Lincoln Loud (seasons 4 and 5)

Lincoln Loud is an 11-year-old elementary student at Royal Woods Elementary School, and the main protagonist of the Nickelodeon show The Loud House. and a supporting character in the spin-off The Casagrandes. While he was a likable character in Seasons 1-3, the same can't be said for Season 4-present.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He has received major flanderization. He became from a kind hearted 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) *Season 4 was the true beginning of his flanderization, and it has worsened as of Season 5.
 * 3) He also became a huge punching bag is these seasons as well, just like Season 1. Seasons 2-3 had to tone this down after heavy backlash from fans, but it has become more prominent as of Season 4.
 * 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 unlikeable in "Kings of the Con", as he and Clyde planned on staging a crime for them to save, which is not very heroic, and commit an act of selfishness by catnapping the Kitty to get the role, which is animal cruelty.
 * 8) He has jumped more quicker to conclusions. Like in "Stall Monitor", he worries that his teacher has bad things to say about him, so he tries to delay his parent-teacher conference.
 * 9) His plans aren't as impressive or fun as they were in the earlier seasons. They're more jerkish, stupid, and gullible.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite his jerkiness, he still cares for his family and friends. Including his sisters. In addition, he sometimes has his original personality.
 * 2) Some people still root for this character, despite his flaws.
 * 3) 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.
