I don’t think any of the comments imply that Walt was wrong for doing what he did and feeling that way about it.

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

Jesse spoke about the pH balance, the equipment he used, the type of catalyst he used, and more. He's learned a ton about chemistry, and Walt couldn't even acknowledge it. Walt was instantly threatened when Jesse produced a product as good (or nearly as good) as his own. He called it inferior without even testing it. Walt had all the money he needed to leave his family, and then die knowing they'd be secure. But his ego couldn't handle someone else making his product; which proved his stated intentions were completely bogus.

[@laurocoman]

He knew that if he gave Jesse some positive reinforcement, he could even make a better product. Jesse's meth from season 1 improved slowly but steadily. Walt needs to think he is a genius and his stuff is unachievable by some stoner kid.

​@@_MaZTeR_ Almost certainly, because I think the blue color exists solely when it's at a very high purity. All less pure meth won't be blue (within the BrBa universe)

[@illuminocalypse5210]

​​@@jro3213Perhaps - even Gale says before he starts working with Walt that he "can't account for the blue color". Maybe it's just that he's never seen meth that pure before. But even Gale was routinely producing product at 96% purity, and it wasn't blue - the lowest confirmed purity at which we see meth be blue is 96.4% - when Jesse produces it for the cartel in Mexico. So perhaps any purity above 96% would be blue (only in BrBa universe, as you said). The idea that ONLY Walt "owns" meth of such high purity is hilarious to me. How fucking arrogant can one get.

[@jro3213]

@@illuminocalypse5210 Good point, I forgot about Gale boasting about 96% yet he can't account for the blue color. He described the difference between 96 and 99 as a 'gulf' so every tenth of a percent past 96 must matter a LOT, hence around 96.4 the blue shows up

It’s what destroyed him and his family, alongside everyone who was involved in crime as they all suffered the same fate, they ALL had self destructive tendencies that got themselves killed in this line of work, from Gus, Mike, Nacho, The Salamancas, and even Jimmy who suffered greatly in the end. You’re bad attempt to talk down to Walter is invalid as Walter White WAS drug dealer and drug lord mob boss and an excellent but still met his inevitable demise like everyone else. Nobody is “duMB” for saying that Walter built a drug empire as Walter DID build a drug empire, there’s no set standard on how you do something like that as it’s ILLEGAL, you know, a criminal act that which you’re not supposed to do. So regardless, how you get a drug empire can be anyway possible as there’s no rules or set standards on HOW your supposed to do something this illegal in organized crime, you know, that thing that you’re NOT supposed to do. Walter had control over a lot of things MORE than just Jesse, it’s just some thing went out of control as Walter made millions upon MILLIONS of dollars from all the meth that he sold but he couldn’t control the DEA investigating the Heisenberg case. That’s it! Walter WAS a drug lord, just an extremely petty one due to his own pride and ego.

Walter must have felt like this was just like the Gray Matter thing. He laid the foundation, and now someone else is about to steal his legacy.

[@geigertec5921]

Yep, he took Jessie's meth which was made in a measuring beaker and mixed with chilli powder and taught him how to make it properly. Now Jesse is making in properly but Walt is upset because he wanted to be the gatekeeper to the perfect product. His ego couldn't let some two bit junkie who he failed in high school chemistry be on par with him - a prize winning chemist who by his own claims should be a multi millionaire for his work in chemistry founding Gray Matter.

1:36 Walt says it’s his formula 3 times in less than 5 seconds. That sums up his character pretty well: selfish, greedy, and egotistical.

I've watched this scene so many times and just now noticed something kind of funny. Look at Jesse's bag of meth at 1:21, the meth is in a Hefty brand style sandwich bag with a red slider to seal it. Then just a few seconds later at 1:25, you can clearly see that the meth is randomly in a completely different sandwich bag that looks more like a Ziploc without any slider on it lol.

I like to imagine an alternate world where Walter and Jessie continue to work together with Gus with no issues, have a good, non-toxic relationship; Walt lives a happy family life and quits the business when he has earned a few million, which is more than enough; Jessie continues but then decides to pursue an education in chemistry; Gale takes over production for Gus with slight tutoring from Walt every now and then to make sure quality remains top notch and everyone lives happily ever after

Walt's big mistake was teaching Jesse the process in the first place. Walt should have kept him just as an assistant without explaining anything. That way everyone would have depended on him.

Walt couldn't keep it to himself though. Jesse was his validator and unwittingly built up Walts ego even further with all the praise about Walts product.

[@LordWyatt]

Yeah if he didn’t want Jesse making it he shouldn’t have taught him. Walt could’ve retired several times over and Jesse could’ve been his successor, a new Heisenberg, and then he would’ve been the start of a legend rather than wanting to take it all with him. Maybe Jesse would never achieve 99.1% purity but if he was actually able to improve on the process then he would’ve gotten pretty close and it would be years to decades before it became known his product was not the same as what came before, and that’s if the previous product wasn’t entirely used😅

to think this behavior was all born out of Walt’s past insecurity of leaving Grey Matter behind and Elliot becoming successful with it anyway. Walt can’t let Jesse feel like he can succeed without him, because if he does, Walt will just get left behind, again.

[@Hypersquid98]

you realize how crazy walter sounds about jesse making "his product". they're arguing about selling drugs and walter's formula but before he pulled the bag out he said he was out and didnt wanna cook anymore. once his ego was attacked it became a challenge and a game to walter so he pursued a way to prosper over jesse to assert his dominance.

Such a weird moment. Jesse was basically saying he’d pay Walt royalties for his formula and keep him and his family out of the game respectfully and Walt just decided to whine at him.

He wants Jesse to always be dependent on him, so he can use and control him. And he looks down on him because he thinks he's smarter than everyone else.

He wasn't even nice to begin with. The apparent niceness is entirely self-serving, and he's not even good at it. He can't come up with a single nice thing to say when Jesse asks what he's good at. He mentions his sobriety, which is more to police him than to compliment him -- and he later calls Jesse a junkie anyway. Shows how he really feels about him.

There was nothing for the “brother in law who was a DEA agent” to even SUSPECT what Walter even was at all as there was NOTHING that was linking Walker to “dealing drugs” definitely intill the very end where Hank puts it all together! That should be obvious here as the show makes everything VERY believable and convincing! Which you’re not getting AT ALL here! Just because there are cameras in stores, and they were shopping together in VERY earlier parts, doesn’t mean that makes them suspicious at all of anything. Having CCTV cameras doesn’t mean anything as Jesse and Walter weren’t doing anything suspicious on camera that could have gotten them caught in the slightest AT ALL. And even the moments they WERE caught on camera, no one could have saw it with either Walter OR Jesse because their faces and bodies were blocked and covered. That simple and it all makes COMPLETE sense here entirely THROUGHOUT the show! What you’re saying isn’t true AT ALL here. The show IS very realistic while having fun with itself as a show, NOT “sO uNrEaLiSTiC” AT ALL. Walter White having a brother in law who was a DEA agent in real WOULD NOT have gotten “cAuGhT alReAdY” in the slightest as the way how they escaped every scenario and got rid of most of the evidence in every situation they were in by the skin of their teeth made COMPLETE sense because of HOW each and every situation was portrayed.
