8 TV Scenes Everyone Always Gets Wrong
2. The One Who Knocks - Breaking Bad
These last two entries are the most egregious examples we have by a country mile.
Walter White has become an icon, but sadly in the same way that Tony Soprano, Tyler Durden, and the last entry on this list have become icons. Objects of veneration by a very particular kind of men who completely miss that they are not meant to like these characters at all.
Just look at how these fans prop up the "I am the one who knocks" scene from Breaking Bad as a symbol of badassness. When, in reality, Vince Gilligan and his team wrote that scene to show Walter as, well, what he is: a sad, pathetic d**k playing at what he thinks a badass looks like. Which, judging by this scene, is someone who angrily shouts down his own wife when she dares to voice an opinion he doesn't like.
Walter White is one of the most compelling protagonists in television history, but he is most certainly not a character to aspire to be. And the rant you all adore so much is one of the biggest proofs of that.
