So back in the 80s, if you had a cartoon with a group of friends you were more or less contractually obligated to have an Eric. You know, the lazy or headstrong one who complained about the mission and/or argued with the leader and was always proven wrong in the end to show that going along with the team is always the best solution. Yay, conformity in the name of cooperation! The thing is, the leader that was always right was usually also the most boring character and kind of full of himself. And, especially if you're revisiting the show as someone who's slightly older than than the target audience, the whiner's objections to the mission are actually an entirely reasonable response to whatever ridiculous situation the group was facing. So that type of character ends up being a lot of people's favorite, even though they're specifically designed to be the unfavorite.
