Is Early Walter White more of a ‘Anti-Hero’ or an ‘Anti-Villain’?
According to the TVTropes website, an anti-hero is a character who lacks a handful of the traditional attributes of a hero but is ultimately heroic. An Anti-Villain is the opposite, a character with heroic goals, personality traits, and/or virtues who is ultimately the villain.
I often seen him described as an Anti-Hero at the start, but I don’t think it fits him very well. Even if he’s sympathetic, has noble goals and is often an underdog he’s still a drug-dealer at the end of the day. Idk.
