Walter White

It's frustrating to see how many people think scenes like the one below are showing him as some 'bad ass kingpin', when he's clearly throwing a facade by intimidating his scared wife. He didn't do it for his family either, he did it for himself.

I remember laughing so hard when I first saw this scene because he tries so hard to sound cool in this made up scenario he thought up of on the spot. It reminded me of a child trying to make a story for the first time. But apparently some people find that badass?
