Serious question - do you think a piece of art/entertainment is BETTER when you like every character? Seems strange to me. Some people have undesirable personal traits, I’ve always thought that reality should be represented in fiction

I genuinely think that's the case for some people.

I recently saw a comment saying how someone hated Breaking Bad because of how much of a piece of shit Walter became. Yes, THAT'S THE POINT! Lol

Some people don't actually appreciate well written characters, just characters that they personally agree with. It's very weird honestly.

Exactly, I wasn't tuning into Breaking Bad, because I was looking for rational intelligently measures responses, I wanted someone to go buck wild, so I could live vicariously through that, lol.
