Well, let me add something to that, just to make the day even worse:

My child

I've never heard of any of these people although the one on the top left looks vaguely familiar from game of thrones(?) like he was a pedantic pansy pathetic king or something? I don't know. I never really watched it.

Yes, King Geoffrey from Game of Thrones. The top right is from Harry Potter, and the bottom right is Walter White's wife, Skyler, from Breaking Bad.

Thank you for breaking it down.

Oh gosh yeah if I was the wife of someone who became involved in criminal activity, I'd probably become a wretched unlikeable woman too. I never saw that show either but I can imagine from context here what her personality may have been like as Walter White's wife.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A lot of her behavior was understandable in the show, given what Walt was becoming, but she cheated on her husband who was dying of cancer with her boss, and then kept working with him. That's pretty inexcusable to me. Later in the show after Walt comes clean about what he's been doing, he shows Skyler the money and tells her he did it for his family. She takes his money that he earned to leave for his wife and kids, and gives it to the boss that she had an affair with. They both become pretty awful people at different points of the show. Their poor kids have their entire lives torn apart by their psychopathic parents.

Walter was always awful, he just finally allowed himself to act on it.
Jessie was a generally good person acting like a bad person, Walt was a bad person acting like a good person. Their facades slowly fall away with each season.

Skyler was not perfect, but she gave her boss the money to avoid an investigation which could lead to Walt getting caught.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

She did so without talking to Walt, or exploring other options.

Because he was always weighting her opinion on important topics
