I have watched breaking bad twice now and Jesse Pinkman popularity with the fans of the show still baffles me

[Jalether]

The first time I watched it , I kept scratching my head to understand what made Jesse popular and I simply couldn't see it then I rewatched it again a few years after the season finale and I hate the character even more.

Whiny,dumb, emotional and wreckless cac gen z who kept fukking up and causing most of the issues
the crew had on the show

His acting wasn't anything oscar worthy either, just basic.

I'm I the only one that doesn't get the appeal of jesse on the show

 

[ORDER_66]

it's the character arc, who he is... just a low level drug dealer being thrown into a shytstorm situation... and he's kinda likeable... unlike walter who is very likeable at first but becomes a fukking demon

 

[boogers]

jessie pinkman is the deuteragonist of the show. he plays a part. youre supposed to think hes an idiot, because for the most part, he is. however he has the empathy that walter lacks inside and becomes the 'heart' of the show so to speak: walters final act was freeing him from the nazi meth gang that was playing with his butt at night.

 

[FTBS]

Dude was a whiny brat and I never got the appeal. I mean their father/son bromamce was cool but I was very towards it. I mean he played an integral part and did it well but he never moved me.

 

[lowkey0z]

i don't have any sympathy for him, but as the seasons progress, the average watcher would grow to feel a little sorry for dude, i think that's why people favored him:

- woke up to his dead girlfriend
- his homegirl gets shot in the head by todd
- he ends up being a meth making slave

and in comparison to jesse and walt, jesse seemed to have a more perceived "moral compass" - - for instance, after todd killed that kid, that shyt hurt jesse..walt didn't give a fukk lol

Many cac incels were living vicariously hence the popularity

with the boolded. walt was quite obviously the heart of the show, He literally "broke bad" The concept and literal name of the show is based on Walt breaking bad.

Jesse was already a criminal (low level drug dealer) before Walt started the operation.

Also I feel like the venn diagram of fans of jesse and King Joffrey is a perfect circle

Some people just like annoying,overbearing and unlikeable characters talking about "He/she played that role so well"
