>>47421177They want a passive episodic point of view character(to preserve a doraemon-like image) but at the same time an ongoing development. Its either one or the other, those two things can only work together for a bit if the show hits an eventual end. This makes him a bad character.
>But there's plenty of those, why the hate?Well, what I said above isn't the result of incompetence as it happens with 99,9% of bad shows/characters, in this case its entirely intentional, they WANT people to grow up and get tired of him and just focus on the next generation of audience to do the same to them.
The Simpsons've sucked for a long while, for instance, but it wasn't intentional, they never wanted people getting tired of them. If they could magically produce episodes as good as the earlier ones they would.
