History YMMV / DeadBoyDetectives2024

** [[spoiler:Are Crystal's parents ''that'' abusive or neglectful as the show presents them to be? While their clear negligence cannot be denied, the question arises if they are the reason Grace has become a potential criminal. Is it the emotionally distant parents we think they are and they never cared about their daughter's feelings at all that caused her to become an JerkAss? Or did they try to get close to Crystal and they were going to work on themselves but she pushed them away until they finally gave up? After all, Crystal used her PsychicPowers to cause a person's suicide, so it's not hard to think that she used her powers on her parents to get her way.]]

* DesignatedHero: A major reason why Crystal is a BaseBreakingCharacter and UnintentionallyUnsympathetic lies with this. For the half that dislikes her, they feel that the narrative clearly favors her point of view and rarely calls her out for her actions that paint her in a more negative light. She often acts impulsively without listening to others, is prone to running away from her problems instead of trying to fix them, seems to have no problems with keeping damaging secrets from others, only to hurt them even more when she reveals them, and has a tendency to impose her will on her friends even in dangerous situations.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The audience is supposed to sympathise with Crystal for all the problems she faces due to the demon that has tormented her and encourage in her mission to recover her memories. Unfortunately, many fans don't feel sympathetic to her plight [[spoiler:due her of centering around her personal goals rather than trying to accommodate to others, acting as MasterOfTheMixedMessage regarding Charles's romantic feelings, often withholding important information until most are forced to discover it and her reckless actions that endanger the life of the defenseless Jenny]]. This gets particularly bad in the final episode, where she acts impulsively to the detriment of her friends lives. [[spoiler:Upon recovering all her memories she quickly makes the decision to abandon her friends, being apathetic towards Charles' opinion on her decision even though he was never being anything other than patient with her, only returning because Esther had appeared to kidnap him and Edwin. On the rescue mission, a chained Charles asks her to free him so they (along with Niko) can save Edwin from the torture Esther subjects him to. Instead, Crystal sends him to fight the witch's snake so that she can face Esther alone while Niko attempts to free Edwin, without freeing him from the chains around his neck. This causes Charles to waste valuable time trying to free himself, which he would not have achieved without Monty's help, and Niko has no choice but to [[TakingTheBullet Take the Bullet]] to save her with a helpless Edwin forced to stare, which would not have happened if she had respected Charles' previous request.]] However, no one points out her bad decision-making.
