So what the FUCK was his deal? Poor babby didnt have a daddy?
So what the FUCK was his deal? Poor babby didnt have a daddy?
He became disillusioned with his life because of his identity crisis, but also because he was the architect of a lot of the staples in society. His whole spiel about love he gives to Rachel in the pilot more or less tells you he adopted a sort of existentialism because of his profession.
>Mad Men
>Ad Men
woa
biggest soi character i can think of desu
>didnt have a daddy?
Didn’t have a mommy.
Don always had the dumbest objections to ads when he was in a shitty mood. Didnt he reject that one because he said it made him think the guy drowned?
his problem was bad writing
No, I think he actually greenlit this ad and it was Stan and the company representatives that had concerns that it was rooted in suicide. It completely went over Don's head.
kys, plebian phone poster
what were they thinking?
A Star is Born came out during that time and the main guy killed himself that way.
Don literally ripped of the ending for the ad (remember he was an AVID movie-goer) but did it subconsciously.
>Why would a man be...from Greece?
was never loved as a child and needed to be validated by beautiful women to feel loved/whole
She could have fixed him
He had a shitty childhood but the culture of the time led him to believe that if he just kept all that shit to himself and focused on climbing the ladder he would eventually find success and happiness would be sure to follow, only for him to discover that he was still miserable even after becoming a millionaire with a perfect family. That's the entire premise of the show.
Recently we went to Africa, where one of the local tribesmen told me a story about a coconut, and a banana.
Women can't fix anything.
The Man needs God. That's what he lacked without God everything is meaningless.
Youre almost there....we are the gods. And thats the dilemma of our entire history. Because we have the might but not the wisdom.
One day one will come who has both.
did you miss the part where he grew up being abused and molested in a whore house

incel trash "philosophy"
behave tranny there's no need to seethe every time someone speaks about God
He's just a narcissist. In the literal sense.
That's the basic, damn near spelled out for you in the promo, issue all of Zig Forumss fav shows and characters. Breaking Bad. The Sopranos. Mad Men most obviously. A show about a guy that has a false sense of identity he's trying desperately to convince others is real. Usually very successful but they can't see or believe their success belongs to them because of their constant background identity crisis. Can't connect to the women in their lives without scaring then away.
Zig Forums can't see how obviously narcissistic the characters are, even when the writers directly show it, because the average 20-35 unfulfilled user of Zig Forums is also a narcissist.
How do we fix our narcissistic personalities?
It's named after the famous street of advertising Madison Avenue
she could have but he would have dropped her anyway as soon as he were forced to confront any sort of her own flaws even if Megan hadn't come along. i know this because i'm the same kind of person.
whatever happend to gary coopah?
Everybody nowadays will literally blame anything but alcohol intake because otherwise they'd be forced to reflect on their own substance issues.
Don was the creator of that ad and tried to push it through the client's pushback. You need to watch the show without diddling your phone this time around, user.
You literally couldnt be more wrong. Don has layers upon layers.
lmao
