Nobody is ignoring the horrible shyt Walt has done to Jesse.
I think you would see more sympathy for Jesse if there were at least a few instances here Jesse really put himself out there for Walt like Walt has done for Jesse on multiple occasions.
The closest things I can think off of the top of my head is Jesse funding Walt's empire from the jump and not giving the word for Gus to kill him. We saw Jesse be down for Mike more than Walt (even though Mike had been manipulating Jesse too).
Yes they are lol. Lots of people in here are acting like Jesse is just a bytch and that Walt didn't directly cause the bytchassness.
Jesse held down Walt by refusing to replace Walt in Gus's empire.
That's holding Walt down the same way Walt held Jesse down. Let's not gloss over that and forget we wouldn't even have a show if Jesse said yes to taking Walt's spot. Walt would be dead.
What about Jesse being the one to take down Gale? Granted, he was protecting himself as well, but he could've laid low in that lil arcade and gotten away when shyt cooled down. At that very moment Walt was done for us unless Jesse did the deed.
Jesse held Mike down, yes, but even when Walt betrayed Jesse's trust by bugging his car and condemning him for being a "traitor", Jesse STILL refused to permit the hit.
They both looked out for each other. Period. Jesse is no saint, but he was the more up front and honest one the majority of the time. Walt did a lot more scummy shyt to Jesse than the other way around. Let's just be real. The IMMENSE manipulation of poisoning Brock, pinning it on gus, and placing a fake ricin in Jesses vacuum was just the straw that broke the camel's back and had Jesse working with Hank. Not to mention dude was in the process of doing one last final favor for Walt by disappearing just before piecing the lie all together.
Case in point, it's easy to call Jesse a bytch and a snitch, but IMO that is simple minded and unfair when you look at the big picture.
The greatness of this show allows for us to have these type of debates though, so it's all good at the end of the day.
