Big Tex Arkana

Big Tex is one of the characters in the Netflix stop-motion series Buddy Thunderstruck. Big Tex is Tex Jr's father and owner of the Gold Brick Pawn shop. His plan is to steal Buddy's company by thinking up ways to make his son win, even if it means to cheat.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He's basically a Buddy Thunderstruck version of Mr. Krabs, but as a greedy boar who owns a pawn shop in earlier episodes he appeared in with "Buddy Double", "Get the Hock Out" and "Thunderstruck Rab Cab" being the biggest offers of his greediness.
 * 2) He is notable for getting people with no money to become repo men as seen In the infamous episode "Get the Hock Out" which is very illegal and he could get arrested in real life.
 * 3) His infamous scene where he laughs evilly while the screen turning to hellish red and stopped with creepy eyes.
 * 4) He got away Scott free despite his evil actions on Buddy like hiring Jacko to make everybody hate Buddy (which he got arrested for his crimes all over town), stealing Buddy's driving secrets for his son, "Tex Jr.", and even forcing Buddy and Darnell to steal other people's things just so that they can get their stuff back.
 * 5) He's also a hypocrite in earlier episodes, in "Buddy Double", when Tex Jr lost the truck race, Big Tex took it too seriously by yelling "Fart Nugget! Oh I hate me some Buddy Thunderstruck" yet he talks and made deals to him in later episodes.
 * 6) *In "Get the Hock Out", he hires Buddy and Darnell to steal other people's things without even realizing that he has furniture at his house which shows his hypocrisy side.
 * 7) He has (if not) one of the most notorious flanderization out of all the characters who appeared in "Get the Hock Out" along with Buddy, Darnell, Muncie, Auntie Uncle and Artichoke as he breaks two laws (hiring people free and stealing), yet he never got arrested for any of these, turning Buddy and Darnell into sinful criminal truckers who cares more about being repo men than their usual careers and the latter even pee in front of women in public and they both never got arrested or get punished despite their sinful actions even though Darnell is one of the show's most smartest characters which is one of the main reasons why "Get the Hock Out" was hated by many fans.
 * 8) *In Fact, the people in Greasepit were so depressed and bad that they don't even bother to go to the Gold Brick Pawn Shop to get their stuff back or call Sheriff Cannonball on Buddy and Darnell for breaking, peeing, stealing and running over things with Buddy's truck.
 * 9) He's also a complete cash cow to his son Tex Jr. since he made promotions of him with his "lucky" 13 number, overshadowing the most popular racer, Buddy just so that people would want Tex Jr to win instead of him despite his son being the least popular out of all the six racers (especially compared to Buddy's popularity among Figure 8 fans) since he crashes his truck and nobody interests in his promotions, especially the billboard Big Tex made in the episode "Buddy Double".

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) At least he got better since "The Sneezing Fits of Death" after Tex Jr. become friends with Buddy and Darnell.
 * 2) He become less greedier and cruel to Buddy and Darnell than earlier episodes.
 * 3) His boar design is decent.
 * 4) Harry Chaskin is spot on at his role.
 * 5) He is a decently funny character at times, especially in later episodes.
 * 6) The idea of a boar running a pawn shop is still interesting along with the show's idea.
