A certain someone with an unhealthy attachment to him had to go and ruin his character in TDAS. Way to go in completely destroying everything that was built up in ROTI.

At least these days most people seem to have refrained from the more shallower reasons of bashing him. Though he still gets a lot of grief from the Lightning fandom. But yes, you're entirely right. You should judge a character based on what's inside and how they're used. Not on their art design and choice of VA.
