No "my story isn't finished". Just something that'd plausibly happen.
I guess I can respect that, but I don't think Breaking Bad, given how heavily serialised it was, is the kind of show that benefits from an open ending.
It would've benefited from better writing because it's a one-trick-pony. "Walter has to be under high pressure!" was the mandate. They just started to come up with more and more outrageous situations under which he'd be in a bad place, despite him having resolved his issues.
Part of the reason why I think the original ending was fine is that the show greatly overstayed it's welcome. It's like Drag 'em Balls Z in terms of escalation. I was glad it was over.
And you've still got the shittest taste by virtue of liking Disney Soy Wars alone.

Not mandate, character. The more criminal behaviour he commits, the greedier he gets. The greedier he gets, the more risks he takes. Even back in like season 2, Walter pushes Jesse and himself to be in control of as many aspects of the business as possible until in season 5, he finally reaches top kingpin status, at which point we get to see him fuck up.
Not to mention, with Breaking Bad's success being mainly in 2013, there was nothing except Gilligan himself standing in the way of a season 6. He told a well-rounded story and ended it in a good spot.
El Camino's an indulgence for the fans, but BB started and ended exactly how it should have
Utter delusion. I see why you're a Disney sheeple. You can self-explain any dumb shit to yourself to be alright and then get frustrated when people question it. You're beyond help. The absolute state of this bugman.
