Because I must've missed the scene where that insipid used tissue of a character was ever not portrayed as a moronicaly over-powered and intelligence-insulting demi-God.

I've only seen Tsukasa as he appears in other series tie-ins and he's way more likable than Tendou. (And he's still a boring, annoying lump)

It always felt like the show knew Tendou was unlikable, which is where Kagami came into place. While making Tendou the main character wasn't the best move, it always felt that the show made it clear we were supposed to side with emotionally and morally straight Kagami.
I dunno. It's been 3 years since I've seen Kabuto.

Yeah, it got a little ridiculous how perfect he was.
I'm still willing to defend Tendou just because I know what happens when the audience if forcibly sided with him and how bad things can actually get.
