Is he the most pointless character of any TV show? Seriously what was his character's point, to make you feel even more sorry for Walt?

uhhh he inadvertently came up with the money laundering scheme that was hugely importanté

You mean the donation website?
I'm sure it was in Walt's character to come up with a way to launder that money

He was sleeping with one of the producers, and wanted to be on the show, so Vince wrote him in.

It helps the whole "im doing it for my family point" while skyler is all stronk career woman there had to be some weak link the the family

i have the same haircut desu

Since the protagonist is villainous, the show had to convince the audience to root for Walt despite him eventually becoming a monster. So here we have the disabled son, who loves and admires his father to an extreme. His purpose is not to make Walt more human, but to convince us that it's ok for Walt to get away with his atrocities because we don't wanna see the palsy kid be sad

You must be proud of having the retard haircut

Is he really retarded IRL or was he just acting like a tater ??

He does have cerebral palsy, but it's not as severe as in the show, like he doesn't need crutches

this is it

he's there to generate sympathy for walt

i think it would have been better if he were like 5 years younger though, i didn't feel sympathy towards him for the entire show

the main problem is they did nothing to develop his character outside of his relationship with his father

there's basically no acting coming out of this guy apart from b-b-b-breakfast

compare this to AJ in the sopranos or something, who was a fully fleshed out character who actually had his own arc

It's not only sympathy for Walt, it's to further reinforce that everything Walt did he did it wrong, even a fucking son.
His only son(apart from babby Holly that is never important) has palsy and will never make him proud of anything, to further make the point that Walt existence is miserable.

he serves as a mouthpiece for the audience so questions we have can be answered by an in-universe character

for example:

where's breakfast

>His only son(apart from babby Holly that is never important) has palsy and will never make him proud of anything
Walt was proud of him plenty of times.

Holy shit, I just realized how hot Walt Jr is. I bet his penis is deliciously sweaty. I'd totally slobber all over that knob.

i have the same haircut as him

>Seriously what was his character's point
b-b-b-b-breakfast

>his penis is deliciously sweaty
This place never ceases to amaze me.

He is there so that Walt has a bigger excuse to cook meth.

And you do realise that Walter was the villain of the show since ep1 and you are not actually supposed to root for him?

...

>Walter was the villain of the show since ep1
Fucking wrong. You realize the name of the show is Breaking Bad, right? If he broke bad in the very first episode, the show would be pretty god damn short, wouldn't it?

You need to re-watch the first episode, because you really didn't get it.

But it's understandable. Breaking Bad is a pretty complicated show. lol.

He was there to add a sense of desperation to Bryan in the early seasons when he was still struggling with cancer and money problems.

After that they couldn't just boot him off the show so he was just there to eat breakfast.

They didn't even make 1 story arc for him, we don't even know what his school looks like.

Poor flynn

didn't even make a mill from breaking bad telegraph.co.uk/money/fame-fortune/rj-mitte-breaking-bad-didnt-even-make-me-a-millionaire/

i had that haircut until my dad got a job

You have autism, kiddo. Stop pretending to be smart.

>A disability is knowledge; a disability is power.

If you don't understand by now that his character represents us the audience then I have lost all hope for you.

I achieved perfect SAT scores. What were yours?

>using a retarded person as the audience
Bravo

He wasn't even in the show that much, ofc he didn't make a mil

Perfect, just like yours

he got free breakfast though

He was Walter's motivation for getting more money which led to his corruption

I still think it should have ended with Jr getting addicted to blue meth.

The show was a bad Sopranos knockoff.

Where do you live cutie? ;)

>Is he the most pointless character of any TV show?

No, that was Wesley Crusher.

>loves and admires walt to an extreme

He didn't respect Walt a single bit. He was all about Hank.

>mfw TrekTards actually believe this
not uploading an image because trektards arent worth image responses

To showcase the depressing feeling of having a son you can't expect great things from

Walter wouldn't have been this upset if his son was a wonderstar athlete

On the other hand, can you imagine having a father like Walt? A schlub who could have been a partner in a Google-analog if not for his ridiculous omega male nature? A guy whose genes can't even produce healthy sons? A drug dealing criminal? Wow.

He was made pointless.

>series never explored whether Walt's chemistry job at Gray Matter had something to do with his defects
>turns into a mama's boy in the final season, turning against his beloved Dad
>didn't go full Ivar The Boneless and walk in Walt's footsteps, replacing that whiny cuck Jessie

what was the point of giving the son Down Syndrome instead of just being a healthy person?

I have the same haircut

He seems like a prick irl and full of himself. yeah his career died with breaking bad.somehow this girl i dated and her friend both thought he was hot? somehow. so maybe he gets pussy still
