You have to keep in mind that the other characters with similar flaws didn't have ALL of Lagoon boy's flaws and also had some qualities to compensate for those flaws. For the others, we got the reasons behind their behavior and got to see them learn and improve. For Lagoon boy, he doesn't seem to have tooo many qualities to make up for his flaws and we have yet to learn the reason he acts the way he does. I figure he'll learn and improve by the time someone rescues him but for now, even the other team members don't seem to like him.
