This scene from Breaking Bad man... (Spoilers)

[FaTaL]

Walt ceased to exist when he turned down an offer from Grey Matter to become a consultant and get a nice salary with great health benefits to keep cooking meth.

Walt would rather die then take charity from Eliot who was banging his ex and became a multi billionaire off his research

Anybody actually know what grey matter made?

It was never explicitly stated, but something to do with molecular science:

This Friedrich Nietzsche quote sums up how I feel about Walt:



He was always evil he just lacked the catalyst to act on it.

Fred.

I don't think he was evil

His bitterness made him evil, I think he always had a good heart but the years of watching grey matter grow off his research made him regretful because he left Elliot's wife and grey matter for no reason

Vince Gilligan Finally Reveals Why Walter White Left Gray Matter | The Huffington Post

“Breaking Bad” actress Jessica Hecht, who plays Gretchen, mentioned in an AMC Q&A that Walt left the company and their relationship because he felt inferior. Gilligan confirmed this was true to HuffPost, saying, “She’s correct, and that’s what I explained to her and to [Bryan Cranston] before they shot that big scene between the two of them where they were at the restaurant.”

The scene Gilligan is referring to takes place in the Season 2 episode “Peekaboo.”

“It ends with him being so nasty to her saying, ‘fukk you,’ and then she leaves tearfully,” said Gilligan. “In my mind, the interesting thing here — and I always kind of hate to nail it down so explicitly — but let’s put it this way, most viewers of ‘Breaking Bad’ assume Gretchen and Elliott are the bad guys, and they assume that Walt got ripped off by them, got ill used by them, and I never actually saw it that way.”

Gilligan explained that the truth is more nuanced. It all stemmed from White’s feeling of inferiority while spending time with Gretchen’s family.

“I think it was kind of situation where he didn’t realize the girl he was about to marry was so very wealthy and came from such a prominent family, and it kind of blew his mind and made him feel inferior and he overreacted. He just kind of checked out. I think there is that whole other side to the story, and it can be gleaned. This isn’t really the CliffsNotes version so much. These facts can be gleaned if you watch some of these scenes really closely enough, and you watch them without too much of an overriding bias toward Walt and against Gretchen and Elliott,” said Gilligan.

Gould added, “I think the interesting thing is not exactly what happened but the fact that Walt hasn’t let it go over all these years. He has no perspective on himself. He gets to the point where all he can really do is try to justify everything that he’s done.”

Gould believes Walt did finally change at the very end. “He was there for one thing: to take care of his family,” he said.

“The short answer here is that I think people tend to think of Gretchen and Elliott as the villains because they’re a couple of rich happy people, and they seemed to be arrayed against our hero, ‘Walter White,’ but the truth may be not so quite on the nose,” said Gilligan.

I remember bringing up the actress who played Gretchen's interview where she talked about Walt's reason for leaving and people still tried to paint Walt as someone who was wronged.

Dude was dying and his relationship with his family was strained to say the least. As deplorable as his actions may have been- he was pushed to a point where he had no real choice. He was already neck deep in the game- I imagine that once you get to a certain apex in that 'career field' there's no turning back..

His bitterness made him evil, I think he always had a good heart but the years of watching grey matter grow off his research made him regretful because he left Elliot's wife and grey matter for no reason

You can't really be a good person if that switch is so easily flipped, breh.

However, Bryan Cranston said people that judge Walt are like a married guy saying he never cheated on his wife. Put that same guy in the Playboy mansion then that statement means something.

I've always found that interesting about Walt, even back then with all his brilliance he was still intimidated by class.

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

The mental gymnastics team Walt does to defend Walt... still one of my favorite shows of all time

Talking about poisoning an innocent kid wasn't that bad

It's still TeamHeisenberg all day thou

I wonder if fring and mike knew about grey matter

Let the shyt affect him so much he just said fukk it.

No reason a guy with his brilliance, a guy with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, a guy whose research made a company worth billions, should be teaching at some shytty high school in Albuquerque, a job so shytty he has to work at a car wash for extra dough.

When he had like 9 ppl killed in 2 mins across different jails was some sinister shyt or blowing up a old folks home...

Because he thought what he was doing was beneath him and classless. He had to roll with dirty dogs then smile in the face of middle/upper class elite. Walt was insecure and even before he started dealing he probably felt that his talents were being wasted and watered down. He could have been so much further than where he was...

walt let jessica jones die

She threatened him. Jessie was too p*ssy whipped and drugged up to recognize how much of a liability she was to their entire setup. She may have come off as a "ride or die" chick but let the tables have turned had they moved to Scotland or some shyt--bet you she'd threaten his livelihood if he didn't fuel her habit or hid the money in attempts to "save" her.
