** Jesse displays some measure of this when he screws his parents over to get his aunt's house back. (How much of this was magnificent and how much of it was bastardy probably depends on what you thought of his parents' earlier actions.)

* [[Misaimed Fandom]]:
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Feminists attempted to rally to Skyler's defense against her growing [[Hatedom]], claiming that her detractors were simply a bunch of sexists hating on a strong woman standing up to her [[Card-Carrying Villain]] of a husband. Of course for this to work, you have to ignore the fact that Skyler never really demonstrates ''any'' kind of strength at any point. She spends the series swaying between berating and trying to hurt Walter, accepting Walter's money and trying to help but still treating him like crap, or cowering in fear of him. Holding up Skyler as an icon of feminist strength is sort of like [[Rooting for the Empire|holding up Emperor Palpatine as an icon of a fair and just head of state]].

** Several conversations between Walt and Jesse indicate that they felt completely justified in their actions right up until {{spoiler|Jane's death}}, which they consider (for different reasons) to be the worst thing they've ever done.
