I regularly do the same thing lmao. Do people forget Walter SA’s her as well at one point?? Or do we think it’s one of those “well he didn’t actually do the thing so it didn’t actually count” situations 😬😬 crime media problem.
I love typical toxic male movies so much, and I love talking about them with other men. It started with Scarface (dude, he personally murders his fucking sister and best friend! And then gets shot to death, and even if he lives, he’d have lost everything!) and has lately wound up in Fight Club (dude did you clock out of the dialogue like 15 minutes in and just wait for the next fight??)
The conversation usually ends with me being told I didn’t understand the film lol
I think the things with Skyler is that she clocked in as unlikeable and self centered too early on to ever be likeable or to garner sympathy so that, even when she was in a sympathetic position later, it wasn’t enough to get anyone on her side.
Early on, when he was going through cancer and struggling, ‘we’ knew what he was up to, but from the perspective she was provided she was portrayed as unreasonably bitchy and self centered.
By the time it would have made sense for the audience to turn on Walt, it was far easier to look for a more sympathetic character and leave her hanging in the wind. It’s not that anyone thought Walt was the good guy compared to her, it’s just that she wasn’t in the running, she was always just going to be an antagonist.
I hate this, especially living in New Jersey. Too many people love Tony Soprano and miss the entire fucking point of the show. He’s in therapy because he’s a piece of shit that refuses to see that plain fact.
I hated Skyler, but that just shows what a great actor Anna Gunn is.
Same. I felt the same for her character in Deadwood. She’s an amazing actress to inspire such loathing
