This episode could have been better. The main problem with the episode is that most of the genderbent versions of all the characters were way too similar to their original counterparts, so much so, that they were almost exactly the same.

One of the problems was the voice acting. With some of the characters like Lief and Lexx, they put no effort into changing their voices and they sounded exactly like Lana and Lola. I get that they wanted to keep the original voice actors for some of these characters, but they should have told them that they should make their voices a bit more masculine or a bit deeper or something.

Second, aside from the fact that they all acted like a bunch of disgusting jerks, there were no differences in the personalities of the characters. Loki, for example, acted exactly like Lori, texting his girlfriend, 24/7 and bossing everyone around, which is a bit weird for a male. I'd accept this behavior on any other guy, but if he's intended to be the genderbent version of a female character, he should have at least some more masculine traits.

The names, also, were not very clever genderbent versions of the Loud sisters. It feels like the writers started thinking of male names for the characters, starting with the oldest and going to the youngest, and after naming Luc, they gave up and just started throwing out random male names starting with "L" and just affiliated them with the characters. Linka, was the only really clever one.

Lastly, the scene where Lincoln traveled to a dimension, where he was a girl, was a pretty cringe worthy scene. Her brothers were apparently treating her with respect, solely for the fact that she was a girl and nothing else, which doesn't make any sense. They also zoomed in on Linka's face, trying to give the audience the illusion that she was still a he, but her hair clip and eyelashes, etc. were painfully visible in multiple shots, before the big reveal, where they zoomed out.

What would have been good idea, is if they had Linka's dimension, be a dimension where all the Loud kids were girls. That way, he'd wake up with his sisters coming into his room, acting the same as they always do, tricking himself and the audience into thinking he's back home, only for one of his sisters to start calling him Linka, and then they'd reveal that he's actually a girl. Then, the scene would have actually been pretty good.

Overall rating, 4/10.
