Walter became dangerous once he developed his alter ego, Heisenberg. Certainly Gus underestimated him as a threat. But Walter spent most of his life as benign—he needed to develop cancer to feel his anger at lost opportunities. Walt was dangerous as Heisenberg when he felt thwarted and desperate.
The second viewpoint is that Jesse Pinkman is actually the main character of the Breaking Bad franchise. Although the original series puts a lot of focus on Walt, Breaking Bad is actually about Jesse being manipulated by another bad father figure, being sucked into a cycle of violence and crime by his former teacher.

In a world full of disappointing finales to great shows, it's a relief that Breaking Bad has one of the best finales of all time.
WALTER WHITE: He's An Actual Scientist
While Gus might have been a better businessman than Walter, the latter was considered a rockstar in his own field and is generally acknowledged as a genius in chemistry. In fact, Breaking Bad implied that Walter's smarts could have netted him a Nobel Prize.
Walter White was a greater genius, in terms of intellect, but Fring was a far more effective drug lord. Fring set up a world-class chain of distribution, married to a German conglomerate, played the Cartel, then buried its kings, built the super lab and had the business savvy to run this thing in perpetuity.
Gustavo "Gus" Fring is a fictional character portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito in the crime drama series Breaking Bad and its prequel Better Call Saul.

Walter White could have been played by Matthew Broderick instead of Bryan Cranston. Bryan Cranston won overwhelming critical acclaim — and four Emmys — for his masterful portrayal of Walter White in AMC's "Breaking Bad," but believe it or not, he almost didn't get the part.
Over the years, Gilligan has cited cinematic masterpieces such as The Treasure of Sierra Madre and Once Upon a Time in the West as sources of inspiration, but Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather is probably the most significant influence on Breaking Bad.
Walt Betrayed Flynn
After Flynn realized who his father was and what he had done, he hated him so much that he wouldn't even talk to him. His immense hurt could be seen in the final phone call between the two.
