Bryce Walker

Note: This page goes over the admirable acts Bryce Walker from the 2017 Netflix Series 13 Reasons Why and not his Novel counterpart in Thirteen Reasons Why. Thus, only information about his Netflix Adaptation should be written here.
Bryce Barry Walker is the main antagonist in the 2017 Netflix TV Series 13 Reasons Why. He (alongside Montgomery de la Cruz) served as a main antagonist for season 1-2, and becomes one of the main protagonists in the flashbacks, and eventually a posthumous overarching antagonist in Season 4.
=== Debated Validations ===
* While his posthumous form taunt Clay, Jessica, Alex, Zach on several occasions. It’s unknown if this form is truly the same as Bryce or imagined by the main characters.
*His posthumous form also suggests to Clay to have intercourses with a drunken passed out woman, and points out how him and Clay are no different. It remains debatable if this is for certain Bryce’s actual self within the posthumous form or an imagination.
=== What makes him at least admirable enough? ===
==== In General ====
* Its worth taking into mind that Bryce Walker has always had helped the majority of the tape subjects like Tyler Down, Justin Foley, Alex Standall earlier on before Clay Jensen met them.
*He stood up for Tyler several times telling Monty not to do anything to him and was shocked and told Monty to quit messing with Tyler or else he will tell the authorities about what the crimes Monty had done did.
*Bryce Walker had valued his parents and felt sad when they just left him alone in his house at least to take care of himself while the two were out. And Bryce even got sad when his parents divorced and his father Barry Walker left him and his mother Nora Walker for another woman and he stood up to Nora Walker when his Grandpa told her off, And there are scenes in a flasbback where Bryce and Nora spend a lot of time painting the house and doing Yoga, and how he said he wanted to ask Nora if he could go to Liberty one day again.
*He didn't give into the racism from his grandfather and had standards against his bigotry.
==== Background ====
*He always looked out for Justin Foley since he was a kid.
*He stood up for Tyler Down protecting him from Montgomery de la Cruz at least way before Clay and Alex did.
** He told Monty not to do anything to Tyler.
**Upon discovering Tyler Down almost shooting up Liberty High School. Bryce never with the chances he had took the chance to tell on Tyler.
**He stood up to Montgomery de la Cruz threatening Monty with his criminal history prior to Season 1-2.
*He tried to make amends with Justin and tried to save his life from Seth.
*Stopped Monty from beating up Winston.
* Offered Winston money to not tell on the cops after Monty heated Winston up.
* He felt guilt and remorse apologizing for how he treated Chloe.
* He stood up for Bryce’s mother and spent a lot of time with her like meditating, painting the walls, etc.
* Checked up on Chloe to see how she has been doing.
* While he was angry enough to break Zach’s knee after realizing Chloe got an abortion with Zach. It’s worth noting that Bryce may have felt envious for taking Chloe away from him and his future with his and Chloe’s child.
* Was concerned about why Tyler Down pulled a gun on him to ask what Monty did to him. And upon discovering this, Bryce offers to call the cops and then decided to make Monty not bother Tyler anymore via blackmail.
* He made a tape for Jessica Davis apologizing to her for raping her and the other girls at the parties and Clubhouse.
* He was almost close to redeeming himself until the last minute when he got beaten by Zach and eventually killed by Alex.
=== What makes his admirability insufficient? ===
* He is incredibly villainous to the point of raping a dozen of girls and prompting one of them to commit suicide. The majority of his crimes also indirectly causes the eventual deaths of Hannah Baker, Justin Foley, etc and the majority of the plot within the series overall.
*He is in the Grey Zone for his crimes and knowing about the things Monty did. Though, Bryce was trying to right his wrongs later on and stood up for Tyler against Monty.
*He is in the Grey Zone as he does his sexual crimes of rape and covers a majority of the crimes some of his friends would do, and even knowingly keeping the secrets of what Montgomery de la Cruz; a Near Pure Evil did like trying kill Clay, attempt to enforce a Alex to commit suicide, mess up Tony’s car, etc. Yet, he was willing to try to redeem himself which makes these preventions minor.
* He fails the admirable baseline to Clay Jensen and Alex Standall who manages to redeem the majority of the tape subjects and protect Tyler Down with fewer resources not acquiring wealth. However, Bryce did briefly take care of Justin since he was a kid and saved his life from Seth which makes this prevention not too severe.
**He also fails the many standards to Winston Williams, Diego Torres, Estela de la Cruz who try to get justice for Bryce Walker himself and Montgomery de la Cruz. Despite what Bryce and Monty did.
