User blog:Weavillain/Is It Fair To Say That Luna Loud is Bland?

I can't help but notice that Luna's been getting flack for not being a very interesting character as of late, to the point where some people have been labeling her as "bland". I have two major reasons for why this "phenomenon" has been happening.

1. Her lack of spotlight and relegation to the background hasn't done her favors in standing out in a prominent way, which lends to the impression that she's nothgng more than a one-note background character that spouts lyrics.

2. It's deliberate resistance, an attempt to go against the grain by not fawning over Luna because they believe she's overrated and not worthy of the admiration she has.

Of course, I'm not here to present myself as someone with unquestionable authority on the matter; these are simply my thoughts that are welcome to be disputed by dissenting opinions, provided that they're respectful in presentation.

But anyway, if I were to consider those two reasons, then I'd have to say that it's unfair to write Luna off as "bland" just because of those reasons. Now, Luna may not a huge favorite of mine, but even I can acknowledge that she has plenty of appeal, and it goes way beyond being a "nice sister"(🙄).

Along with Lincoln, Leni, Lori, and Lucy, she has one of the strongest, fleshed-out characters on the show. In light of fans bemoaning her lack of attention and focus in Season 2, her introspective spotlight, no matter how limited one thinks it's been, is something to be admired; she has a backstory that explains her passion, we've seen how her ambition can blind her better sense of judgment, and we've watched her deal with a personal insecurity with admirable bravery.

Through all of that, I understand Luna more than most characters in the show, and I personally don't find that sort of introspection to be boring (it's one of the huge anssons why I like Lori so much). That being said, I can understand and accept it if some people still consider her a "bland" character; I just don't think it's a fair assessment.
