Both characters from Dexter and Breaking Bad are somewhat "inside" or also part of the Police/DEA.
You guys think there's a connection?
"Haha!" - Nelson Muntz ... pointing at you. :)
What does everyone think? Did Walter White or Light Yagami have a better transformation? They were both brilliant in their own ways imo.
shareIt's hard to talk about "transformation" in the context of either show. Walter White gradually eroded, so his is more worthy of the distinction, but some would argue that he was always a bad man underneath. In Light's case his "transformation" is all but instantaneous. The rest of the show is a cat and mouse chase where he spends all of his time trying to outwit everybody. The fact that the show exceeds at being entertaining, doing only that, is a testament to how smart the suspense writing is. Has lead me to the conclusion that no matter how much I hate him, Light is probably the smartest villain in fictional history.
But in Death Note I would say absolute power immediately overwhelms the weak-willed, and in Breaking Bad Walter White's addiction to power slowly spirals from a controlled drip, to him smashing the dispenser and licking it off the floor while shards of glass cut his tongue. Who knows how quickly Walter White would have turned, had he been given the same opportunity for power that Light had
Not at all, but they do share a number of thematic similarities besides even the one you mentioned, I'll give you that.
