User blog comment:AD744/Character Appreciation - Week 32: Lightning/@comment-25285054-20170808185433

Personally I have trouble enjoying Lightning because he just feels so disconnected from the show. Most of his lines blur together because they usually have nothing to do with the episode, and the few interactions he had with other characters such as Cameron and Jo usually relied on one joke and got stale fast. He's just kind of...there. In no way was he relevant enough to justify him being a finalist.

Also his brief arc as an outright villain felt...confusing and forced. He wasn't outright antagonistic before it and All Stars acts as if it never happened, so like..why? It just felt like he was shoved into it so we had someone to root against.
