>>52869572Barry is fine.
Sure it's not the most ambitious character ever but when GF try to make ambitious character we end with another taste of edgy boy or parent issues... or both in case of Silver lol.
Barry is that overly energetic kiddo with clear character flaws that make him kinda neat, especially that he got these flaws later pointed out by professor and got utterly humiliated by team Galaxy admin.
He did dumb shit
He got pointed out that he's dumb
He ignored it and got his ass handed to him
And ultimately he learned from this experience while still staying the same hyperactive retard. It's definitively better than Calen/Serena or lol Brendan/May.
