People hated Skyler more than Todd??? I thought she was annoying and a spoilsport for admonishing my, and the rest of the audience’s, desire to watch a meth empire power fantasy show, but most hated??
Different kind of hate, I think. I hate Todd, but I still enjoy having him on the show and am curious / interested in his plot lines.
Skyler, conversely, just makes me wish she wasn’t in the scene. She’s not enjoyable to hate.
Skyler’s role was integral. It was problematic for some who wanted to see more absurd violence and drug-fueled antics. Walter had a whole-ass family that he abandoned to become a crime lord. Yes, the story an indictment is health care in the u.s. Skyler was a human being whose life was ruined, and her kids’ lives were hit
Edit also, fuck Todd, but he was also a compelling character
Skyler was better at being a drug kingpin than Walter. Walter should have stayed in the (meth) kitchen, and let her make the important decisions.
She learned from his missteps.
meanwhile, Walter just never learns
Learning is what Walter did his whole life. He needed to learn, to have contingencies. When you have a death sentence hanging above your head, contingencies stop to matter.
Walter truly only learned. But Heisenberg no longer cared about it. Walter was a genius chemist. You become that by learning every possible second. Walter learned. Heisenberg? He just did.
I feel like the reason is obvious. The only thing people hate more than Nazis is Karens.
She’s not a Karen though. Her behaviour is perfectly reasonable given the situation she’s in.
Her introduction is her giving her husband an unenthusiastic handjob for his birthday. I can see why she was the most hated.
I kind of just assumed that it was a typical depiction of straight people having sex. Nonetheless, an unenthusiastic handjob is a pretty rubbish reason to hate someone.
we’ve all had unenthusiastic handjobs, they’re the worst.
I’ve had decent handys from methed out hookers better than what she did.
