yeeaaah, but the kind of asshole a kid is and the kind of asshole that an adult is - very different things. Unless they have some kind of actual disorder like psychopathy. As terrible as Stick is, I don't think he's actually clinically insane. Plus dimensional badguys whose character development isn't just "lol evil" are more interesting.

At this point, Matt just getting fed up and sitting on kid!Stick (or having Foggy sit on him, which Foggy would do, because what an asshole brat) to catch a break for a moment is fucking hilarious.
