User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Scott - a Good or a Bad Character?/@comment-24971793-20150827231555

I actually prefer TDROTI Scott. I truly despised him, but you know what he was the main villain he was meant to be loathed. Maybe they should have reconsidered his "strategy", but otherwise he was a pretty effective character.

Then All Stars came along and he became the most derailed character in TD history, except for episode 2 where he was his old self which kinda ruins the "the shark trauma changed him" theory. His new characterization is also a bit overused imo, he's like the 56th "dumb as dirt" character in that particular cast and on top of that a dumb farm character. The Pahkitew cast had two of those in it's line-up (and since Pahkitew is part 2 of the same season I assume they probably designed the Pahkitew cast along with or maybe even before writing the scripts for AS). So they really didn't need to change Scott from a somewhat unique character into something they already had several versions off.

I fully understand why people like and prefer Scott 2.0, but I think Scott 1.0 was better. 2.0 is a little ... meh.
