    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.

      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.

      Kim Wexler is a decent human being and she’s not boring.

      But if you related to her then maybe it’s a matter of taste. I don’t tend to like very realistic stories because I think they’re boring. Like I can’t get into the Wire even though everyone else loves it.

      I mean, she gave a passionless birthday handy while reading a magazine. Pretty boring unless that’s what you’re into.
