I think Skylar is an excellently written character hand her acting is some of the best in television history. That being said, Skylar is so annoying to the main cast and is extremely hateable on the first watch
If a man monitored all the phone calls of his wife and her credit card records as well and even looking up the addresses of people she interacts with and eventually kicks her out into the street people would have a major issue with all these boundary issues but because she's a woman everyone wants to excuse her and call her a victim.
Haha instant like you talkin about “the fly” episode: literally the only episode in the entire breaking bad/ better Call saul universe i dislike. Happy to find out Im not the only one hehe
you can feel bad for somebody and still think they are annoying asf. We all like people like walt because they are entertaining, its fun to watch a life or death drug deal opposed to watch skylar scream for twenty minutes.
I think Skyler is one of the best written characters in the BB universe. However, one thing I would've done differently with her is limit her screen time. She has gotten almost as much focus as Walt and Jesse along with some plotlines that aren't exactly bad but just not as interesting (ex. her and Ted's plotline). I wouldn't cut her down to as much screen time as Marie or Jr. but definitely less than Jesse or Walt. Skyler is by far better than Jack though; Jack and his gang are some of the only flaws in breaking bad and really all they had to do was introduce them earlier in the show and develop them from then, the same can even go for Lydia and Todd. Maybe introduce Jack and his gang around season 3 as another rival Meth faction for Walt while Gus was still around.
These comments are... interesting. GREAT video though! Love your more upbeat review/video essay style, keeping things moving without relying too hard on YTP style surrealist humor. That, and pointing out the fact that people who zone in on how she is "annoying" completely disregard any point of view other than Walt's. He is a man guided by pride, a growing ego named Heisenberg, who layers lies on top of other lies. He forcefully manipulated EVERY SINGLE PERSON in his life - she just wanted a family and stability and at almost every step he worked to destroy both, only properly providing for his family (a la Gustavo) once everything crumbles. Walt only ever truly and wholly supports his family in his last days alive, after admitting he did all of that for himself. I think people who hate Skyler not only do her character a disservice, but Walt's entire arc, and the layered storytelling of the show. Walt is NOT a good guy. Some viewers keep falling for his manipulations even after he brings the curtain down.
"Why is the woman more hated than the racist?" Tooo funny! I agree 300% with you. Loved the show and I loved Skylar! Yeah she was obnoxious but Walt never thought past himself.
I think people gravitate toward something they can relate too and would want to be more like Walt and those people are horrible people I should know because I'm probably one of them and disliked her at first. But you have great points which makes me want to rewatch the show and see it from her perspective.
I never thought Skyler was a bad character. If anything she helped make Walt more interesting and brought realistic obstacles for Walt to deal with. And yeah, she is awful to cheat, but unlike most people she redeemed herself. Most people cheat and never come back.
I totally understand where Skyler is coming from. but I don’t like her, It’s indicated in the show they had to be married at least 16+ years Walt has never done anything Special in his life and when he gets cancer You could say his final wish is to provide for his family So he does this by cooking meth when Skyler finds out She completely rejects Walt and what he has done to provide for her forgets the 16+ years they have been married forgets what he sacrificed for her just because what he did is ilegal At this point of the show she doesn’t even know won’t hurt people she thinks he just cooks meth Which to me indicates that she didn’t really love Walt I think the hate for her Has been twisted That if you don’t like Skyler yours just sexist While The reason the majority of fans hate her is because she’s a unloving ungrateful wife And I don’t really think Skyler is a interesting character only thing she really does is getting Walt’s way There’s nothing really cool about her : Edit I wrote this using speech to text because it’s long So there might be spelling errors
I disagree Skylar Is a great written character she has flaws but that. Makes her human the reason I dislike her is because she's controlling. Also she had never asked Walt does hr event want to do kemothermy BUT I think this is such good writing because it shows she is scared just like Walt shes human
I think it's part of the bias towards Walt since he is the main character. We see everyone in the show through his lenses, basically, so of course she is going to appear to be a major antagonist to Walt. Since he is the main character, our brains almost default him to being the good guy when Walt in reality is far from being the good guy of the story.
Which is why I understand not liking her for the first two seasons. But as the show progresses, I think our feelings should also change on the both Walt & Skyler
Not rlly Skylar Is a good written character ehen Walter almost rps her I loved her response BUT at times she can be controlling and unconsiderte not one episode does she ask him what does he want to do aby his cancer
There is no redeeming qualities to Jack at all. At least Todd was nice enough to give Jesse some Ice Cream if anything. He’s a racist, he’s responsible for making Jesse a slave, he murdered Hank, he’s responsible for Andreas death, and he’s a Meth cook. And the worst part is he’s proud of all of them. Yet people hate Skyler more because she sometimes slows the plot down. Ted still sucks tho. I hate Ted!
Ehh I think Skylar has flaws BUT those flaws make her such a good character she's supposed to be thr annoying bit at times it just adds another piece to the story
I disagree and I dont think you dont understand about the boundaries women like Skyler cross w/o blinking an eye. Its always about them. Nobody elses feelings or problems matters but hers. These women suck the life out of their spouses and guilt/gaslight them to get their way. Walter was never given a choice, not once. His life is not his own, its hers. Its the exact reason why men arent marrying anymore. Its just not worth throwing your life away like that. Unfortunately the women will never understand because people like you justify these behaviors for some reason. Its a lose lose situation and men are starting to understand that. Its just not worth it.

Yeah she's not the worst but defiantly manipulting at times but she's a good written charec5hrr I believe

Happy birthday scene completely trumps all
*this comment was written before watching the video*
Ofc Skylar isn't worst, Ted Beneke exists
Funny thing, I was gonna say that Ted was the worst until I remembered Uncle Jack existed lol
This video is great! And I'm subbing.
you can feel bad for somebody and still think they are annoying asf. We all like people like walt because they are entertaining, its fun to watch a life or death drug deal opposed to watch skylar scream for twenty minutes.
Skyler singing happy birthday to ted is the worse offense.
great video man, phenomenal writing. keep it up
Thanks, I didn’t write anything😀

Amazing analysis on Walt’s character! And thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate that🙏

she is one of the most realistic characters, and she is necessary, but passive characters do often get on viewers nerves

excellent video my friend
Yes her reactions might be realistic but that doesn't mean we like them.
My favorite drug dealers were always of the television type lol
Even if you don’t like them, you can at least get where she’s coming from

Skyler is ABSOLUTELY the WORST character in the show.
Duuuude I luuuv the fly ep
Peak fiction ngl
@@WhoIsKaiYT is like a cartoon I luvvvvvv it
I Will never understand the hate towards skyker, she was the most realistic carácter, and she was a reminder of How Walt was dangerous.
She is flawed too, but she is right overall. Walt is literally a druglord
There is no redeeming qualities to Jack at all. At least Todd was nice enough to give Jesse some Ice Cream if anything. He’s a racist, he’s responsible for making Jesse a slave, he murdered Hank, he’s responsible for Andreas death, and he’s a Meth cook. And the worst part is he’s proud of all of them. Yet people hate Skyler more because she sometimes slows the plot down. Ted still sucks tho. I hate Ted!
I think Todd Is supposed to be Kind of physchopathic, but I do think he, in his own twisted way, thinks he's being good to Jessie
Skyler is just a normal ass person trying to to what's best for her family (most of the time) and everyone hates her for it
Ehh I think Skylar has flaws BUT those flaws make her such a good character she's supposed to be thr annoying bit at times it just adds another piece to the story
She is tho
Worst by far
