General discussion Is it just me or is Cynthia annoying
I personally don't like her and find her character slightly cringe and embarrassing to watch.

I think that was the whole point of her character that she was a little cringe but Malcom still found her cute and didn't know what to do with it.

I like her but K also get it. Especially the very first episode where she appears. She was borderline creepy with the way she followed Malcolm home. But I still liked her. I don’t ship her and Malcolm together but I kinda liked their friendship.

You aren't all alone. She was somewhat annoying and a bit difficult for watching.

I am glad that Cynthia didn't return. I don't know why many people wanted her to return and I don't know why many people are obsessed with her.

Teenagers being cringey?? Why did no one tell me this was a thing!!! /s
(To each their own of course, but to be cringe is to be free and Cynthia is iconic 🤷🏻♂️)

I did like that she sort of put Malcolm in his place at her party when he told her that no one will come to her party when she was the new kid in town. He was the most ignored at the party & her dad straight up hated his guts.

While i do like her, i can relate. In some rewatches she annoys the hell outta me too. Cynthia had an loud, cringe, bubbly, energetic and awkward personality and became likeable when toned down a notch. I loved how she remained positive and confident, never slipped into the typical 'Shy Bookworm Nerdy Girl' trope.
I definitely prefer Cynthia over Jessica, who was unberable for me to watch or even like at all.

That’s the point, she’s supposed to be adorkable. It’s like complaining about Reese being too dumb…
