Alejandro doesn't amount to anything close to Mal. Everything Alejandro could do was explained (even if it was ridiculously endless), and his dumbing down of characters was restricted to the girls (which was explained).

Mal just pulls ability after ability out of his ass, and it's never explained. And everyone seems to have received brain damage so that he can gently knock them over like bowling pins.

Regardless of how I feel about either of them, Mal is 10X the Villain Stu than Al will ever be.
