Also, after episodes like See You There, Best Burgers in the World, Do Me a Solid, Death Punchies, Slam Dunk, Replaced and Muscle Mentor, there was a lot of negative feedback from people here. Most of those episode usually get people steamed about the actions of the characters in those episodes. But by the end of Season 3, MM had grown to become really good friends with Mordo and Rigby, as seen in both Trucker Hall of Fame and Fancy Restaurant. Also, after season 3, MM becomes almost as reliable as Skips, though usually in the capacity of him " knowing a guy", but still seems to come through for Mordo and Rigby. I think the turning point for Muscleman's character was Trucker Hall of fame, after that he become a much more diverse and likeable character. However, MM was pretty much the second most disliked character on here pre season 4, being surpassed only by Margaret, so it's not surprising that some episodes before season 4 would leave a bit of a bad taste in your mouth after watching them, as the secondary characters - MM, HFG, Benson, Skips, and Pops, had not really been developed much at that point. Very true. I don't think any of the characters really started to develop until season three. (Besides Mordecai and Rigby, of course) Now that Muscle Man has matured more as a character, I think it kind of upsets people when they watch older episodes and realize that he wasn't quite the same as he is currently. As I've stated several times throughout this thread, however, that still doesn't give me any reason to hate the episode. Muscle Man had literally only made his debut a few episodes beforehand, so not much was really known about him at that point. While his actions were sort of detestable in that specific episode, it shouldn't have caused so many people to judge his character right off the bat. I actually respect Muscle Man now more than I do half of the park family. Thank you for understanding what I was trying to say this entire time.
