LostForest 01/20/21 2:22:06 PM #18:	TBH I feel like Leela is one of the better written female characters in a comedy. She had a good balance of femininity vs masculinity, to the point it made her feel like a regular person. She's not always right, she's not always a prude. But at the same time, she's also not portrayed as stupid or nasty. Sometimes she's funny, but she also has plenty of heart. In a show goes with over-the-top gimmick characters, I think they did a good job of making her feel like a female everyman.

Lunar_Savage 01/20/21 2:34:46 PM #24:	I personally thought she was rather well written given that Matt Groening's team weren't exactly used to telling a big story with continuity. Also, while she was humorous, I got the feeling she was more of a straight man character anyway...even if the situation was absolutely silly. I will admit she has some of the weakest episodes though with exception to the ones dealing with Fry's love or her parents (among the strongest, especially when she finally meets her parents), but we all know it is because these plots were written in advance and the core of the show. --- Number of Mega Cookies given: (::::) 31 Tips top hat, adjusts monocle, and walks away with a cane.

Darmik 01/21/21 1:14:19 AM #46:	Isn't the joke with Leela is that she'd be the hero in a typical sci-fi adventure show (even has a mysterious past where she believes she is the last of her species) but is instead stuck working for a weird delivery company with a bunch of weirdos who are mostly incompetent?
