>sabotages his bright and promising life because... he didn't want to marry a rich girl>despite his supposedly immense ego and brains, he just... doesn't marry the rich girl and create the multi-million dollar company based on his idea because... he felt like a bit of a rube>marries some roastie>has a retard son>turns into a murderer and drug-pimp to take care of the roastie who openly detests him and the retard son>dies a failureThe more time goes on, the more I dislike BrBa. It makes no sense that a guy would be both this smart, and also deep down a monster as they try to imply, and also feel so self-conscious he self-sabotages himself and ends up a bloody High School teacher. If Walter was evil enough to buy into his hype and want to become a drug kingpin, he'd have had no problem marrying Gretchen and living the high life. No, really, just compare him with the other middle-aged career-climbing sociopath of tv that dominated back then; Frank Underwood. FU is literal white trash whose daddy an heroed. He makes it his life's mission to climb the ladder, and he marries the rich girl to have as an ally in his ascension. Underwood being an amoral killer is fine because that's in line with his entire personality. But Walter cannot both be so scared and self-conscious that he sabotages himself until he reaches 50, and then have within him such a thirst for money and power and greed and all that. They're entirely antithetical traits.>inb4 there are evil cowardsSure. They stay in the shadows and spin tales. But the inherent darkness lets itself be shown long before 50. If someone is capable of lying, killing, literally pushing drugs, then he'd have grabbed any other opportunity to get at power well before his middle-aged cancer prognosis prompted him to go all YOLO.TL;DR The character of WW makes no sense.
>>218223143>he didn't want to marry a rich girlBecause Gretchen's dad said "Goyim" to Walt.
