Thread: Breaking Bad

Yeah, I think Walt's character development seemed kind of weird. He started off as this nice, well-meaning father and husband and slowly turned into this demented sociopath that can kill people off without a second thought. His motivations are kind of hard to grasp, even after they're partly explained. He didn't take payment for his treatment because he saw it as charity and was too proud to accept it. That's understandable. But the fact that he immediately decided he would raise the money on his own by cooking meth? Yeah, you've lost me.

His attitude throughout the series just seems to get weirder. He overreacts to everything, he gets mad when things don't go his way, he becomes incredibly greedy, egotistical and power hungry and just doesn't seem to get the idea of quitting while you're ahead. I understand these changes can come about due to all of the events his character has been through throughout the series. But some of it just seems too sudden and too drastic to be believable.
