Adventure Bay has a lot of lovable characters. But there's one that divides Paw Patrol fandom. Here's what we know.
Paw Patrol has a diverse cast of characters. And like any popular series, viewers have strong opinions about which characters stand out and which don't. While the pups are widely adored, Alex hasn't been so lucky in winning over the audience.
Who Is Alex Porter in ‘Paw Patrol’ & Why Isn’t He Well-Liked by Fans?
Alex Porter, Mr. Porter's grandson, is one of Adventure Bay's youngest residents. He absolutely loves the PAW Patrol and even tried to start his own mini-patrol (how cute is that?). Alex has a ton of energy, but that's also where the trouble starts.
Why don't fans connect with Alex? It's pretty simple. He often acts without thinking, jumping into situations that are way over his head. He has good intentions, but his plans usually backfire. Before you know it, Ryder and the pups have to drop everything to help him out.
What Do ‘Paw Patrol’ Fans Think About Alex?
“But the most annoying character is Alex! By far in fact! A show meant to educate children, Alex seems to be one of those characters used to help children learn what not to do, like pick up sea turtles (even though they did that in the movie) run into the road, drive one of the pups' vehicles or ride a cow into the town. Other kids in the show don't seem to get into as much bother as Alex, nowhere near,” one fan on Reddit shared.
Yes, but: not everyone views Alex this way. Some fans appreciate the character for his enthusiasm and childlike wonder. They see his misadventures as realistic depiction of the curiosity and learning that come with childhood.
“Alex is so innocent. He seems really happy and doesn't deserve all the hate. He really shows all his happiness on Paw Patrol. I'm just the odd one out but he doesn't deserve all the hate,” another Redditor pointed out.
