I'm only up to episode 4 so still got the battles to look forward to. Inaros has the same problem with Dawes to me they are just bland and the story has to bend over backwards to make them actually a threat even ignoring the fairly hard science slant it has. They also fall back on the well this person is incredibly charismatic and has a list of achievements to his name but I don't buy it for a second it's honestly just grating and affecting my interest in the rest of the series/characters.
