Anyone else agree? For those who don't know, Metastasis was the title given to the Spanish adaptation of Breaking Bad.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not dissing BB. It's arguably the best TV drama of all time and one of my personal favorites.
But Metastasis works better as a title, thematically, I think, because it touches on the story's core theme of transformation and it ties back to Walt's cancer as the original catalyst for his transformation. Plus it sounds more like chemistry terminology. I've personally always preferred titles with 1) multiple meanings and 2) thematic relevance rather than just narrative relevance. [For instance, First Blood is a much better title than Rambo or John Rambo; and The Distance might've been a better title for the first Rocky movie but we probably wouldn't have gotten a whole series under that name. Not without a name change like The Distance: Rocky, Part 2 anyhow!]
Anyway, I've rambled long enough. Thoughts?
