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 an 11-year-old (later 12 years old) student at Royal Woods Elementary (later middle school)

While he was a likable character in seasons 1-3, unfortunately he got flanderized starting with seasons 4 - onwards.

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 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.
 * 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 animal cruelty.
 * 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 this 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) Tex Hammond and Asher Bishop both do a good job voicing him in these seasons.
 * 4) His design is still great.
 * 5) 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.
