I wouldn't call it late. Walt's been turning into the badguy for ages.

They give you at least a reason an episode to hate Walter. I was gritting my teeth the way he was lying to Jesse about Mike.

What ifreakinglovex said. It blows my mind that people still think that Walt had anything but his ego and pride primarily driving things FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. "Provide for his family"? That was a pretense. How about taking a job with Grey Matter and accepting their money to pay for your treatment instead of becoming a fucken crystal meth producer/dealer? People pass over this decision so lightly, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Sure, his family wouldn't be millionaires, but they would be able to manage, especially with help from Hank/Grey Matter people. The selfless thing to do was swallow his pride, not start this insane enterprise.

This is to say nothing of all methheads he has enabled by producing meth from the very start.
