Yeah he had more focus, but was that of really any benefit to his character by the end depending on how it was done? And again, liking Sierra is not a legit reason for liking Cody; because that's liking Sierra, an entirely different individual character. I want to know from that crowd why they like Cody, not why they like him through Sierra.

Fresh has a tendency of blowing it bigtime with characters who they use extensively over an extended period of time but fail to give a justified reasoning for it or just straight up bungle it because they overestimate their own cleverness. Cody certainly was one of the main focuses for the entirety of TDWT, but did it work anymore in his favor than it has for any other big name since Island ended? Did his character progress or backtrack, or remain at a standstill? And what were his monumental accomplishments by the time it was over?

Still not sure what exactly makes Cody the gem he's seemingly played up as so much. And to prevent confusion over what I mean, I'm not criticizing anyone for liking him, but since he has such a huge and popular fan following, I'm just trying to understand how he came to be so infinitely popular since I'm not exactly sure how it came to be. Was there something that I missed, is what I hope to find out.
