I think that's sort of happens because Walt is written as the guy you're supposed to sympathize with

Wellll, not so much anymore. Last season even the creator said that he "lost all sympathy" for Walt and that he's basically reaching full on villain status.

I haven't seen the last season, but just because someone is written as a villain does not mean he can't also be written in a way that wants you to sympathize with him in some way.

Examples: Dexter is serial killer, even though one with a moral code, and he's written so you sympathize with him. So is Hannibal. So are several charterers in Boardwalk Empire, or The Sopranos, or the protagonists in GTA.

They are all villains, no matter how you twist or turn it - but through writing style they can become relatable characters. That's sort of the difference between fiction and reality: it's quite possible to root for a great bad guy in fiction.

No, Walt's been pretty much written to be unsympathetic at this point.

*Maybe* he was sympathetic earlier, but was pretty much always selling meth because he didn't want to accept his ex's money.

if you're not caught up with the show, perhaps you should refrain from commenting with your opinion

wtf Hannibal is written to sympathize with

He's an amoral people-eating monster

Hannibal IS written to be sympathetic. He has been since 1999. This is nothing new.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-22 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Books have been around since '81 kthx.

Amoral people eating monsters should not engender sympathy. If he'd stopped with the psychos who ate his sister, maybe. Teenage orphans and bad musicians? No.

No shit Sherlock. But Harris didn't write him sympathetically until Hannibal, which was actually came out in 1999. He wasn't at all sympathetic in Red Dragon and he only appeared in that for ten pages.

Yeah, Walt is a monster at this point. Catch the fuck up.
