'''My point is i think that is why you like nex so much. You have this idea of how Nex is in your mind and unfortunately your treating that idea as if its canon when its not. People have watched the show and they didnt particularly respond positively to Nex and theres nothing you can do about that'''

I guess this is what it really boils down to. This whole time, you thought I just had a different reaction to Nex than everyone else, based on the same limited info (the show and the comics). But for some reason, I think my reaction's superior to everyone else's, and I'm angry because no one else reacted the same way I did.

That's not what's happening here. Like I said two comments ago, if that were all there was to it, I wouldn't care. My personal feelings about a character are just that: personal. I can't expect everyone else to feel the same way. Also, my initial reaction to him was the same as everyone else's: I didn't like him.

The reason I think Nex is a misunderstood character is because of Rainbow's character description. It explains his personality and behavior, and it frames his character in a different context. But most fans haven't read it. That's why I feel like I am right about him, and they're wrong: I have that extra piece of information.

Even with that, those fans might not like Nex. But at least they can judge him based on how Rainbow sees him (i.e. what they intended for his character), instead of based on gut reactions.
