Part of it with Walter is that unlike a Norse god or a vampire he's got this singular life in which to make choices. At the point where he clearly sees the possibility of dying right before him, he acts without conscience.

But I think the dislike of Walter is often overstated. He's a character you dislike BECAUSE you like him at some point in the beginning. Because he is written to be someone you see going through pain and suffering so there's a sympathy/empathy that forms. But then, after that sympathy/empathy, you are forced to watch him have none for anyone else.

Which to be fair is excellent crafting of a villainous character. Usually you're dropped in after someone is deemed evil by everyone else and so when they do things that express care for someone else, as the viewer you reward this expression because it is how villains redeem themselves.

Walter is a lot more like the villains we know in our personal lives, the ones we give our faith, compassion and love to but receive the opposite and/or worse.
