Isn't mentioned much at all in the series anymore. He used to be a huge character, one of the three, but now, he gets so little screen-time, that I have to double check to make sure he is still alive. He's also only had one apprentice, which is more than I can see for Brightheart (who will never have one now), Birchfall, and Berrynose, but still, I expected him to have more.

It's so funny in a sad way how previous main characters get sidelined in the next arcs so much, apart from Jayfeather because he's just always in on the drama. Sort of highlights how the Erins aren't really good at juggling a large cast anymore. You're definitely right about Lionblaze, the only thing I can remember him doing in AVoS was having some kits.

Yeah, it's also sad how the most annoying character from Power of Three and Omen of the Stars gets the most attention afterwards, but he is a fan favorite, and a medicine cat, so I can see why. At least Lionblaze's granddaughter is getting some attention, even if his kits didn't really get any.

Lionblaze was always bland, so i don't really notice or care. i'd care if they did this to jayfeather since his personality (while often problematic) is still way noticeable and strong than lionblaze. if one of the original three had to die, it should have been lionblaze, not hollyleaf. just like jayfeather, hollyleaf's personality was also problematic but at least she had one we could recognize

Lionblaze is bland and boring so I don't really care that he's sidelined for the most part. It's sad either way though, because all I can remember him doing in AVoS is have a litter. But yeah it's been a big problem ever since AVoS. Even OoTS had SOME side-characters thrown into focus every now and then (Poppyfrost, Berrynose, Foxleap, Cinderheart, for instance and some more I can't think of off the top of my head), and some previously POV characters still had a part in it, but as of AVoS you barely see side-characters pop up or even SPEAK.
This is why the large cast is such a problem, it's clear for the Erins it's impossible for them to juggle so many characters (Almost 50!) in one clan alongside others AND keep the plot going at the same time. They need to thin the crowd, like ACTUALLY thin the crowd, not just dump a few characters into the dead zone like actual PURGE, and things will get easy for them again. But for some reason they and the editors who manage the damn allegiances can't even be bothered to even DO THAT.

ᏞᎪᎠᎽ Ꮎf fᎪᏁᎠᎾms ミ☆ BrindlefernI think it's funny how everyone finds Lionblaze to be the boring one, I can see it, I guess, he is kinda like the best bro friend, the one who is there for support, the side-kick character, I guess XD he was kinda lame as an apprentice, but he got better as a warrior. I guess I like him the best, because he's the nicest out of his littermates. I actually found Hollyleaf to be the boring one, she was great as an apprentice, when they were apprentices, I actually liked her best, because Lionpaw was kind of a jerk, but then, when Hollyleaf's main focus became about the warrior code. However, she did get more interesting after she learned the secret, and then she was pretty cool when she came back, and taught everyone the tunnel stuff. As for Jayfeather, in Power of Three, his pov just irritated me to read.

I thought Lionblaze was sweet when he and Jayfeather interacted, I like their scenes together. Generally, the Three were sweet siblings, apart from Dark River lmao.

It's sad especially when you consider the screentime Ivypool, Dovewing, Jayfeather, Bramblestar, and even Leafpool was getting. Each of the previous mains get quite the bit of screentime, except for Lionblaze. I feel for the little lion man. I didn't even think about that, but you're right. Lionblaze probably should have kept his angsty attitude from when he was an apprentice

Jaysnow Haha XD OwlI want Graystripe to live forever just like his "daughter" Mistystar! Also, Cloudtail and Brightheart, even though Brackefur is my favorite character, I wouldn't mind if he died, so he can be with Sorreltail again. Do the cats from other clans count? Because it's probably time for Crowfeather to die, he doesn't have much to live for anyway, other than being leader someday, which I hope doesn't happen, because then Harestar will have to die. In ShadowClan, Snowbird can go, she's older than dirt, and her family is like most of ShadowClan, so she's pretty much made her mark.

I really dislike Lionblaze's character, and then there's the added fact that -- like many have said here already -- he's boring as hell. But one thing I liked in OOTS was how close Jayfeather and Lionblaze were. They both kept tons of secrets from each other, but their interactions were sweet, even though they walked entirely different paths. In PO3, their dynamic with Hollyleaf was a highlight for me, too, surprisingly.

Doesn’t matter to me really. We had 2 whole arcs of him as a main character, I’m fine with his story arc being over now.

I think it makes sense. Even Ivypool has been more sidelined, and she's very popular. Jayfeather hasn't gotten sidelined because he's a medicine cat, and since there are only ever 2-3 in the clan and they're important positions, they tend to get focus.
Personally, I rather his kits get more screentime than him. You know, the ones who have barely said a word? I'd even like more Fernsong cause he's a cutie.

I can't ever remember which kit belongs to who, like Honeyfur, Leafshade, Sorrelstripe.

He barely has personality tbh....he started going downhill after the Heather arc, and so the Erins slapped him with Cinderheart for next-gen potential. It was annoying.
The only good thing he brought after was Fernsong, because we got FernIvy after, with pretty great kits like Bristlefrost following. But other than that, he's not really credited to much.
I think this is why some people want him to be deputy, to pull him back into the narrative. Also the fact that he hasn't had another apprentice yet, is just lol...he's really over here on kit doner duty at this point.

Leafshade and Honeyfur are Larksong's littermates and are Lilyheart and Snowbush's kits. Hard to remember when they barely have personality. At least Spotfur from Lionblaze's most recent litter and Stemleaf from Blossomfall's are getting some attention. I still hope for more Fernsong since he is apparently good papa to Bristlefrost
