User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Do So Many People Like Tyler?/@comment-25027229-20150826001327

I've never cared for Tyler all that much. Slapstick and pain wears out very quickly for me, so having a character who's gimmick is getting hurt again and again and again just doesn't interest me unless it comes out of nowhere to surprise me, like Lightning randomly punching Scott once in TDROTI.

Anyways, most of his fans like him because he's honest and loyal to Lindsay without ever being ruined as a character. It's why people like Noah and Dawn. They haven't had the chance to ruin themselves with derailment or negative development because of their lack of screen time.
