Eliot Kid

Eliot Kid is the titular protagonist of the infamous obscure French-British TV Show, Eliot Kid. He is known to have a huge imagination, specifically for blockbuster film scenarios, which often gets him as trouble when he tries to stop them.

Why It Is His Fault

 * 1) He is just an immature, selfish, unlikable, and stupid Gary Stu protagonist who does awful things just due to his imagination.
 * 2) Every time he gets punished, he doesn't learn from his lesson and only do something stupid the next episode, thus showing no character development at all.
 * 3) He doesn't appreciate most of his friends either, as for example, he once covered ice all over Mimi because he thought she was turning into a younger boy, which in turn he thought his Aunt Margot the "witch" was responsible.
 * 4) Speaking of Aunt Margot, Eliot constantly thinks she is a witch just because of her ugly appearance, and using certain "potions", and even after the events of "Aunt Margot" and "Shrinking Mimi", he still believes she's a witch!
 * 5) He barely appreciates his family, and often gets in their way, and even after making their lives hard for over 50 episodes, he still doesn't learn his lesson.
 * 6) Mediocre design, which looks like a reject from another cartoon.
 * 7) Of course, as said, he does terrible things just due to his imagination, and even sometimes not because of his imagination. Some examples of him being terrible include:
 * 8) * In the premiere episode, "Wedding Impossible", he thinks his cousin-in-law to be, Jeff, is a spy, and thus locks him in the basement at night. Then, he locks his mom and Zoe in their room and makes his friends do other various tasks to sabotage the wedding.
 * 9) * In "The Bathroom Monster", he worries there may be monsters in the toilets, so he thus goes to the girl's bathroom and floods the sink to fight it.
 * 10) * In "Eliot Goes For The Bananas", he believes that his dad is turning into a monkey, and then proceeds to ruin his machine to stop it, driving someone who was gonna visit them away.
 * 11) * In "The Teeth Have Ears", he first get's scared that his teeth filling is a device used to spy, and that they are gonna spy to win his mom's contest. Then refuses to eat his dad's broccoli lunch so he can go to Mimi's house. However, when forced to, he still doesn't, and ends up landing himself in his room after repeated annoying.
 * 12) * In "The Virus Code", after hearing how "Viruses know what they're doing", he goes to Mimi, who has chicken pox, and tries to "decode" her chicken pocks, which only make the situation worse, and ends up getting Kaytoo sick as well.
 * 13) * In "Igor", he thinks Igor uses his music to hypnotize everyone in town, and thus ruins his instruments.
 * 14) Sometimes he can be a Karma Houdini, such as when he doesn't get punished for destroying Igor's instruments in "Igor", as mentioned above, and only a talk to. The frequency of him avoiding comeuppances is much rarer in Season 2, although.
 * 15) Overall, him and the other bland and unlikable characters is what makes the show awful all together.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He slightly improved in Season 2, though not by much.
 * 2) His character premise, a boy who imagines blockbuster film scenarios, is very interesting,but like his show, was executed poorly due to his various flaws.
 * 3) He has good intentions at heart.
 * 4) He can be likable in some episodes, especially in the finale, "Life Without Mimi".
