A big difference between a character like Lightning and a character like Dave is their purpose. Lightning can just make people like him by being funny, but Dave would need to, like, reform his entire character, which is harder to do and less noticeable. Combined with the fact that people are pretty unforgiving of characters like Duncan and Courtney, I have my doubts.

Besides, I don't think that all that many people completely changed their mind on Lightning in-between the two seasons.
