No!!! You should not feel bad!!!! YOU are the one who gets it, and the internet that fucking fell for Walt's rationalizations and protagonism are the ones who did not get it. Walt is 100% written as entitled, controlling, vindictive, condescending and bitter right from the beginning.

He fucking destroys a guy's car battery for cutting him off in episode 4!! He truly can't handle being insulted, ever. He's an absolutely terrible teacher. Writing 'did you even try' on a failing student's paper is a bad fucking teacher. He's hugely ableist to his son (see when Walt is teaching him to drive especially).

Walt is always a bully, he just does it in socially acceptable ways, while constantly feeling like he's better than the life he's living, and better than everyone around him. When he gets the cancer diagnosis, suddenly the life he's always thought was beneath him is the only one he's ever going to get, and there's nothing to be gained by following the rules anymore because he's going to die anyway, so all the breaks come off.

He absolutely can't stomach taking support from anyone, because his ego is the size of the goddamn sun. He turns down Schwartz's offer of a position with solid health care because he would rather cook meth so he can feel like a man and a genius and a hero than like someone who needs help, even when accepting it would be so much better for the family he claims to be doing it for. He doesn't even tell his own wife about his diagnosis for ages.

He's a shit from start to finish and you should feel CORRECT AND SMART AND VINDICATED.

I don't blame you. Meth ruins lives.

She absolutely is, and that's why I love her.
