Line 44:
** Walt himself has his moments of this, namely in the latter two seasons. He fully becomes one in the series finale.
** 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 neverbecomes reallycomplicit demonstratesin her husband''any''s kindcrimes ofand very rarely displays strength atwhen anythere's risk to pointherself. She spends the series swaying between berating and trying to hurt Walter, accepting Walter's money and trying to help buthim stillin treating himhis likeillegal crapactivities, 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]].
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** 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.
