I just saw the episode and to be honest, I'm sorry to say i can't for the life of me see in anyway shape or form how Berry is "misunderstood". Neither are the disney female villains misunderstood, their actions speak for their personalities.
Cruella for example was insanely obsessive with killing the puppies, she wanted them dead more then the actual coat. The way she drove at them at the end of the movie trying to grab them, did she look like she was doing all this work for a piece of cloth?
No, she wanted dead puppies for a coat, that is as mean spirited as you get. Ursula wanted to control all of the sea and had no problem trying to kill Eric, Triton, or Ariel to do it. Ursula manpiulates people for her own selfish purposes and uses people just to get what she wants.
Now back to Berry. I admit Bloo helped push Berry to her breaking point, he's not the easiest imaginary friend to tolerate for 5 minutes let alone for a lifetime relationship. But Berry is psycho and nothing Bloo or anyone else does will change that.
Her mental instability shows that whether Bloo did everything perfectly for her, there would always be someone or something that did some minor, inane thing that would drive her over the deep end, and that's why I feel she is a villain and a dangerous one at that.
She tried to kill Mac for crying out loud! She locked him in an ice box with ice cream. I also suggest people don't bring up the idea that Berry was abused or neglected, because that's basically just drudging up a whole "maybe this" scenario mess.
We can surmise and suggest and assume all we want, but we'll never know who created Berry or why she is the way she is so it doesn't help to make up scenarios for her when it's just as good as anyone's guess. Me personally, I would assume it was because of her psycho personality she got dumped.
I love Berry as a character, and after seeing the episode, I could totally see her coming back as a villain like Terrance and Duchess. But I just can't swallow the idea that Berry is misunderstood. Anyone that pops a blood vessel over seeing someone with your best friend within a matter of seconds.
Without knowing the whole story, the whole truth, and ends up creating paper cut outs to purposely prove a negative point to that person, has a LOT more problems to worry about then simply being misunderstood.
