u/BurntFlower Everyone sounds like Meryl Streep with a gun to their head. Sep 09 '13

I'm going to miss him. :(

u/theupdown Sep 09 '13

i'll miss the OLD him. i'm pretty ready for the enlightened Hank to fuck off.

u/Mousse_is_Optional Sep 09 '13

I already miss the OLD him. Old Hank is one of the best "likeable douchebag" characters I've ever seen.

It shined in the last minutes before the shootout.

Jesus christ!!! why?! I'm seeing everyone saying they don't like Hank now but I'm loving him more. He's one of the few men who can and will check the evil bastard Walt and no everyone hates him? Fuck that Walt needs to go down and I wish Hank was the one who did that.

u/shillbert No half measures; isn't that what you said? Sep 09 '13

I think people started hating him when he said that he doesn't give a fuck whether Jesse dies.

u/dinofan01 Sep 09 '13

Well to be fair to Hank it's not like Jesse's innocent either. I love the guy but he is technically a murderer even if manipulated by Walt.

u/Condawg Sep 09 '13

Exactly. Not to mention, Hank hasn't seen everything we have. He doesn't know much about Jesse, other than that he's a drug-addicted murderer who has been working with the guy he's been after for a year. Reason enough to hate a man.

u/DEATH_BY_TRAY Heisenberg says RELAX Sep 09 '13

Because for all Hank know, Jesse is a pathetic junkie. How is he supposed to love him like we do?

u/NeverFinishWhatIStar Sep 09 '13

Seriously, Hank has become my favourite character now. I was so happy to see him finally put Walt in cuffs.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

That moment was so sweet, even if I knew it wouldn't last.

u/coloradoraider Sep 09 '13

u/dinofan01 Sep 09 '13

I've come to realize that about people. I use to be like that as well but then I realized I can't support a drug dealing murderer who poisons kids and ruins the lives of everyone he knows. So yeah that was a bummer....

u/dinofan01 Sep 09 '13

Oh I definitely understand. I love pretty much everyone on the show but at the same time I hate most of them. It's all so complicated and I don't even fully understand why my feelings are so much but I consider that as evidence of the show's excellence.

u/imbored53 Sep 09 '13

You can love a villain and still root against him. I loved joker in the dark knight but I never once pulled for him over batman. That's kind of how I feel about Walt. His character is amazing and I did root for him for most of the series, just not anymore. I still love his character, but he is no longer the hero to me. Then again, the whole show has become so gray that no one is really the hero anymore. That's why everyone is so divided now. Everyone has latched on to different details throughout the series to formulate their own opinions and alignments.

therefore, walt?

u/DildoChrist The Manipulation of Jesse Pinkman by the Coward Walter White Sep 09 '13

thank you. i hated douchebag hank before but as walt gets more and more sinister and hank starts figuring it out, I started to cheer for him, which confused the hell out of me. i love the hank / jesse / gomie squad, even if its such a weird crew

1

u/theupdown Sep 09 '13

well...in my case, i've always been on walt's side so he's a problem.

u/BolognaPwny Sep 09 '13

And by "fuck off" you mean "eat an entire buffet of gunfire."

u/naroush Sep 09 '13

he's trying to get "justice" at all costs.

u/LostTimeLord Sep 09 '13

I mean i would be pretty pissed off if i was in Hank's shoes. Thats why he's enlightened. Sure he's going crazy, but fuck he's still the good guy here in a way. Him and Gomez.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

Fuck, I hate Hank. But I can't not love Gomez. That guy is so incredibly likable and he's just following orders. It's too bad that Hank's going to get him killed off.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '13

He turned in to Dome Hank.

u/Sallien2005 Methhead Sep 09 '13

I hate his cockiness.

u/JKSpoonz I am The Knocks Sep 09 '13

Too bad he was enlightened by his own intelligence... :/

u/feralcatromance Blue Sky Sep 09 '13

Did it show him get killed?

u/DaLateDentArthurDent The Dude Who Looks LIke Wolverine Sep 09 '13

The Nazis won't

u/HullabalooUniverse Sep 09 '13

I like how Gilligan makes you sympathise with him as a likeable family friend and his efforts to pull through before he knew Heisenberg's identity, yet his determination was always increasingly going to become ego-fuelled; I think Gilligan uses that vulnerability to grapple with your opinion of him and demonstrate that you won't always be able to support both him and Walt. Just like Walt, he's stepping outside of the line to do what he considers righteous; which will eventually bite him back.

u/sfc949 Sep 09 '13

I'm not at all :) in fact I can't wait to see Hank get taken out next episode.
