This, though. Oh, dear. I hope not. I don't want a selfish brat as my main character. If he's like that in Season Three, I probably won't like it much.
To me it was not selfish bratness overkill cos he did have to go and save Reinette no matter what he wanted anyway. And it didn't seem like anything he wouldn't have done for Rose. Lower stakes, even, than some of the other stuff he's pulled. I think it was pretty much exactly the Rose thing all over again, but it shocked some people because it wasn't that kind to Rose specifically? She got sort of disregarded in it, like... well, like I expect Mickey felt in the next ep.
So in so far as it's selfish brattery, I think it's just the way he's always been.
