This bothers me about the Walter/Olivia/Peter dynamic

[Rebe]

This really bothers me, how come Walter and Olivia get more sympathy than Peter does? Peter just found out his father lied to him, he found out he was from the alternate universe, he found out he was stolen from his real mom and dad but people are saying, "oh poor Walter and Olivia" I mean, Walter and Olivia bought this upon themselves when they kept it from him all this time. Olivia should have told Peter from the get go when she saw him glimmer. She could have told him, "Peter, I saw you glimmer". At first Peter will be in denial but will go to Walter for confirmation.

But that's only in my world since no character will be perfect.

I don't understand why peter is considered the bad guy here. I read some reviews and some of them say how selfish Peter is. For the past year, peter has always put his feelings on hold just to keep Walter and Olivia above water but does anybody care for Peter?

What about his wants? his needs? This is where the show needs some work. We need more of what peter wants in life. Peter is a wonderful character when he is with Walter and Olivia but Peter needs some space.
Why is so wrong for peter to be on his own? Why does he need Walter and Olivia's permission to go anywhere?

If Peter is upset enough to keep away from walter and olivia, then let him.
His life has revolved around them for so long, why is it wrong for Peter to be like, "you know what, I need my space, I need to clear my head".

There is more to Peter than being Walter's right hand man and Olivia's friend and confidant.

Whoa, who said Peter is being villainized? I guess what Peter did could be considered selfish, but it's also more than understandable. Actually, I'd be more worried about him if he hadn't gotten the heck outta Dodge.

Walter and Olivia are getting sympathy because they are two of the leads, and leads get sympathy.

Where are these reviews?

I know, right? Where are these reviews, because they don't seem at all fair. I've had one friend say he's overreacting, but when I explained, she took that back.

o_0 Really? I was actually expecting him to seem a lot angrier/depressed than he really did. I mean I think I get why he's not, I was just expecting something else. But he's certainly not overreacting to finding out he's been lied to his whole life.

I know, right? XD I was pretty surprised when she said that too.

You know what, after this episode, I don't believe for a second that Peter's still angry. I think he's just lost. His entire adult life has been a lie. He thought he knew who he was, what he was meant to do, but that too was a lie. When he called Broyles, he didn't sound angry at all, even when talking about Walter.

I don't think that the users here hate Peter. I haven't read anything like that.

Ofcourse Peter has the right to be angry. Noone said he is the bad guy.

Agree with Monte! No-one is saying that Peter is a bad guy and it is normal to act the way Peter did...

I think Peter overreacted in the respect that he didn't let Walter explain what happened. Peter had the right to be upset, but I think if he heard what happened, and how even his mother wanted him to keep him, he could be lost and confused and so on,, but he should see Walters intentions.

[Rebe]

Even if Walter did explain it to Peter, Walter will paint himself as this huge hero who saved his life. Also, if its a just of case of "I saved your life, Peter but your mother wanted to keep you", why did Walter keep it from him all these years?

It also doesn't help either that peter found out the hard way. Not to mention, his mother had commited suicide which also fueled his anger.
