      Except, Dewey learned from the mistakes Malcolm and Reese made with him in their bullying him. He treated Jamie much better and developed a close bond with him. Malcolm's problem is his ego and self-absorbed nature. He uses his genius to cause others pain in their lives, which has caused him to lose friends and make everyone hate him. Reese's problem is his tendency to harm others for a good laugh and being an overall jerk about it. In a lot of ways, Malcolm and Reese are similar to each other. They're both reckless and lack empathy in their own way.
      Francis learned a lot of life lessons after leaving Marlin Academy and working under Lavernia in Alaska and Otto in New Mexico. Late season 3 and Season 4 gave him the best development and had him grow up from his delinquent ways.

      Francis is crafty and street smart, along with him being a natural leader.

      He learned from the mistakes of Malcolm and Reese who prioritized bullying and fights over bonding. Like Francis, Dewey saw how toxic the Wilkersons are to each other.

      Except Francis, Reese, Dewey and Jamie got the last laugh against Lois in the final season.
      1. Francis never told her about the employment he has at Amerysis Computer Enterprises and only enjoyed tormenting by telling her that he's still unemployed.
      2. Reese also enjoyed tormenting Lois by not caring about his future and she eventually gave up on trying to motivate him to be more than the delinquent he is. Maybe he accepted that his life would be nothing more than a pile of garbage and will always be. However, like Craig, that doesn't mean Reese can't enjoy the heck out of it. This is why Hal made arrangements with Mr. Hodges to have him be a janitor at his former high school.
      3. Dewey and Jamie hid their bad reports to the neighbors about them as Lois was freaking out over her pregnancy again.
      The only person that Lois was able to beat was Malcolm because she knew how spiteful he was to her the most and made no attempt to hide it. No one stood up for him mainly because of his behavior and it forced him to follow the path she wanted him on.

    This is one of the things I love about this show, the characters get expanded on as the seasons continue.

      Malcolm's intelligence was frequently on display. Starting with Season 1, do you not remember him freaking out his family with those extensive mathematical calculations? Or, when Mr. Herkabe first arrived, Malcolm used his intelligence to destroy Herkabe's system, by making the whole class go crazy?
      Those are just a couple of examples among many others, but the show liked to display Malcolm's vulnerability, creating moments of conflict and (hopeful) personal growth, especially when he became an older teenager.

    He is a genius at messing with his family's head. The best one is when Dewy wishes Reece to dissappear. The scene starts with Dewy explaining everything he knows about the model ship he had just finished when all of the sudden Reece smashes it, setting Dewy to wish him to dissappear. I believe Dewy built that ship to get Reece to smash it so he can mess with his head through out the episode.

      Thing is that out of Hal and Lois' sons, Dewey was the best candidate to be a US president. He has the brains, skills and compassion to do the job very well. Dewey can relate to the lower-income families because he came from one and knows how to deal with the issues. It helps that he has good people skills and can make smart decisions. Dewey would've been the US president everyone needed because he would've made the rich pay their dues, help the lower class out of the poverty line and make sound decisions in regards to foreign powers.
      Hal and Lois pooled their faith in the wrong kid. Malcolm's problem was his egotistical and self-absorbed nature. Even if he won the presidency, he would've still end up disappointing Hal and Lois by being a bad one because he bought his way there using Stevie's family money. Malcolm would've screwed his family over by supporting the rich just to prove his point that he doesn't care about them or anyone else except himself. Proving that even though he's a genius, Malcolm is reckless and lacks empathy similar to Reese.

      Have you forgotten that most of the things Malcolm does was for his own benefit? He usually has to learn his lessons the hard way because of his ego. Hormones had nothing to do with it. During the earlier seasons, Malcolm used to be a normal kid who had friends. Once he was revealed to be a genius, it ruined him because Lois soon took control of his life and thus starting him on a road to his egotism.
      Malcolm has shown he is just as reckless and lacking empathy as Reese only in different ways. His downfall has always been his selfishness, arrogance, egotism and his need to overanalyze everything.

Francis had street smarts, social smarts, and a type a personality that benefitted him when he really put his mind to something. They all take after Hal, who was also incredibly intelligent, but he really presents as having ADHD, which I suspect Reese also had, and maybe Francis. Out of all of them, Dewey takes after Lois the most, with his manipulation and mind games. Francis got passive aggressiveness from her too.

    I never watched the show but based on these clips, Dewey seems like a psychology genius. I don’t know if that’s a term people actually use but let me explain. He is great at fooling people. He knows how to manipulate the mind and behavior of others to get what he wants. Sometimes to get an actual benefit, and sometimes just for the fun of it. Take the chocolate bars as an example. By simply having a rough idea of each target’s personality, he knew what their soft spots were and used them to his advantage. And what about the nanny scenes? He knew how the nanny perceived him, and again, used it to his advantage. I’ve read a lot of comments saying he’s a musical genius as well. So maybe both, again, I haven’t watched the show. Needless to say, I simply fell in love with how they wrote his character.

He makes the most of what he has from the little attention he gets from Hal and Lois, taking advantage of Reese's lack of intelligence and pointing out Malcolm's flaws with his overanalyzing, ego and selfish nature. Like Francis, Dewey saw the toxicity in his family. Unlike him, Dewey actually learned how to turn off mind to their behavior by not paying attention to it. Francis was crafty in getting himself into trouble with the law in order to be sent away to Marlin Academy.

      They should've done a 20 years later epilogue where Hal and Lois are watching the inauguration of the new US president and to their surprise, it's Dewey whom is the new US president. Watching more on how he improved the less fortunate lives, brought affordable housing units and universal healthcare, the shock turned to remorse. Hal and Lois sadly realized that they should've pooled their support for Dewey instead of Malcolm. He became the US president that everyone needed.
      He quit Harvard to spite them, rebelled against their plans and left his miserable family behind. Malcolm starts up his own pop-up company, is much more humble and happier in his new life because he doesn't have his family holding him back from his own happiness.
