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.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Like Garfield and Jon, he has been flanderized, being changed from a nice cute cat into a self-absorbed jerk.
 * 2) He has the worst flanderization in The Garfield Show, probably even worse than Jon's and Garfield's flanderizations.
 * 3) His voice is out of place and isn't as charming as the original Garfield and Friends.
 * 4) 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) He constantly brags about being "the cutest cat in the world".
 * 6) He was extremely unlikable in "King Nermal" and "Nice To Nermal".
 * 7) He lied about his leg being broken in "King Nermal", which is an insult to people whose legs really got broken.
 * 8) One time 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.

Good Qualities

 * 1) There are some episodes where he was nice and helpful to Garfield.
 * 2) He's still somewhat cute.
 * 3) His voice does help viewers to know that he's male. Especially compared to his original female tone of voice.
 * 4) At least he was valid about the fact Garfield himself was mean to him during their past, which we can understand.
 * 5) He does get punished and subjected into situations when around Garfield like he does to Odie at times.
 * 6) He is a lot more likable in the comics, Garfield and Friends and even the direct-to-video trilogy.
