(I think of "hot take" as signalling "here is my contrary opinion that is likely at least partially wrong.")I don't think I've ever suggested, anywhere in my (yikes) 19-year history on this site that people are bad people for liking something different than I like (for one thing, you people would eat up all the pralines and cream ice cream, and that would suck). No one is bad for liking Breaking Bad more than me, any more than I'm bad for thinking that Lost was great until the moment the producers caved in to the audience that wanted things explained, which it had never been set up to support.But the notion that one can't tell a story of a man's fall from grace and letting his theoretical morals get ground away by perceived necessity until he's ultimately an evil person -- and likely was, all along -- cannot be told well in a movie is simply wrong and a silly assertion to make. There's ample evidence to the contrary, and one liking Breaking Bad doesn't mean that all those movies are somehow bad as a result.</blockquote>
