Personally no i never rooted for Walt. Don’t get me wrong I still enjoyed his character and the show overall but I figured him to be a pretty bad guy from the start. Sometimes I just enjoy a show even when all the main characters are bad people. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is another example from a completely different genre. Most episodes end with those characters in a bad predicament based solely off of their poor actions, but that’s what makes it interesting to watch for me. I would feel like a shitty person of i rooted for them because they are incredibly shitty people. Another example i can think of is Narcos. That show was wildly popular, but there’s no way anyone can justify rooting for Pablo Escobar.

Anyway I guess that’s all beside the point of why you may not like No Country for Old Men. I haven’t seen that movie in a long time so I can’t recall many details. But I can still appreciate reading your thoughts on what makes for good storytelling. There’s really no right or wrong as far as I’m concerned, everyone has their preferences.

Do you not like any movies or shows where the main character is the bad guy? The Sopranos is my all time favorite show but I’ve never rooted for Tony. Breaking bad is great too but I still never rooted for Walter White.
