What did you guys think of him? I thought he was both awesome and crappy as Wyatt. He was amazing as evil Wyatt, but horrible as good Wyatt. Just my opinion but what do you guys think

I think the idea of Wyatt in general was bad but thought Wes did alright. No Cole/Andy/Daryl.
Probably did a better job then Chris/Drew

Thought he played Evil Wyatt wonderfully and Good Wyatt horribly - too much of a goody-two shoes - so sweet he made my teeth ache. That was partially the way the character was written, but more the way he played him, the same way I never trusted Chris due to the way Drew Fuller played him.
Now as Evil Wyatt - if I were twenty years younger when Charmed was on, Wes would've made my heart go pitty-pat much more than Drew Fuller ever did.
It's why when I was part of a game where the teams were Team Wyatt (showing him evil), Team Chris and Team Melinda, I very gladly joined Team Wyatt!

The problem is that they portrayed good wyatt too good, too clean cut and too perfect. I wish they portrayed him with the same sort of rugged look evil wyatt had but minus the goatee and the evil attitude. I always loved seeing Wes Ramsey with that bad boy look. Hard for me to imagine Leo and pipers son growing up like that. With how they always showed us Little wyatt always being a bit stubborn and having a mind of his own, you would imagine that wyatt would have grown up to be one of those boys who in high school and college became that popular kid, that person everyone wanted to hang around with or the captain of the football team or something like that l. Following in like Prues footsteps of popularity in school. Even chris’s character and behavior was more interesting. |

Unlikable all around, for the same reasons explained by Esmeralda and gzv969. He's this archetypal Gary Sue with no blemishes or chinks in his armour. There's nothing credible or interesting about him except for his garish persona of being this flawless "good boy" saint of a man. I have more respect for Chris than I do Wyatt.
An even better alternative rendition of the powerful hybrid concept is Jack from Supernatural in the recent season. He's incredibly powerful but he has weaknesses and vulnerabilities. He makes mistakes. The world is a new place to himself and it's up to the parental figures around him to help mould him into someone that can be decent. Writers don't mince words with who and what he is, a nephilim -- the son of Lucifer actually (interpreted as an archangel in the show)! Yet he defies all preconceived notions by developing a friendly, helpful persona who seeks to do good rather than take the predictable anti-christ mantle. I personally like him because he's written in such a way that we're following his progress as he develops into his person. I can't say the same about Wyatt who just comes across as plastic and one-dimensional right from the get-go.

I must agree Wyatt was a bit too goody two shoes for me also. Reminded me of Superman in terms of multiple powers but not having any flaws or weaknesses which I would like to have seen so that even though he was twice blessed power wise Wyatt was still only human ultimately and more than just a one-dimensional type guy.
Evil Wyatt though was very menacing. Loved his interaction with Chris in the Manor future wise. Wes played him good there and the two other times as well.

Maybe good Wyatt was portrayed way too good but evil Wyatt was cool.  Wes played both versions well. |

I liked him and that too-good thing. It amused me that there was no middle ground for this guy. He was either scary or tooth-achingly sweet and Wes played those opposites well. I just took that as a part of his personality. He could not do things by halves. Plus, I thought it made an interesting brotherly contrast, that Wyatt is the forever changeable one while Chris is like a stubborn absolute.

I imagine Wyatt as Prue, very popular and very good at school, but at the same time fighting against his too strong powers that he has and which can drag him towards evil, like Anakin Skywalker
A complex character, half joyful and sweet, half tormented and arrogant

I liked him in the role of Wyatt. I thought he did exceptionally well in Chris-Crossed. I never understood how sometimes, it seemed to me like he had a little bit of an English accent. I heard it happen just a few times, when he would say something. Probably just how the actor said that particular word or something, I bet.
I never thought he was too sugary sweet, but I did think he was pure evil when it was the other way around.
