SkavauWhat's a character who was meant to be liked in a show, but who everyone ended up hating?
inb4_FoundTheVeganHaven’t seen it posted yet, but I wanna get ahead of the inevitable mention…
Skylar White went above and beyond for Walt, she was a queen put in an impossible situation where she did the best anyone could’ve. People hate on Sky but however she was (just another) woman trapped with a violent and dangerous man trying to stay afloat to protect her kids.
If you think Sky was the worst part of Breaking Bad, then you didn’t understand the show.
Please feel free to correct me because it will give me new details to watch for when I eventually binge the show again, but I don’t really like Skylar because she’s boring. Like I get you with people hating her because they think Tyler Durden is the hero of the story, but she feels like a serviceable cardboard wife to fill a niche in the plot.
Marie has fun details like her entire life being coated in purple for absolutely no reason, or how annoying she is. Lydia has anxiety, cowardice, and a lack of morals to make her interesting. So why did they make Skylar so boring? I have to assume it was on purpose because they can obviously write women.
She’s not boring, dude, she’s simply a decent human being in a dark story full of evil, sad and twisted people.
I hate that people hated her because she was always the ONLY one I related to.
I mean, she gave a passionless birthday handy while reading a magazine. Pretty boring unless that’s what you’re into.
A persons character isn’t defined by their sexual relationship with their partner
Your point falls flat when you see Kim. Different shows but Kim is also like something you described but she’s not boring.
I agree there’s a unnecessary hate boner for Skylar in bb fanbase but her character is not that interesting. Even Walter is a pussy 99% of the show but for some reason he’s portrayed as some tuff sigma male xD. Unrelated, we are still here talking about these characters after more than a decade. Vince Gilligan is truly talented.
The thing I love about Walter is that in his head he’s this hardened criminal genius, but in reality he waffles between being a bland nothingburger of a man and a huge asshole. The sigma Heisenberg character is a completely fictional alter-ego that he consistently fails to embody. It’s unfortunate that there’s such a widespread culture of seeing toxic characters as aspirational badasses because characters like this should be a lesson in being more self-aware about your own moral code and how your behavior affects others.
I agree. It’s also quite funny how the meme started. The sigma meme started as a Satire while also being a tribute to old movies, then became the whole mess and bow it’s back to being satire again. Gotta love the internet.
