Spike Bulldog (The Tom and Jerry Show, 2014)

Spike Bulldog (or simply Spike) is a character from Tom and Jerry. While he used to be likable back in pre-The Tom and Jerry Show, he was flanderized in The Tom and Jerry Show to bring unlikable.

Why This Variant Sucks

 * 1) He has been flanderized badly and because of this, he got a drastic change in personality. He went from a dog that was Jerry's sidekick against Tom to an annoying jerk that hurts Jerry as well.
 * 2) He cannot take responsibility for whatever he does. If he is forced to go to places he doesn't like, he blames the other characters (mostly Tom and Jerry) for not helping him. If he is forced to stay in the cage, again, he blames Tom and Jerry for being rude, even though he is rude himself.
 * 3) As it is stated above, he can be a hypocrite sometimes. He complains of various things, yet he does them as well (for example fighting).
 * 4) He can be mean-spirited at times. In one episode, because Quacker went by accident in Tom's mouth and eventually entering inside, he beat up Tom, even though he was asleep!
 * 5) Even though he claims to be tough, he can also be a coward. For example, he fears Hannible in one episode, even though he barely does anything to him other than teasing/threatening him.
 * 6) He doesn't care about others. He uses Tom and Jerry as decoys or as defense means very frequently.
 * 7) He is also depicted as a stereotypical "Tough Guy". Just like Muscles Mouse, he makes Meggy look like a badass!
 * 8) He is incredibly lazy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, he is decent and not mean-spirited.
 * 2) He's nowhere near as bad as Muscles Mouse, Flippy, or Nick Ashby.
