Why do they make Leo so unlikeable?


I love this show but I can't stand Leo.
He's arrogant, he uses people, and he rarely feels bad about the things he does, like when he uses Bree to get what he wants. Bree is such a nice person and she doesn't deserve that.
I love Bree and Adam, Chase is okay, but I just can't stand Leo.
I'm sorry if you guys get mad at me for saying that but I just don't like him

Leo's grown on me over the season (s). At first I didn't like the character because the actor was too animated and reminded me of the lead actress/character from A.N.T Farm. I'm okay with Leo now although he's constant need to "go on missions" does get old and annoying.

In regards to the kids I'd probably say Adam (being Adam) and Chase (when he's upset) are my favorites, followed by Davenport and Eddy.

Is it me, or are the kids being written a bit more "bratty"/flippant this season?

reply

I honestly haven't noticed them being bratty, they seem the same to me lol.
A.N.T Farm is kind of an annoying show

reply

Bratty might not be the right word lol I think I miss the social awkwardness that the kids struggled with in the first season; meeting girls/boys, going to school stuff like that, living as a blended family...

A.N.T Farm and Shake It Up are both annoying and awful in my opinion yet shows like Lab Rats prove Disney can do decent family television. Oh and Dog With a Blog makes me laugh too.

That makes sense :)
I like Lab Rats and Kickin it XD

I just don't like how arrogant he is, I've never been a fan of arrogant people lol

Today they re-aired "Drone Alone"

Davenport: "Let me talk to Bree."
Leo: "Can't. You know girls--she's knee deep in make-up and unicorns!" LOL

Leo has had some good lines but I think Adam/Chase together make me laugh the most.

reply

Seriously. He's annoying and over-acts.

The episode where he tries to copy off of Bree's test and gets her in trouble really made me hate his character.

reply

He's about annoying as Chase and his "know-it-all" attitude and Davenport and his much grande EGO. Why single-out Leo as the only one when the show is full of annoyance.

Frankly, the only likeable characters is...Adam and Tasha, IMO.

reply

I'm watching the pilot right now and currently I find Donald the unlikable one.

reply

I think that's interesting, I think Adam's unlikable for a myriad of reasons. My opinion, I don't think Leo was ever unlikeable, I think in the past his mannerisms, reactions were over the top and his speaking was shouting which got on my nerves, but I've noticed that seems to be toned down.

This is the first show that my 8 yr old has liked in a long time. So of course we all watch it with her. I find Leo beyond annoying and a bit arrogant. Honestly I think it would be better if he and his mother left the show. It would be more entertaining if Davenport was a single dad to the three.

Bitch get out of my way!

LOL, of course, remove the black people. Why am I not surprised...
