Don't even know who that fag is.
Bentley Gray
Reboot when?
Logan Wilson
Leave.
Joshua Hall
Actually
The writers actually we're pissed that they were forced to work write a "the complayner is always wrong" type of character.
So they made him have a shitload of legitimate complains as a "take that" to the executives
Ryder Lopez
Anthony Thomas
You!
Kevin Walker
Lincoln Evans
Jackson Davis
Don't pull a muscle reaching like that.
Chase Wood
The writers said that.
It was the agenda pushed at the time, to always have a character going against the group think and be wrong for it. See: Get Along Gang.
Gabriel Ward
This show could have a great Avatar style reboot
Connor Bell

Link?

Not that guy, but:
"The kids were all heroic — all but a semi-heroic member of their troupe named Eric. Eric was a whiner, a complainer, a guy who didn't like to go along with whatever the others wanted to do. Usually, he would grudgingly agree to participate, and it would always turn out well, and Eric would be glad he joined in. He was the one thing I really didn't like about the show.
So why, you may wonder, did I leave him in there? Answer: I had to.
As you may know, there are those out there who attempt to influence the content of childrens' television. We call them "parents groups," although many are not comprised of parents, or at least not of folks whose primary interest is as parents. Study them and you'll find a wide array of agendum at work…and I suspect that, in some cases, their stated goals are far from their real goals.
Nevertheless, they all seek to make kidvid more enriching and redeeming, at least by their definitions, and at the time, they had enough clout to cause the networks to yield. Consultants were brought in and we, the folks who were writing cartoons, were ordered to include certain "pro-social" morals in our shows. At the time, the dominant "pro-social" moral was as follows: The group is always right…the complainer is always wrong."

Didn't find the mention so far of them explicitly making Eric right in this, but the rest is there. It's pretty insightful.
Ryder Green
Almost quoted a lot of this as well. I'd guess the current "pro-moral" messages involve "killing the past".
Charles Campbell
Never watched the D&D cartoon. Why did he do nothing wrong?
Lincoln Phillips
Charlie Bucket.
Daniel Stewart
IDW Optimus Prime, jesus christ, IDW.
Christian Mitchell
I wanna see him fight the Buddy Bears
Luis Murphy
It's not Superman?
Justin Cruz
Maddie.
Austin King
The whole trying to sacrifice a bunch of babies, and also New York in general, to a demon was a bit overboard, though.
Mason Adams
Mostly he just kvetched about having the group having to save the day or follow Dungeon Master's clues.
Luis Hernandez
Is this the best adaptation of D&D ever made?
Adrian Turner
This happened to a lot of shows. The bullshit Real Ghostbusters went through with Jeanine was infuriating.
Seems like it hasn't changed much, just two annoying groups yelling instead of one.
Juan Hill
/OURKING/
Christopher Brown
I support this OP.
Sebastian Russell
Imagine your typical episode of Naruto Shippuden where Naruto is leading a group in his typical Naruto fashion.
That was Hank, the Ranger. A moron.
/ourguy/ in the OP is Eric, the Cavalier.
He was basically the Shikamaru of the bunch. Rational to a "fault" and at all time 100% done with everyone's bullshit. Particularly, Dungeon Masters'.
Typical Eric-isms include "This is stupid." "This is a trap" "Dungeon Master can eat my dick" etc...
80's cartoons were really something.
Gabriel Ross
Probably not until they bring back Superman: TAS.
