User blog comment:Raised By Wolves/Character Appreciation - Week 1: Alejandro/@comment-25285054-20170101202828

Alejandro is by far one of my favorite characters. At the time the idea of such a dramatic antagonist was fresh and interesting for this series, and even if he does seem too perfect at times, his antagonism is very engaging. It's amazing how he ends up manipulating practically the entire world tour cast and I end up wondering what he's gonna do next.

And while it seems like he's nothing more than a monster at first, we end up seeing him in a more human light-a subtle human light, which is another reason I like him so much. While we are given a freduian excuse for him from his brother's treatment of him, instead of trying to shove a sob story in our faces like many villains would, it's only implied to be a factor in why he turned out evil. Meanwhile,  his interactions with Heather show that he does have a heart,  though their constant backstabbing of each other keeps both charcters firmly in the villain category and makes it even more engaging.

While I don't think he was perfect in All Stars (big surprise there) his conflict with Mal is...surpsingly interesting and probably the best thing to come out of Mal. Even though Alejandro is still firmly  a villain, we can root  for him simply because he's the lesser evil. Which, considering his position in World Tour, is (intentionally or not) pretty clever if you think about it.

Also him defeating José is such an amazing moment I cant

I know I don't usually write long comments but Al deserves it
