      I disagree, that juxtaposition with Bryan Cranston adds to the intended artistic value of the show for me, its not just a side effect of the culture decaying into fascism.

      If it was walt would be the good guy

        Yeah Reddit mentality is that Walt was the good guy and Skylar is an annoying bitch. If someone hasn't rewatched it as an adult, they probably haven't come to the obvious conclusion that this is, and always was incorrect, and the showrunners tried to be obvious about it. I remember that it'd made sense to me back in 2011 too.

          Very true. And I think even adults watching it the first time - on release - were caught up in the zeitgeist Walt-as-hero narrative of the show that was the dominant cultural one - especially the early seasons. Speaking for myself as an older Chapo - it was a very different experience on the rewatch. And that one scene in the kitchen
