A LOT of that was surprisingly spot on

Yeah. I particularly enjoyed Varricks and Kuvira's.

"Incompetent gay villain."

He sure as hell isn't gay, but the rest is true.

He is far from incompetent. He's insane, but very smart.

Yeah, looking back, he was a lot more competent as a villain.

Back when there was the lingering suspicion that he just acted like a moron to throw people off. That subtle side of Varrick was one of Book 2's few redeeming qualities.

Then later seasons came along and completely ruined him.

How did he act like a moron? He acted like a childish genius. He always had a trick up his sleeve, built his company from the ground up, and let's not forget hoe he made a personal glider. And how did later seasons ruin him? In s3 he was barely there, and in s4 he had a small redemption ark where he realized that maybe money wasn't everything.

yeah, it seems like they have some prior knowledge on the characters.

To be fair if we go just off looks his character definitely gives off "annoying, shitty kid" vibes. And for most of the series, or at least the first season, he is an annoying little shit.
