Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Breaking Bad's Walter White is one of television's most iconic antiheroes, and several moments from the show will test viewers' allegiance to the character. Walt's actions become increasingly dubious over the course of Breaking Bad, so it makes sense audiences might question his motivations and their validity.
8 Walter Turns Down Gretchen And Elliott’s Offer In Breaking Bad season 1, episode 5, "Gray Matter," Walter declines Gretchen and Elliott's generous offer to cover his medical bills. Obviously, this needs to happen in order for the rest of the series to unfold. However, this is the moment when Walt's pride and desire for control become apparent.
6 Walter Tells Jesse To Kill Gale In Breaking Bad's season 3 finale, there is a moment when Walter instructs Jesse to kill Gale Boetticher. Walter's decision is driven by his desire to protect his own empire and secure his place in the drug trade. This is already immoral, but what makes this action even worse ethically is that Breaking Bad's lead makes Jesse do it.
4 Walter Confesses To Jesse He Watched Jane Die The Breaking Bad episode "Ozymandias" definitively establishes Walter as an irredeemable character. It contains several scenes that destroy any lingering sympathy for him. However, the moment that takes the cake is when Walt cruelly confesses his inaction during Jane's death in an attempt to exacerbate Jesse's suffering. He then cosigns his partner's torture and potential murder, showcasing how callous he's become.
