OMG DEVAN PLOT BEEN DUN B4, ORLY???

I personally think a Devan plot is much better than a pack with a basic plotline (Say, Devan kidnaps Eva)only with a replaced villain (Say Bolly) only because of the fact everyone complains about Devan plots.
Does replacing Devan with *insert random villain here* REALLY make the story more tolerable?

We don't even know what Devan is plotting, but I fear even if it's something ingeniously original like, say, a machine that turns Rabbits into Turtles, you'd still complain about it just because it's Devan doing it not Uterus.
