Tow Mater (Cars 2; film)

Tow Mater (More commonly known as Mater) is an anthropomorphic tow truck who first appeared in the 7th Pixar film, mh:greatestmovies:Cars. He, unfortunately, got flanderized after he became the protagonist of the 12th Pixar film, mh:awfulmovies:Cars 2.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The role of protagonist doesn't belong to Mater, it always belonged to Lightning McQueen.
 * 2) Instead of being just a tow truck, he was reduced to being a (poorly executed) spy.
 * 3) Mater acts pretty much a jerk while towing other cars.
 * 4) Mater can also be seen disturbing other vehicles such as trains, dump trucks, etc. at Radiator Springs at the beginning of the film.
 * 5) He also wants to befriend foreign cars just because he saw them on TV, and he is excited to see them in person to the point it gets annoying really quick.
 * 6) He even made Mcqueen loses the race. Despite of losing the race, it was truly an accident.
 * 7) Mater became more of a dimwit than he was, but not in a good way unlike how he was in Cars and mh:greatestmovies:Cars 3.
 * 8) Mater also literally wasted the talent of Larry the Cable Guy.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He is more tolerable in Cars and Cars 3.
 * 2) Speaking of Cars 3, Mater had his chance of redemption in that film like giving the support Lightning McQueen needs whenever the latter feels down.
 * 3) The other characters knew how annoying he was.
 * 4) There were some funny scenes involving him, like where he went into the girls bathroom and mistaked wasabi for pistacio ice cream.
 * 5) He did a nice job as a spy, figuring out that Miles Axlerod was behind the alternative fuel conspiracy.
 * 6) "Mater, Tow Mater, Is HERE to help ya" well guest what, he did help anyone.
 * 7) Most fans still like him as a main protagonist in Cars 2.
 * 8) His hallucinations made the fans feel painfully sympathetic at him.
 * 9) He's aware of his mishaps.
