It's underlying message is that people who like it are retarded

Nothing, really. It's a pretty upfront crime story. At best it just has vague themes of pride, coming to terms with your own mortality, and toxic masculinity

I don't think it's a show with great subtext in any way. It's a simply character piece, I guess you could classify as a tragedy, about a proud man that wants to provide for his family and ends up destroying it.

The colors they wear are metaphors for their colorful personality. Marie wears purple because she's a cunt.

the cancer forces him to think about his impacts on the world and how he'll be remembered, he realises how much of a humiliated cuck he is in his life and everybody around him learning of his cancer offers him help in a way that proves how pathetic and toothless they see him. so he starts doing things for himself and taking risks and not giving a fuck anymore, living for the danger game.
but it all ends up destroying everything around him, because those are bad things, walter *white* should have just been accepting his emasculated place and taking all the handouts from people he never liked and was compared to, didnt live up to, reminded him of wasted potential. doing all the things he did to have a last affirmation of life before he died was "pride" and "ego", he should have just took a handout and died a miserable unrespected cuck.

It’s not The Wire, kid. There is no underlying symbolism or message. Walter White was always Heisenberg he just needed an excuse to go back to his old self

Are you saying this?, or are you telling me this is what the writers wanted to convey?

It was a basic crime drama in Baltimore. It was okay but stop pretending it was some super deep show.

aryan will to power is good, heisenberg should have been shooting up blue tren and become a massive beast and live in the end still controlling his empire.

Walter was always an ubermensch except for his weird obsession with duty. It was his “duty” to his family that caused him to sell his stake him his old company, become a hs teacher, etc. Once he stopped caring about that he was unstoppable.

Yeah but that wouldn't be a good "aryan" ending. Selling meth to people so the society could further degenerate...

Maybe if he became a kingpin and then ratter out all the other kingpins, that would have been a more meaningful ending in terms of his legacy .

That would make sense if the show didn't end the way it did. But seeing how the show ended it actually undermines that sentiment and makes him look like a guy who lost.

I have no idea what anon meant by that. I don't think the series ever touched stuff like that, unless you somehow put that into Wat's arrogance and pride et.

Damn...I never though about it from that perspective. Interesting theory.

So it's all anti-white huh?

So is Vince Gilligan some nefarious guy? Are the writers all in on it? Presuming this is all true, this sounds like a big endeavor and makes everyone involved look bad.

I wonder what the writers explanation for the meaning of the series is.

The lesson is that proximity to non-Whites is as harmful to Whites (introducing crime) as it is to non-Whites (creates an inferiority complex) and the safest thing to do is full separation of the races, returning non-Whites to their own countries (not the United States)

They probably have templates for shows and you just insert the names "this is a metaphor for that" "this is the bad guy and we call him some nazi" name.

The name Haisenberg is definitely not just random. It has to be a specific reference to something.

Heisenberg (the famous scientist) was anti Nazi though.

So Heisenberg "the good guy" kills the "walter white" the bad guy at the end.

At least according to this>>212270154
analysis. Or I'm just retarded.

As I said I'm really bad at understanding symbolism.
