"And why make a new plotline for Mike and Zoey? They were boring and bland in TDRI, they were worse in TDAS."

I think the reason for that is because Mal would be the only logical choice for an antagonist. Everyone on the villains team had already been an antagonist and it would be out-of-character for one of the Heroes to be one. But I do agree that they shouldn't have made the Mike and Zoey relationship the main plot again. It was already executed pretty well in ROTI imo. I think what they should have done was eliminate Zoey early on that way they can develop Mike's character outside of his relationship with Zoey. And they should have given him and Mal a backstory to how he went to Juvie and go in depth on how he developed his personality disorder. Was he born with it? Or was Mike some lonely kid who developed each of his personalities from people he met in his life?
