>>108714002I don't *hate* the show-- I still like the art style and music to this day, but Doug himself was annoying and rather self centered, only to usually be handed a win out of any given situation he was in. Shit got old real fast. Dude even outright told Chaulkie's dad that his kid cheated on that test (but...okay in all fairness Doug was justifiably pissed by that point and the entire world had been blaming him for that.)
Sure, it's just a kid's show, but he is very over reactive to thinking that every situation he gets into will be the end of him/his social life/his whatever, but everything always works out. It felt disingenuous. He has also at times proven to be a very disloyal friend who threw and utter shit fit over the possibility that Skeeter turned out to be a genius. Not even that this meant Skeeter was (again) at risk of movie away and their friendship would be strained, but that Skeeter, despite being so weird, was smarter than Doug himself.
