Even though it’s formulaic i kinda like it
eh he’s shown to be human and putting up an act time and time again, which is more depth than most of those characters have.
But I get what you mean.
he’s shown to be human
He’s shown to be an almost superhuman genius while also normalizing the idea of being an asshole.
which is more depth than most of those characters have
Compared to what characters? House types are kind of standard now in fiction.
He’s also shown to care about and be protective of his friends and coworkers. He lies for patients all the time. He often let’s the misanthrope mask slip and does good things for the people around him as opposed to a lot of the other edgelord characters.
I do get the burnout on this type of character, quippy writing and so on though.
