This scene in Breaking Bad was cartoonishly gay

[PogromStallone]

The show should have delved more into the fact that they literally sell life ruining drugs. But the only conflict in the show is that people get killed with guns in the business aspect of it. Jesses conflict is that they had to kill a kid to leave no witnesses but he has 0 moral qualms with cooking a product that is also sold to children.

That's not what the show is though. It's not trying to be a commentary on society. The point of the show is to focus on Walter White's journey and, by extension, the people around him.

I’m not saying it has to be some commentary on society like “drugs bad guys”, i’m saying why is that never a conflict internally for the characters on the show? They all hold a libertarian view on it which is “Duhhh if no one wanted this i wouldnt be cooking it so this isn’t morally questionable.”

And we obviously know morally questionable shit is a big part of the show considering how conflicted the characters are at killing people directly

When Hank found out, he should have gone public and really made it a "everyone knows Walt is Heisenberg" thing where he uses his money & lawyers to stay out of prison. Would have made a compelling final season instead of the forced Nazi idiocy.

Nazis are awesome. Get over it.

Jesse and his friends all used so I'm sure they thought if someone completely succumbed to it then it's because they were weak. Same with alcohol.

Final season should've just been a cat and mouse game with them. Hank knows. Walt figures out Hank knows. Walt refuses to have him killed. Hank does everything he can to get evidence while everyone thinks he's gone off the deep end accusing his poor sick brother in law and now blaming him for everything that's gone wrong for him in recent times, the car crash, thinking Marie was hurt, etc.

I mean technically that is what happens…right up until the Nazis decide to kill Hank. Then the show just devolves. The entire shit from Hank knowing and researching to make sure he’s not crazy, to Walt slowly figuring out Hank knows, to the confrontation in the garage, Hank trying to flip Skylar, Walt sending Hank the video to use as blackmail against him, Hank using Jesse as a prop to lure Walt. The only thing missing here is the “Hank what the fuck are you talking about?” angle. Hank tells Marie Walt is a methcooking murderous psychopath and we don’t even see her reaction or how she comes to believe thats true. She just does.

I wanted the "I am Iron Man" twist, the horse is out of the barn and running down the street. Walt quietly figuring everything out and sneaking around like Colombo was dumb.

Walt should have held some press conference and named Walt, the newsmedia goes all crazy about the science teacher turned meth kingpin, but Saul has the smarts to keep him out of prison. Final confrontation is Walt vs Hank with Jesse siding with Hank, Walt dies, Jesse goes to prison but is content because he did the right thing. No Nazis, no Jesse Plemons, nobody kills Andrea for the shock moment.

It was always a little hokey and dark comedy. The scene early on where they put the body in the bath and the acid melts the floor etc so I never really minded the whole giant magnet nonsense

Are you finally admitting your life is ruined, you tweeker faggot? And don't deny it, I see you make subtle references to your meth usage all the time, you fucking homo.

Thought for sure this thread was going to be Walt and his faggot son revving their cars next to each other for 10 minutes straight.

Lol what an embarrassing scene. It was the first time I asked myself "what did I just witness?” during the series run.

It was a god damn ad for Dodge.

Why would global drug empires give the slightest fuck about meth purity percentages?

The reasoning in the show iirc was that it was a better product so it sold better, as if meth heads are discerning wine tasters.

I saw a video addressing that point that basically concluded "they wouldn't care" and the difference between 75-80 percent and 99 percent pure meth would provide basically an unnoticeable difference in experience. I wish I could find it but the dude broke it down pretty well how it would make no economic sense to demand higher purity if it increases the cost because the end user just wants to get high for as little as possible. If you sold meth that was 25 percent less pure for 74 percent of the cost the fiends would just buy more

That's not gonna get you laid, Walt Jr. N-n-nothing will.

There was a girl in my school with cerebral palsy with this crazy fucking walk where her joints were bent and her limbs all pointed outward. Other girls would follow her down the hall doing the walk behind her and openly laugh at her and shit. Even I remember seeing that and being like "You're a bunch of heartless cunts." They called her Breakdance though, which is pretty funny. But yeah, cerebral palsy is one of the most mockable afflictions. It just turns you into a cartoon character, and not the hentai kind.

Whoever this person was is completely full of shit. Meth purity is usually around the high 90 percents now. It is all lab made in Mexico. You can get street meth in America that is 99% pure without having to go far. A decade ago you would be lucky to get 50% pure. Just like how cocaine and heroin are impossible to find now and fentanyl is everywhere. These illegal drug markets change all of the time.

Lab meth is cheaper to make than biker meth. Same with fentanyl instead of cocaine.

The pure meth is cheaper, I would think.

Although more complicated, let's say meth is made of 2 reagents. They need to be mixed perfectly if both reagents are used up. If not, one will react completely and the other will leave some of itself in the product. Hence impurity. Impurity= wasted materials = more expensive.

I know this doesn't address the larger point, and I probably don't know what I'm talking about anyway.

Another thing nobody ever talks about.. Breaking Bad was low budget as fuck. It felt like a high school production especially in a lot of the writing. Vince Giligan worked on a bunch of mainstream shit. It was just a little jarring. And the "haha, he said BITCH" cutesy shit.
