There’s more place for dramatic, dark moments, but it’s not depressing to watch either: there still is humor and the show is even more interesting to watch

Speaking of which, the show got better in not creating mood whiplashes, a.k.a have a super dramatical moment then have a joke ruining the mood right after it (ex: Obake Yashiki and Countdown to Catastrophe)

KARMI’S! CHARACTER!! DEVELOPMENT!!!

Character development in general. We got hidden depths on tons of characters, from Krei, to Karmi, to even Richardson Mole, etc.

Speaking of Karmi, she’s less harsh to Hiro, but Hiro plays more in the rivalry this season. He’s not an innocent wee lamb, y’all. He can be a little shit, too.

WE HAVE A NAME FOR KREI’S ASSISTANT, JUDY

While Mr. Sparkles is still really weird and cuckoo in the head, he’s more of a challenge this season and a far better villain than from his introduction episode

The team learned their lesson with Obake and knows that Liv is not who she appears herself to be. They know she plans something bad and tries to stop it. While back in S1, it took them until Rivalry Weak to know of Obake’s existence, and until Countdown to Catastrophe to pinpoint his plan

The filler eps from S1 tie with the plot of S2

They gave Hiro his own weapon! (the magnets he can shoot from his gloves)

Lmao thanks I guess? 😂 you're not wrong tho

To answer your question, I think Obake was an amazing villain. He has the same vibes as all the classical Disney villains from my childhood; dramatical, tactical, gloats to himself, creepy, etc. I love how he was always ahead of the team, who only realized his existence past the half of S1. He was also fun to "hate" (as in "get away from Hiro you creep) but was a nice villain and probably my favorite (male) villain. Most importantly, I love how we learned that the accident from the time he was an SFIT student contributed to him turning evil. His sanity got affected and he did not see the wrongs of his actions. Yet despite that, he still did the right thing in his final moment by letting Baymax go save Hiro.

I really wish we'll see Obake again in a dramatic return in either S2 or S3 (after all, according to S2's episode summaries, both Trina and Noodle Burger Boy survived the collapsing of his lair. Why wouldn't he?)

But if not, his final moments were great and I'll miss him and Andrew Scott's amazing voice acting skills.

RIP Obake, you creepy scone-loving Drama Queen

Not really.
