Last time I posted this, I was asked to explain myself! I’m going to take this as an excuse to be deranged for a minute and draw braindead parallels because I think finding similar themes in wildly different medias is fascinating
Okay so since I am definitely going to sound insane, I'm going to list from weakest connections to strongest and scariest. This is just for fun by the way! I’m not taking this chart too seriously and neither should anyone else
Jesse
Starting with Jesse and Zephyr Breeze. I honestly put this one on there within the first few seasons of the show after seeing the way Jesse's parents treated him for the choices he made in life but even so still chose to let him back into their home apparently several times even before the show starts. Along with this, they do both have a sibling much more talented than them that their parents are clearly very proud of.
This is my weakest connection because despite the obvious stoner energies Zephyr has, the show is for kids and they would never acknowledge that.
Moving on, we have Mallick from Saw 5 who I've also drawn comparisons to. Between being forced to take lives whether it be accidental or intentional, Jesse and Mallick both commit murder despite clearly not wanting to. Along with this, they both have histories of drug abuse which end up being directly correlated with loss of lives which end up being directly or indirectly their faults.
They have similar personalities as well, both being very emotional people who desperately don't want the blame to be placed on them toward the beginning of their respective medias but eventually accept it. I don't believe either of them necessarily deserve to be placed under complete blame, but alas.
Finally, with my comparison between Jesse and Amanda, they actually both follow incredibly similar narratives. Like Mallick, Amanda also suffers from drug abuse toward the beginning of her story, but is forced to overcome it at some point ironically which both come after the death of someone important to them.
They both have an older man in their life who they end up viewing as a teacher and who are both incredibly controlling toward them (more on this later).
Walter
For Walter, my weakest connection for him is The Doctor, specifically being the Twelfth from what I remember of him. For as much shit as I’m going to give Walter, there’s no denying how resourceful he is. He seems to rise above the odds many times throughout the show with seemingly very little on his side. To his credit, he was able to get through things many times with very little in his favor, for better or worse.
This was something I remember actually appreciating with The Doctor, however. The reason this is the weakest is because USUALLY The Doctor isn’t just doing everything he does for personal gain and this is honestly kind of an insult even if he really isn’t perfect.
Next, we have Eichi Tenshouin. I’m really just being mean with this one, but they do have some things in common. First of all, they both serve as manipulative masterminds of sort towards everyone around them. While Walter’s manipulation seems to extend primarily toward his family and Jesse, Eichi’s is toward.. pretty much everyone in the story including his own unit.
Both of them have also decided that because of their poor health and limited time to live, they aim to do as much as they can with the time they have. On top of this, they both have seemingly convinced themselves that their actions are for the greater good despite ruining the lives of many surrounding them. But I’m sure Eichi isn’t as bad as Walter. Probably.
Finally, we have John Kramer. Like the connection with Eichi, John and Walter are both master manipulators who are using the limited time they due to their poor health for what they believe is the greater good. Again, nothing John or Walter do is for anyone’s benefit regardless of what they may have convinced themselves of.
They both have ideologies they claim to stick to which are actually fairly flimsy once you look at them for more than a few seconds.They’re both huge hypocrites when it comes to what they deem as morally okay or not, and neither are above letting someone innocent die as long as it furthers their own goals.
On top of this, I mentioned already their connection when I analyzed Jesse and Amanda, but they both do seem to view their respective “students” very similarly. I’ll never forget when Walter told Jane’s dad that Jesse he was his son, but I do mean this as negatively as possible. It made me feel a little sick. John seems to view himself in a similar position with Amanda despite everything he put her through.
Both of them saw someone who was struggling and decided to use them for their own gain up until the very end.
And that’s the real tragedy of it all.
