From sweet and compassionate to self-centered and snobby

In terms of personality and appearance, the kids that played main roles in "Modern Family" had their own levels of character development. Manny Delgado had the biggest change in attitude over the years. Some fans (who may have been better off watching animated shows in which the children stay the same age) did not accept the personality shift, and it's not hard to find their opinions on the subject when searching through online comments.

When an opinion poll on Reddit asked if anyone agreed or disagreed that Manny's character was better in the first few seasons, u/alixvideoss (https://www.reddit.com/r/Modern_Family/comments/oagfpo/comment/h3hcbqo/?context=3) put it simply: "Literally no one should/will disagree." On another thread that discussed Manny's character specifically, u/Apprehensive-Box-641 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Modern_Family/comments/u0bi95/comment/i46jpnk/?context=3) commented how it would've been better to go in a different direction. "I had hoped he would become a humanitarian who finds a passion for helping people instead of being so focused on culturing himself and becoming a snob." Despite many fans agreeing with this opinion, others seemed fine with how Manny ended up.

On YouTube, there were fans like @epulmansor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4jYR_40t3U) who continued the negative reviews with "I hate Manny's character development in this show ... from a mature, wise and brave cute kid to an idiot wimp." Others had no qualms with how he changed from Season 1 to Season 11. For example, @FuegoBandzMan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4jYR_40t3U) declared, "So many people complaining about how the kids grew up and turned out to be in the show, that's how the world works, nobody stays with the same personality their entire life."
