Fandom Problem #15,102:
"The character is smart, sarcastic and cunning in canon! Why are you making him easily manipulated???"
Oh I'm sorry, was him showing distaste to the actions of the antagonist both in private and to the antagonist's face not clear? Was him resisting the urge to deck the antagonist a sign of love? Was him calling and speaking positively with the heroes and speaking about the antagonist's plans not a clear enough hint?
I'm sorry, you're right. He has to turn, look in the camera and go I hate this guy and am a double agent, manipulating them so I can help plot their downfall. Any plan of theirs I agree to and every moment of me being nice is me just remaining in their good graces so I don't die and so I can give this information back to my team. Any plan I give the antagonist has been cleared with the heroes so they know and they're not plans that will cause a lot of damage anyway. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE ANTAGONIST AND AM GOING TO DANCE ON THEIR GRAVE!
Or is that still not clear enough? Tell me what I must do to stop writing this character out of character oh holy one.
