User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Scarlett - a Good or a Bad character?/@comment-25297892-20141112204740

I was the first to do a comparison between Mal and Scarlett,and I pointed out the values,flaws and differences of them:

Mal


 * He's an original idea for a villan,but was orchestrated badly
 * He was intended to be pure evilness,that means being chaotic and overpowered and he succeeded
 * He was technically a non human contestant but godplayed and provided for many eliminations slaying the most Dangerous contestants such as Alejandro
 * He has no plan or strategy,but this is just the kind of villan he's intended to be:unpredictable
 * He has no sort of characterization otherwise than his villainous role
 * He interacted with lot of people,however

Scarlett


 * She was an unoriginal idea for a villan (honestly,the cartoonish world is full of psychotic nerds like her) but was orchestrated good,however she became evident soon after five episodes
 * She was intended to be the typical quiet,strategic,superclever schemer but she failed doing nothing serious until "Scarlett Fever" and provided for not even ONE elimination,and wasted all her time to rid off an idiot like Max
 * She had no plan or strategy:she didn't know that Pahkitew was mechanic until "Hurl and Go Seek",THIS MEANS she would have never been able to take the control of it without exploiting the right opportunity (first in This is The Pits,2nd Chris paractically gave her the remote control of the Island!)...is this a strategic superclever villain?No,just a psycho with high cleverness.
 * She has no sort of characterization otherwise than being evil,hotheaded and super clever
 * She interacted mostly with Max and revolved all the time around trying to rid off him.The fact a complete ignorant oddball like Sugar was able to do more villainous actions than her is self explanatory.

Definitely they are both joke villains and nothing more,also Scarlett is really the first villain to be totally uneffective,and in my personal opinion she's very boring.
