Big Nate

It's a very unfunny show. I didn't get engaged with the characters, the humour is not funny at all and made me pause the episodes several times, the episode plots are insanely boring and filled with pointless scenes that go on for too long. Not a great show from what I've seen, hopefully it can improve in the next season's since I like the big Nate comics...

Great and well thoughtout adaptation of the comics and also feel like the original big nate novels in a way. The animation style is nice. The only issues are the voices which are not always great. I dont know if nates voice fits him perfectly, however the principals voice sounds exactly like I thought it would, the jokes can be trying too hard but most of the time are funny and some jokes for adults too. I dont think these are enough to drop the score though because as a long time fan of this comic strip, everything feels like it works perfectly.

The Flanderization of the characters is out of control. Flanderization is named after Ned Flanders. Its when you take a multi dimensional character and reduce them to a few over exaggerated traits. Nate went from being a kid who sometimes goofed off in class to stealing his teachers dentures. It replaced the more deadpan humor of the comic strip with broad slapstick. On its own it would be a fine show but this isn't Big Nate.

I admit that I didn't have very high hopes for this show after the Diary of a Wimpy Kid animated movie soured me on animated adaptations of books. However, I gave it the benefit of the doubt because I loved both the comic strip and the books.

This show is actually faithful to its source material and definitely far better than anything else Nick's made in the past several years. Everyone is in-character, the jokes are actually pretty clever, and the animation is gorgeous; while the show is CG-animated, it imitates stop-motion very convincingly and in a way that complements the character designs well.

There's also a lot of medium blending involving Nate's drawings, and they all look just as they did in the original comic strip.

I definitely recommend this show, especially if you were already a fan of Big Nate. 8/10.

I have to say after watching the trailers, Big Nate looked quite promising and I'm usually not interested in modern day Nicktoons, but after I got a taste of this show I was still somehow disappointed. I've never read the Big Nate comics but this show just isn't interesting or funny. The animation is honestly amazing I will say with this being one of the Paramount+ Nickelodeon shows. I admire how much of a budget they put into this show visually, but that's all I really could find pleasing. The plots are really uninspired and juvenile, most of the characters are annoying, and the jokes are unfunny. Nate himself is more of an obnoxious wrecking ball than a sympathetic character so it's hard for me to understand him. A lot of the dialogue doesn't tell us who these characters really are and characters say really pointless things at times. This show like many modern Nickelodeon shows seems to have a gross-out obsession for no reason too. I'd recommend skipping this one even if you're a fan of the Big Nate comics, I'm sure the comic books are good but this show isn't. It doesn't even translate well with the source material.
