the funniest thing is chevy chase was also hated by the cast for similar reasons, to the point where joey mchale had repeatedly gotten into fisticuffs with him. the strangest thing is pierce as a character had so much space for growth in a good way but he keeps being used (and to be fair if his actor shared his views then i see why the views did not change). i wish they used another actor to play this mf so that at least we'd have gotten some character growth,,,, iirc him dying was the copout because chevy chase did something too egregious and everyone came together to say no thank you fuck off
i never really understood why pierce was there. like he was just there to be laughed at for being ignorant and creepy, then i guess he was meant to be a kind of villain. but then he supposedly redeemed himself at the end of season 2, but is still kinda just an asshole in seasons 3 and 4. it got to a point where he just wasn't funny (that point came very fast) and he just became a nuisance. to me it's a lot like how i view ren yamai in komi can't communicate, a character with no real meaning but being there for me to utterly despise and for me to hate reading any chapters that she appears in. back to pierce, why did he get so many chances for forgiveness? it started in episode 2, where he directly rejected the assignment given to him, to the point where jeff repeatedly telling him that they should be doing the assignment did nothing to sway him, then suddenly it's jeff's fault? and then that makes jeff get an F on the assignment?? and pierce is still not in the wrong??? literally made jeff fail and we still gotta forgive him. and why are we supposed to feel sorry for him in economics of marine biology? my guy you have been consistently a racist, a homophobe and all around an asshole throughout this entire show i do not feel sorry for you. when shirley said he died in basic intergluteal numismatics that was some of the biggest relief i've felt in my life istg.
