Really liked this story. And I do agree that the creators of the show went a bit overboard with Leni being just the "dumb one" in later episodes. Leni may not be smart, but she isn't a complete idiot either. This trend sometimes gets out of hand. It's the same problem I have with the Ducktales reboot. In the original show Launchpad was dumb, but also he was capable of doing the impossible and knew how to fly anything, because he is a born pilot. He even stepped up in some cases to help Scrooge and his nefues when it comes to dangers. In the reboot, the creators turned Launchpad into a complete idiot. And I don't really like it. Writing a dumb character is fine, as long as people don't go overboard with the idea. Leni isn't Patrick from SpongeBob or even Ed from Ed, Edd n Eddy. She isn't that stupid. -_-
