Nermal (The Garfield Show, seasons 1 and 2)

Nermal is a character in the Garfield franchise and is a main character in The Garfield Show.

Why He's Loathsome

 * 1) Like Garfield and Jon, he has been flanderized, he changed from a nice cute cat into a self-absorbed jerk.
 * 2) He was extremely unlikable in "King Nermal" and "Nice To Nermal".
 * 3) He lied about his leg being broken in "King Nermal".
 * 4) In The Garfield Show, he often acts smug to Garfield and sometimes blackmails him into being nice to him or playing with him, possibly due to years of Garfield being mean to him. He is also much more arrogant than in previous incarnations.
 * 5) Once when Garfield saved him from being attacked by dogs in "True Colors," he showed ungratefulness by telling him that saving him was stupid, despite the fact that Garfield got beat up for trying to help.
 * 6) He has the worst flanderization in The Garfield Show, probably even worse then Jon and Garfield's flanderizations.
 * 7) He constantly brags about being "the cutest cat in the world".

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There are some episodes where he was nice and helpful to Garfield.
 * 2) He's still somewhat cute.
 * 3) At least he was valid about the fact Garfield himself was mean to him during their past, which we can understand.
 * 4) He does get punished at times.
 * 5) He is a lot more likable in the comics, Garfield and Friends and even the direct-to-video trilogy.
