User blog:Dragonzako/Opinion on Luna

Well since I’ve turned 16 since St. Patrick’s Day, it’s time to become braver by talking about a beloved character in my opinion which is going to become controversial. At least I’m warning you. I’m still keeping my original Luna blog post, but decided to make an updated one instead. So let’s do this.

Luna overall is just a character I don’t care about which makes sense of why she is a neutral character. I’m about to list out of why I don’t like her. Her character liking music makes it pretty hard for me to like her since I’m not into music. Not to mention I find her singing terrible, but that’s also because I don’t like singing in general (it’s personal). The only song I’ve ever liked that she sung was tricked; the rest was just annoying or bad. That actually limits anything I have in common with her since I’m not a fan of music. Her other gimmicks also just annoy me like her British accent and her punk rock words. The reason her British accent annoys me as she isn’t British and what’s the point of doing it, granted she doesn’t do it all of the time, but when she does it, it annoys me. Not to mention a minor gripe I had with Roadie to Nowhere is that she said her dad thinks he’s British for a taking a course in England, so what gives you the right to do your British accent like your dad? Lynn Sr. doing it also annoys me, but he doesn’t do it as much as Luna does. Luna’s words like brah, bogus, pop star, etc. just come off annoying and it makes her come off as a bit of punk rock stereotype.

So if her gimmicks and interests don’t make me like her, then I go into episodes and that doesn’t help her at all. In House Music, she says twice that “music is all about fun” since her idol, Mc Swagger said that so she already knows the lesson and yet when she hears her idol is coming she forgets everything she said a few minutes ago and it makes her look like a hypocrite. So she acts like a jerk and then tries to make her own new song and that goes terrible. To me, it felt she was sadder that she couldn’t make a song and less about her own siblings. Not to mention something I hated that this episode did was that she was sad and missed her siblings somewhat and instead of maybe trying to make it up to them or just apologize right there, she goes to a diner. Still only cares about the song. Not surprised. She meets her idol in a disguise who reminds her of the lesson she clearly knew and she immediately realizes again and goes to make it up to her family. Why? Her idol telling her the same thing she knew for possibly a long time just comes off stupid to me. Not to mention it’s just sad that she clearly misses her siblings, but instead still cares more about her song. It just seems she cared more about her idol than her own family considering how she didn’t care she made her dad cry until later. She goes back and makes it up with them. Overall nothing special, my opinion it’s an overrated episode that’s passable at best. In For Bros About to Rock, they introduce something interesting that Luna is wild and can sometimes lead to some people getting hurt, granted she isn’t doing this on purpose and this kind of similar to Lynn’s roughness. But this doesn’t go anywhere. After Linc is warned by his other sisters of how Luna ruined their concerts or anything musically related event, he decides to go to Smooch without her, but brings his sidekick/clone. She’s there and after embarrassing Linc and Linc snapping at her, she leaves. Linc and Clyde get caught and are thrown in mall jail, not really important. Luna comes in and tries to get them out in a disguise and Bobby ruins it. Then she gives the reason of why she liked rock n roll and it doesn’t do anything. In fact, it’s just lazy to me. All it does is Luna in a Mc Swagger concert and instantly she changed into her current self, not really a fan of those types of flashbacks. I would have liked that it was more of a slideshow where she gains interest in music, but gradually over a course of time starts to become more and more into music. That at least would be better than a very quick flashback that doesn’t really convince me to like her. They get out because somehow the mall captain is touched by the flashback yet I’m not. They get into the concert and Linc tells Luna to be her wild self and they get to the front. Also somehow Luna doesn’t say she’ll decrease her wild side as it is a problem to many around her. Look, it’s perfectly fine to be wild, but there’s sometimes where you can decrease it when it becomes a problem to others especially your loved ones. If Lynn, Lola, Lori and Luan had to decrease some of their habits that were considered problems in other episodes then why can’t Luna decrease that habit? It’s another passable episode at best. L is for Love was also passable, but some of it comes from the plot kind of being boring. Not to mention, I just didn’t care that Luna was bisexual as it doesn’t change anything. I was surprised for a few seconds and then it didn’t matter to me anymore. They never gave any development to her about this and it felt forced. This is the only time I felt they were cramming LGBT into this for the sake of it and not because they actually were planning on doing this. Roadie to Nowhere is just a meh episode to me. She’s doing well in music and because a teacher says that Chunk didn’t achieve his goal and said the exact same words as Luna leading to Luna thinking she will fail. She rides in the van with Chunk, she doesn’t even seem to know that Chunk has a house and then she starts thinking to quit music, but go in a different way to keep her musical talent alive, but use it in a different way. First of all, why didn’t she know that Chunk had a house considering how she has him as her roadie and I think she would at least know some things about Chunk considering how she has been with him for some time. Second of all, why would she quit her music thing just because Chunk didn’t achieve his goal and said the same thing as her? It comes off stupid since just because someone didn’t achieve the same goal as you doesn’t mean you’ll fail so her motivations to quit comes off very dumb and confusing and not to mention just weak. She tries to use her musical talent in different areas so she can still be musical, they fail and she gives up. Lisa gives her a pep speech and she decides to quit music and goes into what her parents are doing to get a new ambition. It feels like two plots in one episode. She goes back to tell the teacher from the beginning that she doesn’t want to continue music and notices a flier for Chunk’s performance. Chunk has a band and technically achieves his goal as he does have an audience and has a band so he did succeed in the end. Overall it gave a weak motivation for Luna to quit her dream and gave two plots in one episode and it comes off as a confusing and boring mess. Luna to me is the most static of the siblings and has zero character development while the others at least had some development or a lot.

You want to know the saddest part. The scene where Luan threatens Linc in Garage Banned shows more character than in her three or four focus episodes. Let’s be honest here, nobody is always chill as everyone has a breaking point this showed that Luna isn’t always chill and can get mad. It wasn’t a good scene, but actually gave some character to her unlike her actual focus episodes. People obviously complained about this scene and said how Luna was so “OOC” which came off so stupid. Luna has showed anger before as she did scowl at Linc in Making the Grade and blasted him out of her room in Loud 4x House so she can become angry or did some episodes like Sweet Spot, House Music, Room With A Feud, etc. just slip by their minds. Thankfully, not all of her fans have done this and some non-fans also complained about this scene.

Sometimes fanbases can change your opinion on a character. Normally that doesn’t happen except for a few rare cases like Luna’s. Now just because there are toxic Luna fans doesn’t mean there aren’t nice ones out there and I’ve seen the nice ones. Granted the toxic Luna fans are unfortunately the most visible ones and are the ones I’ve bumped into the most on the wiki. I’ve met a few nice Luna fans, but the toxic ones impact my view considering how they act like Luna is some “guardian or nicest sister” which I find complete garbage. But even if I take away the toxic Luna fans from my opinion on Luna, it won’t change as the toxic fans don’t affect much of my opinion on Luna.

To put it short. Her musical interest doesn’t get me interested enough, her singing mostly annoys me, her British accent is annoying, her slang words get annoying and feel so out of place and her character episodes don’t do anything to make me like her and the fact she has the least development of the Louds (zero development) and is static which leads to me to not caring about her. Now that I think about it, maybe Linc should get a boost considering how he is improving and I do sort of care about him unlike Luna.

Hopefully this one won't become heated. Also remember this is just my opinion.
