User blog comment:Flagator24/What's with all the hate towards Mike?/@comment-7379699-20180422041346

Yes, sadly, a lot of people on this wiki doesn't like Mike. Overall their opinion is their opinion and I've expressed my opinion throughout the many blogs that talk about Mike, Zoey or TDAS (Which isn't the worst, the worst is Pahiktew Island imo).

But I've read a post on Tumblr explaining that the reset button was only there (IN HIS HEAD) because Mike needed that symbolic feeling of taking control of his life and 'going it alone'. So Mike could only press the reset button when he felt alright going it alone with his alters who acted like a family and a security blanket. So if you were seeing it as an literal thing, maybe read between the lines? I do agree that maybe they should've done it a different way or just keep the alters altogether. But that's my opinion.
