As Breaking Bad progresses, both Walter White and the Aztek undergo significant transformations. Walter evolves from a law-abiding teacher to the notorious drug kingpin Heisenberg, while the Aztek goes from being a family car to symbolizing the chaos that comes with running a drug empire.
Throughout the series, the car is involved in numerous crashes, with its windshield breaking on several occasions. This transformation of the Aztek, marked by its iconic green color, becomes a powerful symbol of crime and deception, mirroring Walter’s shift from a mild-mannered teacher to a feared figure.
The Aztek, once practical, now visually represents Walter’s descent into illicit activities.
