Jake is awesome. I have no idea why people dislike him so much. I don't think he's an asshole, just very, very immature which is like. That's called being 16. He definitely doesn't get to do enough, but his conversations and interactions and the nuances of his character are super fascinating. People are just... Idk. It feels like people are just looking for excuses to hate stuff sometimes, or that they're too easily annoyed or bored. But I think Jake is great.
