He doesn’t really BECOME a bad person so much as get places in situations that more clearly illustrate that he is a bad person.
He blackmails a former highschool student of his to cook meth, murders two dudes, and decides to commit suicide by cop in the FIRST EPISODE of the show. The series goes on to do little more than present him increasingly extreme opportunities to do something horrible to benefit himself and he never fails to do it. He is CONSISTENTLY terrible for the entire show until literally the last episode. We are given increasingly clear evidence of who Walt really is. The journey isn’t Walt’s its the audiences and that of all the other characters around him. Walt really stays the same, he just gets better at being a criminal. It is everyone ELSE that changes around him.
