Recently rewatched Mad men and this time around it struck me that Don is not the hero (girlfriend leaves room) if Don Draper was a fire truck he would be the biggest one in the world
@Senn_Spud I'm also rewatching it and what strikes me is how much Don's life sucks. Like the themes of women having it worse in the 60s are very in your face, but all the men are just as miserable.
@Senn_Spud Walter White was also not a hero but the villain of the piece and Skylar was right (girlfriend leaves the room) SAY HIS NAME, DAMMIT.
@Senn_Spud Girlfriend wants to know why he’s a fire truck
@Senn_Spud Maturity is realizing that Don couldn't escape his awful upbringing and so as a consequence he destroys any relationship that he's in because of it.
@Senn_Spud even the writers thought he was cool. in season 2 he's basically James Bond
@Senn_Spud Matt Weiner wanted us to realize that Don is super cool and never does anything wrong
@Senn_Spud @aboynamedposh Recently rewatched Arthur and this time I realised Arthur is not the hero (Girlfriend leaves room) D.W. AND MUFFY SHOULD BE SENT TO A REEDUCATION CAMP
@Senn_Spud Sometimes I dress up like it's the 60s and pull my ass apart and call myself Don Gaper
