That 1.5x comment has killed any desire I had to actually respond.
Yup
I watched all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad for the first time over this last week on 1.5x speed.
What is the point of watching at 1.5 speed?
Are you in a hurry? What is the rush?

What does drug dealing have to do with Toxic masculinity? Like c'mon now, lol.
He broke up with his girlfriend because she was more well off and he felt insecure. Then he refuses help at every turn because a man has to provide for his family. Along the way he drops that pretense and just starts doing it because it makes him feel big and he doesn't give a fuck who he hurts as long as he gets to be king.What does drug dealing have to do with Toxic masculinity?

Apparently some seem to think that harmful pride comes from masculinity. I think those people that think this are complete idiots, but what can you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯What does drug dealing have to do with Toxic masculinity? Like c'mon now, lol.

No one's mentioning how lying and rationalizing things to ourselves is an issue. Walt tried to justify everything he did on helping the family, when in actuality, he wanted to feel like a badass.
At the very beginning his rich friends offered him a job and to pay for his cancer treatment. Walt was insulted by it.What does drug dealing have to do with Toxic masculinity? Like c'mon now, lol.
Why do people find it so strange I watch shows/movies on 1.5x speed? You get done in almost half the time, and if you're marathoning a show like I was (I watched a few eps a day, so at 1.5x speed I felt like I cut the runtime in half), I was able to watch all 5 seasons is just one week. Now I have free time to move on to the next show or movie I want to watch, instead of being stuck on one thing.
I wish 1.5x speed was invented in the early 2000's, I didn't discover it till the 2010's.
Thats pride. Nothing to do with Toxic Masculinity. Yeah, let me work for the guy that took my idea, foh.At the very beginning his rich friends offered him a job and to pay for his cancer treatment. Walt was insulted by it.
Yeah I'm right. It's called ego, pride and being stubborn. And it is know that absolute power corrupts.He broke up with his girlfriend because she was more well off and he felt insecure.

You're right. No toxic masculinity here.
All of the shit Walter is dealt with (sans cancer) is because he feels like he needs to be the breadwinner, to be the ideal head of the family.It's not that deep of a show. It's basically a superhero movie. There isn't a moral, it's pretty much a thrill ride. It ends with a machine gun battle vs. Nazis for fuck's sake. And the people acting like it's some thesis about toxic masculinity are getting high on their own supply.

The moral is watching things at 1.5x speed makes you worse than Walter White.
Don't pay attention to him, he keeps repeating it because he knows it gets reactions, he's a troll. Quick search his post history with "1.5" and you'll see.What is the point of watching at 1.5 speed?

I watched all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad for the first time over this last week on 1.5x speed. It was a great show, I can't believe I didn't watch it till now. So many memorable and fantastic characters like Walter White, Jessie, Gustav, the angry police brother in law DEA agent, Mike, Saul, etc. But what is the moral of this series?
Basically:
1. Don't become a drug dealer or cook meth
2. Do not associate with other drug dealers or cartels since everyone you know will either likely die, be tortured, kill your loved ones, or the cops will take you all down
3. If you need money to provide for your family, just go about it like every normal person does and work your ass off in a legitimate manner
4. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Like, the entire show could have been avoided if Walter White just decided not to cook meth. All those other drug dealers would have still existed, but it'd have nothing to do with the protagonist or his story. Walter White just lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
Jessie better turn his life around though, hopefully.
Didn't this guy say he watches movies at 1.5x speed as well?
wrong.

Rape is not an action exclusive to males. He didn't go on the show being this super macho guy sleeping with hookers, cheating and telling his son "grab them by the pussy" or "boys don't cry" And to be clear. I don't know how some people defend that scene. Saying "She didn't say no" Skyler is terrified about her safety and her son. Because she knows what Walt has become.
