Why do so many Hey Arnold! fans dislike Lila?


Is it because she's perpetually cheery and optimistic? Because of how up-front she is with Arnold about the fact that she doesn't "Like him, like him"? Because all the other characters (except Helga) really like her?

The reason that I dislike Lila is because she has a phony goody two shoes personality. I have known "perfect" people like Lila, but they turned out to be even more mean and vicious than those that were mean to your face.

Because she keeps leading him on.

Why I'm ever so certain that I dislike her because of how she speaks. It is oh so much dreadful to listen to her lines in each episode she appears in.

But in all seriousness, she is just a boring character.

she comes off as nice, but has too much of a nice and "perfect" trait. It's unrealistic.

No one in real life is as perfect as Lila is made out to be. I mean, she's as smart and sweet as phoebe and as pretty and popular as Rhonda. (maybe even more)! Like give her a flaw lol. I feel like she's a child version of Helga's sister Olga.

Plus I don't like the way she leads Arnold on. First, she starts liking him, then when Arnold starts return the feelings, she decides she no longer "likes him likes him". How can she change her mind over night? Makes no sense lol.
