[ConcinusMan]

What is everyones favourite fictional characters from films,telly,books ect ?

Just off the top of my head...

Walter White, a.k.a. "Heisenburg" (Breaking Bad)
Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct")

[Stefan-A]

Walter White, a.k.a. "Heisenburg" (Breaking Bad)

Heisenberg. After this guy: Werner Heisenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't get why people like that character. He's just a chemistry teacher who's in way over his head and who manages to screw up almost every time. And he goes around saying things like "I'm the one who knocks." when he's specifically NOT the one who knocks. In fact, the only one who's actually knocked, is Jesse.

No, he's not just a chemistry teacher obviously. He also was (is) a "bad-***" he just didn't know it when he was still "just" a chemistry teacher.

C'mon. He didn't mean he's literally the one who knocks and it wasn't meant to be taken that way. I like what he said right before that more. He was basically saying the same thing. "I am not in danger skyler, I am the danger"

It's no mystery at all why people like that character. From the web: "Walter doesn't care what he's the best at; he just wants to be the best" and he is the best. "And if anyone ever questions his credentials, he has the stacks of dirty money and the 99.1-percent pure product to prove it"

I just love stories where you are compelled to "route for the bad guy"

I guess that's why I like Sharon Stone's character too. She soooo bad!

They both represent the level of "badness" we could only aspire to achieve if we ourselves decided to "break bad".

He's a screw-up.

C'mon. He didn't mean he's literally the one who knocks and it wasn't meant to be taken that way. I like what he said right before that more. He was basically saying the same thing. "I am not in danger skyler, I am the danger"

I KNOW how it was meant to be taken and it's BS. He is in danger, he's constantly in danger.

It's no mystery at all why people like that character. From the web: "Walter doesn't care what he's the best at; he just wants to be the best" and he is the best.

He's best at one thing, he sucks at everything else.

"And if anyone ever questions his credentials, he has the stacks of dirty money and the 99.1-percent pure product to prove it"

He also has a broken windshield and in all probability a broken nose. And the stacks of dirty money is "a bit" of a problem. He might as well just set it all on fire.

Root.

I guess that's why I like Sharon Stone's character too. She soooo bad!

I thought it was because she flashes her privates.

Just compare him to any of the people he's been dealing with over the course of the series.

[ConcinusMan]

I thought it was because she flashes her privates.

You thought wrong. That's just a bonus.

Just compare him to any of the people he's been dealing with over the course of the series.

Yeah, he dealt with them alright.

[Stefan-A]

Yeah, he dealt with them alright.

You do realize that all of them could have dealt with him at any time and there would have been nothing he could have done about it? The only time he was in control of the situation, was during his first encounter with Tuco in the first season, after that he's just been running around with his tail between his legs and getting out of trouble through pure luck.

I don't suppose you've watched Deadwood?
