Nate el grande

I saw it coming on one day. I had a feeling I had watched it before but it said new. So I recorded it. Man, I love it. It is a fun, simple show. Great to watch as a final thing before going to sleep.

I love the animation. It does not look cheap. It reminds me of a show that would have been on in the 90s. Which I find interesting.

I love the characters. Each is easy to see and figure out. They are just kids. Friends, enemies. Simple stuff.

The stories are fun to watch. I get so into the episodes.

Never knew there were comics on it. I will check those out one day also.

I watch this from FIOS. I find it more fun that way. I can look forward to an episode each week.

Great and well thoughtout adaptation of the comics and also feel like the original big nate novels in a way. The animation style is nice. The only issues are the voices which are not always great. I dont know if nates voice fits him perfectly, however the principals voice sounds exactly like I thought it would, the jokes can be trying too hard but most of the time are funny and some jokes for adults too. I dont think these are enough to drop the score though because as a long time fan of this comic strip, everything feels like it works perfectly.

Fantastic soundtrack, awesome writing and funny jokes. Love this show. If you like Clarence from CN and want something similar but very different at the same time, gotta check this out. The characters are hilarious each in their own way. My favorites are the dad, sister and male teacher with the glasses and pet lizard.

Favorite ep is when Nate gets stuck doing figure skating and learns from one of his classmates how to skate. The chest hair gag was really funny .

Plus, the art style is cool (lots of great texture) and different from most of the other cartoons out there. There was a cool scene with a tornado. Stands out in all the best ways.

Only gripe is that the episodes can run a bit shorter.

I have to say after watching the trailers, Big Nate looked quite promising and I'm usually not interested in modern day Nicktoons, but after I got a taste of this show I was still somehow disappointed. I've never read the Big Nate comics but this show just isn't interesting or funny. The animation is honestly amazing I will say with this being one of the Paramount+ Nickelodeon shows. I admire how much of a budget they put into this show visually, but that's all I really could find pleasing. The plots are really uninspired and juvenile, most of the characters are annoying, and the jokes are unfunny. Nate himself is more of an obnoxious wrecking ball than a sympathetic character so it's hard for me to understand him. A lot of the dialogue doesn't tell us who these characters really are and characters say really pointless things at times. This show like many modern Nickelodeon shows seems to have a gross-out obsession for no reason too. I'd recommend skipping this one even if you're a fan of the Big Nate comics, I'm sure the comic books are good but this show isn't. It doesn't even translate well with the source material.

This show is a disrespect to the comics it based on. First, the comic-style humor of the comics are changed into cheap TV gags. Second, the stories are repetitive. Third, everyone looks so uncanny here, especially Nate himself. Lastly, the voice acting is generic. Everyone should steer clear of this Nickelodeon trash.
