I feel like the show is more about toxic masculinity where Walt refused to swallow his pride and ego and as a result ruins the lives of everyone around him and his own just to claim something as petty as not asking for help.
Almost everything in the show is a problem of his own making and at the end realises it and tries to right those wrongs.
The interpretation of Walt as a cool villain character is an extention of that toxic masculine mindset where seeing someone who is literally destroying everything in his own life and others is cool actually cos edgy and manly. But the result of such a mindset is dying alone in a cabin abandoned by everyone.
Absolutely with the toxic masculinity but I'd argue that this particular 'rugged individualist man provider' facet is also very much good old ideology pushed by capitalism.
