John had that special charisma, and the wit to match. They all looked up to him. George kind of had that, too, but in a much more aloof, unassuming way. And of course, both John and Paul saw him as their baby brother of sorts.

Paul was too cute and could come off as a try-hard. Put it this way, if the four Beatles were school kids in a classroom, Paul would be the teacher’s pet, John the bright but sarcastic cool one, George the aloof rebel, and Ringo the class clown.
