Fans of Breaking Bad viewed Bryan Cranston’s protagonist, Walter White, as the everyman who made it “big.” They applauded his meteoric rise from an ill-fated loser to a powerful drug lord who may have influenced The Book of Boba Fett. The critically acclaimed AMC drama was rife with characters very much like Walt; although they possessed obvious flaws — and committed innumerable misdeeds — their positive qualities and complexities kept viewers coming back (and then following them to spinoff Better Call Saul).Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) was beloved for his good heart and quirky personality despite aiding Walt in his meth-making endeavors. Walt’s brother-in-law, Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), a racist DEA agent who often abused his power, was nevertheless predominantly viewed as a righteous and self-sacrificing family man on the side of the angels. A notable exception was Walt’s wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn). While crushed beneath the weight of Walt’s criminal activities and desperate to protect their children, Skyler was widely seen as a massive hypocrite by Breaking Bad fans, who treated the character with a shocking amount of malice.Cranston’s performance as Walter was truly groundbreaking, making audiences fall in love with a character who seemed like a good man but was, as the title said, breaking bad. The writers may have been a little too effective at making Walter empathetic. Even though he loved Skyler more than anyone else, except maybe Walter, Jr., fans saw her as disloyal. In reality, she was a decent person caught in an impossible situation. How far she went to help Walter showed she was loyal, almost to a fault. Yet, that’s not the way the most passionate Breaking Bad fans saw it.
