User blog:AustinDR/The Most Useless Characters

(More to come.)
 * 1) Luna: It's funny how Luna's overrated by the fandom, but in reality she is underrated in the actual show. With Season 3 on its way, Luna had done absolutely nothing for the majority of the season. Really, the only times that she contributed anything to an episode was "11 Louds a Leapin' " and "LIFL." While I agree that the song that she plays in the Christmas episode was rocking, most of her subplot was just her trying to figure out what song represented the spirit of the season. And "L if for Love....." I do love the episode (I still wouldn't say it's the absolute best episode the show has to offer), once again, it doesn't really add much to Luna's overall characters. So she likes girls? Who cares? And despite that, she received even more praise from the fandom, even though the show already has a same sex couple, so I don't see why they are acting as if this is groundbreaking. Which reminds me: does Luna even play instruments anymore? In the first season, that was mostly her character, but as of late.... I honestly don't remember her really playing much anymore. Look, I don't care if Luna is a bisexual (well more like a blank slate according to Savino), but unless she actually contributes more to the story, I'd have to write her off as pointless.
 * 2) Clyde: Besides the nose bleeding running gag, I also find him useless because he is a Lincoln clone. Well, not as much a clone, but his personality isn't too dissimilar to Lincoln's. They both share the same interests, they both sometimes receive bad fortune, etc. Really, other than his obsession with Lori, this makes Clyde very hollow of a character because his personality rubs off on Lincoln's.
 * 3) Ronnie Anne: There isn't really much to say about her character. I disliked her after the episode "Heavy Metal," because it gave off the bad impression that if you're getting bullied relentlessly, it could be that the bully likes you. While she got better in her next few appearances, she still bullies Lincoln albeit in a more playful fashion. If Lincoln doesn't have enough to deal with at home, but he also has to be mistreated at school too? What's worse was having her and Bobby move away in "Relative Chaos." I couldn't even bring myself to care about Ronnie Anne leaving because we barely knew anything about her other than she was Lincoln's friend (with a rocky relationship) and that she was a tough girl who had a more sensitive side. That's it. Bobby appeared in more episodes than her for chrissakes! I wish that Clyde would've moved away instead mostly because we know far more about him than we ever could of Ronnie Anne.
 * 4) Leni: Oh gawd, a controversial one. Look, I do love Leni; she's adorable with her cluelessness, she is very pretty (but I wouldn't go as far as to insert myself into the show to be with her; that'd be weird), and she is generally friendly and good-hearted. However....the jokes. Yes, I know that Leni is a brainless girl, but do you need to have joke after joke to further reinforce this notion? It wouldn't be so bad if she actually serves a purpose in some of the episodes. But she doesn't. If anything, more often than not, she's only played as the dumb blonde stereotype who sometimes misunderstands what she is told. The worst offender is definitely "Lynner" because she threw the board game out after mistaking the euphenism "throwing the game" as literal. It doesn't help that much like Luna, she gets pushed aside a lot when it comes to the other sisters. The only real time that she was remotely helpful was "Change of Heart" where she actually gives Clyde good advice on how to deal with his obsession with Lori. Other than that, she is a one-note character who is played for stupidity far too much.
 * 5) Lily: She's a baby. She doesn't have much of a personality. Lily only exists to be the cute factor for the show, and is often played for toilet humor.
 * 6) Luan: Barring a few moments where her puns are funny, or how she's a criminal mastermind when it comes to April Fool's Day, I find Luan pretty pointless as she's there mostly to provide comedy belief.
