User blog:Zman12346/What makes Loud house such a good moral driven show

First of all, thank you greatly for reading. I wanted to share my opinions of the Loud house as a whole and why I like it greatly more than at least 95 percent of other things I've watched. (perhaps even more than mlp)

The first thing I like is that though the plots are often predictable, they do add some nice twists at the end. (Often making the show more realistic seeming surprisingly enough) For instance at the end of the episode "Lynner takes all" (hater's gonna hate), Lynn does honor her promise to try and be a better winner and instead tries to only brag about her victories in the abasence of her siblings. This is a far more realistic ending than if she stopped gloating completely, since in real life, old habits die hard believe it or not. And to be fair, a lot of us who say we will stop doing something we really enjoy doing in real life still continue or habits in some way (think of someone who says they will play less video games, who continue to play when they know no one is looking). Another example would be "Read aloud" since you'd be expecting the family to actually win the reading competition at the end.

The fact that endings are often not 100 precent perfect also serves to teach the lesson that you cannot have everything you want in life and you must often sacrifice something even if you tried your hardest. As well as how sometimes a moral must be learned more than once to sink in completely even for the nicest people.

The plots are predictable and done before in other cartoons and the show knows this. What the show does do though is make the preidctable ride as fun as possible so you don't regret watching it though it's predictable and it actually benifits the show instead since being predictable means you can appreciate a lot of the smaller details (since you already know the plot well) a lot more and the show doesn't need to waste time with as much exposition,

There's also how the show uses gender equality very well. Though the Loud family does have 10 girls, they are all unique in their own respect. Tomboys like Lynn and Lana, and more traditionaly "girly girls" like Lola and Lori come together and are represented equally for the most part. This is good because a character is not boiled down to their gender, not even Lincoln himself (since he's a well rounded and likeable character who is sadly just as prone to flaws). This shows you that there can be more than one kind of girl/boy and all of them should be equally valued. It's much better than trying to make the one girl/boy perfect or better in every way.

It serves to teach us that we should not stereotype a gender (and there are other good boy characters in the show as well like Bobby and Clyde) or force them to change if they like what they like (a lot of "feminists today seem to enjoy making girls more boyish even when said girl likes what she likes, or try to make a tomboy more "girly").

Continuity is another thing I really like about the show believe it or not. And yes there is a very strong continuity. What do I mean by this? The show is talented enough to almost never give repeat performances. Once the character's have gotten past a flaw (e.g: in "A tattler's tale" Lola wanted to rat out secrets, in "Change of heart" Lori treated Clyde very badly even though he was very nice to her.) they stay free from that flaw (or at least on the way to amending the flaw) and do not bank back on it. The character's realize they are flawed and yet are prepared to try and be purged of their flaws, one at a time if need be. And this is what the show is mainly about with it's predictable plots. A flawed but well meaning family attempting to resolve their issues one at a time so that one day they may well become the perfect family.

Even during season 1, Lincoln despite being the main character does not usually get the brunt of the torture. Each time a conflict breaks out, usually none of the sisters (or other characters) involved escapes unscathed. This is good because it does not lump all the torture and abuse onto one character (unlike squidward in spongebob).

And by the end of season 2, the loud house has become like a united nations of sorts. The sisters and Lincoln are now usually working together on a problem from the beginning of the episode instead of them always fighting. Take Lynner takes all in season 2, when all the sisters team up together to try and stop Lynn;s gloating and contrast it to most of the early season 1 episodes. Or season 2's snow way out when the siblings are prepared to all pitch in to help Lana win her prize. Of course there are a few slightly more conflicted episodes ( like "brawl in the family") between even the newer episodes but as this show tries to show us, no family or person is perfect but the Loud family is trying to improve.

Having different personality traits and hobbies is a very good idea for each character. What's also great is that just as a character's gender does not make up their entire personality, neither does a character's hobby. Lucy for instance despite being into gothic things, does not seem any more depressed than the others. What's also good is that there are episodes that show that things would be much worse if a Loud family member gave up their hobby or took it too far (for instance in "Fools in April", Luan eventually fell into a counter prank because her pranks were so hurtful and hurt her family so badly. In "Roadie to nowhere" Luna found that though rock'n roll was a risky career, even if she gave it up in favor of a much more steady and well paying job she'd just be sad and not really enjoying her life anymore).

This serves to show us in my opinion the most important moral of the show in general which very few other shows teach anywhere near as well.

Although it's important to have a passion that drives you forward in life, any personality trait or passion or hobby falls apart when taken to extremes.

You really have to think about whether it's worth acheiving your desires and what you'd have to sacrifice to get them. In one episode, Lincoln humiliated his entire family in an attempt to get a trophy.
