"Mal just came at the wrong time"

That's the point with this character, it was used in a season under the rules of Cartoon Network that means kid jokes and plots. I agree about Scarlett being awful and disappointing and disagree about Shugar...she just did the essential you expect from a sidewalk villain like her, the same things done by Heather but without that cleverness and wiz, only supported by luck shots. Anyway, Pahkitew was the worst season ever for the villains: 4 and none able to be useful.

" Courtney, however, was a decent strategist"

No, in TDA she was a super-talented (almost godplayer) threat but in terms of plots she only tried an alliance with Beth, that ended immediately.That's not a main villain, but a monster player (=someone that shows even too many skills for a single person collecting a victory after another- like TDAS Zoey and TDWT Alejandro).
