environment he lives in and his own comfort with evil means to his ends frustrates his efforts at an orderly life. His sidekick, Jesse Pinkman, is chaotic neutral.
5:33 Blackmailing Jessie, by threatening to turn him in if he dosn't acept the partnership, is lawfull evil imo. ... Edit: glad you noticed that in post.
So my roommate is starting to watch the show, and I'm joining and watching episodes whenever he puts it on. And I love the show, and I forgot how triggering Walter White is and how frustrating he can be
i believe even before season 5 Walter was way more evil than you think he is. i really don't think he did a lot of the things he did for Jesse out of the goodness of his heart but rather to keep Jesse around and have control over him.
I think pride and toxic masculinity are very intertwined with the series. Hank is an opposite force and only discovers Walter is Heisenberg after he becomes less toxic and often in his most immasculated moments. Walter gets sloppy in season five as he buys into even more toxic masculine traits. I felt like you kinda were reaching in the aftermath argument against that theme and like. Kinda defending it? I dunno about that last part but hey subjectivity and all that
@@Chrisfragger1 the man was making rude jokes about his son. Never touched him. And while standing up for your kid is obviously noble, assault is not. If Walter had verbally reprimanded the person and then it had turned violent that would be different. But also I feel like you're wilfully misinterpreting Walters motivation. Walter views his son and family asan extension of himself, he literally named his kid Walter jr. When that man was making fun of his kid for being disabled, Walter took that as a personal attack on his own pride and ego. Rather than responding with words like a mature adult he felt the need to be the big macho man and lash out with violence
I feel like this analysis is particular was pretty meh. Too many MAJOR actions (poisoning a kid, blowing up a retirement home, gaslighting Jesse into going against Gus, using a neighbor as bait for the hitmen) all fell into just one instance of "Neutral Evil". I feel like these should've definitely been spread out, as it creates a weird disparity when that one point in Neutral Evil can be negated by him just having one heart-to-heart with Walt Jr. Speaking of Walt Jr., I do not see making his own son down back to back shots of tequila just to aid in his pissing match against Hank as Chaotic Neutral, that is some straight Chaotic Evil shit 💀
Saying Breaking bad is all about Toxic masculinity is like saying Dragon Ball Z is just dudes powering up. Like yes that is one foundation but you're missing so many other foundations by looking at it from that one side
Breaking the law ending with everyone relatively happy is literally any other good besides lawful. Also, lawful neutral for making the deal with Gus is leaving out the part where he misses the birth of his daughter to do it.
Love Walter white... as a character that is, a terrible person he is but he's a modern Macbeth. A tragic rise of ambition and fall of pride. Got no smooth transition this time, just want to request an assassin's creed vid
I would absolutely LOVE to see you do an Alignment video on Banshee (preferably “Lucas Hood”, Kai Proctor, and Job), just because I feel like it’s a very overlooked and EXTREMELY badass series. While we’re at it, might as well throw in Ozark, the Sopranos, and Mr. Robot.
This doesn't even touch the fact that there are people who use Walter as an example of the US medical system being bad. Which is somewhat fair, but also very much oversimplistic way of looking at things.
Love the video but I need to say something for everyone....Wanting to take care of your family because you feel the need to is not TOXIC. Going out of your way to deceive them for your own agenda is even if it is for them. The end goal sometimes justifies the means but not always. Stay strong everyone and remember it's not wrong to be who you are, even if everyone disagree's be you.
"Wanting" to take care of your family because you feel the "need" to. Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? Either you need to or you want to. If your want comes from a feeling of requirement, that isn't exactly healthy. Wanting to support your family is fine. Doing it because it is actually necessary is also fine. Doing it out of a feeling of necessity isn't, or at least isn't healthy.
Are you completely incapable of letting a protagonist cross into evil alignment? I'd love to see you find Bojack Horseman's alignment and find a way to twist Attacking a man with cancer, causing Sarah Lynn's death by dragging her away from months of sobriety just because He Felt Like It, or ATTEMPTING TO SLEEP WITH A TEENAGE GIRL as "oh so quirky CHAOTIC NEUTRAL teehee!"
Part of the fun of seeing a visual representation of a characters morality throughout a series is seeing their "arc" across the diagram visually play out. That cant happen if they all bump around True Neutral forever
I wanna see a video on Indiana Jones (I would like to see it to start out with the opening scene from last crusade, the entirety of temple of doom, raiders of the lost arc, and then the rest of the last crusade)
This is a pretty good idea however I think we have something similar to that without the voice actor a RUclipsr named @rodamrix does among us animations videos were it does have goofy moments but it takes itself seriously with some cool fight and moments with certain colored crewmates he even created an alternative timeline where the little yellow imposter didn’t stop pink and green at the time, highly recommend
I think something people often forget when it comes to interpretations of anything is that there is no right one, and all interpretations can mutually exist since by their very nature they're dependent upon the lens you choose to look through. For example, while for sure its not intended, one could also look at breaking bad as a commentary on how white privilege and patriarchy allows white men to dominate all walks of life, including crime by focusing on viewing the show through a racial and feministic lens. From small shit like Walter White's and Jesse Pinkman's very names being symbolmatic of their very whiteness, the fact that Walter, a white man, manages to outdo and take out mostly minority led criminal gangs, and ultimately it is at his own hand he dies begetting that the only thing which truly dominates over white patriarchs is themselves. That's just some surface level shit that you might think absolutely ludicrous, but someone else could see and think "Wow, that is a lense you can look at it under." All of this is really to say, I don't think its fair of you to try and undermine and dismiss how others view the show because of your own viewpoint on it. I feel like you doing alignment videos should know that best, all of this is very much subjective.
You should totally do a Alignment video for Rimuru Tempest from"that time I got reincarnated as a slime", a arguably diverse character that would be fun to see a video on it also has a movie coming soon as well!^-^
It would be interesting if Rimuru didn't get every advantage handed to him at the beginning of the series. I read the first several chapters thinking that since he's a slime, he'd be weak and under-powered, and have to use some clever strategy to survive. Nope, he's handed several hax skills just for dying and being reincarnated. Yes, that's a staple of the series, I just feel really let down that the author felt that he needed to resort to this to have an interesting character.
@@atoth62 in no offense I think you read to deep into this as I meant the choices he makes in his journeys from conning a town of goblins to serve him not to mention dumping important roles on them to him massacreing a kingdoms higher powers to make it a better nation!
@@atoth62 I guess that's your opinion, this was my first anime when going into it and has set the bar for wha I consider "good anime" but that's just my opinion!^-^
My only question is the neutrality of making something like meth with intent to distribute. I’m not immediately claiming evil in this context, as I know this is by D&D alignment context, but I am saying I don’t understand how that’s neutral given the intent, and how harmful the drug is.
I would argue that it's neutral, yes he knows that meth is harmful but he is not intending it to be sold to kids, if adults make the terrible decision to mess with things like meth that's their decision, no matter how wrong that choice is. Walt is merely supplying a demand that is already there, if he hadn't started cooking there would still have been tons of methheads around and they would have just bought from someone else. If he were out on the streets pushing it on people and in particular preying on minors then it would be evil, but the act of supplying a harmful product is not inherently evil (if it was then every alcohol producer and bartender would be evil too since alcohol addiction can and does ruin many people's lives and they knowingly supply this to their community)
@@mikeledrew5830 I dunno… Drinking can be a serious problem, but the argument of neutrality with it seems more fair given the perception of alcohol, and the fact that most can drink it in moderation. Walter’s an informed chemist making meth, and, well… That “I dunno” was sincere, because I really don’t know how bad it is comparatively. The impression I get, though, is it’s significantly worse. Either way, Walter’s going into it knowing he’ll have to do criminal acts to distribute it. Like, is crafting a sword with a terrible curse not evil in D&D until you’ve followed through on what you crafted it for?
Walter White is the perfect Chaotic Evil. He will do *anything* to achieve his goals and put himself on top, no matter how unqualified he is and how many people have to die to get there - evil or innocent. Mike repeatedly shows in Season 5 how stupid it was to cross Gus and for Walt to not just stay in his lane. The more Walt sticks around, the more of a mess the world became
@@TheLoadingCrew no incorrect at most it’s neutral but say you got revenge on someone like Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer you benefit of the world and therefore it’s good
still incorrect. if I kill a serial killer to avenge a loved one or to stop him from killing again, that's justice albeit lawless. chaotic good. it's all about intent. for example, when Gus enacts his revenge, he wants to make sure his target suffers as much as possible. this is evil and he's not avenging someone, he's torturing them, he also has no interest in making anyone else's lives easier, that just happened to work out since he's killing other bad guys
@@TheLoadingCrew incorrect, revenge, justice and avenging. Ken and usually are the same thing. Yes, what Gus does is evil however what the punisher does is not
A lot of things Walt has done have been skipped over in this video, and it feels like a lot of his actions were glorified. Walter White is a character affected by toxic masculinity, look at his reaction to Hank saying they only hire men. This might be your first miss, bud. Especiallly not mentioning the fact that Walter literally assaults Skyler.
6:20 So explain to me how cooking meth for the first time is Neutral?? It is being cooked for the expressed intent of selling, and idk if you are just clueless about the horrifying nature of meth but it makes its users violent, delusional, erratic, paranoid, and deeply addicted, all while withering away their bodies slowly and usually eventually killing anyone who can't muster the willpower to quit, while causing significant, lasting damage to their minds. I am a former addict, 3 years clean and sober now....I have seen Meth waste away peoples bodies and minds. I have seen people so driven by the violent overpowering need for it that they would literally sell their children to human traffickers for enough meth for one good session. I have seen it kill. I knew a fellow addict who a few years after I moved away was on the news for having a psychotic break under the influence of Meth and beating her 6 month old to death. These are not rare, or even uncommon stories. Anyone who knows anything about Meth addiction has a dozen stories like these. I have seen it destroy lives, and even leave those who do manage to quit scared and damaged, both mentally and physically. This is not equitable to some farmer growing weed. This is not some shit you can justify as harmless for casual recreational use. This is not "oh its not as bad as drinking or smoking" shit. This. IS. METH. Cooking Meth (outside of the possible exception of laboratory environs for scientific purposes) is and will always be EVIL. Period.
I wanna see a video on Indiana Jones (I would like to see it to start out with the opening scene from last crusade, the entirety of temple of doom, raiders of the lost arc, and then the rest of the last crusade)

Also, definitely some evil actions that get ignored, such as him almost raping Skylar.
Lawful in these Breaking Bad videos is, more often than not, about business & its partners, subordinates, etc, rather than The Law.
Lawful doesn't always refer to the law of the nation you live in. It's more broad than just that.
Love Walter white... as a character that is, a terrible person he is but he's a modern Macbeth. A tragic rise of ambition and fall of pride. Got no smooth transition this time, just want to request an assassin's creed vid
You need a proof reader for the written parts. A few spelling and gramatical errors slipped through.
I would absolutely LOVE to see you do an Alignment video on Banshee (preferably “Lucas Hood”, Kai Proctor, and Job), just because I feel like it’s a very overlooked and EXTREMELY badass series.
While we’re at it, might as well throw in Ozark, the Sopranos, and Mr. Robot.
all THAT towards the end and only a mere "Neutral Evil"? C'mon.
season 5 broski
So this is what Stuarts life would be like without dnd?
stay out of my territory
@@TheLoadingCrew I can't I still need to pay I mean bribe I mean pay you to be a boss in pokemon dnd
So, cooking meth, having people distribute it and making deals with crime lords is neutral in your book?
This doesn't even touch the fact that there are people who use Walter as an example of the US medical system being bad. Which is somewhat fair, but also very much oversimplistic way of looking at things.
Love this show and this channel!
Love the video but I need to say something for everyone....Wanting to take care of your family because you feel the need to is not TOXIC. Going out of your way to deceive them for your own agenda is even if it is for them. The end goal sometimes justifies the means but not always. Stay strong everyone and remember it's not wrong to be who you are, even if everyone disagree's be you.
"Wanting" to take care of your family because you feel the "need" to. Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? Either you need to or you want to. If your want comes from a feeling of requirement, that isn't exactly healthy. Wanting to support your family is fine. Doing it because it is actually necessary is also fine. Doing it out of a feeling of necessity isn't, or at least isn't healthy.
You forgot to add the time Walt sexually assaulted Skyler in the early half of the series
Are you completely incapable of letting a protagonist cross into evil alignment? I'd love to see you find Bojack Horseman's alignment and find a way to twist
Attacking a man with cancer, causing Sarah Lynn's death by dragging her away from months of sobriety just because He Felt Like It, or ATTEMPTING TO SLEEP WITH A TEENAGE GIRL as "oh so quirky CHAOTIC NEUTRAL teehee!"
Part of the fun of seeing a visual representation of a characters morality throughout a series is seeing their "arc" across the diagram visually play out. That cant happen if they all bump around True Neutral forever
I wanna see a video on Indiana Jones (I would like to see it to start out with the opening scene from last crusade, the entirety of temple of doom, raiders of the lost arc, and then the rest of the last crusade)
When’s the Huell D&D alignment?
9:02 HOLY SHIT ITS THE GUY KIM & JIMMY SCAMMED
I wanna see an Indiana Jones Alignment video
My prediction going in is CE.
This is a pretty good idea however I think we have something similar to that without the voice actor a RUclipsr named @rodamrix does among us animations videos were it does have goofy moments but it takes itself seriously with some cool fight and moments with certain colored crewmates he even created an alternative timeline where the little yellow imposter didn’t stop pink and green at the time, highly recommend
I think something people often forget when it comes to interpretations of anything is that there is no right one, and all interpretations can mutually exist since by their very nature they're dependent upon the lens you choose to look through.
For example, while for sure its not intended, one could also look at breaking bad as a commentary on how white privilege and patriarchy allows white men to dominate all walks of life, including crime by focusing on viewing the show through a racial and feministic lens. From small shit like Walter White's and Jesse Pinkman's very names being symbolmatic of their very whiteness, the fact that Walter, a white man, manages to outdo and take out mostly minority led criminal gangs, and ultimately it is at his own hand he dies begetting that the only thing which truly dominates over white patriarchs is themselves. That's just some surface level shit that you might think absolutely ludicrous, but someone else could see and think "Wow, that is a lense you can look at it under."
All of this is really to say, I don't think its fair of you to try and undermine and dismiss how others view the show because of your own viewpoint on it.
I feel like you doing alignment videos should know that best, all of this is very much subjective.
Just throwing out there. Maybe Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon / A song of ice and fire alignments
As Always, love the video and gonna beg ya to do Lina Inverse
I wonder what Kim Wexler’s alignment would be.
I really want to see the Kim & Jimmy videos in the future.
@@aligatorsandwitch72 I imagine Jimmy’s would be a two-parter
I'd say lawful evil
No matter what cooking meth is evil
Once again, I am asking for a video for Violet Evergarden
10:41 I don’t know about you all but I heard “and Eminem scores a taco”
He's an alchemist of course!😂
Good chemistry
DAY 15: Easy LE...he is a business man.
I gotta disagree with this one I think a lot of the neutrals you give should be evil and l think you missed a few evils as well.
You should totally do a Alignment video for Rimuru Tempest from"that time I got reincarnated as a slime", a arguably diverse character that would be fun to see a video on it also has a movie coming soon as well!^-^
It would be interesting if Rimuru didn't get every advantage handed to him at the beginning of the series. I read the first several chapters thinking that since he's a slime, he'd be weak and under-powered, and have to use some clever strategy to survive. Nope, he's handed several hax skills just for dying and being reincarnated. Yes, that's a staple of the series, I just feel really let down that the author felt that he needed to resort to this to have an interesting character.
@@atoth62 in no offense I think you read to deep into this as I meant the choices he makes in his journeys from conning a town of goblins to serve him not to mention dumping important roles on them to him massacreing a kingdoms higher powers to make it a better nation!
@@shadowfollower117 What it boils down to is I just don't like the guy. It may be for meta reasons, but its there.
@@atoth62 I guess that's your opinion, this was my first anime when going into it and has set the bar for wha I consider "good anime" but that's just my opinion!^-^
@@atoth62 He wasn't handed those advantages though. He earned them by how he lived his previous life
How about a Thomas Shelby alignment?
What D&D alignment is Walter Jr (Flyn)
Would love to see a video on saul goodman or walter
Day three of asking for ainz ooal gown
My only question is the neutrality of making something like meth with intent to distribute. I’m not immediately claiming evil in this context, as I know this is by D&D alignment context, but I am saying I don’t understand how that’s neutral given the intent, and how harmful the drug is.
I would argue that it's neutral, yes he knows that meth is harmful but he is not intending it to be sold to kids, if adults make the terrible decision to mess with things like meth that's their decision, no matter how wrong that choice is. Walt is merely supplying a demand that is already there, if he hadn't started cooking there would still have been tons of methheads around and they would have just bought from someone else. If he were out on the streets pushing it on people and in particular preying on minors then it would be evil, but the act of supplying a harmful product is not inherently evil (if it was then every alcohol producer and bartender would be evil too since alcohol addiction can and does ruin many people's lives and they knowingly supply this to their community)
@@mikeledrew5830 I dunno… Drinking can be a serious problem, but the argument of neutrality with it seems more fair given the perception of alcohol, and the fact that most can drink it in moderation. Walter’s an informed chemist making meth, and, well…
That “I dunno” was sincere, because I really don’t know how bad it is comparatively. The impression I get, though, is it’s significantly worse. Either way, Walter’s going into it knowing he’ll have to do criminal acts to distribute it.
Like, is crafting a sword with a terrible curse not evil in D&D until you’ve followed through on what you crafted it for?
I want to see Hank, Mike and Howard
When the boys?
Walter White is the perfect Chaotic Evil. He will do *anything* to achieve his goals and put himself on top, no matter how unqualified he is and how many people have to die to get there - evil or innocent. Mike repeatedly shows in Season 5 how stupid it was to cross Gus and for Walt to not just stay in his lane. The more Walt sticks around, the more of a mess the world became
You should do Davey stone from Adam Sandler 8 crazy nights
What does ‘Lawful’ mean
Walter
yes
Walts biggest mistake was not gold digging.
Revenge is not evil it depends on the situation
revenge is always evil. it can be justified but it is an evil action to harm someone for your benefit, that's what evil means my dude
@@TheLoadingCrew no incorrect at most it’s neutral but say you got revenge on someone like Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer you benefit of the world and therefore it’s good
@@TheLoadingCrew evil would be to allow evil to continue just so we can boast on how pure and moral we are self flattery
still incorrect. if I kill a serial killer to avenge a loved one or to stop him from killing again, that's justice albeit lawless. chaotic good. it's all about intent.
for example, when Gus enacts his revenge, he wants to make sure his target suffers as much as possible. this is evil and he's not avenging someone, he's torturing them, he also has no interest in making anyone else's lives easier, that just happened to work out since he's killing other bad guys
@@TheLoadingCrew incorrect, revenge, justice and avenging. Ken and usually are the same thing. Yes, what Gus does is evil however what the punisher does is not
A lot of things Walt has done have been skipped over in this video, and it feels like a lot of his actions were glorified.
Walter White is a character affected by toxic masculinity, look at his reaction to Hank saying they only hire men.
This might be your first miss, bud. Especiallly not mentioning the fact that Walter literally assaults Skyler.
overly british stuart feels so wrong...
Ok

6:20 So explain to me how cooking meth for the first time is Neutral?? It is being cooked for the expressed intent of selling, and idk if you are just clueless about the horrifying nature of meth but it makes its users violent, delusional, erratic, paranoid, and deeply addicted, all while withering away their bodies slowly and usually eventually killing anyone who can't muster the willpower to quit, while causing significant, lasting damage to their minds. I am a former addict, 3 years clean and sober now....I have seen Meth waste away peoples bodies and minds. I have seen people so driven by the violent overpowering need for it that they would literally sell their children to human traffickers for enough meth for one good session. I have seen it kill. I knew a fellow addict who a few years after I moved away was on the news for having a psychotic break under the influence of Meth and beating her 6 month old to death. These are not rare, or even uncommon stories. Anyone who knows anything about Meth addiction has a dozen stories like these. I have seen it destroy lives, and even leave those who do manage to quit scared and damaged, both mentally and physically. This is not equitable to some farmer growing weed. This is not some shit you can justify as harmless for casual recreational use. This is not "oh its not as bad as drinking or smoking" shit. This. IS. METH. Cooking Meth (outside of the possible exception of laboratory environs for scientific purposes) is and will always be EVIL. Period.
Least delusional Walter White apologist
apologist?
