Our Burgers Make Yours Look Like Beef Wellington

Best character in fallout, period

Wiktoria Goryńska "Dappled Angora V", 1935, linocut.

and the disconnect between them is made plain through small, but notable actions throughout the show. on more than one occasion, wirt leaves greg behind (one time after “jokingly” telling the frog cops to take greg instead), doesnt seem that bothered when he goes off by himself, is slow to humor him but quick to pass the buck onto him, and just generally, is so busy wallowing in his own fear and misery that he allows greg to get into some really dangerous situations for a pure lack of concern. the only time we see wirt really get angry at greg is in the flashback scene, and because greg was trying to HELP him. to really rub salt in the wound, that scene is immediately followed by wirt jumping out of the way of the train - and leaving greg behind.

thats not to say that wirt really wanted greg to get hurt or anything like that. i think its more that wirt doesnt truly understand the position hes in, nor what the woodsman told him in the first episode - “you are the elder child; YOU are responsible for you and your brothers’ actions!” - until greg is taken by the beast. greg is willing to sacrifice himself for wirt without a second thought, but wirt would never have done the same because he is self-absorbed to such an extent that he doesnt understand his responsibility - and failure - to protect greg until its almost too late.
