20 More So-Called Happy Movie Endings That Absolutely Aren't

Breaking Bad is arguably one of the few TV series that ended on a perfect note, with no loose ends to speak of and an almost universally satisfied audience. There really was no need to follow up with El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.

The story detailed Jesse Pinkman's (Aaron Paul) journey after Walter White (Bryan Cranston) helped him escape his captivity at the hands of Jack and Todd (Michael Bowen and Jesse Plemons). However, Jesse driving off as a free man was all the ending that was needed. El Camino isn't a bad film by any stretch, but it didn't feel as if it really added anything to the overall story or the character.

Essentially, Jesse worked to build up the money needed for Ed (Robert Forster) to give him a new life and a new identity, as he previously did for Walt, but there is only so much a new name could offer him after everything he went through.

Ed told Jesse he was lucky to get the chance to start fresh, but that's not what this was. The tragic circumstances in which Jesse lost both Jane and Andrea (Kristen Ritter and Emily Rios), the years of abuse and manipulation he suffered at the hands of Mr. White and others, and the scars of being held as a captive against his will for as long as he was are things that will stay with him no matter where he lives or what he calls himself.
