| Topic | Do some people really not like Walter White? |

That's Walt's side of the story (and even then, I don't recall him ever outright discrediting them like that). We never got the truth because that part of his life was never elaborated on in much detail. Anyway, Walt did some monstrous things as early as Season 2, but fans still liked him because he was written as a likable character, because he was somewhat of a plucky underdog the entire time, and because the other main character, Jesse, was a pretty unlikable douche through most of the first three seasons. This only really changed in season five when the writers decided to paint Walt in a much less sympathetic light. IIRC they pulled this off in a few ways - Making him openly disrespectful toward Mike. This didn't sit well with fans since everyone LOVED Mike. - Turning him into a super creepy pervert with Skylar. No one liked Skylar, but creepy old pervs are never popular. - Allying him with the white power gang, who were super lame and uninteresting compared to the show's earlier antagonists --- Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif ...
