It's a valid opinion, but I'm not sure that just not liking a hero being presented as a hero in a story about a hero (and a heroine) is all that useful as "criticism". It's not like there isn't a long history of recognized fiction in many cultures about heroes. And, as I said above, most of the plot elements he is complaining about were clearly foreshadowed in the story as well (like, being the player with the fastest reaction time, figuring out who Heathcliff really was, having a chance to duel the villain, and even being able to win -- he was allowed to win). I suppose there are a few things that come across as bit convenient in this episode, but it's a bit too exaggerated to be taken as "valid criticism". It's really just a rant.
