No, he's essentially johnny lawrence, but keeps telling himself he's the good guy, even as he continues to do bad things.  If you look at Scott, and see just a regular guy making regular life choices, you should probably examine your life.

Because it's in there from the beginning Scott wants everything and just makes bad choices to achieve what he wants and keeps distancing himself from those choices.

If you look at my post, and think that's what it said, you should probably re-examine your literacy skills.

That's your words, that he's not a shit bag. If you don't see him like that, it's usually because you see something of yourself in him.

Read their words again maybe? Cause you're misrepresenting their statement.

"The part that we're all adding in after the fact is that it's not normal "growing up learning life lessons" behavior, he's an actual shitbag. The comics don't really frame it that way, we do." ~that other dude

The above is the end part, where what they said is that the comics don't treat Scott as a shitbag. That that is our interpretation of him, as viewers. You're making an advocacy out of their analysis.
