Bad childhood combined with latent sociopathy

He was written to appeal to horny women. Mad Men is actually a show for women. Only complete retards look at him like some kind of role model or a person that should be emulated.

>>80682847
It's not the same. Lane put the firm in jeopardy and decimated Don's trust in his abilities or judgement. Don was kind to keep it to himself.

>>80682921
I bet there are a lot of pathetic cunts who self-insert into him and wish to be like him, like they were with Gordon Gekko.

>muh bad childhood

When will this shit end

>>80683018

Literally 99% of serial killers had bad childhoods. Child development shapes the individual with near irreversible qualities for life.

>>80682948
good for you, you understand the point of the show

>>80683005
If anyone found out about dons past, the company would have been just as fucked.

>>80683098
Literally 99% of people had a bad childhood, it's no excuse.

He can literally do whatever he wants and go wherever he wants. He doesn't have to take shit from anybody. He has freedom that is unattainable for the average Joe. Any man would love to be in his shoes.

>>80683148
Not really true. Maybe you had a bad one. Lots of people have no problems in their childhood and there's varrying levels of trauma.

How much longer do you think Don lived after the show ended? Do you think he made it to today

>>80683559
Hopefully he died of cancer after a few years

>>80683559
Yes he is still alive

>>80683559

Matthew Weiner said the following:

“I think that anybody who becomes more comfortable with who they are finds happiness,” Weiner said. As for Don’s future, Weiner offered this informed prediction: “He’ll probably find a fourth or fifth wife and then die in like 1981 from hard living.”

>>80683671
same, and I'm more crippled by my own mistakes than people who have been abused. If I was actually abused I would probably be a happy, successful human being by now instead of wasting away on the internet.

Don never had a single moment of familial love in his childhood and never learned what it's like to be happy, so he grew up under the impression (imparted to him by advertising) that being rich, successful, and keeping up appearances were the key to happiness. The plot of the show is that even though he's achieved all of these things, he's still not happy.

>>80683734
>fucking ocean

That doesn't sound like Don. He didn't really swear a lot unless he really meant it. He reprimanded Ginsberg for saying fuck

>>80683799
And we're supposed to sympathize. It's his own fault. What a faggot

>>80683836
>it's his own fault that his parents were garbage and made him grow up with literal whores

>>80683635
Why didn't they continue the series until Don dies

>you will never see an old, burned out Don with liver damage

>>80683888
Yes. You can't blame everything on your parents. Especially with that full head of hair. He doesn't try to find purpose or change his environment even with all he has. It's his own fault really.

>>80683254
And yet...

>>80683147
>If anyone found out about dons past
But like 6 people did. Peggy, Campbell, Berry, Bert, Megan, and more I'm pretty sure. Nothing happened

>>80683981

Would be cool, Halt and Catch Fire was supposed to be it's spiritual successor but it never grabbed me.

>>80684086
He got chin implants. It's explicitly implied, how'd you miss it?

>>80684062
Also Faye who was in a position to hurt him if she so chose. And the teacher from 3 right?

>>80684062
>Peggy

Wtf when did Peggy find out? Did I miss something

>>80681269
Water leakage, clearly.

Just watched The Suitcase w/ Lizzie's commentary, super comfy and a little emotional.

>>80684130
how and when??

>>80681269
too many people thinking about him

>>80684130
How could he get chin implants in the fucking 50's

>>80684170
That's not water, he was addressing the secretaries on the other side of the room.

>>80684086

Yeah more people mentioned him. Can't find a recent picture of him but he is 19 now.

>>80684218
In one episode, Peggy ask him "Did you just get chin implants?" and Don screams at her "That's what the money is for!"

>>80684278
The same way Peggy could get an abortion in the late trimester?

>>80684278
The same way Harry could get a Alphadectomy.

>>80682948
It's honestly getting annoying seeing all of these "money can't buy happiness" bullshit shows. It can't buy happiness but if you aren't a retard with your money it can alleviate probably 90% of the stress you'll face. Plus his character was a creative director for an advertising agency, meaning there's no fame that goes with it, and no paparazzi or fans bothering him. I'd take that deal any day. I honestly think the "money can't buy happiness" thing is a meme to stop as many people from trying to become actors or writers or musicians because they believe it'll leave them jaded and hollow inside.

>>80685450
>I honestly think the "money can't buy happiness" thing is a meme to stop as many people from trying to become actors or writers or musicians

You must be really naive to think musicians, writers or actors make a lot of money.

A real Mad Man.

>>80684147
The final episode, Person to Person. He says he stole a man's identity when confessing to her on the phone.

>>80681269
constantly living in waist high water

>>80687404
Oh yeah. For some reason the last season doesn't stand out in my memory like the other seasons.

>>80681269
Self loathing and an overwhelming desire for validation from a mother figure.

>>80683464
What did Ken ever do wrong?

>>80688658
He kept winking at everyone under that patch.

>>80681269
sociopath with no real talent other than being a believable scumbag owing entirely to the halo effect his looks give him.

despite being portrayed as an "icon of masculinity" he's really just the male version of the worthless dumb blond whore that gets by on her looks until even the mildest of challenges causes slight introspection that makes her realize she's a hollow shell of a human being with no complexities beyond the facade she's constructed (aka the entire last two seasons of madmen)

>no loyalty of any kind; no true higher values
>coward
>no hobbies, unique insight on any topic, or genuine expertise
>alcoholic
>socially manipulative
>contributes nothing to society; completely leeches off of/promotes vapid consumerism

he has almost no character arc at all. from start to finish he's someone that should've died in Vietnam as the world would be a better place for it.

His entire job is to create desire or dissatisfaction within the consumer's life, and fittingly he is thwarted by boundless desire. Even when he gets what he wants, it's fleeting or he begins to see flaws.

People complain that finding sympathy for Don is hard because he is so unhappy in his success, but this is the very nature of success and the prototypical successful person under capitalism, which has been observed since colonial times: the best participants are those who are permanently unhappy so that they continue being productive.

>>80681269

Physically incapable of being happy.

What real talent do any of these clowns have?

>Don makes stuff up and people buy it because he's handsome and talks in a dramatic voice
>Roger gets drunk and chats with clients
>Pete makes phone calls or whatever
>Bert sits in his office and would probably browse /a/ if he were alive today
>Peggy bitches and moans
>Joan's job at the company was literally to be a whore
>Ken tap dances

The only ones with any talent were Sal and Stan. At least they were good at drawing.

>>80682948
>>80685450
>>80689185
this, basically if you watch the show Don has a fucked up backstory that he never got over so there's no money women or prestige that can fill that hole. I think it was daddy issues or some shit.

also most people who make it to the top of the social ladder are broken mentally one way or another.

Why did they write out Ginsberg so abruptly and badly and scrap the relationship with his father.

Not that anon, but the worst thing Ken did was take that job at Dow to make Pete's life harder.

He really isn't the bad of a guy.

>>80690205
I think they had bigger plans for him, but had way too many balls in the air already so they had to fast forward on his plot before the season was over.

>>80683464
Stan wasn't a bad person. He was just a moron for falling in love with Peggy.

No he didn't.

Was anyone kind of hoping Betty fucked what's his face when he came over all grown up and she basically got wet just looking at him?

>>80681269
I'm halfway through season 4 and wondering the same thing. Everyone in this show is a piece of shit except the characters they've dropped (Sal and Paul)

>>80697162
Paul is a self-righteous piece of shit too, although it helps once you see his appearance in season 5 and then watch the whole show over. Ken is the only pure character in the whole show, although I liked Sal too.

>>80697162
>implying paul was dropped
>implying paul was a good person
he's nauseating

>>80697286
Paul is dropped when they start the new firm at the end of season 3 and has on cameo appearance over the next four seasons

>>80697341
yeah I should've written that better, the first half was meant to be a joke with his hari krishna robes attached, but I didn't want to go find an image and then didn't scrap it
