MIG Tourney R5: "Dexter, overall is a better show than Breaking Bad."

Right now the site is having some weird glitch, and it won't let me post more than 100 character more than I already have, so I am going to post this link here so I can finish my arguments. http://www.debate.org... Thanks for the goodresponse! ****MY CASE**** C1: Plot "Due to the fact that Walt is becoming more evil, it is the very core of his story in this show.While once attempting to improve his and his family's condition (financial, emotional), he has over time swervedoffthe track of morality and integrity, and into criminal behavior." And I get that this is intentional,but the question is: Is it in the show'sbestinterest togo downthispath? Mostofthe time I get really peeved at the show forthisveryreason.I want towatch a protagonist,overcome challenges, not a greedy, villanous, prideful bastard, pursuing his own self interest. You say Dexter pursues his own needs too. This is true. For him as a serial killer, he cannot really give up killing, though, as it is a partofhim.Dexteris verymuch a good guy, and his code has saved him from the path of evil plenty of times. Dexter will give up his killing in an instant, if it means someone else is in need of his care. Several times, he has ditchedhis crime scenes togo andcare forRitaand the kids, or even Deborah. http://dexterwiki.wetpaint.com...... Dexter himself is a super hero, prusuing the interests of not only himself, but his family. Walt on the other hand, is completely the opposite. It may have startedout that way; him trying tosupport his family. However, that aspect is completely lost to the show.Youkeepsaying how the show is doing that intentionally. I know. But that is what is ruining the show!The audience LIKED itwhen he was doing itfora noble cause. Whathis noble about what Walt did in this last episode? ****SPOILER SPOILER****What makes the audience excited for the show now? Walt just killed off Mike, the one of the main characters, simply for dis-agreeing with him. ****END SPOILER**** What is there to excite the audience? Walt is the main character. No one is connected with him anymore, now that he is an evil manipulative bastard. Any chance the show HAD of being better than Dexter, was destroyed by the story line changing him into the antagonist. In Dexter, we the audience, feel rightthere inthe seatwithhim,wantinghim toexceed and escape un noticed. Why is this? It's because we sympethize with him. His motives are logical and neccesary. Walt's are completely ridiculous on the other hand. He turned down 5 million dollars, and the possibility of the slim chance of saving his family, to pursue his drug empire (as he calls it). And why is this? What does he need the money for? His family is GONE. Marie and Hank have taken his kids, and Skyler loathes him. I loathe him, now, as I am sure many otheraudience members do. The show has completely shocked and destroyed the audience, through seasons 2-5, and it is almost not worth watching anymore. Anyways, the point here is clear. My opponent has yettoprovehow breaking bad exceeds the plot of dexter, and after watching a few episodes, he should have the basic understanding on how to do this. I feel, however, that I have upheld the BOP on my end, on proving how dexter exceeds breaking bad. C2: Character Development. "The show also focuses on in otherareas,like when Marie was shopliftingorwhen Jessie was partying,togiveinsight into these characters and their relationship to Walt." Here is the problem with the characterdevelopmentinthisshow though. Ratherthan take one thing,andgo deepwith it, it constantly bounces around, suchthat we neverreallyknowwhat is going onwiththe characters at anygiven point within the show. Here's an example. In season 1 Marie gives Hank a ton of crap, and basically goes on a tangent with her little "stealing" problem. That instantly dies off though, and soon inseason 4 Hank is treating marie like crap, as he plays with his little minerals. The characters are so back and forth,it's insane. WalterJr, goes through random little phases, that are not picked up andcarriedthrough the entire thing as well. Skyler jumps from being a caring mother, and concerned wife, to overly horny and cheating, to suicidal, to who the hell knows. Jesse goes from tricked out druggy, to finally getting his life straight, to partying, to hanging with his bro's, to being Walt's lackey. The trend with the characters continues to jump around carelessly. In Dexter, the characters more or less stay the same, and throughout the show we get to see DEEPER into their character. Their personalities don't change constantly as they do in breaking bad, which gives the viewers more of an oppertunity to connect with each character, on a deeper lever.
