Yeah, the execution is the issue more than the fact that he exists at all. 4-0 is super contrived to railroad Phoenix into presenting forged evidence in a scenario where he doesn't need to do it. I also think he'd be a much better character if he simply weren't Phoenix Wright.

It also annoys me that it happens like two months after the end of 3-5. You couldn't put a little more space between the two? Phoenix is good as any lawyer could ever hope to be, and then two months later, he's disbarred. It feels like it's done in poor taste.

Let's not forget the fact that Phoenix could never have possibly forged that evidence himself on such short notice, meaning it's obvious someone set him up to begin with.

Phoenix being disbarred is legitimately one of the worst-executed plot twists I've ever seen in a game. The series never recovered from it.

Yep. They spent several years trying to figure out how just how to undo all the damage it did. When AAI and then AAI2 came out, people thought the AA series was completely dead because of what AJ did to it.
