I don't think he was an awful human being but I do think he was pretty unfriendly towards Scotty for no reason. I know he wasn't supposed to like kids but if you're going to be with a woman that has a son, then that's what you get. He was a good kid. I'm not sure why he would have a problem with him.

I don't think it's like that at all. I think he was just REALLY awkward around Scottyit seems like they didn't have much interaction before the marriage happened to the point where there were comfortable and then BOOM they have to live together. It's even more awkward when Bill is jock, sports type of guy and Scotty was a science nerd.they had nothing in common and probably couldn't connect well because of it.
If he were a horrible person he would've abused Scotty either verbally or physically which he did not. -

He wouldn't even crack the top 300 biggest movie jerks. It's like the poster above me mentioned, it is not like Bill was being deliberately rude to Smalls, much less abusive. He felt as awkward about the whole situation as Smalls did, and the two of them simply needed some time to adjust (that's what eventually happened at the end).
You want something corny? You got it! -

Wow I think you all are over thinking it. I mean picture yourself dating a woman and then being a father to a kid that isn't your child. It's all natural to have a distant relationship, and their relationship wasn't THAT distant.

Idk, I felt like the step dad made no effort to get to know him. Not saying that they should've been close right off the bat (lol pun not intended), but the mom basically had to tell him to play catch with him. Yeah he was busy but at least Smalls was trying to make and effort but he basically shot him down. I know it must've been awkward but still

Not even close. There have been far worse people in movies than Bill. He was awkward around Scotty and standoffish, but they managed to work through it and even had some fun playing catch towards the end.
So many stories, so little time.
