Big Nate

This show is a disrespect to the comics it based on. First, the comic-style humor of the comics are changed into cheap TV gags. Second, the stories are repetitive. Third, everyone looks so uncanny here, especially Nate himself. Lastly, the voice acting is generic. Everyone should steer clear of this Nickelodeon trash.

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.

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.

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.

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...
