They were both demons. Walter could have chosen not to move the way he did. Tony rather grew up in the mess. The demonic part is neither of the two stopped doing what they did until the ultimate: death.

Christopher Moltasanti wasn’t his “idiot nephew” he was his hot headed protege who was a key member in Tony’s crew. And the rest of his crew did carry plot lines for multiple episodes. Also Tony wasn’t the same throughout the show his character got way darker and greedier just like Walt.

The thing I find fascinated about these characters are that they’re both complete opposite types of anti-heroes. Tony is light born in darkness, being born to a mother who had borderline personality disorder and a father who was in the mafia, with Tony witnessing violent activities. While Walter was darkness born in light, he was man not surround by anything criminal related but instead he’s bitter, has a fragile ego, for being giving a shit hand in life with giving up his position at Grey Matter and living in a financially struggling household. But in the end they both start off as anti-heroes and end up as villains, showing how strong darkness is, no matter what angle it starts off in.

[@onemoreminute0543]

As I saw one article put it: Breaking Bad is about a man who abandons the light for the darkness. The Sopranos is about a man who is given the opportunity to join the light, but constantly retreats back into the darkness.

[@onemoreminute0543]

I think the evolution (or lack thereof) of each character works well enough in their own right: Tony is a man who tries so, so, many times to be a good person and improve but the realities of the world and its external pressures constantly force him to regress into a monster. He's an example of determinism. Walt is a man who rebels against the world's external pressures and society's expectations of him and completely transforms by the end. He's an example of free will.

[@tranqilo397]

do you have any recommendations for a series like breaking bad?

[@onemoreminute0543]

@@tranqilo397 I don't know of anything else EXACTLY like it, but obviously the Sopranos is a good recommendation as Vince Gilligan was heavily inspired by it. Some other shows which have anti-heroes like Walter White would be stuff like Mad Men or Sons of Anarchy. For a pure crime show with an ensemble cast, the Wire is probably a good watch.

[@tranqilo397]

@@onemoreminute0543 never seen mad man, does the hero also raises and become something?

[@onemoreminute0543]

@@tranqilo397 There's generally an attempt by the main character Don Draper to change (though that's more to do with finding human happiness), but nowhere near as drastic as Walt in Breaking Bad. I think Walt will always be a unique character due to where he started. He wasn't born into organised crime, he's not connected to crime in any way, he wasn't in war,he wasn't part of a gang, and he didn't have a big business, and wasn't part of a dysfunctional family. Walter White was just a middle-class, high school chemistry teacher who lived in fear of taking any dangerous risks in life. It was only until his diagnosis that he was faced with his own mortality and realized 'hang on, I've achieved literally nothing in life. I had the potential for so much more. But it'll all be meaningless unless I take action now'. Another recommendation would be Peaky Blinders, where Tommy Shelby climbs the social ladder over the seasons to become not just a high criminal figure, but even a political figure. Like Walt, the threat of death completely alters his psyche and outlook on life. Barry is another recommendation, though he's more like Tony Soprano in that he constantly tries to evolve into a better person but his experiences and the world always push him back. Supposed to be pretty unique due to its dark comedy.

[@thewolfmankindlyrequests]

I don't think I can pick between the two, or between the shows for that matter. However, making character evolution the tiebreaker doesn't settle anything. Walter White is meant to evolve massively as a character, it's what Gilligan set out to create. Tony Soprano is someone written to be incapable of change, he's a sociopath and always will be. It's as conclusive as making the decider who's better at cooking meth or who's better at being Italian.

I agree, that's a tough one like you said, the point of Breaking Bad was Walter changing for the worse and seeking some redemption in the end. Tony starts off bad, gets more depressed, miserable and is basically his mother by the end.

Tony is in and grew up in a world where his lifestyle is pretty much accepted by friends and family, so we got to see the details and inner workings of his business while understanding where he's coming from, whether you agree with him or not. Walt put himself in a world out of desperation where it is definitely not accepted by any of his friends or family, so we got to see how he juggled his crime life and his family life while watching him slowly turn from a nerdy quiet nice guy into an unrecognizable, selfish, and ruthless monster that we can no longer understand. The nuances in Sopranos was brilliant. The nonstop crescendo sequence of events in Breaking Bad was insane, to the point of almost anxiety inducing.

I gotta give it to The Sopranos though for having more replay value. Breaking Bad when you watch it the first time is the most thrilling,gripping and intense thing you'll ever watch, like the watching the TV version of the dark knight. but it doesn't quite hit the same the second time, but the sopranos is the opposite. it gets better the more you watch it. there's so much depth to the soprano universe,there's more lore ,so much more ambiguity. the sopranos has more surreal and supernatural elements,religious symbolism. While breaking bad is more focused, the sopranos i feel is so much more layered and well thought out of. after watching breaking bad again it almost feels linier in comparison.

Definitely think the first 2 rounds were wrong. Just like in the final evolution round, Tony never changed too much. He received constant attention from everyone around him yet he was cruel time and time again. Tony was a better family man than Walt but was so unbelievably selfish he made everyone's life worse and had a front row seat for it. Walt's intentions started understandably and slowly allowed his ego and power control him. However his nobility in saving Jesse in the end as well as saving his ass many times in the series makes him more rootable. On round two, the soprano crew was family, they were huge in driving Tony's actions and truly responsible for his power. The Chris/Tony relationship alone was such an essential part of the show! Dont get me wrong, BB has amazing crew characters but they're more individuals doing whats best for them. The soprano crew was a unit and army. Way more impact ful. Past that though I agree the rest!

@@therealkendallroy Also, The Sopranos pays homage to countless scenes from The Godfather, not only does it reference The Godfather but it copies some of the scenes as well plus Michael Corleone was the first mobster anti-hero on the screen so its quite obvious and it shouldn't be requiring any reasoning for one to point out that The Godfather clearly influenced The Sopranos.

Sopranos definitely has a lot more rewatch value than BB. Breaking Bad is like a 5 star meal you have once in your life, but Sopranos is a 4 star meal you can eat every month

Sopranos is a lot funnier and more entertaining overall. Just look at every Sopranos comment section. The amount of quotable quotes is something else.

[@roguebritgravy1]

Are we going to see a Jimmy McGill/ Saul Goodman v Walter White video soon?

[@igkgigoh]

I wonder whose crew would survive if they actually went to war. Tony has an armada of criminals, but thinking about the actual mercenaries which Gus has surrounded himself with in the last season of Better Call Saul, it would definitely get interesting. Mike against Paulie alone would be a sight to see.

[@sergoldenhandthejust1495]

Mike would make short work of Walnuts and anyone else from that pygmy thing over in Jersey

[@igkgigoh]

@@sergoldenhandthejust1495 OOoooh! When he was in the service, he won the chin ups cup three weeks in a row! They both have wrinkles like an old lady's cunt., though. But I agree. The mob had numbers, but on their own, NONE of them would survive against Mike.

I love the Sopranos. However, at NO POINT in the entire series did I root for Tony. I rooted for Walt for all of Breaking Bad. Tony was a very much unique piece of work.

[@BishopWalters12]

I agree, Tony was always a monster and got even more ruthless in the final season. Walter at his worst was still trying to save Hank's life and even gave Jack all his money.

[@Skyx5m50]

@@BishopWalters12 Walt manipulates the audience so much. I’d rather root for the evil I know than the evil I don’t. Walter white is a manipulator and gets sympathy and a pass if he does 1 good thing.

[@powerboatguy2308]

@@BishopWalters12 Yes, Tony was a monster from the start, Walt slowly evolved into a monster and built an empire. They had to be careful with Walt and not turn him to the dark side to quickly. I read Cranston's autobiography, and they had written a scene where Walt was going to strangle Jesse's girlfriend, but instead had him watch her choke to death, where he was considering helping her, but did not. Him physically strangling her that early in the series could caused people to abandon Walt, but later on we were all in with him. Walt was just better than Tony, he did not have the crime family to protect him, he had to be very cunning to defeat his enemies.
