Animated Atrocities 190 || Brawl in the Family [The Loud House]

[@AnimeArchaeologist]

The worst part of Brawl In The Family is that Lincoln is written as the audience's stand-in rather than as Lincoln.

[@darkestccino5405]

I think you typed that wrong.

[@AnimeArchaeologist]

@@darkestccino5405 I mean, Lincoln is horribly out of character here. He should know that his sisters are fighting, what to do whenever that happens and explain it to the audience.

[@gamepopper101]

Yeah, I can only imagine that he doesn't know stuff only because the audience doesn't know stuff.

[@tidepodpadthai2633]

It'd make more sense if it was Lincoln explaining to Lily, since she's a baby so probably hadn't seen this happen before

[@markfischer1778]

One thing that infuriates me about the episode is, in a season one episode, Lincoln actually DID get involved in a fight between two sisters, specifically Lynn and Lucy, and fixed the problem. The moral of this episode completely contradicts with that other episode.

[@anthonyr4186]

And to add insult to injury, this episode is paired with Baby Steps, the episode that shows how much of a good brother Lincoln is.

[@frostyfreezyfreeze54]

That episode is a way better version of "Brawl in the Family." It has a similar premise, but keeps things a lot simpler.

[@blekksverd]

"In this house, we have a sister protocol." Isn't this the sort of line the show would usually have Lincoln say to the camera? You know... because he would already know this.

[@AnimeArchaeologist]

Yeah! Then, add Bobby and/or Clyde in this too as the outsiders.

@@insulttothehumanrace3807 well obviously the protocol explanation skipped Lincoln because he's a boy, but included all the younger siblings because their girls. As for why Clyde was told, I got nothing, maybe to make Lincoln look even more stupid than he actually is?

Lincoln is explaining crap to the camera half the time, yet he doesn't know this.

[@mesektet5776]

Two sisters get into a very low stakes petty fight and the entire rest of the family rearranges resources, time and living spaces to adhere to it? This means every single child in a family of over a dozen can effectively hold the house hostage on a whim. Seriously, bad parenting.

[@Lobstro]

Something I have noticed after watching so many Animated Atrocities is that writers need to be very careful when they put something gross or frustrating in a story, because those things can legitimately make the story unpleasant unless there is a satisfying payoff. An example of a character in a frustrating situation done well is Candice from Phineas and Ferb. You empathize with her frustration at never being able to bust her brothers, but the show gives her little victories in other aspects of her life to make up for it, like being loved by her family or being successful in getting a boyfriend.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Or the part where Candace went along with the boys to have fun with the inventions.

[@danielasarmiento3101]

Or she does some thing that warrants frustration

[@DianaGohan]

It also works because though Candace isn't trying to bust her brothers just to mess with them or ruin their lives she has an aggressive annoyed attitude about it that makes her efforts also come off in enough of a negative light where you get why she doesn't really succeed, especially with how positive Phineas and Ferb are usually portrayed. Like the idea is she brings this misery on herself by trying to bust them when she would probably find more fun/entertainment playing along but can't because of her own ego. Which yeah doesn't work in situations like this where you would leave the problem alone if it wasn't interferring and messing with your own life.

[@ChainsawGenie]

Phineas (to Candace, angrily): Why are you trying to bust us anyway? Did you get in trouble for doing the same thing? [Candace rubs her right arm nervously] [Phineas and Ferb quickly realize how messed up their series/world is] Ferb: This explains so much. Phineas (to Candace): Look, Candace, I... Candace (to Phineas): You know what? Do whatever you want. I don't care anymore. [With tears welling up in her eyes, Candace walks back inside the family home] [and into her room] [before pulling out a box filled with scrapped plans for her own childhood inventions] [She rifles through them] [before finding one that will not only outdo her brothers' current project] [but teach her mother a important and long overdue lesson] [Candace picks up her cell phone and inputs a certain number] Candace: Hello, Fleemco...?

[@____David]

It works because Candace is doing it out of her own will, she is constantly being frustrated but you know she can stop and just hang out with Stacy or Jeremy whenever she wants to, it's sort of like Elmer Fudd's pain not feel totally unfair because he could stop hunting Bugs whenever he wants

The big failure of the episode is treating Lincoln like a character who doesn’t know anything. Most of Lincoln’s friends would have been better candidates for main character here.

[@AutZentus]

Yeah, this show already established that lincoln is the middle man who has studied his sisters' behaviors and has a good idea on how to resolve and settle their differences. So to have an episode that just throws that out the window for the sake of having a plot really does break things here.

I love how a lot of the conflicts in the loud house can be resolved with the simple solution of Lincoln going to sleep over at Clyde's house for a few days until it all blows over. It proves how deep an thought out the plot actually was.

[@TacomasterStudios]

Crazy idea for a Brawl in the Family “fix”: There is no fight protocol, but everybody usually still tries to stay out of the way when two siblings get in a fight. Lori and Leni once again start the fight, though not for the reason displayed in the episode. When Lincoln sees this, he himself quarantines himself in his room, trying not to get involved. The fight does eventually encompass the entire family, not due to Lincoln’s interference, but due to a type of domino effect where one sister in a fight with another sister gets into a fight with yet another sister. Even Lincoln inadvertantly gets involved near the end. The episode resolves with the parents telling them to make up. At the end Lincoln says “why does this always happen?”

[@thaddeusr.3967]

The worst part of this episode is that the blame is put entirely on Lincon. That sends a really bad message.

[@jorgerosado2087]

Ok. I THINK I may have a way to fix this premise. To begin, have Lincoln already know the protocol. Like a NORMAL PERSON. Have the sisters tell him not to intervene. Of course, Lincoln tries and fails. Then he decides to ask his parents, but they’re busy preparing for the storm (alternatively, have them try methods that don’t work). Then Lincoln could maybe coast for the rest of the week, since his life isn’t in shambles. Then it gets to the point where the fight intrudes on his personal life, and he asks Clyde for advice. While he may not know how to handle sisters, he knows how to handle fights. He tells Lincoln that he should try to understand the fight from both sides and attempt to reach a compromise. Then Lincoln tries again and successfully manages to resolve the conflict (the actual reason for the conflict could vary. You could keep the same one from the episode and maybe spin it into Lincoln being a bit frustrated that they made a big deal out of nothing). Look, it’s not perfect, but it’s a better alternative.

[@tidepodpadthai2633]

Brawl in the Family is another Loud House episode that contradicts an earlier episode, Space Invader, where Lincoln ends up in the middle of a fight between Lynn and Lucy, has to deal with having Lynn as a roommate, and in the end solves it by taking initiative instead just letting things play out. And, once again, even though he's not entirely blameless here, Lincoln is portrayed as the one solely responsible for everything falling apart, not the sisters or parents who enabled, and helped escalate, the conflict(s).

[@theroleplayinggamer837]

My biggest issue is how everything revolves around this fight. It makes Lori and Leni both look self-centered for dragging everyone else into their drama, and forcing their lives to change drastically until they make up and move on. The episode focuses solely on making Lincoln miserable, but the conflict really derails the entire family’s way of life.

[@spongeintheshoe]

Lori and Leni weren't making everyone change their lives to accommodate it. They were doing that on their own.

This episode confused the hell out of me. I just remember how, in the first episode, Lincoln knew his sisters so well that he knew how to get each of them away from the tv, as well as other episodes where he handled the conflict between other sisters. So why is he failing now? Sometimes it feels like the writers have a hate-boner for Lincoln. I have an idea: How about instead of this Sister Fight Protocal nonsense, we can all help the Loud Parents go carpet shopping. I'm thinking Navy blue. That might encourage them to paint the walls as well.

For the record, I blame Lori and Leni for making the sister fight protocol happen in the first place. Especially Lori. She could have accepted that she and Leni could have the same matching dress, but instead, they both have to act like immature children make a mountain out of a molehill.

We're just stuck watching the character we're focused on be absolutely _powerless_ to resolve their situation. Why would anyone think that's a good idea?

I think this episode was somewhat inspired by Space Invadef. But it failed to realize that what made Space Invader work was Lucy and Lynn had a legitimate reason to have a fight.

Another way to write this episode Licoln knows about the protocol and hates it because it means he's stuck in his room bored until the fight blows over. He decides to try and resolve it to prove the protocol isn't necessary and ends up accidently making it worse. Everyone keeps telling him to let it "run its course" and Licoln gets frustrated and says why is the house being punished for a fight between only two of them and storms off to stay at Clyde's house. The sisters fight over making Licoln leave and then as they fight, they realize he's right. Once Licoln comes home, they agree to revamp the protocol to if the sister's fight, both go out to enjoy their favorite hobby until they calm down and the rest of the family let's it happen. Boom done

[@DianaGohan]

Now I'm pretty sure the whole "sister fight protocol" was able to pass through the writer's room for two specific reasons 1. They thought of it as something that only the sisters would know about and that it just never got bad enough in front of Lincoln until this episode for him to know about which... yeah if even freaking Lily and other people outside the house know about it seems high doubtful. But also 2. "We find this concept funny and since this is just a comedy cartoon we can abandon logic for the sake of a story just to tell jokes." And... sorry no, there are some shows that can do that but shows like Loud House can't. You want to know why; If you are a show that is all about teaching lessons and morals and having characters go through arcs, you HAVE to have a consistent logic and focus in your world otherwise you come off as annoyingly preachy and pandering and no kid is going to want to invest in that. There are several episodes of shows like Spongebob Squarepants, Aqua Teen Hunger Force heck even Teen titans Go that seemingly spit in the eye of continuity or character bits or basic structure of how the world works for the sake of a joke/plot. See Spongebob's "Life of Crime" where he and Patrick were just going to leave Bikini Bottom after thinking they stole a balloon. I guess you could argue there's some sort of moral of "stealing is wrong" but it's not taken seriously enough at any point to feel like a lesson so you can get away when they just abandon logic and character intelligence for the sake of goofy scenarios. However the Loud house is NOT that kind of show. Heck this episode is all about trying to actually seriously teach Lesson "don't interfere with these problems let them simply play out" to Lincoln so in order for that to work it still has to maintain some level of cohesion with it's world and with it's rules. And yeah though I'm not the biggest fan or anything if you have seen other episodes you know Lincoln not only knows about his sisters having lived with them but would know about such major routines that just trying to escuse it as a "girl thing" doesn't work and with this kind of show trying to excuse it just for comedy especially with the kind of jokes they tell don't work either.

Also, the concept wasn't really funny.

[@DianaGohan]

@@spongeintheshoe Well when I did the quote I was talking about the writers considering there's a lot of concepts especially in later episodes they seem to think is really funny even for kids but aren't so it could be seen as a more subjective thing. But yeah my whole point on "you can't throw away continuity in a show about trying to teach lessons cause the world needs to work within your lessons" holds.

You have to wonder if the parents are afraid of their children if they just allow this kind of thing. Eventually they must have realized that the kids have strength in numbers and are doing everything they can just to stay alive.

[@thomasraines1396]

Considering Lynn has shown to get physically violent and Luan’a “pranks” require a bunker for the family to hide out in, it’s not surprising that they’re afraid, especially the dad who (at least from what I’ve seen) a massive push over.

I guess you could say that The Loud House did replace SpongeBob. As in it's the Nicktoon that Enter is now tearing to shreds.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

Now we just have to wait another 15 years for The Loud House to get better and for another decent show to air that quickly becomes inconsistent with quality. Rick & Morty doesn't count.

[@SunnysFilms]

Also, I think you could make this episode work fundamentally if you changed the following: 1) Have Lincoln already know the protocol and make it clear that, while the sisters fight all the time, fights of this magnitude are rare and Lincoln hates them because they tend to disrupt the household. This actually makes his grievance stronger because he's already gone through fights like this and already has reason to hate them (and it would explain how Clyde knows the protocol too). 2) Remove the parents from the storyline. Have them just leave the older girls in charge for a day or weekend for whatever reason before they start fighting. It makes the situation worse, without making the parents incompetent enablers - which would also give Lincoln more incentive to step in since his parents aren't there to do it themselves. There, fixed your shit for you, Loud House.

[@LegoSkellyDude]

This entire episode is on the level of Da Boom Crew, where the entire premise is a plothole. And to add to that, reducing all the main character to merely tokens for their personalities.

This episode is straight up cancer. I have sisters, we fight sometimes, and when it's time to resolve things we do so like actual mature people. This episode is just an insult to sisters everywhere, and it should be classified as "The writers hate children and think child abuse is funny". Now someone call CPS on the Loud Family please!!!😡

[@adamgoncalves1591]

I’m starting to think that the real reason why Lincoln wasn’t allowed to do what he wanted to do at the beginning of the episode is because the sisters only care about making his life a living hell and they just don’t like him.

[@nicholassims9837]

Ya, know. This really could've worked if Clyde was staying the night and had no idea what the protocol was. And kept inadvertently making it worse. Just without constantly dunking on Lincoln for no reason. Just rework the entire episode and maybe it would be functional.

[@nicholassims9837]

[@amaibambina]

I think the only way for this episode to work is if Clyde was in Lincoln's place. As in he's the one to accidentally make the sisters fight. With Lincoln trying to help but makes everything worse. I think if Lucy said "it's a girl thing" instead of sister, that would make more sense for Lincoln not to understand tbh. My biggest problem with this episode is how Lincoln gets all the blame for it and the sisters keep stealing of his stuff. Even if he did make things worse (bc of trash writing) the sisters should still be held accountable for causing so much problems too.

I couldn’t agree more. This episode is really aggravating for us viewers to watch due to the sisters being out of character, Lincoln torture moments, forced humor, and the plot just makes no sense. The writers did this episode very wrong.

You know what would make this episode somewhat work? If they found the protocol from somewhere else. Say this fight has been going on for forever and the sisters are desperate. They find a bogus conflict Revolution book or something but Lincoln is at a friend's house so he doesn't get a chance to read it until the protocol has already been implemented. It's still stupid but it would explain why he wouldn't know what was going on.

Honestly, I do feel that the entire fallout of The Sister Fight Protocol might be the Sisters(I think Lori and Leni set aside their conflict so that they could focus on teaching Lincoln a lesson) who planned to purposely destroy it by pretending to fight against each other as a way to make Lincoln learn his lesson

If you ask me, Lincoln not knowing the rules of sister fight protocol makes no sense since he lives there! I mean, I for one have terrible memory sometimes, but even I would remember something this important! You know, I think this would have benefited from being a Clyde focused episode, have him come over to lincolns house to find out about the sister fight protocol, and since it involves Lori, he'd be instantly inclined to fix the problem to make her happy

[@TheLuckystar96]

I've had this theory for a while that this episode was trying to be a subtle metaphor for dealing with sisters going through menstruating/PMS. To me that explains the mood swings, how the family just decides wait it out, and Lincoln being excluded from knowing the protocol, taking the place of the little brother who wasn’t given the talk yet and isn’t aware of what's going on. Not saying this theory completely absolves the episode of all its issues but it makes it have a bit more sense to me personally.
