The thing with Gary is he actually had potential as an antagonist, but the execution is done not only poorly, but too fast as well. Had they extended Chapter 1 a bit further to show how he was a false friend and that he actually appeared more later to further demonize Jimmy through manipulation, he would have been pretty good, but since Rockstar tend to make villains only appear a few times, I'm not too surprised.

In my opinion, Derby would have been a much better antagonist because not only does he have a reputation around Bullworth, but from the few times he appears, he's clearly able to manipulate Jimmy much better. The fact that Derby is one of the toughest characters in the game would really count as a final boss fight.
