Talk:Derek Hale/@comment-Alpha Fernir-20120925230542/@comment-Ryesho-20120927163950

Derek is an awesome character, BECAUSE he has flaws, which just makes him more believable and likeable. Of course he makes mistakes. He`s only been Alpha for a short period of time. But he has done good, such as using the Bite to free Isaac from his abusive father, Erica from her social pariah life & Boyd from loneliness. He acknowledges that he makes mistakes, such as Jackson and that he is his responsibility, the same with Isaac when he was arrested. He is also willing to make the harder decisions, such as taking a life if that means saving dozens of innocent bystanders.

A lot of people who watch the show bash Derek while constantly trying to show how ``perfect`` a ``hero`` Scott is. Scott isn`t as relateable. He claims to be in love with a girl, They are just teenagers, love at their age is unlikely, plus all they really do is make out and have sex. They all think Scott is right at all times and can do no wrong. He needs to appreciate how Derek was willing to take him under his wing to better his chances of survival, but Scott shuns him because ``he wants to be with Allison and live a normal life``. He needs to understand his normal life is over and he needs to make changes. His girlfriend is from the clan of werewolf hunters of Kate Argent, the one who commited the Hale Arson, plus recently, Allison started actin like Kate to ``avenge`` her mother.

Sorry for the long rant, but I felt the need to defend Derek after all the hate he gets.
