Angela Gunn should not be getting death threats. However, that happens to almost any big star or KZfaqr on the internet, Boogie2988 gets those all the time. I never excused Walt for what he did, but what you are doing is just playing devils, advocate. Skyler is a terrible wife that could have easily consulted with Hank to trap Walt when she puts all the pieces together in season 3. She incites more drama when she decides to fuck her boss which muddy's the river even more. She argues about being morally correct and rational but that is not the case with the decisions she makes in the show. Most of her choices were based on her own emotional impulses that would benefit her most of the time. This is not a question of sexuality or gender. I hate the bullshit political excuse card for the reason of not liking characters like Rey and Skyler White. The show sometimes pressures the viewer to accept her morality and her being a perfect victim but she is far from it! Holly and Walter Jr. are victims, not Skyler. She's an abettor and you should not try to rationalize either of them for the judgments they make in the show. I liked Mike, Jesse, Walter Jr., and at first Hank but he becomes a douchebag as the series goes on. Hell, there's a dinner scene where Walt was not around. Hank asks her why is she keeping Walt from the kids which she replies, "Its none of your business." That shows she is not restricting Walt she's allowing him in my eyes to walk over her. They are both great flawed characters but saying she's a victim is stupid in my opinion.

Huge respect to Anna Gunn, but I despise skylar. She is the reason why Walt is the way he is. She is an awful wife before Walt broke bad, always nags and complains, dominates the relationship and emasculated Walt and made him feel weak and worthless for not providing. This is the problem, when you emasculate a man, you have to things, a depressed and semi-suicidal man, or someone dangerous as Walter white. While Walter is an awful person and a horrible human being, but skylar is not any better, she is just overall annoying and a cheater, smokes while pregnant and while those didn’t violate the war crimes like Walter did, her actions are far more offensive because it’s not expected for a woman to act that way, but for a man like Walter and his position with his wife and his overall life of being a loser for 51 years that has no power, it’s expected for Walt to have his ego inflated because he never had that level of power in his life. I hope this makes sense, and if you disagree, it’s fine. But overall, skylar is the worst type of woman and people like her are the reason why men are either depressed or become unhinged later

Walt is easily the most evil character in the show by the end. However just because he's messed up doesn't mean Skyler is an innocent victim. She cheats, commits tax fraud for the guy she's sleeping with, helps launder drug money, is complicit in all of Walt's actions and honestly I don't think this video even pays attention to smoking whilst pregnant, which in itself is abhorrent. I don't think it's fair to say Walt is the bad guy and everyone else is completely good. Marie is a hypocrite who claims morality yet she's a thief and a total gossip with no self control, and got her sister arrested over the tiara. Hank has some racist tendencies, belittles Walter quite a bit especially at first and covers up Marie's crimes despite being in law enforcement. He also assaults Jesse for what was essentially a prank call, though I do understand why that would piss him off. Not to mention Elliott and Gretchen who more or less screwed Walt over and then years later distanced themselves from him to save public face. With the notable exception of Walt Jr every major character not involved directly in Walts empire all do shady and illegal/immoral things. And the show is trying to show the nuance that nobody in the story did the right thing.

Skyler isn’t always right. She ends up breaking bad herself. But she actually feels guilt over it. Walter kills people with his own hands, and he feels not only justified, but invigorated by it. In season 5, where she says she can’t brush it off like shit happens, the way Walt does? That’s probably the key difference between the two of them.

Skyler had never really made the conscious decision to Break Bad and was almost forced by the circumstances her husband put her through, the literal fear of jail and Walt's messy attempt to be a drug dealer. I feel like when Skyler actually stopped helping Walt is when she gained some agency as a character and did what she wanted. Unfortunately she was blamed for it

Even Mike, in the profession he was in, wasn't as inhumane as Meth Damon (I cannot for the life of me remember his real name).

I think it's more about her attitude from the very begining to the end (bar the last scene she has), to be precise, when we see the couple skyler and watler, we don't see a happy couple, we see a control freak of a wife with a submissive if not moody husband, and during the whole series, she becomes a boulder to "Heisenberg", and constantly reminds Walter of what he used to be. And ironically the only time I saw chemistry between these two, was during their last scene... I think the writter really wanted to portray a middle aged woman out of her depth, and they succeeded.

Indeed. And at times she was much smarter than Walt. She saves his a$$ on numerous occasions. She was portrayed as annoying and I think the writers felt like that had to write her that way to get us to empathize with the murdering drug lord that was Walter White. As we can see from "Better Call Saul" though, it wasn't necessary and there's a better way to write complex characters. It's interesting to see how people reacted to Skylar though and how completely skewed our violent and inherently patriarchal culture is: especially in America.

Like, on an instinctive level it makes sense. The reason we - as a collective - feel comfortable approaching celebrities is because we feel like we know them. We spend hours every week with, say, the friends on "Friends" and a relationship develops, albeit one-sided. That's kind of the point, that's the goal for the writers and actors: to get us to care. It works on a subconscious level (or unconscious? I've never understood the difference; I know if I punch somebody in the head I knock them unconscious, not subconscious, but in the other usage it seems to me like both work). But of course, yeah, it's kind of... depressing? Worrying? that people don't take a second to step back and realize that it isn't real.

I always liked Skylar. My favorite overlooked moment of hers is when she’s trying to get Walt kicked out of the house, and the policeman says “Work with me here.” He’s all but openly inviting Skylar to lie and say Walt beat her, which will give him the excuse to haul Walt off in handcuffs. But she won’t do it; angry as she is at Walt, she won’t lie about him to get what she wants. You know Walt wouldn’t have hesitated to lie in her situation, but she’s a better person than he is . . . at least at that point. And I think she fills the gender role of “mama bear” pretty well. Even in season 5, when she’s clearly terrified of Walt - with good reason - she won’t back down from him when it comes to keeping the kids safe. That’s what real courage is: doing what’s right even when you’re scared out of your mind.

Skyler is a perfect portrayal of a Karen. Who's used to getting what she wants by bitching and manuplating people. I remember in the second or third episode she barges into Jesse's home, basicly trasspassing and when Jesse gently touches her to move her out she screams don't touch me' making a scene. It's okay when she violates other's rights so causally but once her right is violated 'oh no, no, no how dare you' They're people like that in ral life and they make me sick to my stomach.

That’s what I like about the show, it shows two different characters with their own points of view and still manages to make both believable. You understand why Walt is doing what he does and why Skyler does what she does

He never told her. He lied to her for months, trying to make her feel like she was the crazy one for not believing his lies. She cheated on him because he wouldn't sign off on the divorce and it was the only way to get him to back off. The money she gave Ted was to protect their story and therefor their family.

He left the house, then broke back in and refused to leave even after her calling the cops on him. How did she manipulate him into coming back? Sleeping with Ted came after Walt refusing to leave them alone. 3. She didn't participate in Ted's fraud, she found out he commited the fraud and said she couldn't be a part of it. But her signature was already in the books so she had to lie to the IRS after already leaving the company, because they would be coming after her and Walt. 4. I'm surprised you keep calling Ted the criminal, for committing fraud to save his family's company, but not Walt for cooking meth and killing people. Oh and not to mention him (attempting to) raping his wife! 5. She gave the money to Ted to pay off the IRS because, again, they would be coming after her and Walt next. They weren't lovers anymore at this point. I never said Skylar was the perfect wife and didn't do anything wrong, she did. But my original comment was about her not being able to play pleasant house wife anymore after all the lies on top of more lies. Her mistakes came áfter all the lies started.

In regular life, you would condemn Walt and Joe and see Beck and Skylar as flawed but regular people. But from an entertainment perspective, we will root for the anti hero because it's a show and the horrendous acts they do make it worth watching. But when their love interest does something bad but not a serious crime, or is annoying and stands in the way of our hero, we will see them through the eyes as the latter and scrutinize them for flaws they have that are glaring and obvious but wouldn't make them so hated if we were coming from an unbiased approach

@Justin Bergman if you're actually not dumb and you watched the entire show, you'll know Walt did it for his family at the very first, but then he did it just for his egoistic ass only. Almost no one in Breaking Bad is innocent (except Brock, Walter Jr and Marie. Marie and Walt Jr are annoying af tho, I personally hate them, but to be fair Marie didn't deserve to lost her husband forever, she only deserved to be in jail because she steals) almost everyone deserved what they deserved, there's no saint in BB, they suffered from their own actions. Walt wanted to be the boss, the winner, the manipulater, no matter how many people he hurted. He didn't care about anyone, he only cared about themselves, he just tried to justify the things he did with the excuse of "I did it for my family", to try to get away from all the blames. He tried to competed with almost EVERYONE around him, because of his pride. Walt is actually the worst villain in the show, he manipulated everyone around him, even his viewers lol, and that's why Breaking Bad is a masterpiece.

For the first 2 seasons Skylar did come across as a nagging shrew, people afterwards liked to say "well her husband is a murdering drug dealer!" but at the time she didn't know that. It's only after she finds out that she really undergoes some really interesting character development, most of what you've said about her being an antagonist to Walt can't happen when she's just the recipient of his constant lying. Honestly, as much as I love this show, I'd have maybe had her leave him earlier, end of season 1 even

The show has two main sets of characters: Highly relatable villains that are, due to their suffering and their tragicomedic roles, worth a lot of our sympathy, namely Mike, Saul, and Walt. - And, "the Good Guys" , who are portrayed as stuffy , partly highly insufferable, packed with undesirable character traits, and lacking real personal "depth" , like Skyler and Hank. With Jesse being a category of his own. While it made absolute sense how Skyler acted; from accelerating Walt's change, to accomplice, to antagonist: Many did not enjoy how brusque, and indeed "Xanthippe -an" , she was from S1E1 onwards.

The entire arc of the show was the descent of Walt from a desperate everyman with a unique twist, to a monster. The audience wasn't forewarned of Walt's descent, so of course he was a sympathetic character to begin with. Skyler betraying him was slightly before he deserved it, which makes deservedly her a shit person. I was on her side closer to the end when he crossed beyond the pale, but she cooked Ted's books because she had the hots for him and she fucked him to stick it to Walt, but that was her justifying what she was already moving towards. Then she fucked Ted over when he stopped being convenient and she called muscle on to him when he went off script about the money - making her every bit in the same world as Walt. She knew Walt was a meth cook and she collaborated with him, so she gets no moral highground there, either. Walt killed people and Walt became an unhinged, deluded narcissist, with the Heisenberg character always a pathetic conceit, but he was also in the firing line, so his ruthlessness at least has some grounding in necessity. In the end none of them was good. Even Hank was an asshole. His wife was a bitch. But both of them get rehabilitated in the last season - I didn't buy it. Walt's loyalty to Jesse, who was a fuckup, never made any sense to me. Once he was in Fring's scope, I could see why he would want to ditch Gale for self-preservation, but I don't think he saw Fring as a threat at that stage. Jesse often revolted and often fucked things up by disobeying to spite him, so I don't believe there's any basis to say it was because he thought he controlled Jesse, either. It smacked to me of the script saying Jesse was in the show so Walt demanded it. Walt was set for life and beyond with a single 3-month cook for Fring, so the fact he demanded Jesse as his assistant, when Jesse was the reason Fring rejected them in the first place, is not credible. Gale knew the lab and the gear. Jesse knew jack shit. The show depicts no mistrust of Fring at all at that time, so if Walt had reservations they didn't show them. Walt's frequent caustic criticisms of Jesse put the lie to any thought that he had paternal feelings for him - the "good night Jesse" said to Walt Jr is also not credible. There was some bullshit in the writing in this show, sadly.

I don't get it because I never hated her, and aside from his initial cancer diagnosis, I never once felt bad for Walt. Walt is a great character with a fascinating story, and I fucking hated him. He was an arrogant, manipulative, power hungry bastard. I wasn't sad when he died, I was satisfied. Kudos to Bryan Cranston for being such an amazing actor. But back to my point, Skyler was never the bad guy. She was a woman trying to keep her fucking family together. Even the example of her questioning Walter about the master card purchase, that might seem like nagging, but it's easy to accuse the wife of nagging while over looking the husband's careless actions that forced her to "nag" in the first place. Being responsible being framed as being an asshole, that's all that is.

Not sure how I'd act, but it wouldn't be my 'best self' that's for sure. Fun fact: something that really surprised the creator Vince Gilligan was how the audience reacted to 2 of the characters 1 was hiw they were still on walt's side all the way to the end, and how much they hated skylar. He didn't expect either

And also he is the reason that jesse survived Todds uncle by pushing the date of his death multiple times. (Yes i know he did it to learn his formula). And he also gave jesse more food than he was supposed to when jesse worked hard. So in my books Todd was a positive character who was controlled by his idiot uncle.

-Skyler wants good things (peace, family stability) but the way she goes about pursuing these goals makes it clear to me that she primarily is doing it for HERSELF. Prime example: how she gives Walt the cold shoulder until he agrees to go through with cancer treatment. -I would have respected her if she had turned Walt in to the police, but she is very quickly seduced by money. Even before then, she is doing criminal activities with Ted. -She is often quite nasty to her sister Marie (whom I grew to love). She insists that Marie apologize for stealing a $500 baby gift, though later she herself steals 80 million with Walt. I very much dislike her tone in her last conversation with Marie in the final episode. -She was quick to suggest and insist on killing Jesse Pinkman - probably because she hates him and thinks he roped Walt into the trade, when the opposite is true. Trying to kill Jesse was not Walt’s idea. -I feel sorry for her when she was assaulted, when her baby was stolen, and anytime she genuinely tried to stand up for what was right in an honest way. But anyone who either despises her, or gives her a pass, is being sexist. Skyler truly became a “nasty woman” and much of the hatred is deserved.

Let's not forget that she casually floated the idea of murdering Jesse in cold blood because "we've come this far, why stop now?" She may have been trapped in the beginning but by the end she was 100% a willing participant who was desperately clinging to whatever victimhood status she thought that might afford her even though it was no longer the case. And that's why I can't stand her. She never took responsibility for her own role. She was always poised to play the innocent housewife at the drop of a hat, gladly raking in the money with one hand while wagging her finger with the other. Walter endured coercion from far more powerful people but never took it as an excuse to put himself on a moral pedestal. He knew what he was and owned it.

Throughout the whole series I almost never sided against Skyler. One of the only times I did was in season 1 when she held an "intervention" for Walt, telling everybody to just say exactly what's on their minds, and then getting mad at Marie when she backs Walt's decision not to get treatment. Stuff like killing Krazy 8 and trying to poison Tuco, hell even blowing up Ken's car, I think are justified within the boundaries of the show, but how can you begrudge Skyler for her reactions to Walt lying about everything all the time, or divorcing him, or wanting him out of her life?

Skyler was written to be disliked immediately (distracted birthday hand job). Walt started the series immensely sympathetic in his downtrodden demeanor and proceeded to devolve into what he became, which wasn't a likeable person. I didn't like Skyler because I wasn't supposed to. But I thought the hand job was stupid and unrealistic enough that I basically ignored it in my assessment of Skyler (she didn't act that horridly the rest of the show) and attributed it to Vince Gilligan's weird depictions of women. My favorite female character in BB was Jane (who was a mess but a sweet mess, and I would have watched that character in anything). Skyler was written to be disliked. She was not written to be hated. She was a more complex character than that who grew along with the series and was a worthy adversary to Walt (and sometimes partner) after he brought her family into danger. Though they both were stupid at times throughout the series and were never particularly likeable.

The reason I think many of us hate her character is because she is a self centered and self righteous person.she is self obsessed and manipulating. She keeps Walt right where she wants him instead of being a decent partner and complimenting the others strengths. The show really brings out the term you are a product of your environment. They both failed to realize they are not a compatible couple but are to afraid of letting go of what they know. Instead of finding a new path that would improve their well-being.

+Yuri, "no other choice"? They even showed us she had many opportunities and choices to do the right thing, by either turning Walt in(multiple times), or running to a new State with the kids. Hell, Walt finally agreed to a divorce, signed the papers, and she never turned them in to be finalized. She decided that she wanted to stick around, and have sex with Ted, or lie about Ted's accounting finances to authorities, and lie about Walt's money to the family, or launder money through a car wash, etc. She did all those things, cause she felt they were the right thing to do for the family....which is the EXACT same thing Walt did by getting into the drug business. He thought it was the right thing to do for his family. Two wrongs don't make a right. Again, both were in the wrong, and both broke bad.

Transfiguration You’re overlooking the fact that she never would be in this position in the first place if it weren’t for Walt’s actions. If she turns Walt in everyone else (her, the kids, Hank, Marie) go down with him. Ted did the same thing to her. They both set her up in situations where she had nothing but bad choices. Ted guilt trips her into covering his tax evasion and then drags her into a situation where the only thing she can do is go along with the program. Walt did the same thing but was a thousand times worse. She only slept with Ted in the hope Walt would get pissed off enough to leave her. Is she a saint? No, but she’s genuinely doing it in an effort to help her family. The other two narcissists claim they are doing it for the benefit of others but they are rationalizing their selfish actions. At least Walt finally admits it in the end.

The problem is that late in the show, Walter has gone from a sympathetic character to a monster akin to the other villains of the show. At one point he's even willing to kill Jesse, a man he has protected and loved like a son for multiple seasons, to save himself. I mean I say it's a "problem" but it's really not. That's kind of how you should view Walter. He got so far deep into the meth business that he had chipped off so many pieces of his soul along the way and made it difficult for the audience to continue supporting him. Up until that finale, of course, but part of that was about seeing Jesse rescued and happy (well, more or less).

I think the #1 reason people didn't like Skylar in the show was because her character literally is what's called a "threshold guardian" in literary terms. They are there to basically get in the way of the "protagonist" from progressing, and because she was constantly a thorn in the side of the character we knew BEST Walter White, people started to hate her. We wanted to enjoy Walt's success to the fullest, and she was constantly there to make it seem bad. But you have to look at it from her standpoint, like what IF this really was happening to a mother of a handicapped kid with a young infant daughter on the way and her husband suddenly uncompromisingly wishes to enter a life of crime. Walter in doing that put his entire family in jeopardy they would never have been in if he hadn't done that. The first time I watched the show I hated Skylar. The second and every other time since then that I've seen it, I hated Walt.

@@slaughterhome Yeah it's interesting, too, because there's a few times I think he genuinely wanted to get out and realized he was in over his head. Very few, but they were there, the problem is as circumstances would have it he was always unable to. The main one that comes to mind is when he realized that Gus was making moves that would basically put him and his entire family in danger so he wanted to do the "disappearing act" with the guy for $500k total when he thought he had about $7-800 thousand, but of course Skylar had to give that money to Ted so as not to bring any unwanted attention onto them from that angle. Plus, she was finally beginning to believe Walt when he told her "there is no danger, it's actually pretty legitimate even though it's illegitimate money" but Walt in the back of his mind I think always knew that his ego would never allow him to be someone else's employee. By the time the show ends he's not just confident in his ability to be successful in this business, he's cocky. When that whole thing happened with Gus, Walt in the crawlspace with the famous maniacal laughter, it's one of the most brilliant sequences in the show because you can follow Walt emotionally the entire time. He went from desperately looking for the money so they could skip town in time and start living new lives only to realize the money was gone. That was no longer an option. At that moment, Walt realized he HAD to kill Gus, so he fully gives himself to the demon that was Heisenberg in that moment. He had to go into Heisenberg mode a few times just to survive the mania that was being a drug kingpin, but in that moment I believe he fully gave himself to that evil entity, if we can call it that. It saved them and allowed him to finally become the boss, but by that point Walt as Skylar and everyone knew him their entire lives was finally, well and truly gone. And he wanted more, more more.

He's just doing it because he enjoys it by the very end. Of course in doing that, in choosing a dangerous lifestyle he basically took his family hostage at the same time and if this was real life he'd not have been able to take out the entire cartel by himself. His family would never, in theory, have been safe. That's the #1 flaw with that show, they made it seem like there's only two cartels operating out of Mexico.

I think people hated Skyler (at least I did) because she is a hypocrite not just normal kind, but one that is self-righteous and preachy, worst kind of hypocrite . Despite this video making poor attempt to refute that claim with that she was just victim of the circumstances, that's not refutation of hypocrisy, that's mere external justification for action that were hypocrisy on character part. In fact her motives for what she did aiding Walt are near identical, difference was that Walt wasn't really preachy and self-righteousness and as such wasn't revived as negatively. Her motives were economical convenience and hiding behind well being of the family. Yet video attempts to paint her as victim (figures with gynocetrism of feminism) that was forced to do what she did, she really wasn't just like Walt wasn't, it was simply matter of convenience that she decided to make such choice. Choices she chided others for making. So while Walter White did more horrible stuff than she did, he at least wasn't preachy and self-righteous claiming to have moral high ground and as such not as annoying as she was.

I resent Anna Gunn's broad brush statement of people who hate her character as misogyny. That's remarkably personal for a fictional character. But more than that, Skyler was an equally awful person as Walter White. She never takes accountability for her part in the destruction of her family either. Let's be honest, from the very pilot episode you can see just how indifferent she is to her husband's feelings. No wonder he's such a shell of a man. He's been kicked in every aspect of his life, including his marriage. It begins with her insistence he take a degrading second job because his career as a teacher isn't enough money for her and their one child. The way she tries to dominate Walt in every scene of the first few episodes sets a very bad tone for her right from the beginning. The snarky comments at his birthday, and the sad hand job after - which was hugely patronizing and insincere. Then the "my way or the highway" approach of his desire to deal with cancer his way. And everyone just knows if it was the other way around, it'd be "my body my choice". Her childish passive aggressiveness in season 2 when Walt hid the 2nd cell phone from her. Smoking while in 3rd trimester pregnancy. Courting her boss and then fucking him repeatedly just to hurt Walt. Walt lied and committed awful crimes, sure. But he never did anything out of malice toward her until well after she went scorched earth. What Anna doesn't consider, and I'm guessing can't relate to, is just how emasculating Skyler was toward her husband way before he even went bad, and how vindictive and spiteful she was after he did. Meanwhile Walt started off with good intentions, and only when he realized how far off the rails his family life had gone, did he begin to cling to his drug lord persona full heartedly. A lot of which was also Skylers fault. And all the while she dared to play the martyr, while in reality she was more the harpy. That's why I think a lot of people hate her.

Sometimes is just bad interpretation - there people that actually think he gone Heisenberg to help his family.

@@randomavenger3048 true, it happens a lot with these types of shows. Especially when they're so well produced and acted out. Some people can't really think outside the storyline they're given. I've even seen "Wolf of Wall Street" fans that think Jordan Belfort was some amazing and reasonable dude that they aspire to be like. The FBI guy fighting against him throughout the movie is hated though. Even though the entire second part of the movie openly showed Belfort being an absolute asshole that would take advantage of anyone to better his own position. Some people just can't handle glorification and romanticization well. It's cool to root for a charismatic bad character in a show. But you should still be able to make the distinction between good and bad when realisticly discussing said show.

@@randomavenger3048 Family may not have been his primary motivation but it wasn't just a flimsy justification either. He's a complex character, not a cartoon villain. As despicable and horrifying as his actions were he always retained a genuine glimmer of humanity and I can see why people want to respond to and connect with that.

Am I the only one who never thought Skylar was an annoying character? Besides from Jesse, she was the most sympathetic character to me. I mean, how would you act when your husband suddenly changes personality and suspiciously brings in thousands of dollars, all while pregnant? I also really appreciated that while she was Walt’s hostage, she still put up a good fight with her wits and ability to see through his lies

I too felt sympathy for her. I just didn’t like how she was smoking when she was pregnant.

Had I been in season one, Skylar's overbearing nagging and overdomineering personality would've just made me want to die sooner. Even when Walt found out she had cancer, Skylar immediately made it about her. Want didn't want to go through chemo, so Skylar blindsided him with a invention because it's what she wanted and then when Hank and Marie didn't side with her she immediately flipped on them. Walt had his flaws but Skylar wasn't this sympathetic victim either
