its not very long into..season 2, i think, maybe even late season 1, that it makes it clear dwight is antagonistic to everybody in the office, since as soon as he even sniffs power, he goes out of his way to basically make things miserable for everybody else in order to make himself look good. you basically find out this is what drives jims motivations against him. but then as the series continues, it also starts to paint it as its almost a bit of a cat and mouse game between the two, and they almost even kinda respect each other for it.

I get that, but again... Dwight is shown to be incompetent and incapable of ever getting back at Jim, and Jim often just initiates cruel pranks without provocation just because he's bored, and at times to impress Pam.

After a point it's just excessive and makes Jim the bad guy.
