Any opinions on Darktail?
Darktail, in my opinion, was a weird villian. I found him annoying and it made me mad when he killed Sharpclaw in Hawkwing's Journey.
However, he did his job right. He kinda felt weak and overconfident, though.

he should have lasted the entire arc of AVOS and not died half way through. he should have targeted windclan, not shadowclan (the whole AVOS arc itself should have gone to windclan and skyclan [and by proximity, riverclan, since they're windclan's direct neighbor]).
darktail was wasted on AVOS since they targeted the wrong clan. his personal tie is with windclan through onestar, and yet why didn't we get windclan focus...? i'll never forgive them for wasting it on taking over shadowclan. hasnt shadowclan gotten enough spotlight from this sort of plot?

Like แแชแ แฝ แพf fแชแแ แพms ใโ said, he targeted the wrong Clan and died off, stupidly, in the third book. He was annoying but I guess he was fine. I just don't care about him.

I really really love how he was really good at pretending to be a good cat with good intentions and in actuality he was absolutely horrific and cruel. I wish he didn't die until the 5th or 6th book. I wanted to see more of him and more potential interactions with Onestar.

Interesting villain. The other villains are smart and strong, while Darktail is both rather stupid and also not very physically powerful. However, he's charismatic and has enough henchmen that he poses a threat to the clans in the vacuum of power left after the Dark Forest fight, and I like that idea, that you can scale back down from threats like that.
He died too early though

I don't get the hype. He wasn't the worst villain, but I didn't think he was an especially good or interesting villain.

Liked him, only qualms were that he should have been Blackstar's son (although Onestar makes sense too), and he should have lasted longer than half the arc.

I loved him as a villian! He really had a cool personality and motives, sad he didn't last throughout the entire arc tho

He felt rather weak and dumb to me, a villain I couldn't take very seriously or fear. I'm neutral on him, bordering on dislike.

I fully agree with what โ

has said about Darktail. Him being Blackstar's son instead would have just fitted more and he definitely should have had more time as a villain. Now I'm thinking about what he could've been...

I think he had way more potential than the Erins knew what to do with. Not being physically strong but being able to influence and scare those around him was intriguing. His manipulation of SkyClan was great, but I got tired of the whole obvious "the strongest cats eat and leave the weak to die" under his rule. I think it would have been more interesting if he did an extreme version of the Clans, basically. Something that immediately gave cult red flags. I dunno. He could have been so much but instead he got a lack luster back story and died way too early.

His motivations are really as bad as they get. Definitely the weakest point of his character.
I found him enjoyable though. He seemed pretty believably manipulative and he did terrorize the clans a good amount imo.

I liked how Darktail posed a genuine, terrifying threat to the Clans for two books. Reading about him and the Kin really scared me. He was a pretty good villain (although I think he shouldn't have been Onestar's son- I feel like hooking up with a kittypet was strangely out of character for Onewhisker.)

Terrible motivations. He was okay in Hawkwing's Journey, but wasn't great in AVOS.
