Line 25:
Aside from a few exceptions, Tommy Sherman has been universally depicted as a villainous character, ranging from jerk to outright evil. He's been sociopathically vindictive, a rapist, and sometimes a comic book supervillain.
 
Several exceptions exist. "Run On Tommy - Run On" by [[Overlord MikeyOverlordMikey]] has Tommy knowing he's a failed drop-out with ego problems and backs Jodie in giving a speech about what he's really like, in the hope others turn out different. "[[A Life in Bit Parts]]" by [[TAG]] has Tommy as an actor playing the Tommy we saw, and noted to be a really nice guy off-screen.
 
==A Closer Look==
Line 52:
Tommy also insulted and belittled every male he met, though with a curious air of political correctness. He made fun of [[Mack Mackenzie]]’s name, but he didn’t use racist slurs. Tommy preferred verbal abuse with a personal touch.
 
He was conceited, self-important, egotistical, and boorish; like [[Quinn Morgendorffer]], he esteemed himself more than anyone. (“Do you know who I am? Tommy Sherman?”) Even worse, Tommy was ''completely right'' that he was widely admired, though perhaps not by people who knew him very well. He was “unanimously voted most valuable player” by his teammates after the state championship win, and upon his return to Lawndale High was put up in a good hotel at LHS’s expense. A jerk he was, but he played to his strengths and was little hampered by his weaknesses. He was the worst kind of winner, but he was a winner nonetheless, and (almost) everyone loves a winner. The easygoing Trent had nothing bad to say about him, other than noting that Tommy didn't show up for classes often. "The guy was a hero," said Kevin. "A really good quarterback, everybody liked him, kinda hunky, you know." He even had a memorial tree (per "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]].")
 
Finally, it appears Tommy had no notable criminal record, given the lack of mention of the same. He never physically harmed anyone (except himself, by hitting goalposts). He didn't even lie. As Daria observed, he was not a nice guy, but he did not deserve to die. Was he evil? Only barely. He could have been far, far worse.
