I'm only about halfway though season 2 of Breaking Bad but I love how so far, the show can be summed up as such:
Walter: Jesse, we need to do The Thing, Jesse
Jesse: Yo, mista White, we can't do The Thing, yo. The streets have their own rules, man. You can't fuck around like that or else you get fucked over like a bitch, real.
Walter: You're a stupid junkie and you're stupid. I Am Right and we will do it my way and we will not get fucked over like bitches because unlike you, I am not stupid
*they both proceed to get fucked over like bitches because Walter ignored all of Jesse's warnings about not doing The Thing*
Walter: Jesse, you stupid idiot meth head! You're stupid! This is your fault!!
"...every child who dreams for their future, I am here for you. I will fight for you. I will fight for you like never before."
Except the trans kids.
Except the immigrant kids.

its so small and arbitrary but its so interesting to me that walt is constantly intruding on jesse's spaces throughout the show to the point of jesse basically having no true private safe space of his own. walt, on the other hand, is super territorial of his home and the spaces his life occupies. fuck, walt flies into a rage in "down" when jesse is parked down the STREET from his house. but walt is constantly barging into wherever jesse is living at the time, pounding on the door and yelling his name and letting himself in. he breaks into jesse's house TWICE in season 2. walt is allowed to have his privacy, but jesse is not. its such an insidious abuse tactic. walt's like the parent taking jesse's bedroom door off its hinges.
stop drawing old dad and his crazy daughter and get to work.
'curlys lack of proper intervention enabled jimmy to continue his abuse towards anya and the rest of the crew and his character is a showcase of how men refuse to acknowledge the issue and take it seriously when their friends turn out to be predators. his inaction becoming the initial cause of everyones demise in the end is part of the games commentary on rape culture and how it affects the victims and everyone around them'
and
'curly isnt an inherently evil person but in fact a very human and relatable character who was genuinely upset with wht jimmy did but didnt want to take drastic measures in tht very moment to avoid causing more harm to anyone bcuz he knew jimmy was unpredictable and prone to becoming aggressive and he tried to handle the situation carefully (altho failed to do so in the end)'
r 2 statements tht can coexist btw
