User blog:ComicRater/ComicRater’s Top 6 Big Nate Girlfriends!

Hey guys! ComicRater here. So today, I am ranking Big Nate’s GFs and Dates!

I will be ranking them on how likable they are, if they had good arcs, how they treated Nate, if they lasted long, and if they were compatible.

Also, none of his girlfriends were perfect, so my opinions could change in the future.

Let’s get started!

Number 6!
Abbey

There was nothing good about her.

Likability: 1/10

Good Arcs: 2/10

Treatment: 1/10

Length: -8/10

Compatibility: 1/19

Number 5!
Trudy

This might be a shock to some, but I don’t really like Trudy. First, I will talk about good things. She was decent to Nate she they first started dating, and they seemed to be decent together. But, some might not agree, it became kinda forced when they were together, in my opinion. In fact, to me, their whole relationship felt more like a good friend type relationship and not a romantic pairing. Also, her treatment to Nate was pretty bad. She was stupidly oblivious to Nate clearing not enjoying himself. And her not wanting to hang with Nate’s friends didn’t make much sense to me. Although, she did mature Nate in a way (Don't take that out of context, Yoda!). And when she broke up with Nate, she didn’t seem sad at all! A few strips later, she was talking to 7th grade boys like nothing happened. Overall, Trudy was my least favorite “official” pair with Nate. I wish they had gotten more time together before Peirce made them having problems.

Likability: 5/10

Good Arcs: 5/10

Treatment: 3/10

Length: 4/10 (Although they lasted decently long, there was only about 2 months of them being a couple before problems)

Number 4!
Daisy

Daisy wasn’t great, but I found her more likable than Trudy. They had some cool scenes, but not too many. In my opinion, the arc was stretched way too long, and there was obvious filler arcs. Overall, she treated Nate pretty well. She saw he might be a good boyfriend, and wanted to get to know him! She wasn’t really that rude to him when they were on their date, too. And I like that they realized they both didn’t have an interest in each-other. Also though, there was not much development between them, so I could find myself liking her too much. Daisy was a very fast character, and not much going for her. Overall, Daisy wang great, but I liked her slightly better than Trudy, which is a big factor for me.

Likability: 7/10

Good Arcs: 4/10

Treatment: 8/10

Length: 3/10

Number 3!
Angie

Although I said she was overrated, I still like Angie for the most part. The summer school arc was really interesting, and we got to get a good buildup between them, without it feeling stretched. And they actually had a decent amount of dating time before they had problems. Angie and Nate seemed pretty good together, and besides not having huge compatibility, seemed to compliment eachother. And they were executed pretty well as a couple. Although, there is one flaw about it that ruins it for me. At the end, she likely cheated on Nate for Dan Lebreque (however you spell it) and she didn’t even bother to tell Nate when she wasn’t happy with their relationship. That factor ruins it for me. And we saw her a couple times later, and she was cruel to Nate. She states that Nate never came close to being someone she really liked, and that they were never really in love. Poor Nate. But besides that, she was fine.

Likability: 6/10

Good Arcs: 9/10

Treatment: 4/10

Length: 8/10

Number 2!
Ruby

Ruby was one of my favorites. Some call her overrated, but I honestly don’t think so. One thing I like a lot is the build up between them. The arc in the book was great, and it felt really satisfying to see them get together. So, after saying all this stuff, why isn’t she number 1 on the list? Well, mainly because we didn’t get to see any of their relationship after. That was something really big for me. Also, Ruby felt a little too flat at times, like a Mary Sue character. I wish it builders up in more books, and maybe we get to see their relationship a bit more. But I still liked Ruby as Nate’s girlfriend, and glad it happened.

Likability: 9/10

Good Arcs: 8/10

Treatment: 9/10

Length: N/A

Number 1!
Kelly

Kelly is my favorite girlfriend of Nate. There were so many good things. For one, the build it. It was really nice to see them start to meet up and date. And I loved the arcs. The soccer arc was great, I loved seeing them have chemistry and have a build up between them. And nothing felt stretched out or forced. Kelly was a pretty good character too. She was really nice and respectful to Nate, and always seemed happy in the relationship (well, until the end.) I also liked the other arcs, such as them playing football together, them going to the mall, and more. The mall arc had some pretty good laughs about Kelly’s dad, too. They lasted pretty long, too! There was only 2 main problems I had. One, the ending. But, I only didn’t like that cause Nate was a jerk. Although I hated the ending, it wasn’t Kelly’s fault. Also, they had two kinda disturbing arcs, one being Nate and Kelly doing a “contact sport” and one where Nate tackles Kelly into the snow. If you haven’t seen it, don’t look at it. Anyways, I loved Kelly, and she was my favorite GF of Nate!

Likability: 9/10

Good Arcs: 10/10

Treatment: 9/10

Length: 9/10
