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) He has been flanderized beyond recognition and has lost all of his charm and likability in the comic strip, Garfield and Friends, although in the direct-to-video trilogy, it varies whether he is in character or not. During these seasons, he has gone 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 and Garfield's flanderizations.
 * 3) His voice is out of place, sometimes grating to hear, and isn't as charming as his original voice in Garfield and Friends. Jason Marsden was also responsible for providing the voice of Shnookums, another unlikable cat with a grating voice that came 11-12 years prior to him.
 * 4) He often acts smug to Garfield and sometimes blackmails Garfield into being nice to him or playing with him, possibly due to years of Garfield being mean to him.
 * 5) He is much more arrogant and mean-spirited than in previous incarnations.
 * 6) He constantly brags about being "the cutest cat in the world".
 * 7) He is at his absolute worst in "King Nermal" and "Nice To Nermal".
 * 8) * For example, he lied about his leg being broken in "King Nermal".
 * 9) His design is a recoloring of Garfield’s with no other discernible differences.
 * 10) 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 is likable and even has his original personality.
 * 2) He's still somewhat cute.
 * 3) His voice does help viewers to know that he's male, especially since some fans have mistaken him for being female in Garfield and Friends, due to his feminine tone of voice.
 * 4) He does get punished and subjected to situations by Garfield for his self-entitlement, arrogance, and pestering nature.
 * 5) * At least he was right about Garfield being mean to him during their past, which we can understand.
 * 6) He is a much better character in the comic strip, Garfield and Friends, and even the direct-to-video trilogy, and has massively redeemed himself during Seasons 3-5.
