Why Boy Meets World Fans Can't Stand Cory In The Later Seasons

Cory's lack of personal growth frustrated fans

For the first three seasons of "Boy Meets World," we see Cory juggle life as a middle schooler while often getting sage advice from his neighbor and teacher, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels), or his parents. It's a pretty solid formula as Cory attempts to understand more about growing up. But does Cory grow as a person and truly learn anything by the time the series moves him into his high school and college years?

That's debatable, according to Reddit, as a post by u/ginime called out how unlikable Cory becomes by Season 6, because it feels like he doesn't learn anything. And that's probably the lightest thing said about him by some fans. "He does seem to become more grounded in GMW ["Girl Meets World"], but if I'd known Cory in real life, I'd have punched him more than once, u/Stigweird85 posted.

Like a massive sore thumb, what sticks out so negatively about Cory in later seasons is how often he mistreats his family and friends, despite supposedly knowing better from earlier seasons. One example is the Season 7 Episode, "Brotherly Shove," where Cory decides to clean out his family's garage with Topanga and Shawn instead of with his brother Eric (Will Friedle). Cory doesn't realize that it hurt his brother's feelings because it feels like a reminder that Cory never wants to spend time with him. This contrasts the Season 3 Episode, "Brother Brother," where Cory expresses similar feelings when Eric is about to leave for a summer road trip. We would have thought that Cory would have initially understood Eric's feelings immediately in "Brotherly Shove." Instead, it takes a verbal blow-up in a hospital, and an explanation from Topanga, before Cory finally gets it.

I love when Cory is there to defend Topanga when their teacher named Stuart does nothing but think that he can do whatever he wants to do with her and not suffer a price.

God bless you always!!!
