That's fair, and I hope you're right. But it's worth noting that Keith Mars isn't portrayed as the perfect fantasy dad. Like Veronica, he makes mistakes and there are consequences for those mistakes. What makes him a good father figure is that through it all, he loves his kid, tries to do what's best for her, and apologizes and tries to make amends when he fucks up.

I was gonna say. I haven't watched the show in years but I don't recall him ever being portrayed as perfect; he had his flaws and didn't always make the right decisions, but through it all it was very obvious that he cared and really was trying to do his best.

Yes. IMO, that's a pretty realistic portrayal of good parenting. Life doesn't always work out, even when you try and do the right thing - frankly, that's an ongoing theme of the whole damn show.

He isn’t perfect, he’s perfect for her. He’s unfailingly supportive, his mistakes make them both stronger, he’s conveniently present or absent when that makes the best narrative sense for her character, he always says exactly the right thing, etc.
