Why He Rocks

 * 4) He is shown to have a great friendship with Dory.
 * 5) He is kind-hearted and intelligent.
 * 6) His character development: with help from Dory, he overcame his overprotectiveness, eventually becoming a happier father as the movie progresses.
 * 7) He even helped Dory find her parents in the sequel.
 * 8) Aside from not telling good jokes, he is also fun-loving, as he and Dory had such fun jumping through the jellyfish forest and racing Nemo to the fish school.

Bad Qualities

 * 2) He can be too protective.
 * 3) He became overprotective again in Finding Dory, which contradicts his character development in the previous film.
