Talk:Leo Marvin

Really a villain?
Well, as much as it surprises me that I'm saying this, I think this page should be deleted. Yes, Leo is an antagonist and he tries to kill Bob at the end, but keep in mind that, up to that point, he was more or less a "Designated Villain". YES, he's an arrogant jerk, but he is completely in the right to want Bob gone. The guy committed two felonies to track him down just because Leo didn't want to give him therapy over the phone at a time where Leo wasn't supposed to be doing therapy in the first place--true, Leo's first session with Bob consisted of Leo just advertising his book and then shooing him away, but guess what? That's not illegal. Bob is a stalker whose obsession wtih Leo is downright scary, even though, admittedly, it's not malicious. Leo is also not without feelings: prior to Bob teaching Siggy how to dive, he expressed sorrow over the fact that his psychiatric approach toward helping his children wasn't working and considered a different one; and when Bob tricked him into thinking his sister was in trouble, Leo seemed genuinely concerned, and his indignation towards Bob for impersonating her was totally justified. And finally, we get to the explosives. Yes, it was first degree attempted murder, but Bob had driven Leo absolutely insane at that point.

Bottom line, is Leo really a villain? I don't think so. An arrogant jerk? Yes, but not a villain.
