He's right up there with Al Capone, Pablo Escobar, Jesse Jackson and any other major crime Lord you can imagine.
He killed Jack and his white trash thugs, escaped the authorities one final time, and died in a meth lab.
Point is, his reputation is beyond repair, but saying he accomplished nothing is false. As he said himself, he enjoyed it.
Of all the infamous criminals throughout history, I'd have to say that my choice of a partner in crime would be the one who knocks.
I guess it goes to show- not even Walter White can get away with it in the end.
That said, he didn't die achieving nothing. After all, his original aim when this all started was to provide for his family after he was gone, which in the long run he did end up doing. And along the way he took out Jack's gang, which were the last enemies he had.
Also, don't forget his cancer would have gotten him sooner or later. He went out with a bang before it had the chance.
at least he died the way he wanted in a meth lab not dying of cancer in some prison. He did what he set out to do, he got the money for his family in the end. The wasn't much good he could do being a drug lord. He saved Jesse, who hopefully as Vince Gilliam(the writer) says goes on to something better and live a quiet life. Maybe Jesse can do something with his life and help kids
WW partially redeemed himself by saving Jesse and providing for his family, even though they will never know exactly what happened. The story arc was finished and he was dying of cancer anyway. Let it go. He went out his own way. The only loose end for me - is Huell still sitting in that motel room? LOL
Lol, i know exactly how you feel. But, later this year, the spinoff Better Call Saul starts!
walt did provide for his family (through elliott and gretchen) which was his goal from the beginning. that's an accomplishment.
I just finished it and im really sad with how it ended. Walt dies accomplishing nothing and everybody hates him. Omg i just keep thingking about this, all because of one stupid book in the bathroom
