Walt definitely gets more love than he deserves but I always thought the way fans treated Skylar was the bigger problem. She got so much hate for being a mostly reasonable person whose partner does terrible things and put her in terrible situations.

I think it's just the ones that call him and everything he does "badass" mostly. Not much thinking going on, lol.

I liked Walter in the beginning because he was doing something to make money for his family before he died. When he turned down all that money from his friends I started to dislike him.

Tbh, Walter is just such an amazing character. I enjoy seeing him because of his ambition and intelligence. Honestly, its almost inspiring in the same way films like Nightcrawler and Whiplash are, despite the fact that they’re all more like cautionary tales. Lets fucking admit, we all want a little bit of Heisenberg in us. The story is framed where he’s this dying middle aged dude who never achieved his dreams, and becomes a badass due to circumstance.

Part of why I haven't been able to watch the show is the number of people just kind of blindly praising Walter. It's a little concerning based on what I know of the show lol
