Why break the creator Bad does not want him to be remembered for Walter White

Breaking Bad creator Vin Giligan became the winner of the “Guild of Writers Guild” by Padi Shaif Laurel for the achievement of television letter – an annual reward for lifetime achievements, which honors the best in writing television. (Past recipients – Rod Seruling, Larry David and David Chase.)

In his speech (reported on diversity), Giligian shared several ambiguous thoughts on the heritage of his most famous work so far. Referring to the prevalence of bad guys in the current political landscape, it feels that it is time to rest from the anti -hero main characters, such as his own teacher who made a chef, Walter “Hazenberg” white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (white (whitebrilliantly played by Brian Kronstan). Giligan explained:

“Walter White – one of the biggest bad guys. But all equal, I think I better note for creating someone a little more inspiring. In 2025, it’s time to say it aloud because we live in era when bad guys are real life , work amok. “

“Breaking Bad” was by no means the first anti -hero television drama. According to the words of the Cretan, “Without Tony Soprano there is no Walter White.” The final season “Breaking Bad” also took place at the same time at the 8 season “Dexter”, and completely usurp it, despite the fact that “Dexter” started working with an earlier debut.

And in this lies in the shirt. “Breaking Bad” concluded 12 years ago, but left a lasting mark on the pop -culture: old fans attract it to review it, and new fans are experiencing it for the first time. Some other television anti -heroes faded out of cultural memory, but not Walter White. For Heaisenberg Hyzenberg, it stands next to other “cool” villains of films and television, such as Michael Corleone, Hannibal Lecturer, Dart Vadder and the aforementioned Mr. Sopran. This is part of his problem.

Previously Giligian discussed his desire to “write a good guy” during Interview with The New Yorker 2022. During this interview, Giligan admitted that he reassessed how he wrapped the story of Walter in “Breaking Bad” Finale “Felina.

“The farther I get from” Breaking Bad “the less sympathy for Walter. His wound was thrown a life circle. And if he was the best man he would swallow pride and took advantage of the opportunity to treat his ex – Friends offered him.

Unfortunately, not all Breaking Bad fans were as reflected as Giligan. When the show came on the air, many fans fell Walter and twisted the justification for their actions, as the character did. Some of the same fans are known to have despised Walter Skyler’s wife (Anna Gan) for hindering their crime. Gan wrote New York Times OP-E In 2013, to refer to Skyler’s miosinal reaction, and how she had to fight it.

For the hybigan, the audience began to fix too much on the cool bad guys. This is inevitable because there are so many of them in pop culture, because of how anti-hero became the default for dramatic television, and Giligan is concerned about the possible impact of this real world:

“(Audience) say,” Man, these guys are bad. I want to be so cool. “If this happens, the fictional bad guys stop being a cautious player they were created.

For what it is worth, “Breaking Bad” Prequel/Sequel “is better called Saul” ends Saul (Bob Odenkirk) publicly repeated and receive imprisonment, and a “crime and punishment”. This is a completely different fate from Walt, who pulled the last victory and died on his own.

Speaking of “better call the Saul”, Giligian also mentioned his future Apple TV+ series during speech. Little is known about the plot, but this is a series of science fiction, put in Albuquerke, that the stars of Real Zehorn (aka Kim Wexler) as a good guy. Comparison with the “violation of the bad” will be inevitable (as Giligian was well understood when I was lucky to talk to him in 2023), but it seems that it is okay when this series is a much different beast than its previous stories Albuquerque.

“We have to start celebrating heroes again, good people again. As the years went on, we have more and more shows, movies and novels and stories of all kinds where the point missed somewhere (…) If you are enough Stories with bad guys we have to eradicate?

Brian Kronstan said it would play again if the hyban has a strong step, But from his own words, he is probably not inclined to develop it first.
