      Hello, since you have been making a lot of “How (insert villainous character) Manipulated Everyone” videos, would you like to consider the character of Lord Yoshii Toranaga from Shogun?
      I think he’s a top tier master manipulator villain protagonist just like the Penguin. And he’s the role that won Hiroyuki Sanada an Emmy yet he’s so underrated that I haven’t seen anybody made a video about him yet.

      Waltuh in my opinion was always like that.
      But he simply wasn't pushed over the edge yet at that point. Which is also true to real life.
      Some people have the characteristics to break bad eventually after tragedy strikes, whereas others would not cave in.

      He was created by the situations he was put in and choices he made aka Crazy 8 tuco jane ect. All these choices are brought to him and He takes the Moral, then Morally compromised, then ruthless Decisions. every step further into the show he developed more into who he became. Every decision Walt makes is enforced on previous choices. Walt did not have the ability to turn into Heisenberg. He had the ability to make the choices that led to his creation.

Walt would not have killed Emilio if they didn't want to kill him and Jesse. crazy 8 would have been let go knowing that he could kill his own family. He only makes the decision to finish it when he discovers 8 plans to stab and kill him. He doesn't attempt to harm Tuco until Jesse is Attacked. None of the situations above did Walt "put himself into" they were brought by circumstance and others around him. The same Walt at the beginning of the show would have never let Jane die but he had Evolved changed over time because of his choices.

    Walt was always the same psycho, prideful kingpin we see and love(or hate) in the end, he became the person he always subconsciously wanted to be, but couldn’t due to fear and the mental blocks that held him back, what changed in him was he slowly became more fearless and broke free from limitations, he lived the life he wanted to live and enjoyed it to the very end, while others around him suffered

    Some people think Walt was already that person based on his values shown in Gray Matter. Idk how much i agree. Id say he had the potential for that change ..
    Id also say walt changed more than Tony Soprano . Walt would never murder right? Imo he has deep-seated issues and I can see if certain elements of his personality were to be drawn out he could become this guy.
    I also like to point out that, as many people know, Cranston said "without Tony Soprano there would be no Walter White"
    I like all the little nods to The Sopranos like the long drawn-out fight that Walt and Jesse have before Jesse goes to Mexico is based on Tony's fight with a capo in "Whoever did this"
    Also they both have a double back pizza moment lol
    And theres definitely more connects. Every time I watch Breaking Bad or the clips that Mr chips to Scarface reference Vince Gill get made just feels perfect like he did exactly what he said he was going to do. With Tony it's like fat crooked gangster from New Jersey becomes more and more deplorable but actually he was always that way mostly. (I wont say Tony didn't have some massive changes but they weren't as outward and dramatic as Walters I'm sure everybody would agree)
    Anyway great video still watching! Hopefully everybody can like and comment and all that stuff so that you can be the blowfish.

    10:48 I don’t believe he cares about Jesse’s wellbeing’s he feels he has no control over Jesse and he doesn’t like that. He only likes Jesse due to how he can control him, he even mentioned it to Gus on their first meeting.
    11:07 he moves her on her back as she had propped herself up. Therefore I believe has a direct influence in her death. If he would have never went there she may have survived.

    As a determinist who read Robert Sapolsky’s great book “Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will,” Walter’s transformation resonates. People very rarely just wake up one day and will themselves to change. To the extent that people change, it’s usually because they are changed by external events.

      @@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ determinism is firstly an idea in physics that every event is necessitated by antecedent events and conditions together with the laws of nature.
      That does not make the present linear as the underlying events and conditions are chaotic and may even random.

    this is not how this neural feedback works in the Homo Sapien genus.
    If you were talking about an animal (without a 'social brain' !) then you'd most likely be right on the mark.
    but research has shown this feedback to work very differently in adult humans.
    (which i mean, DUH. we're not dumb animals)
    i love the earlier inclusions, actually has great merit in 'explaining his actions' to a degree.
    but as i've had to caution plenty of people reading into these sciences:
    yes there is a lot of physicality to behavior and changing it BUT you should always be wary of the notion that it's "all just cause and effect."
    that's awfully close to predeterminism, and fate is for fools.
    also you'know, science heavily disagrees. x'D
