Yeah, the Erins were trying to portray Tigerstar as someone who was powerful in a way that made him feared but apparently respectable and noble, who however intimidating he was seemed like that last cat to be a plotting villain, especially with Bluestar's prophecy. Instead of having Tigerstar be a cat who would come on the page and, had we not known the truth about him, we would think "admirable" or "heroic", they made it so every time he appeared he was associated with "EEVIILLL!!!!" The intention of the authors was certainly that Bluestar would think go Tigerstar as not "big, dark and ominous" but a loyal, truly heroic deputy who is very intimidating but to enemy Clans, not to her. They could still keep him a bully to Firestar, but they should have showed more what made I'm so trusted and important and seemingly definitely not evil to the rest of the Clan, and that made the betrayal a shock, so that the only reason it wouldn't be shocking to the readers too is because we were reading from Firestar's perspective.
