User blog comment:TotalDramaNaruto/Fresh's take on Mike/@comment-12502636-20140213094907/@comment-1037137-20140213100428

No, but certain elements in how they portrayed the guy, particularly and most especially in TDAS are seeded with some unfortunate implications that have to be acknowledged at least to some extent. I think the problem is turning it more into a poorly-conceived gag rather than a real struggle. Then you got the reset button.

Plus, dunno who's gonna defend how badly told his story was. Mal was all talk and no show.
