Why does everyone on earth like the ending except for Any Forums?

I wanted the opening scene to be his ending. There is no bigger punishment for Jimmy than life permeated by paranoia, loneliness and boredom.

>but can't pretend any longer
Wouldn't this imply that they're vocal about it? Otherwise they are still pretending

That’s always been clear. There’s the scene from Breaking Bad where Jesse and co. talk about how there’s no meth on the streets because Tuco got popped. There’s also that scene with the tweakers who gone a crime spree because of a discount from Saul. Both sound like suburban teenage writing.

“Go on a crime spree” is what I meant, I’m just a very poor proofreader

I keep thinking about the scene in the final episode of Breaking Bad where Walt finally, after a whole five seasons of denial, says to Skyler, "I did it for me" and finally confirms that his malice didn't come from his circumstances but from himself.

Better Call Saul burst out of the gate depicting that, unlike Walt, Jimmy did outwardly seem to be someone who really did want to do the right thing and just didn't have the resources and support to make good decisions, in contrast to Walt being a man who was itching for the chance to unleash his inner megalomania. But the last few episodes have painted a bleak picture of someone in the process of being totally consumed by all of his worst instincts, making us doubt that there was ever a moral fiber in Jimmy McGill.

But rather than condemning him as the biggest asshole protagonist to ever be on TV, the finale shows us that we were right as an audience to see the redemptive qualities that we noticed early on. He grows, too little, too late to save himself, but enough for us to finally see his true regrets about hurting his brother (and Howard!) laid bare after 3 seasons of denial. And for him to share a final authentic moment, a somewhat amicable goodbye, with Kim, the one person he still really loves and the one person who the idea of hurting finally got him to avert that negative spiral.

That is a really great conclusion and a damn meaningful message. Even facing the life sentence Jimmy chose to finally admit his regrets to himself and start to live without them. It's just as cathartic as "I did it for me."

>got him to avert that negative spiral.

80 years in a max security prison. What a fantastic aversion.

The final is fine, I just hate it. I hate the "bad guy getting what he deserves" cliché. They already did that with Walter.

>But Walter died as the terror he wanted to be

Yes, but he also had to sacrifice his life in a kind of dumb way while killing LE NAZIS so you can still have some empathy for the guy

i don't really care about what "happened" in the ending, at the end of the day you can make any narrative work. but the actual writing and directing in the last few episodes was just so bad i couldn't engage with it on any level. but honestly it's not like i was enjoying the show a lot before this, i feel like ever since we got ushered into cartelworld and chuck died i just lost all interest.
