Lincoln Loud (seasons 4 and 5)

Lincoln Loud is the main protagonist of the Nickelodeon series The Loud House and a supporting character in its spin-off mh:besttvshows:The Casagrandes. He is a 12-year old student at Royal Woods Middle School.

While he was a 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 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) He also became a huge punching bag in 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.
 * 3) His clumsiness has also been taken a higher level.
 * 4) *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.
 * 5) *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.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) *He is at his worst in the episode "Grub Snub" where he makes such a big deal of Leni and her friends hanging out at Gus' Games and Grub and then she 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.
 * 8) He has jumped more quicker to conclusions:
 * 9) *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, 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 week of being grounded from his parents, when this could've been avoided if he hadn't jump the gun.
 * 10) *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.
 * 11) His plans aren't as impressive or fun as they were in the earlier seasons. They're more jerkish, stupid, and gullible.
 * 12) Despite being the main character, in the fourth season, he barely receives any focus at all.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite his jerkiness, he still cares for his family and friends. 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.
 * 4) *In addition, he slightly improved a bit in Season 5, as he isn't that jerky there.
 * 5) His design is still nice.
