    Fair. Although Gus wanted Gale to replace Walter because Walter was a bit of a liability. So for Walter, it was kill or be killed.

      I know that this is like, the point of the show or whatever but it just makes me grumbly because I feel like if Walt was just 10% less of an asshole, 10% more humility. He could have had a perfectly successful criminal career and made out like a fucking bandit. But he was all like oh I’m Heisenberg bro and look where it fucking got him.

      It just felt unsatisfying. I wanted to like Breaking Bad, I acknowledge that it’s well crafted, I just didn’t enjoy it. You can think something is a quality product but not personally enjoy it.

        He could have had a perfectly successful criminal career and made out like a fucking bandit.

        But it was never about the money. It was about his desire to realize his potential and feel like he was in control of his own life.
