i notice he's getting a lot of hate and disdain. It has really become predictable and irritating when you see an diverse ensemble and the one character that people either hate or indifferent on is the Black character(Recent example of this is Wyll in BG3). When I was watching Fallout I was like yeah I bet Maximus is going to be the character out of the 3 leads most aren't high on and sure enough.
I don't mind the character starting off as inept because it does pave the way for easy growth and development through what will likely be a multi season series. Whereas Finn's whole arc was tossed aside and he was not really given enough time to develop within three 2 hour films. I'm cautiously optimistic...cautiously.
