You are rooting for Walter White in your very own claim that people don't do this. "He starts out as a mostly decent person", "he still has enough humanity that he begs for the life of his brother-in-law who was trying to destroy him". He wasn't decent to begin with, he wanted to make and sell meth. He NEEDED to be destroyed in the end, and it was his own fault that Hank was killed. You are justifying sympathy for a megalomaniac who ruined lives and killed people. This is a pitch-perfect example of the treatment that deranged male characters get all the time. Now Amy's getting it. Good for her.

Even Vince Gilligan acknowledged that Walter still had some good in him. He wasn't the sociopath Amy was.

"a megalomaniac who ruined lives and killed people" -- this is called a sociopath, your finding him slightly more sympathetic than Amy doesn't change that.

Walter has empathy and a conscience. He shows remorse for his actions. Those aren't the hallmarks of a sociopath.

"But but but he cried a little bit when someone he liked died!!"

He didn't cry for the woman he murdered, and whose murder he used to add insult to injury when leaving his partner to be tortured and enslaved. If you must look at Walter White with leather-pants-colored glasses, at least ask yourself why you won't do the same for a female character (whose body count was much, much lower, and who managed not to sell anyone to white supremacists).

"Leather-pants-colored-glasses"

Your internet, oh honored gentlebeing...

Probably because Walt had some redeeming qualities, Amy had none.

Also Walter did feel bad for what he did to Jane. Unless you missed the Fly episode.

Cried a little bit?

Walt was A.) willing to give himself up and B.) give away his entire fortune that he had amassed to save Hank's life.

Too bad he wasn't willing to do those things when his family specifically asked him to.

LOL at the literal stanning in this thread that the thread-starter tried to claim doesn't happen for deranged male characters the way it does for Amy.
