Honestly the first time TDAS was aired in USA,I saw many people,especially girls worshipping him on Deviantart,at the point that they were nicknamed "Malgirls"..so he successfully impressed the audience at first touch,and also many were disappointed by his "Death" in the finale.What's maybe twisted this success into pure hate is a second thought about the events narrated and orchestrated in TDAS,that's such a mess that you cannot expect to understand pleinly it watching only once.So,Mal was able to impress barely all of us,being sort of a Joker villain,pity that TD is rated PG 13,this means they couldn't make Mal more than a thug that loves to break things and menace people.That's another reason that explains the failure of Mal as a villain.He had TOO potential for the target of a reality show.
