It seems there isn’t much love for the character lately, but why is that? There are plenty of explanations to be found in the Reddit thread.
For starters, Manny carried a more mature attitude as a child, which was refreshing compared to other kids, but that hasn’t translated very well into adulthood. While the rest of the Pritchett, Dunphy, and Tucker-Pritchett kids have matured over the years, many Modern Family fans feel that Manny has done the opposite: become being a whiny, entitled, know-it-all child as he’s gotten older.
“They had him grow up to be an insufferable, pretentious hipster ‘intellectual’ who somehow still doesn’t know how to pronounce the word espresso,” one Redditor wrote. Another noted that they’re endlessly irritated by Manny’s need to give someone in the family a lecture in “every damn episode,” usually with his typical high-and-mighty attitude.
