Just thinking about the scene where Jesse tells Hank that Walters not just "smarter than you" hes "luckier than you". Because this is something that Jesse knows from intimate experience like from their first meeting at the beginning show- literally the catalyst of the show- is based on pure luck. Like what are the odds that on the first tag along Walt goes on with Hank he meets not just anyone but his former student, not only that but his former student who still lives at his last known address in the school database. Out of all the drug dealers in New Mexico he stumbles across Jesse. Like imagine if he'd met Krazy 8 or Emilio or Tuco or even stumbled upon Gus's operation earlier or even if he'd tried to do it all on his own. He'd have been dead within a week bcuz literally no one else would've tolerated him or not taken the first chance they got to stab him in the back. But not Jesse tho. Jesse who is loyal and trustworthy and respects Walt. Walt could not have asked for a better partner to have put up with him. This is a fact that he takes advantage of and gets away with taking of bcuz Jesse is Jesse. Like he really couldn't have gotten any luckier that Jesse practically fell into his lap and was just there waiting for Walt to step in.

we as the audience see jesse pinkman as the tragic figure he is and can compare him to famous characters of old, the doomed martyrs he so closely resembles, but if you were to ask jesse what character he’s most like, he’d be like “yo u know its my homie parappa :)”

Realizing that Breaking Bad memes and fanart portraying Walter and Jesse's relationship as friendly/familial can add greatly to the viewing experience if they're all the viewer knows about the show beforehand. You go in expecting Walter to be a good-hearted, down-on-his-luck middle aged dad who's formed a fatherly bond with Jesse, just like the characters in the show. In this way, the viewer is caught in the same slow-burn situation as Jesse, Skyler and everyone else, believing Walter to be a decent man based on your past experiences with him, and slowly realizing that none of it was real and he is, in reality, an absolute monster.
The viewer, just like Jesse, struggles to conclude that the relationship between the two is abusive and manipulative because of the fun, quirky experiences you remember the two sharing, and don't want to believe that that is no longer the case and maybe never was.
The viewer, just like Skyler, struggles to see Walter for the abominable person he eventually becomes because they and her both are still filled with memories of him being a loving, fatherly man.
The modern experience of watching Breaking Bad, ie. already being somewhat familiar with the characters from fanart and memes but being unaware of the inaccuracy of their portrayals, actually added quite a bit to my viewing experience, and I believe it likely improves those of others, too.
