What the fuck was the point of this storyline
to show that betty was a child in the head
To get me lusting after the white queen.
It was so we would know that the director's kid is a fat piece of shit who can't act
sorry I should explain that for my generation that kid looks like he's putting on weight when he should be approaching the most active period of his lifeI know most of you guys are way fatter than that
>>223212094Kill yourself
>>223212163It’s odd how he actually got worse as he got older in the show. The one episode where he goes to the museum with Sally was fucking brutal
>>223212094To humiliate the goyim by having an ugly Jewish boy engage in sexual behaviour with a blonde shiksa.
>>223212094He would have been considered comically overweight back then
>>223213249This.
>>223212094>no America's golden age was actually miserableThis show is historical revisionism and demoralization. Anti-White and -American.
>>223212205He thinned out as he aged. Happens to a lot of us.
>>223212226wtf?
>>223214558More like you think everything was always peachy because that's how it was depicted in 50s and 60s media. In every era things sucked. In every era there were unhappy people with troubled lives. You just want to believe everything was perfect at some point but it never was.
>>223212145This. He was the only one she could really relate to, and she didn’t understand why her actions were weird or bad.
>>223214615>You just want to believe everything was perfectNobody believes that except you. You want that anon's viewpoint to perfectly suit your already held and probably unshakable assumptions. You are the one who wants to believe in perfect black and white circumstances, you're doing it right now.I expect a reply where you deny this and double down but I won't reply to it.
>>223214558Fuck off, schizo. There's no revisionism and no such thing as "demoralization" tactics. You fucking incel conspiratard bigot.
It’s rumored that the actor who played Sal was written off because Matthew Weiner heard that he made fun of his son’s acting
>>223214681Shalom!
>>223214949See, you're crazy. Out of nowhere you bring up jewish shit. LOL
>>223214615it was a modern take on the tragedy of a 60s housewife. She never grew up mentally, pumped out kids, was used by her husband, got sick and died. Not saying I agree with it or it was good or bad, it was just the point of her character. I think the current epidemic of 40 something quirk chungus cat ladies with no future prospects is far worse.
>BYEEEEE BYEEEE BIRDIEEEEEI don't get it.
>>223212094betty is child
She’s emotionally immature and secretly flattered by his attention. Notice how she snaps out of it as soon as her own kids come home with the maid. She’s also lonely iirc Don was living in a hotel at this point and her father’s illness had made her regress even harder into being a little girl. She gets pissy in Season 4 because Sally is like her sister stealing her boyfriend
>>223216088>She’s emotionally immatureRemember the part where she jokes about helping her husband rape a 12-year old girl? She's like the /tv/ equivalent of the crazy bitch who convinced Chris Chan to fuck his mom.
>>223216088i'm glad that he and Sally never dated or anything. One as we would be subjected to him much more often and two because he deep down still wanted her mom so much.
>>223214681Do you blow Matthew's Weiner?
>>223214615I grew up in the fifties and every single person had a wife and two kids and a brand new house in the suburbs and a Cadillac and a TV and we all watched the moon landing together every night.
when i realized my parents were the age of sally when this took place it makes sense that they are so susceptible to ads. they'll see something on tv and rush to get it the next day, because that's just what you do
>>223216157I never understood this scene. Especially I don't understand the husband's reaction of laughing it off or whatever he does. If my wife said something like that I would be totally perplexed and seriously worried about her mental health
>>223217145maybe i need to rewatch the scene but i thought he laughed out of confusion and then went straight into "what the fuck?" when she continued. she was insecure as fuck and trying to make him feel perverted just in case he had a single thought about the girl. she really is a child, and don also did a number on her by fucking anything that moves
>>223212094>show takes place in the 1960s>son is dressed like a teenage skater from the 90s
>>223217430>plain white tees didn't exist in the 50s
>>223217187the problematic age gap between him and Betty proves that he is a perverted pedo
>>223214615Fuck you faggot. My grandpa was able to raise three kids in a nice house and support a homemaker wife while working as a tour bus driver.
>>223215004>Gets to sit around and have a super easy life folding laundry and has to do nothing harder than preparing a tasty dinner for husband when we walks in the door.Yes what an absolute fucking tragedy.
>>223217187>she was insecure as fuck and trying to make him feel perverted just in case he had a single thought about the girl.That makes a lot of sense, thanks
>>223213249/thread
>>223214615>>223214681>>223214963holy bot cringe gaslighting failure
>>223212163lol
>Welcome home Don/Daddy!What the fuck Weiner?
>>223213249For some reason I don't feel humiliated
>>223212145Fpbp.
>>223212145Yup, the only male that he could truly connect with besides Don and his dad was Sally's friend.
>>223217905They both look so uncanny. Fat Betty can't age gracefully into her 40s and Kiernan got a fucked up face
>>223218160Looks pretty good to me desu
>>223218160lol wut Jan Jones looks great. Kiernan has always been overrated.
>>223214905That's pretty funny, but who would make fun of a child actor's acting? And apparently the kid who played bobby draper was even worse
>>223214905Dumb rumor. Sal's actor already confirmed and said they told him to come back for one episode like Paul did and he refused
>>223218180>>223218210She looks amazing for her age, but it feels like she's trying to hang on too much
>>223218250What else is a person who has gotten everything in her life due to her genetics supposed to do?
>>223212346yeah I remember watching it and immediately looking up if he was a nepo baby. It's so strange to me how egotistical someone can be to basically ruin multiple scenes in your own fucking series just to put your shit kid who won't even try to act in the spotlight.
>>223218289the kid was probably forced to do it. also in such a weird fucking storyline. either way as he got older he could have told his dad to fuck off but he did it anyway
>>223213249The only actual reason.
>>223212163literally. >to show that betty was a childSure, that's true too but mostly M. Wiener just wanted in on the surrogate action.
>>223218180Fit. She looked bonkers in mr deeds.
2010s writing>now let's focus on the main character's wife's daughter's friendfocus sprawl, can't focus on one character, gotta explore the boring lives of others vaguely connected to him. It's like America's version of social realism.
>>223213249I thought he was Mexican
>>223214681It's crazy how multiple anons took you seriously.
