There are somethings that the comics did to paint rex into a positive light before his demise
In the comics, Rex was also generally shown to be more of a well-meaning idiot than anything else throughout the series outside of the Eve debacle.
The show has made the whole “Rex is a jerk” narrative in the comics far more of a reality rather than something born from him making a bad first impression that lingered with readers (and the other characters) until he got more focus later on.
The question will be if the show will give his character enough focus to move past his jerkiness in a believable way since they have turned it up by a considerable amount. If Invincible War was to happen this season, then I would be wary on that front.
