People that hate Skylar are idiots. If they hate the actress, they're even worse.

Being hateable doesn't mean you're wrong. Obviously Skyler was acting in her family's best interest and walt was a psycho POS but she played such an unlikeable character.

There are plenty of likeable "evil" characters and plenty of unlikeable "good" ones. People act like if you hate Skyler you somehow don't get the show, but no, I understand her character just fine, it's just that she's insufferable about everything.

Regardless, hating the actress for the character is smooth brain shit

I empathized with Skyler more than anyone else on the show. I was constantly asking myself what I would do in her position.

I feel like if someone found her insufferable, it was because you either agreed with Walt or were pissed that her character prevented shenanigans you wanted to see. I'll admit I fell into the latter category in the first season or two but by the end, she rocked. If neither describes you, feel free to explain why you thought she was insufferable

I think she was one of the most realistic and best-written characters in the entire show. I also don't think she got/gets nearly enough hate to even be a part this meme

Shit isnt black and white like that. Disliking Skylar does NOT mean you like or agree with Walt. I hated both characters

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't imply it was black and white. Why did you hate her?

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

It's been a long while since I've watched breaking bad, so I cant fully remember the details, but I guess generally she was annoying and I didnt like her personality. The only character of the main two families I liked was Hank.
