Walter's arrogance was incredibly off-putting for me, especially when it blinded him to the possibility of danger. He made a number of stupid and hurtful decisions in the name of pride that did nothing but bring harm to... basically every other named character in the series. He's the worst piece of **** I've seen on TV. Credit where credit is due, that's because of some amazing writing and acting, but it was still a challenging experience for me to finish watching it.
He certainly is a right and selfish twat. His character is probably one of the best examples of hubris in art that I can think of.
