User blog:Thomperfan/Leni's moment in Kick the Bucket List

OK, this is something I feel needs to be said. Leni has been getting a lot of flak for a moment she had in Kick the Bucket List, where she thought a rock was Lincoln. I do not have a problem with this, but a apparently a lot of people do, so I'm going to give my thoughts and tell you why I don't think it's as terrible as everyone makes it out to be.

First of all, the rock had a picture of Lincoln's face on it. Take a look for yourself:



See? It has Lincoln's face and some of his body on it. And Clyde himself said he was doing a him and Lincoln thing, and seeing how Clyde is someone Leni trusts and how naive she can be, it's not a stretch for her to assume this rock with a picture of Lincoln is actually Lincoln.

Second, Lincoln himself is not there. If Lincoln was actually in the same place as the rock, and Leni saw both of them, and she assumed the rock was actually him, then it would be a bit of a problem, but Lincoln was not there to speculate the rock is not him, so...

Third, this isn't the first time Leni has mistaken stuff for other things. Remember, in Driving Miss Hazy, she thought Lily in a squirrel suit was actually a squirrel and she freaked out. So this is pretty much like that, where she thinks a rock with Lincoln likeness on it was Lincoln and she just said hi to him and asked it to watch Lana and Lola for a second while she went to the bathroom. Not exactly that bad if you ask me.

So there you guys go. I explained why I don't think this moment was bad/out of character for Leni. And it really stinks that some people are using it as a reason to say she's flanderized. This doesn't just apply to Leni, none of the main characters are flanderized. They are still the same characters we've all come to know and appreciate. Also I'd like to point out that we're only 3 seasons into this show. So I think it's a little early to start calling out flanderization. Please don't take this blog as an insult, I just wanted to give my thoughts on this topic. Take it with a pinch of salt, please.
