I'm seeing so many white knights here in Derek's defense lol! I think it's save to say that the life of a werewolf in TW is a dangerous one filled with challenges and obstacles, just like any person's life, right? Derek is a badass, no one can deny that. But he's struggled greatly against every threat just like Peter and Scott, but when it comes to dealing the final blow and/or making great plans and the strongest moves Peter was a stronger alpha than Derek and Scott is a better leader than Derek despite not even being an alpha yet. Derek is a cool alpha and he means well and his fighting is good, but his leadership and planning is mediocre. You can say "oh well Derek isn't the main character so of course Scott will be better," but then there's Peter so definitely isn't as central to the story as Derek. Derek is and always will be a sort of big brother to Scott and while I can't decide whether I personally want Derek to be an alpha or beta I think Derek will always have a very vital place in all of this mess. Scott's reaction to Derek's "death" a while ago proves that much.
