Dora Márquez (seasons 5-8)

Dora Márquez is the main character and hostess of the Dora the Explorer franchise. She is a heroic Latina girl who embarks on countless adventures in every episode in order to find something or help somebody in need. While she was in character in the first 4 seasons of the show and Lost City of Gold, she was sadly flanderized in seasons 5-8.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) To start off, her voice sounds very annoying to listen to for some listeners.
 * 2) Every time she repeats the same question to the viewer, it gets very annoying.
 * 3) Similar to the seasons 9-14 and movie counterpart of Barney the Dinosaur, she was flanderized just because she didn't teach children the right things.
 * 4) In the episode "Boots' First Bike", she was always trading too much to find Boots the right bike.
 * 5) Hypocrisy: In the same episode of the 5th season, she said that she wanted to help Boots to find him a new bike. Yet, she didn't do the same thing as her past look.
 * 6) She doesn't allow any villain in the show to be punished no matter what they do, making herself look immature and unrealistically forgiving.
 * 7) While she was exploring random places without her parents' permission, why does she get help from the viewers to find her goals?
 * 8) The Backpack song with her pals gets very annoying at times.
 * 9) She can be a Mary Sue at times

Good Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, she was very helpful with some people.
 * 2) She was a much better character in seasons 1-4 and has massively redeemed herself in The Lost City of Gold
 * 3) Her voice also sounds very nice.
 * 4) Some questions she asks the viewers can always be very nice for them
 * 5) Depending on your view, her design is still very cute and iconic in these seasons
 * 6) She's still very optimistic
