Just finished Ozymandias on my first watch of Breaking Bad and honestly… I kinda hate where this went. Not even in a “bad writing” way, just in the sense that this was probably the exact ending direction I didn’t want. Everything feels so hopeless now that it almost stopped being satisfying to watch.
Maybe I’m just not built for this show lol, but Walter feels insanely overrated to me at this point. Earlier on I could at least understand him sometimes, but his actions got so extreme and cold that I stopped seeing anything human in him. And because of that, the friendship between him and Jesse never fully hit me emotionally the way people always describe it. There were a few moments where it felt real, but most of the time it just felt toxic and manipulative.
I genuinely don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or if the episode is supposed to leave you feeling this empty. Right now I just feel awful after watching it.
Does the ending eventually make all of this click for people or am I just completely missing what makes this so loved? 😭
Give me some feedback in the comments pls.
