My God, they destroyed the Ty Webb character

I knew this movie was going to suck donkey balls before I watched it, so I was aware of what I was getting into... or so I thought. I watched it for sh!tz and giggles just to see how bad it really is. I had THOUGHT Ty Webb's presence would be at least a tiny redeeming quality, but nooooooo. UGH! They just completely defiled him. In the original he was mischievous and a wise-ass and all that, but he was still lovable and didn't have a truly malicious bone in his body, and he had a unique, if quirky, wisdom about him. But in this sequel, he's now genuinely an utter prick, just a total, completely unlikeable JERK. All that clever, silly, yet profound Zen-ness about him is just GONE. This movie doesn't even give me the pleasure of seeing more of the Ty Webb I know and love. Honestly, this movie easily takes the number one spot on my list of two wasted hours of my life that I'll never get back.
