Premise
Set in the fictional crime-ridden Mexican metropolis of Miracle City, El Tigre follows the adventures of Manny Rivera, a 13-year-old boy with superpowers trying to choose between being good or evil. Manny's father is a superhero known as White Pantera, and wants Manny to grow up to be good and fight evil. Manny's Grandfather is a supervillain known as Puma Loco who thinks Manny should go to the dark side.

Por Qué Mola

 * 1) Great action scenes with comedy in it.
 * 2) The animation and the character designs looks decent, especially since this was the first Flash animated Nicktoon for 2007-2008 standards. The character designs were done by the co-creator, Jorge R. Gutierrez himself, similar how he did the designs for ¡Mucha Lucha! and mh:terribletvshows:The Buzz on Maggie.
 * 3) Likable characters, like Manny Rivera/El Tigre, Rodolfo Rivera/White Pantera, Grandpapi/Puma Loco, Frida Suárez (at times), and Maria Rivera.
 * 4) The villains are also great, like Sartana of the Dead, Black Cuervo, Dr. Chipotle Jr., Senor Siniestro, and El Oso.
 * 5) Great voice acting, especially from Alanna Ubach, Grey DeLisle, Eric Bauza, Carlos Alazraqui, April Stewart, and so many more.
 * 6) Somewhat funny moments.
 * 7) The idea of El Tigre joining both good and evil is actually pretty great and original.
 * 8) The intro itself is very decent to listen.
 * 9) "No Boots, No Belt, No Brero" was a great finale for this series, even if it uses the usual 11 minute runtime of each episode.
 * 10) One of Nickelodeon's greatest superhero shows, alongside with Danny Phantom and My Life as a Teenage Robot.

Malas Cualidades

 * 1) Some amounts of toilet humor.
 * 2) It can get really disturbing sometimes. Like when Grandpappi and Rodolfo ate the evil guacamole.
 * 3) Frida can be unlikable at times, and since she and Manny can get into trouble.
