Did the Will guy piss anyone else off?

Will Beckford was the least likable character in entire film. The sad thing is, the movie revolves around him getting knocked off. That's what killed the movie- that the victim of the crime was unsympathetic. As most people on this thread seem to agree, in some ways, Will and not Caleb was the bad guy, for trying to steal from a secret society. If I had any power over the situation, I wouldn't lift a finger for him. It was his own career-driven motives that led him to disrespect a university tradition.
You don't have to be part of a secret or elite society to understand it as tradition. That's what it was and a self-centered worm like Will Beckford couldn't view it as a tradition. He only viewed it as something that he couldn't be a part of. -

the reasons he got mad at luke were total BS as well, he acted like he was mad for luke not telling him what had happened but it was really for the sake of writing a story, thats not a friend, and I think it was honorable to get satisfaction for what happened to Will but as the other people said he kind of brought it on himself

I agree with everything Potassiumman said.
The movies biggest flaw is the lack of sympathy the audience has for the Will character.
He pretty much spies on his best friend from the beginning of the movie and has a major falling out/fight with him after less than 30 seconds of Luke having his initiation as as Skull.
The relationship with Luke and Caleb is far more compelling. -

One other thing that creeped me out about Will was he didn't act like Lucas's friend as much as he did like his girlfriend!
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush." -

oh yeah, Will was not liked by me at all. He was a real jerk, like he was jealous of Luke for getting into the Skulls, and having friends other than him and Chloe.
the saddest thing in life is wasted talent -

I'm watching the movie as we speak. He was a P.O.S and he got what he deserved. Smashing the window of the guy's Porsche to break in and steal the key and book makes him a grade A beep Not to mention secretly investigating his own friend. I'm glad he died.
