I always felt that Beavis was a decent person at heart, Not Butthead

I always felt that Beavis was at heart a rather decent fellow who was simply lead astray by Butthead's bad influence and violent personality and tendencies, Butthead was a jerk and was always mean and rude to everyone except for women, because you can score with chicks, and people that give him cool stuff so he is nice to them by default.

Beavis always came across as being friendly and kind towards everyone that he met, even Stuart at times, the old lady on the bus in the movie, most of the teachers and random strangers, it was only when Butthead egged Beavis on or manipulated him into doing self destructive stuff that was cool or funny that Beavis showed any negative or bad side at all.

Beavis is a follower and not very intelligent at all, not a thinker, just a mindless doer, he has always followed his closest companion Butthead who is more sincerely mean and evil, selfish and self centered and evil.

When Butthead was never born it was shown that Beavis was a good kid that was best friends with Stuart, he was helping to feed the poor and homeless, always wanted to have fun and enjoy himself, Butthead was just mean and never cared about anyone else unless it benefited him first.

I would love to see an episode where Beavis was never born, see if Butthead would be best friends with Stuart and live a nicer life helping people out, or if Butthead would have Stuart replace Beavis and order Stuart around and be in Beavis's role, maybe Butthead would join the Positive Acting Teens and hang out with them, Todd wouldnt let him join his gang ever.

Thoughts?

The duo was very much how things are in real life. There seem to be the kids that are more mean hearted a lot of times because of family problems. They make friends with the kids that are more kind hearted and influence the nice kids to do bad things.

However when i think about it even though beavis was not as bad as butthead I think he still had a cruel streak. I think the show indicated the family of beavi was off too. And not saying that all kids will be bad from horrible families but many have problems. Anyway I don't think beavis was as cruel as butthead but I believe on his own would still be a problem just not as bad as with butthead.

"When Butthead was never born it was shown that Beavis was a good kid that was best friends with Stuart, he was helping to feed the poor and homeless,"

But was the tradeoff worth it. If I recall correctly, Beavis was wearing a Winger shirt instead of a Metallica one in that scene.
Hmm, Hmm. Cro-magnon!

That's why I love Butthead more and he is the cooler and funnier one to me because I relate to him very well because I honestly feel like I surrounding by nobody but Beavis' in society today. He perfectly knew very well what was cool and what wasn't is also not one to let people step all over him and let failure stop to him from getting what he wants. That and he seems to thrives on his own stupidity and uses it to be incredibly witty and a giant smartass towards those he doesn't like which is a lot like people me as well.

Butthead is also the person I and other people should aspire to be and the type of person that has the much higher chance of succeeding in life.
