That's the problem in a nutshell, yes.

Well, if there's one thing that I don't believe that Mike and Bryan will ever cater to, then that's killing off a female character solely because fandom hates her. Other than that, it would have been indeed very good if they had more foresight about how Mai's character would be received in fandom. I have no illusions about any portrayal making her a hate-free character, but I think the valid criticism I mentioned could have been dodged.

Though the problem might have also been that multiple people were writing the individual episodes, and that there was some meddling from Nick's side, so maybe that negatively influenced what was ultimately done with Mai, too.
Sigh, guess we'll never know.

I agree. I think Mike and Bryan are obviously willing to tweak things a bit in order to tease the fanbase, but I don't think they'd ever go that far. The fandom just seems difficult to filter through. So much of it was "Mai needs to die a fiery death" that it seems like it would've been hard for them to find the constructive criticism.

That's also a good point. At least we'll always have fanfic to give Mai the depth she deserves.
