Big Tex Arkana

Big Tex Arkana is one of the antagonists in the Netflix stop-motion series Buddy Thunderstruck. He is the father of Tex Jr and owner of the Gold Brick Pawn shop. His plan is to let Buddy lose a truck race and sell Thunderstruck Trucking by thinking up ways to make his son win, even if it means to cheat.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) To start off the list, He is often notable for being an CloudCo Entertainment and Stoopid Buddy Studioos ripoff of Mr. Krabs and Moneybags from the Spyro the Dragon series due to them all depicting as greedy animals who treat the main protagonists like crap (SpongeBob, Spyro, Buddy Thunderstruck and Darnell Fetzervalve) and does illegal things in episodes he appeared in (though that turned down in the Sneezing Fits of Death onward) with "Buddy Double", "Get the Hock Out" and "Thunderstruck Rab Cab" all being the infamous offers of his greediness.
 * 2) The infamous scene where he laughs evilly while the screen turned to hellish red and stopped with creepy eyes like a hairy boar demon which shows how monstrous and greedy he is.
 * 3) He got away Scott free despite his illegal actions in earlier episodes, examples are in Buddy Double where he hires Jacko to make everybody hate Buddy (which he doesn't look anything like him) by insulting everyone in town and shifting the entire blame on the real Buddy (who is innocent by the way), In Thunderstruck Rab Cab, he team up with Jacko again along with Robby Burgles and Artichoke to steal Buddy's driving secrets, both of which just so that Tex Jr would become more popular than Buddy in truck racing and get his own trophy.
 * 4) * Speaking of which, the most infamous thing he did is where he once hired two people despite them having no money to pay him by the way, forcing them to scam and take other people's items away despite them already paying for them properly, becoming heartless and cruel to other people who got their stuff from his pawnshop so that two people can get their stuff back, what's even worse is that he never got arrested by Sheriff Cannonball for his actions.
 * 5) He has double standards as shown in "Buddy Double", when Tex Jr lost the truck race, Big Tex took it too seriously by yelling "Fart Nugget! I hate me some Buddy Thunderstruck" yet he talks and made deals to the same guy who is his son's rival in later episodes of the show.
 * 6) *Also in Buddy Double, he realizes that Tex Jr is the "New Cat's Pajamas" only because of him taking the lead in a truck race before Buddy arrived late and just of him to win the cash money along with the trophy without even noticing that Tex Jr has the most unluckiest race number which cause his truck to fall apart and lose the race and being the most hated out of all the six racers which shows his hypocrisy side yet again.
 * 7) He's also known for being a cash cow towards his son Tex Jr. since he made terrible and even false advertisements of him with his "lucky" 13 number just so that he can overshadow Buddy despite him being the very popular racer in Figure 8 which everybody were very interested to see the race just for him winning and not Tex Jr including the billboard in which Big Tex made to prove his son's "good luck" in the episode "Buddy Double".
 * 8) He's extremely mean-spirted and unlikable in the infamous "Get the Hock Out" episode for illegality hiring Buddy and Darnell without any money to pay him just to trick them into scamming and stealing other people's things so that they can get their stuff back from him to the point of the other residents apart from Muncie and Artichoke becoming too depressed to punish or call Sheriff Cannonball or Deputy Hosienberry on them for their actions, after Buddy realized that Muncie was right about stealing other people's things and made bad deals with him are against the law and told him to give everybody's stuff, what does Big Tex do? he refuses so and become a spoiled bully over the stuff that the main duo have stole until Artichoke, the "Sheriff Cannonball" of this episode, arrived for his stolen bike, even Muncie have good points on why Big Tex is a huge jerk to other people who made bad deals with his repo men.
 * 9) He only cares about wanting Tex Jr to win a truck race so that he can steal Thunderstruck Trucking rather than celebrating Buddy's endless winning streak.

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 pawnshop is still interesting along with the show's idea.
 * 7) He got some karma from Artichoke along with Buddy and Darnell for stealing his motorcycle mistaking it for a chopper in Get the Hock Out, though this isn't enough to remove him from the Karma Houdini party.
