It is true, you guys. Everywhere I look there are calls for Mike not to return to the series. Yes, it was far more mixed during TDROTI, but he still had a significant hatebase back then. Obviously in TDAS he crossed the point of no return, since they more or less handed him the season and that easily led to them neglecting everything else in turn, all for his victory. In ROTI I guess you could say he was more tolerable, since he definitely was not loved by the majority either even as a newcomer. But there's simply way too many problems with his portrayal in TDAS, trying to cover all of it at once is difficult. And I don't really think he's that popular on DeviantArt, speaking as someone who is there everyday.

In any case, he's definitely the character who's received the most calls to leave the series altogether, by far.
