Do people really hate Skyler that much?
>>215165795She fucked Ted.
>>215165802Yup. Cheating whore and hypocrite
>>215165795>nooo dude a woman must support her husband doing heinous illegal crimeswow chuds are pathetic
>>215165795Ofc, Walter should have killed her and his retarded child.
>>215165828All Walter did was produce a substance that people voluntarily brought; everything else that was "bad" was done for his and his family's survival.Stop being a Drug War boot licker.
>>215165795Are these guys media illiterate or what? She's VERY supportive after she has a completely understandable freakout at the start. >but she's not as good at it as le HEISENBURG OK so?
>has to specify character is femaleWhy are incels like this...
>>215165795>the man is the one who needs steadinessAre you gay?? Do you need a dick in the butt too??
>>215165802
>>215165795>a female character It's a charactress.
>>215165795the resting bitch face didn't help
When I watched the series I came in with the expectation that she was going to be a waste of itme, a spike in the back of the characters like Jack Bauer's daughter...but oyu know what, no, they did a great job, she made a mistake with Ted, but again is not like the protagonist is a saint, it felt like a believable flaw, she supported him with finding a legit business with the car cleaning, she found the and instructed the guy to make sure they could get a good price on it, she wanted to isolate Walter because she was understandibly scared of what he was doing, so, of all the bad wives characters, I don't think she is one of them.
>>215165845The show literally portrays multiple times how drugs destroy families. The addict of a drug isn't the only one who suffers from their addiction, it's their family and their friends. Why do libertarians have the brain capacity of an edgy teenager?
>>215165795>She ruined his empireI mean he was a criminal who caused immense suffering. She should have called the police.
Early Skyler was definitely an awful character and deserved the hate.
>>215165828>nooo dude cheating on your husband with a clown who embezzles his company's money and commits tax fraud is good
>>215165976>won't someone think of the children!boot licker talking point to take away your god given rights. Might as well ban alcohol, gambling, smoking, and fast food while you're at it.
>>215165937She didn't help my mommy issues one bit only got worse after every rewatch Used to hate her but compared to actual modern women she's pretty goated
>woman doesn't want her dying husband to make meth>OH MY GAWD WOMEN HAVE SUCH HIGH STANDARDS
>>215165984Good post. I agree with what you say about Kim and although I felt the same way as you describe when I watched the show it didn't occur to me until you brought it up that Kim is in a way a redemption for Bravo Vince after his handling of Skyler a decade earlier. Skyler was a poorly handled Carmella without the complexity. Kim was something else entirely and far more nuanced than either.
>>215165795This nigga should watch The Sopranos, Carm is so much worse than Skyler.
Growing up is realizing that Walt was the bad guy of the TV show.Obviously, if you think Walt was the good guy, you'd find Skyler to be an annoying bitch. When you realize how evil Walt was, Skyler stops being so annoying.
>>215165795I don’t mind her and it’s obvious that she was a victim who didn’t deserve to be hated. At the same time she’s kind of a boring character and not very memorable. It feels like the writers had no vision for her character beyond serving as a prop to degrade and mutate in Walter’s periphery as he became a worse person.
>>215166228Carm was a good wife, the fact which Tony admitted. >Tony is sick, she cares>Tony is wounded, she cares>Tony has cops on his ass, she caresSkyler on the other hand:>On no! My husband got cancer, but he doesn't pay me much attention because he is busy providing for us so I will flirt with my coworker while I'm still pregnant and then fuck him!
>>215165976>LE HECKIN SHOWERINO LITERALLY SHOWS HOW....
>>215165802/thread
>>215165802I hated that cunt, at least Carmela Soprano was discreet with her whorish affair and knew the what she signed up for. Skylar was an unlikable shrew.
>>215165795she left a very bad first impression with the half-assed ebay handjob
>>215165976You're looking at the addicts like they're victims of circumstances beyond their control and not as self-destructive cancers who brought it on themselves. Empathy cannot be infinitely extended, especially to people who willingly destroy themselves for fleeting euphoria.
>>215165976But enough about alcohol
>>215165795>current year>still watching Breaking Trash over the superior TV kino that they clearly ripped offPic related did everything BB did but better in every way.
>>215165795>>215166533Skylar is probably the worst written character in all of media. Not only does she have more bad than good traits (which ruins immersion, because there’s no way anyone would actually marry her), but most importantly, all of her scenes are so BOOOOORING - they always ruin the pace of the series.
>>215166332Not to mention the whole>Hey family members, just gonna drown myself in the pool real quick right in front of all of you, no one try to stop me.I fugged ted was far from her only woman moment.
>>215165795I don't hate her. I just think a man deserves more than a disinterested handjob from his wife on his birthday.
>>215166257To be fair they couldn't really do much with her character that wouldn't have totally turned the show on its head. If she figured it out earlier and told Hank, the show would've been over. The only other possibility I can think of is her becoming complicit earlier and helping with the drug dealing somehow, which would honestly be unrealistic for a female character without a competitive spirit and the show needed her as a voice of reason.
>>215166585>doesn't give him real bacon on his birthday breakfast and young, healthy Walt Jr. has to eat the fake bullshit too>Skyler hosts an intervention to make Walter get treatment>Walter knows he's a dead man and wants to die with dignity>based Hank agrees with him and Skyler seethesI became more sympathetic towards Skyler when she was freaking out over Walter being a criminal but she was already colossal bitch before she even knew about anything.
Fun fact: Anna Gunn voiced Ariel in the Legacy of Kain series
>>215166718Maybe if she had been a better wife he wouldn't have become a murderous drug kingpin. I've never been married, is it really so hard to treat your spouse like a human being?
>>215165795Skyler looks like a tranny.
>>215166228You're fucking retarded
>>215166770apparently it is, I mean really. almost got married and the treatment was absurd
>>215166816This.
>>215165828That's not the argument made, it's that she lays the blame for all her own choices on Walt. It's what makes her so emblematic about what people hate about women, they expect credit and respect for things they neither earned nor accomplished, while refusing to take accountability and admit fault for their choices when those choices have consequences.Multiple times, she had the option to walk away. Multiple times she had the option not to give in to her own selfish wants that would hurt the family's future. Multiple times she had the option to make a sacrifice and she didn't. And by the end, she's reduced to making ridiculous gestures (like walking into the pool in the middle of a social gathering) as if she was a victim and not a willing participant through the entire series. She treated everyone she interacts awfully through the entire series.
friendly reminder skylar did nothing wrong
>>215166257How the fuck is she a victim when she insisted on getting involved, she knowingly and willfully spent and gave away the money Walt earned and she went ahead and participated in tax fraud, corporate fraud, money laundering, blackmail, intimidation tactics and more. People mention how she slept with Ted because of how it affected Walt, but let's put that aside and just look at how she treats Ted. Ted was clearly in love with her, while she uses him as a tool to get back at Walt. She manipulates, threatens, lies to and for him, and treats him like a child at times. And then finally hires someone to force him into doing what she wants ending with him paralyzed. She deserves to be hated because of how she treats everyone else in the show. Can you name a single character she was kind to, treated with respect or love or any other positive attribute? Because she didn't with Walt, she didn't with her son, she didn't with Hank, or Marie, or Ted, or Saul or anyone else she has an interaction with.
>>215166953We get it, you hate women.
i usually hate women, but honestly i didn't mind skyler at all. i dunno why.marie on the hand was wretched
It's a disordere related to /tv/ users. Most people understand Skyler was the sanest individual in the family
>>215165795It's all in that faggot's name. lolOnly incel contrarians see Walt as a good guy and Skyler as some kind of harpy in the wrong.
>>215165883lol, creepy
>>215165795forgot the name of this phenomenon but it has to do with it being relatable, like that one bitch from harry potter, people hated her more than the literal lord of darkness himself
>>215165976>literally portraysIsn't a portrayal a recreation?
>>215166329Skylar didn't sign up for this shit
>>215167073I don't because thankfully most women don't act like they are so often portrayed in films and shows like Breaking Bad. Most women actually put a premium on caring for others, on putting others first, and that instinct gets taken advantage of by politicians and the media to push some really dumb shit.
>>215167093When Hank got shot she was being such an entitled bitch to everyone. And the shoplifting was cringe.
why am i always the one to point out that it's strongly suggested that skylar's smoking while walter jr was in the womb is why he's all fucked up. she's objectively a bad person and frankly if walt jr wasn't a retard walt may have done what he did
>the photos that killed skyler apologists
>>215166228Carmela is supportive and a good wife despite being a terrible person. Skylar is a terrible person and a terrible wife. It’s probably because she cheated on Walt and gave the money away mostly iirc
>>215165795Well they made it clear that Skyler was the consolation prize as Walt wanted the jewess from Grey Matter the whole time.
>>215165828S1 episode 1
>>215165828stfu she objectively suckcs
>>215165828>high profile criminals can show up at the house any second>keeping your kids there instead of getting the fuck out of dodge
>>215165795Walt is the reason Skylar is such a nagging bitch to begin with.He sold away his legacy with Grey Matter and turned into a bitter weak spined bitch. Then he broke bad and became a drug dealer and murderer. Walt deserved it.
>>215165828that's exactly what she does though
>>215167120well yeah, voldemort was cool.
>>215165795Stealing 600 thousand dollars from your drug kingpin husband, who you've complained about being cagey nervous and scared for the last 4 years, to give to your tax avoiding retard manstress is the single dumbest thing any character in the show doesNot only does she face zero consequences for almost getting the entire family killed, faggots online will say she was also scared. When I'm scared you know what I don't do? I don't empty my shared bank account to pay gambling debts.
Like most things in the show, Walt's suffering is self-inflicted. He settled for Woody Harrelson in drag when he could've stayed with Gretchen and lived the good life. The moment he found out Skyler cheated with Ted, Walt should've retired to Mexico and bought himself a hot latina.
>>215165976The responsibility lies with the buyers. Gale had the correct mindset
>>215167276Kim is the only well written "strong" female in all of television
>>215165976Skyler smoked while pregnant and made her son a cripple. And then she tried to do the same thing to her daughter.
>>215165795I hated her more.
>>215167587Whomst
>>215168469you must be insecure in real life
>>215168469Why???Kim was based
>>215165802Source?
>>215168469literally the perfect woman
>>215167257Carmela cheated on Tony and stole money from him.
Jesse is a far more hateful character
>>215168469>>215168667I assume it’s because the crash out is far more severe. She’s perfect until she isn’t
>>215168469Kim was flawed but loyal. She also took accountability for her actions in the end.
>>215165828Why didn’t she report him to the police? She’s a hypocritical nagging cunt.
>>215168746Kim's crashout was justified and she actually held herself accountable
>>215165828She was shit before he even started committing crimes.
>>215165795I've just finished re-watching BB for the first time since 2013. Walt was much more unlikable than I remembered, and Jesse, Skyler, Marie all more sympathetic characters (I really didn't care for any of them on the first watch). Hank's still the MVP though
>>215165795She is a fun killer. And contrary to what twitterfags might want you to think, most people consume media for entertainment and not get le messege.
>>215165795>shitty mother>shitty wife>birthed a retard probably to her irresponsible behaviour>cheater
>>215167587who might this lady be anon
>>215166574>Not only does she have more bad than good traits (which ruins immersion, because there’s no way anyone would actually marry her)How fucking sheltered are you? Men marry horrible selfish bitches every day.
Okay, I am going to address the elephant in the room: she is ugly.
>>215168876Or worse, some nice women turn into monsters after some time
>>215165828well she supported walt when he was stacking millions and also illegally supported Ted too up until he became a crippledfunny how that works out say it with me nowSHE WAS A WHOOREEEE
>>215168896
>>215167130>And the shoplifting was cringe.What was even the point of that? it led to absolutely nothing. Literally served zero purpose for the narrative.
>>215165795Jesus Christ why the same fucking topic every fucking day? Do you zoomies have dementia from tiktok?
>>215168896man face syndrome, she looks like a tranny
>>215165795She made her family eat turkey bacon and frozen yogurt, so it's settled.This is the classic case of tv producers make an annoying character annoying on purpose and then chide the audience for finding them annoying.Like a reverse Homelander. Homelander is glamorous, handsome, the most powerful being in his world, they do everything to make him cool, and then the chide audience for thinking he's cool.It's about the engagement.
>>215168936because tv and movies suck now.some one make a wire thread and a sopranos thread
>>215168965>This is the classic case of tv producers make an annoying character annoying on purpose and then chide the audience for finding them annoying.I don't think thats quite fair. They made her annoying on purpose so you'd have sympathy for Walt and be more willing to follow him on his breaking bad journey.As the show goes on the roles slowly invert, as Walt does more heinous shit and Skylar becomes more victimized. It's not a straight line but it gets there.
>>215166161>if we ban meth we have to ban fast food in order to be ideologically consistentlolberts in a nutshell
>>215168965>She made her family eat turkey bacon and frozen yogurt,Is Turkey bacon that bad?I thought it was tofu bacon or something.
>>215169065Yes, but unironically true. If you want the government to be responsible for what harmful substances you willingly choose to take in the privacy of your own home, then why should there be a line?
>>215165795I love bimbo skyler
>>215169065I consider most libertarians to be retards but there is some truth to this, which is that once you establish a precedent for state intervention in matters of individual agency the state will continue to encroach upon that agency unless actively prevented from doing so. Now as it so happens I actually think some restrictions on agency are necessary for a functioning society but the problem is currently you really are seeing absurd state encroachment (I live in the uk) so this shit is very fucking real
