Come on, get serious. That's not answering my question.

He isn't a real threat,I don't feel any fear toward him,he is like Argit but without being funny,he is unfunny comedy,that makes him useless in every way,just look at how Generator Rex handled the "fame"...THAT'S something serious,Will H. is there just to amuse retarded kids and to suggest some "hate" yet it fails miserably.

I'm telling you, kids will not get Will Harangue. He's not meant to be funny.

he is like j. jonah jameson he is meant to make it harder on ben and make him miserable he is not meant to be a threat or is not meant to be funny he is there to get every one to hate ben

i didn't like that episode of generator rex to be honest it was resolved way to quickly and the hunter was a horrible villain (in my opinion)

Generator Rex epicly failed after Dark Passage, there has not been a single good episode since.

Harangue is a fucking retarded attempt at comedy,that's all,admit it.
He is probably the worst character ever and least funny thing I've seen it my life,he is in no way a threat,the plots surrounding him are illogical etc. I can go on all day about what an epic fail he is but I'd rather not,he doesn't even deserve that.


No, he does deserve more complaint. He was Exhibit B in my "Reasons I Gave Up on Ultimate Alien" argument (right after A, "Making Kevin a Flat Psycho Again to Appease TVTropes & the Incest Freaks"). He fails as drama because no one, not even kids, can suspend disbelief enough to believe that countless people will forget what they saw for their damn selves and take him at his word that Ben is EEEEVVVIIIILLLLL; he fails as comedy for the simple fact that he is too fucking annoying to be funny, not even in that inflated-ego way that J. Jonah Jameson has. He doesn't "make things harder for Ben" - he just insults him and is generally a loudmouth. Even kids, even the slow ones who are keeping "Generator Rex" on the air, know that people don't build their lives & worldviews around what they see on television except for abject mornons. Finally, for those of us who are totally, utterly sick of real-life screaming media punditry, finding it shoehorned into our fiction just to somehow make it "more realistic" is NOT APPRECIATED. Even if they reveal that - surprise, surprise - he was working on a smear campaign with the Forever Knights, it's just too little, too late. His fatal irritation level and lack of humanization (which even JJJ got) has done its damage, and again, I am glad to hear others think he is another narrative cancer needless inflicted upon this season. "Ultimate Alien" squandered so much of the good that "Alien Force" did making this franchise decent, and any attempt to defend these efforts reminds me why it was done at all & why TV as a whole is getting dumber.
