I, in my opinion, would define 'better than' only in execution, and hope in that has proven to be sorely misplaced. Trying to look for a better character is a futile attempt as even between two representations of one idea it can be night and day. Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed that role, only to be disappointed by the direction.
