It feel likes her character is underwritten and has been reduced to a supporting character opposed to a main one, alongside Fry and Bender. It feels like they don’t know how to write for Leela as her strong personality is completely gone. Her and Bender were the best characters in the original series for me.
My friend has a theory that they changed Leela to make her more compatible with Fry. I don’t agree with that. I just think Leela is a difficult character to write for as she is one of the most complex characters in the show, and the people who wrote for her in the original series aren’t there anymore.
