Was Benjamin really a bad guy?
I personally didn't find Benjamin to be that bad of a guy, he did seem to have some good in him and never really did anything bad unlike most bad guys you see in the movies.
shareHe intended to make Wayne lose his show and steal his girlfriend. That's pretty bad.

Yeah, but in the mega-happy ending, he tells us(in so many words) how he's learned the error of his ways. lol Most bad guys don't do that. Then again, most bad guys don't suffer the indignity of a body cavity search before mending their ways. lol

Insincere people often proclaim they've learned their lesson but he showed no evidence of it.

Do you mean his tongue-in-cheek delivery of the lines? All the actors in the mega-happy ending delivered their's in the same way. AND, going by the fact that the sequel went with what happened in the mega-happy ending, I'd say Benjamin kept his word as Wayne still had the rights/creative control to/of his show and Cassandra wasn't held to the contract she'd signed so could pursue the new one with Mr. Sharp.

I mean the words not backed up by his actions. He did nothing to rectify his actions while Wayne is the one responsible for Mr. Big giving Cassandra a deal.
There's nothing to indicate Benjamin kept his word because he didn't give any word to give. He didn't say he was going to make sure Wayne got his show back.
This dues ex machina seems very important to you. Maybe you think you'll have your own Mega Happy Ending one day. Well, maybe one day.

Seriously? If he stayed the same as he was portrayed throughout the movie, Wayne couldn't have still been making the show in the sequel or Cassandra signing with Sharpe Records. THAT version of Benjamin would have been like "You signed contracts so I own the show and Cassandra and her band and I'll do whatever I please with them. Including forcing Wayne to not do the show anymore and keeping Cassandra tied to my contract without actually letting her produce a record thus ruining and/or stalling her music career.". Now tell me...is that what was happening in the sequel?
**edit**And, my stating this has nothing to do with whether it's "important to me" or not. It's me observing what's happened in the movies and applying a little logic/common sense to fill in a minor blank. After all, there is a reason why it's called the mega-happy ending. But, as has been my experience, common sense is anything but common.

Such a baseless change without any evidence, Mr. Big probably hired a lawyer. It was a real simple choice for Benjamin letting Wayne have his show back since it was worthless to him without Wayne and Garth.
Anyways, you're really boring me. Keep living the big dream.
Ignored.

Haha, about the reaction I expected. The equivalent of a child sticking their fingers in their ears and going "Na na nana nah! I can't hear you!". lol

How's this? He was convincing enough in his words. You act as if he was John Dillinger, he was a guy who loved making money and didn't care who to step on to do it, people like that can easily change if given a little humility (cavity search).
shareI would like to think they did keep him being a good guy and let everyone out of their contracts, but it is also possible they could have done it without his help.
Noah discovered new popularity by having Wayne make fun of him so Noah would have not agreed to keep supporting the show if Wayne didn't get to do it his way. Benjamin would have lost money on the project if he was just being vindictive to Wayne.
I think Casandra only agreed to make the one video with him, which Mr. Big could have had one of his lawyers get her out of, or she could have went back to do the video and went with Mr. Big after.
