Lincoln Loud (seasons 4 and 5)

Lincoln Loud is the main protagonist of the Nickelodeon series The Loud House and its two film adaptations, and a supporting character in its spin-off mh:besttvshows:The Casagrandes. He is an accident-prone boy who lives in a house with his ten sisters. With the help of his right-hand man Clyde, he finds new ways to survive in such a large family every day.

While he was a mainly likable character in the first three seasons, unfortunately he got flanderized and derailed starting with the fourth season.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He has received major flanderization. He went from a kindhearted child who cares for his friends and family, to a bigger and more selfish jerk than he already was. While he has been jerky sometimes in the earlier seasons, it wasn't his defining trait. But in this season, this takes it up to eleven.
 * 2) He mostly has clumsy/accident-prone moments in the series, but he is not really unlucky because he's only a butt-monkey.
 * 3) *Some fans think Lincoln is unlucky, although he's not unlucky because he is only a butt-monkey and the writers made a copy from SpongeBob and Charlie Brown. Most of fans learn that Lincoln is not unlucky at all because he's only an accident-prone.
 * 4) His clumsiness has also been taken a higher level.
 * 5) *In “House Flip”, he and the Loud siblings acted like insecure idiots throughout the whole episode. He also thought of hiding Flip in the attic to avoid letting his parents know.
 * 6) *In “A Grave Mistake”, Lincoln serves chicken nuggets for funeral food leftovers, which is considered to be one of the stupidest things to come from him.
 * 7) He was very unlikable in “Kings of the Con”, as he and Clyde planned on staging a crime for them to save, which is not very heroic for a superhero themed episode and commit an act of selfishness by catnapping the Kitty to get the role, which is considered animal cruelty.
 * 8) In the episode "Grub Snub", he makes such a big deal of Leni and her friends hanging out at Gus' Games and Grub and then he tries to get Leni to leave Gus' Games and Grub. In fact, during the final round of their challenge, all of them start fighting and destroying all the arcade games which causes everyone else to run away from Gus' Games and Grub and they even injure the owner of the arcade, and somehow they are allowed back in the arcade when they are supposed to be banned from the arcade since they've done much worse in the arcade and they even injured the poor owner. You think he would have learned his lesson from Season 1's "Space Invader", right?
 * 9) He has jumped more quicker to conclusions:
 * 10) *In “Stall Monitor”, while he can be likable, he worries that his teacher has bad things to say about him, so he tries to delay his parent-teacher conference, but it turns out she had no bad things about Lincoln, meaning that he overreacted over nothing and his actions got him a week of detention and also a week of being grounded from his parents, when this could've been avoided if he hadn't jump the gun.
 * 11) *And in “Family Bonding” where he thinks his new neighbors are evil spies just because he saw them moving stuff around their house late at night, and somehow ended up being right about them in the end, which was really nonsensical and absurd.
 * 12) *He was at his absolute worst in mh:awfulmovies: A Loud House Christmas, as he, along with Clyde sabotaging his sisters, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, and Lily’s plans to have the perfect Christmas ever and the rest of the Louds’ plans of going to Miami and the Royal Woods’ Christmas Tree Light Ceremony.
 * 13) His plans aren't as impressive or fun as they were in the earlier seasons. They're more jerkish, stupid, and gullible.
 * 14) Despite being the main character, in the fourth season, he barely receives any focus at all.
 * 15) While it is nice to see him getting more focus on the show's fifth season, however, he has been getting so many episodes to the point where his parents, sisters, and other supporting characters have not been getting episodes focused on them unlike in previous seasons.
 * 16) Sometimes he is shoehorned in an episode and/or is only used as filler, like Deep Cuts, Don't You Fore-Get About Me, Ghosted!, Blinded by Science, Diamonds Are for Never, Dad Reputation, etc.
 * 17) He gets into a bad mood in the episodes "Mayor Loud", "Lincoln the Bad Guy" and "Bad Mood Bro" against everyone.
 * 18) In The Loud House Movie, Lincoln is revealed that his sisters always overshadowing him and decides to take his family on vacation to Scotland by become Duke of Loch Loud.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite his jerkiness, he still cares for his family and friends. In addition, he sometimes has his original personality.
 * 2) He was better in Seasons 1-3, as he wasn't as much as a jerk in those seasons. Plus, the show wouldn't be the same without him.
 * 3) *In addition, he slightly improved a bit in Season 5, as he isn't that jerky there.
 * 4) *And his design was way better in Seasons 1-3.
 * 5) He has his original personality at times, and is likable in a lot of episodes:
 * 6) *In Friended! with the Casagrandes, Ronnie Anne does indeed video chat Lincoln, on her phone. Lincoln then tells her how her big city life been. Ronnie Anne tells him it's great, and a funny thing that she thought she saw him the other day, but it was an old man with white hair, where Lincoln tells him he gets that a lot, pulling back his hair. He gets trampled by his sisters, which are Lori, Luna, Lucy and Leni, telling her it is breakfast time, and that he needs to go down before one of his sisters swipe his bagel. Ronnie Anne says "Smell ya later".
 * 7) He still has his fair share of good and funny moments.
 * 8) To be fair, his selfishness is admittingly justified since he is very young and has to deal with his annoying sisters.
 * 9) Still nicely voice acted.
 * 10) In the whole show, unlike his sisters, his friends are very annoying.
 * 11) Lincoln's new friend by season 4, The Governor of Royal Woods who defends him from everyone for the kid's attention, is a very good, likable and positive friend just for him.
 * 12) In following seasons, his relationship with his sisters is now positive, especially with Lori, Leni and Luna who now really loves him, (for example in "Brotherly Ship", "As Loud Would Have It", "Save the Day", "Season's Cheating", "Lincoln Saves Christmas", "Lori Days" and "Rescued!").
 * 13) In the series, Lincoln learns that he's not bad luck because he's only a victim of his own clumsiness and accident-proneness. He also learns that bad things happen to him sometimes which it never makes him unlucky at all because he's still having a good luck.

Trivia

 * As of "Schooled!", he and his friends now attend middle school.
 * He has more focus in Season 5 and The Loud House Movie.
 * He is similar to SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants who is funny, clumsy, accident-prone, annoying, mischievous, geniuses, creating plans, nerdy, have buck teeth and freckles.
 * He is not really unlucky because he's just clumsy and accident-prone like SpongeBob. Lincoln and SpongeBob were both clumsy and accident-prone characters. This is a good fact because in the episode “No Such Luck” that Lincoln said he's never bad luck in the series.
 * He really loves his sisters (mainly Lori, Leni and Luna).
