THIS is now Yas Forums's best example of how to write female characters.
What went RIGHT?
Kim Wexler & Writing Women
James Morales
Brody Wilson
Kim Wexler is about the only time I've seen Yas Forums completely fine with a strong female main character. What's going on? What makes her so different? She just seems like your typical Sue to me.
James Campbell
Loyalty is a big one. Her and Jimmy have a deep understanding of each other that's been built over the course of a decade.
Brayden Green
Her fat ass
Joseph Long
She's not really a "strong" female in the typical sense. She's just well educated and competent. Her motivations make sense and she clearly has short comings as well. Sticking with Jimmy, who we know is a lost cause, is a terrible decision and it has derailed her corporate career entirely.
Jason Morgan
She's very weak.
Lucas Martinez
But she did become a bitch in the last episode
Xavier Reed
It's due to the fact that she has imperfection. It's clear in the way the show is presented that Kim has played a role as an enabler as well as a moral compass. This kind of mix opens the door to a potential internal conflict she has, which is undoubtedly the inability to recognize her own fault. This is seen clearly when she laughs off what Howard said. Yet, at the same time, she spoke up to Lalo to preveny Jimmy from getting murdered, at her own risk.
One might say, well, this courage makes her a Mary Sue! And I disagree. The contrast in her want to protect Jimmy is seen in both her confronting Lalo in prison, which puts her danger initially and her saving his life in his apartment. It's mixed through and through.
Samuel Lewis
She became a potential bitch to everybody but her husband... Sounds pretty based to me
Benjamin Hernandez
Yelling at Lalo was a survival tactic. Jimmy was about to cave and couldn't spin his usual spiel because of his exhaustion, so she stepped in and used her persuasion skills as a lawyer basically as a last resort. Based on her interrogation of Lalo the previous episode and the tidbits she picked up from Jimmy's story she was able to piece together a narrative sound enough to keep Lalo content for the time being. In light of Nacho's betrayal she and Jimmy are gonna be in a lot of trouble though.
Daniel Price
The writers tried to pander to the diversity agenda by creating a realistic depiction of women in skyler. They tried to make her an independent, liberated woman but it backfired on them.
Kim was created from the backlash from skyler, they created a character that was meant to be loved by men. She's an idealized, loyal woman; the anti-skyler.
Benjamin Myers
Contrast her to someone like Rey and the difference should be obvious, user
Oliver Myers
I thought both were pretty good. Skyler being a massive bitch that fucked up the family and her husband wasn't an accident.
Brody Ortiz
only if she gets popped in the head for talking sass to Lalo
Brody Parker
>What makes her so different?
She's not a whore from a start. That just makes a huge difference.
Xavier King
>She's not a whore
she wanted to do some roleplay while having sex in the shower
I bet jimmy has talked her into doing some increasingly kinkier fetishes.
Jackson Martinez
All presumptive, and all hot
Cameron Edwards
she's already going through corruption in the last episode, she'll fall further into depravity in the next season
Jose Harris
She's not really "strong" per se, but she's competent and she's not a whore.
William Stewart
but she gets off on fantasizing to take down her ex-boss
Ian Morgan
Having sex with her boyfriend doesn't make her a whore.
Ryan Miller
>Finished BCS
What should I watch now?
Brayden Morris
how can you say that when she has such a slutty face?
Luke Cooper
Breaking Bad again
Carter Walker
she has a tight little tush and you know it
Henry Ross
saul fagman should just kill her
Brandon Bailey
Idk I just think she's based, she's unironically independent from Jimmy and clearly knows how to get out of trouble, while Jimmy uses his charm she uses her knowledge of the law, kinda like Chuck but less faggy.
Jose Sanders
It's amazing how "independent" from a woman's point of view means taking your man down ie;skyler, while "independent" from a man's fantasy means an out-of-your-league woman who's still willing to do shenanigans with you ie;kim.
Evan Gutierrez
I legit thought this was Phoenix Marie
Nicholas Ross
She’s the perfect mix of attainable and unattainable.
Gavin Richardson
She looks like an older Faye Marsay. I dig it
Jaxon Rodriguez
It's all good, man. Don't get your Wexler in a twist compadre
