I heard season 7 is gonna fix that issue of the lore not having enough screen time from the previous seasons so maybe the lore of the show would be better and actually be covered in depth.

>why do you think disscusion threads for this show die so easily
Because the show is basically
>Gumball and Darwin (and, to a visibly lesser extent, Nicole, Richard and Anais) tackle something mundane and wacky wacky wack wack things happen

Ben seems to have no interest in developing the primary setting and most of original characters in a way that would provide storylines on their own regardless of what Gumball and Darwin are doing, as even the whole 'lore' around the Void is quite shallow and fairly insignificant apart from sucking up two minor characters before the writers eventually went "oh, also, it's going to eventually consume and extinguish their world. But the only people who know about this are a mentally disabled banana and a disfigured antisocial schizo who fell through the floor to the abyss, so nobody actually gives a shit in-universe". This isn't AT where people would keep on talking about the Lich or the Golb, this isn't Star vs where people would keep on talking about a genocide of all the magic beings and other retarded storytelling, this isn't SU where people would keep on talking about how Steven had pardoned a trio of space Hitlers after learning that he is the spawn of the fourth missing space Hitler. TAWOG's world lacks anything interesting to talk about, aside from a bunch of characters. Hence most of Gumball threads are just people fawning over Gumball, Darwin, Nicole or, to a lesser extent, Teri and Penny.

I hate how this is every Gumball thread and that is the most common. I know the show isn't that lore heavy as the other shows you mentioned and can't be heavily disscused but my god at least have a high autism to think of or come up with something else than fawning over characters, like: what if the show became like its pilot premise(a much more darker Tawog than we got), what and how many items does the Awesome Store have to sell for curious customers?Is the void connected to the Pibby glitch in anyway? Or the powers of some the characters like Darwin's evolution powers, Bobert's robot powers, Nicole's super strength, and Carrie's ghost powers etc. I feel like the disscusion is there but imo its that some of us lack imagination and would rather just talk about the funny moments of the show or coom to the characters its miserable...

That's just a convenient avenue for shoehorning plot devices into stories that would require more thought to be put into them otherwise.
Show doesn't need to have some super deep and mystical layer to its world for people to keep discussing it, but it needs to carefully develop said world and its characters.
For instance, Ed, Edd 'n Eddy is quite mundane, as it is a show about a bunch of kids from one cul-de-sac that is surrounded by a forest, construction site and a trailer park. But Danny Antonucci had really put much thought and heart into shaping all of this into a small world that people wanted to know more about. When further seasons finally showed their school life, it was an absolute mindfuck as until that point the Eds were seemingly living in a state of perpetual, unending vacation time. Such a simple expansion to a growing series - and yet it felt like a whole new universe had just opened up as an answer to the many "what if"s and questions raised by fans of the show.
This is something that TAWOG neglects, focusing instead on wackiness, relatable references to pop culture and 'important' messages (like how the Wattersons keeping house values low in their neighbourhood is somehow 'good').
>>
>>145685938
>Only this time he thinks "Nah, that's fucking retarded
I always wondered what would happen if Ben didn't create TAWOG would he be homeless or he would be still an animator but he would work on a existing cartoon made by someone else. Maybe he made a cartoon but it was extremely niche and didn't took off like Gumball did the possiblites are endless.
>>
>>145686175
Did he actually have a filmography before TAWOG?
People like Rebecca Sugar and even Gooseworks had a previous history in animation industry before their own shows took off.

>>145686184
He made a hell's kitchen short before Gumball you can see how he did mix media before Tawog

Disagree I think the character is cool enough to have his own episode I mean the fact he got Darwin before he sold him off from god knows where wants me to know who is this guy? I feel like he's the mysterious vendor from resident evil 4.
>This is something that TAWOG neglects, focusing instead on wackiness, relatable references to pop culture and 'important' messages (like how the Wattersons keeping house values low in their neighbourhood is somehow 'good').
Yeah I agree but they sometimes do those "important messages" on epsidoes like the faith, the heart, the choices, the shell, the father and many more.
I know these are the exception and not the rule of a Tawog ep but I like to think they made it the exception to make them feel "special" or "memorable" but I do agree the average Gumball should at least give an important message or take itself a bit more seriously instead of being le wacky.

As a showcase of animation techniques, this is pure gold. But... where is the funny? It's just a short string of various accidents leading up to a whole city bursting into flames while characters flail around and screech like idiots. An average China thread on /gif/ is more entertaining than this, despite sharing the premise while relying only on amateur execution.

Are you the same guy who, in past Gumball threads, would go on how the Chinese rip-offs should have their multi-episode redemption arc?

That's the funny anon its called action plot humor or some other term. Wait a minute.... this type of humor is just exactly what Gumball's 50% of its humor is OH MY GOD BEN YOU HAVE BEEN MAKKING MEDIROCE FUNNY SCENES FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES NOW!!!
>>
>>145686506
No? I think the Chinese ripoff characters shouldn't be shown again because their supposed to be a one note they shouldnt be shown again because their purpose was to be only made fun of over the fact china made an excat copy of Gumball without any repercussions so the Tawog writers make fun of them by making an episode of it if they would reintroduced them back it would make the ep pointless and make joke stay too long for its welcome. Contrast to the Awesome store which has a place in Elmore him selling the most wildest and unique items to other characters makes him very insteresing and enough for him to have his own episode or even multiple episodes about him. Sure he seems to be just a plot device but I think if the writers give more screentime and have an episode about his life not just selling trinkets to other characters then I would think he would be more appericated that he deserves.

If that is "truly" the case, then why don't you go back to tumblr and twitter, Robtard? After all, those are the places that supposedly cherish Rob and the void lore within the Gumball cartoon, so you're better off there, instead of here.

I would say the cringest episode happens to be the web episode it was just unbreaible the ep was basically old people = clueless in the modern times with the internet and technology. Thebonly thing good about the ep was the song still slaps till this day

Seems legit!
>>
>>145688937
>>145689279
It's definitely a retcon (the series always had a big issue with the characters' IQ being highly dependent on the writer, Spongebob tends to have more consistent character writing), but it does fit Nicole and is pretty realistic. Facebook is not the same as punching in spreadsheets and you don't ever see her use the computer the same way Gumball or even Richard does. Nicole always works stronger as a character when her weaknesses in companionship and interactions overwrites her strengths as a mother and fighter against adversity, and the internet would be a reasonable thing to get wrong to someone who thinks she isn't doing anything incorrectly.
Also helps in terms of episode order, The Factory is only 2 episodes behind The Web, so you get a better picture of what she actually does in her office beforehand.

Excellent analysis. I also found that the increasingly cynical humor revolving around nearly every character becoming jaded, snarky assholes and how much the world sucks really got me to care less about the setting and whatever was to become of it. TAWOG strikes me as a show that as it went on, had no idea what it wanted to be. It's a colorful and wacky children's cartoon, that covers a lot of adult/political topics for humor, that also expects us to care about its lore, but in order for us to care, we need to be attached to the world but as these two posts put it, the show failed to do that so in the end, Elmore getting sucked into the void (i.e. cancelled) is a rather fitting end.

And when all those other lore shows were being listed, I believe that for all the shit that people give Rick and Morty, people DO in fact talk about things like Cronenberg world, the citadel, the galactic federation, and Evil Morty. And that's because unlike TAWOG, the characters on Rick and Morty do, in fact, change, there are plenty of moments and characters that challenge the so-called "nothing matters" nihilistic message that Rick initially put out before even he finally started to abandon that philosophy, and the setting itself naturally drew in the attention of so many people to begin with.

>but in order for us to care, we need to be attached to the world but as these two posts put it, the show failed to do that so in the end.
What would it take for you and others to care about the lore and the world of the show as a whole? Besides making it less cynical and the characters being less of a jerk what would your list of fixes or additions for Elmore to be interesting.

Elmore isn't actually a setting, it's just a backdrop to provide wacky scenarios for the family to deal with, so in some episodes, every appliance in the world is sentient, while in other ones, the entire world is dependent on Larry.
It's not like how in Adventure Time, there's a general outline that can be drawn about how OOO works and who lives where, and a more serialized structure can work just fine, you can't expect anyone to take the lore of Gumball seriously where everything exists for the sake of comedy and everywhere outside of the main house and the middle school might as well be abstract space when it's not being occupied by Gumball and Darwin.

I always wondered if Gumball became a shounen type of show like hxh or bleach with all that lore and power scaling with each season of the show having a different arc and character to be the main lead
>>

A comedy cartoon doesn't need shonen bullshit
>>
>>145695460
No what I'm saying is what if Gumball became a shounen show first instead of a comedy like it's the late 2010's and Ben pitched Gumball to the CN executives but instead of saying it's a family comedy show like what we got, its a family shounen show about two boys becoming stronger and stronger also like to think they approve of the concept of Elmore being this place of forgotten or cut cartoon characters living together in some type of purgatory
>>
>>145695295
>how come they introduced lore?
Because it was the trend for shows to become at first goofy episodic fun to deep complex on going plot show
And the fact the void lore was something Ben Bocquelet wanted to add in the original plot of the show but it never came into fruition due to the CN executives saying it was too "depressing" and "dark"

Evidence of that? The only thing I could find is that Ben wanted core setting to be a remedial school for cartoon characters - and this is something that CN considered to be overly depressing. No info about void being intended for S1, though.

>What would it take for you and others to care about the lore and the world of the show as a whole? Besides making it less cynical and the characters being less of a jerk what would your list of fixes or additions for Elmore to be interesting.
It's far too late because anything that season 7 or the movie does to fix it would be nothing more than putting a band aid on a year's worth of mismanaged storytelling but TAWOG could have been up there with the greats in terms of creating hype around its lore had it instead did the following.
>Have the void be present or hinted at since season 1, or season 2 at the very least, so that the feeling of something sinister being right under our noses is there to reward people that paid attention.
>Have more well-known characters getting taken by the void instead of two minor characters that nobody cared about until they escaped the void.
>On the subject of escaping the void, keep some of the characters contained within it as a way to raise stakes.

For non-void, worldbuilding have more episodes about the other classmates that Gumball never noticed the existence of until Anais pointed them out to him to show that his horizons have expanded in addition to getting more episodes about the school and less about the family. Also, remove the politics. Commentaries about white men being privileged make no sense in a cartoon setting where non-human characters are racially coded and human characters can be either toons or actual humans. Normally, I would be interested in a setting that actually tried to grapple with the previous sentence but it's more likely that the writers were simply venting their frustrations in a show that was meant for kids and that there were was no intent on giving the world implications that rivals Mr. Enter's Growing Around in terms of batshit insanity.

True, a lot of what the show had been drummed up to be for years just breaks down when looking back after some time.
I've been left puzzled why I only became a Terifag merely a year and a half ago, despite having watched the show since pre-premiere mystery ads that heralded its first season. When main characters end up acting bored by the very show they are a core of, mind eventually drifts to the sparse handful of characters that have more impulsive and natural reaction to their surroundings.
>>
>>145699194
>No info about void being intended for S1, though.
They were both similar in concept the pilot core setting had the void's main function and that was getting something or someone that is forgotten or useless and dragging it into their world and being trapped there forever like purgatory.

>Have the void be present or hinted at since season 1, or season 2 at the very least, so that the feeling of something sinister being right under our noses is there to reward people that paid attention.
I would be more specific of where the void should start to be introduced the episode of Molly's treehouse is a good start Molly is still gonna be the first one to be captured by the Void but this time will see her sucked into the void and as episodes go by we see increasingly more characters get consumed by the void.
>Have more well-known characters getting taken by the void instead of two minor characters that nobody cared about until they escaped the void
Rachel and Rob would be the anotagnists of the show and early on in season 2 we see them exploring the void and what not and become glitched out monsters instead of them being turned like those said monsters in season 3 the void.
>On the subject of escaping the void, keep some of the characters contained within it as a way to raise stakes.
I'm guessing Gumball, Darwin, Carrie, Penny, and one or two changeable characters this group would basically uncover everything about the void how it functions and its properties.

>>145699987
Yeah the marriage scene in the choices wasn't as strong or emotional for me as other people would say, because it retcons both previous marriage flashback scenes, if they were to add the Ms. Simian scene and that fat bunny's constant shouting of no in the choices then it would have been perfect for me.

Killed his adopted family put all of their limbs in trash bags set them on fire, keep the heads and place them each on a pike at the backyard, make a ritual circle around the head pikes to summon a demon ask the demon to open a portal from the underworld to Elmore(earth) demon invasion begins Darwin joins in the fun and becomes a demon himself.

As the demon surged from the portal, chaos erupted in Elmore. Darwin, now a demon himself, reveled in his newfound powers, commanding the dark forces that flooded the town. The once-quiet streets turned into a nightmarish landscape, with twisted creatures and dark magic weaving a tapestry of terror, as Darwin relished his role in the ultimate invasion, eager to unleash havoc on the unsuspecting residents.

I've noticed it for a long time and it has always bothered me. I don't like when shows change something that they already showed. It's safe to assume that the wedding in the choices is the canon one but now the other scenes and episodes related to the old wedding scenes are basically non existent after this episode. There's probably more examples of this I could show (like Gumball reading books) but it would just be proving the same point that everything from the first season does not matter (and yet there are scenes that show they have flashbacks from season 1 so wtf)

This just makes me think that Gumball as a show is described by just two words confusing and inconsistent those are the words, I would describe Tawog just because they retconned alot of things from previous episodes yet they mention them in future episodes and bring out flashbacks like you mentioned, its inconsistent and confusing at the same time and gives off the question why??? The only thing they seem to haven't retconned in the show is the Void plotline which seems to me that the writers and Ben are clearly interested in further developing the lore of it even if its not everyone's cup of tea.
>>
>>145700980
With each passing moment, the air crackled with malevolent energy as Darwin summoned more demons to join his ranks. Buildings crumbled under the weight of darkness, and the townsfolk, caught in a frenzy of panic, scrambled for safety. But Darwin, intoxicated by power, thrived on their fear, laughing as he unleashed chaotic spells that warped reality itself.

As the night deepened, he gathered his minions, plotting to spread their reign of terror beyond Elmore. A dark ritual began to take shape, one that would bind the town to the underworld forever. With the ritual circle pulsing around the pike-mounted heads, Darwin’s ambition grew—he envisioned a world dominated by his kind, where fear was the currency and darkness reigned supreme.

>>145701748
When you have OP post pic with Rob in it, then by "lore" he means "void" that the writers came up with as an abyss that universe itself uses as a trashcan for its mistakes. Oh, and said void also devours characters deemed to be too boring and purposeless. Oh, and also said void selectively erases awareness of show's plot, because why not. Oh, and also said void will eventually serve as the final resting place once the show runs its course.
That's the whole lore that six seasons of Gumball could come up with, full stop.

Tobias is extremely underrated and he should be utilized more in the show I never found his personality annoying or boring quite the opposite he's very entertaining and likeable or relatable also him and Darwin should have been best friends like in season 1 but for some reason it wasn't implemented or retconned for that matter through the seasons after season 1 which is a shame.

I mean what is the other solution then? His screentime are mostly just funny scenes of him acting egotistic while everyone in the show just looks at him mildly annoyed, and while he does have major focused episodes its usually about him being made fun of or getting treated harshly for no reason. That's why I think just giving Tobais major focused episodes that respects him for once would be a nice change.

The lore was always a contentious bit but nobody really hated the idea of it when the show was running new.
It was until after the show ran its course many years later where I saw people that are glad it never went in that direction, but I have a feeling these type of bootlickers would be perfectly okay if did go in that direction anyway with the new seasons because they’re not going to judge the quality of the cartoon in any meaningful way and be like “lol they subverted my expectations and made it good” or some stupid shit.
Not that I’m expecting the show to go full lore or anything.

A major reason (not an excuse) to Gumball's inconsistency does have to do with the climates of CN and the world as a whole. I can imagine the awkwardness wanting to be a goofy slice-of-life comedy show in an era where TTG was consuming the entire airwaves and other shows akin to it were concluding, pivoting, or just flat out dying. Put this on top of the obvious Trump Derangement Syndrome with Brexit and you got a staff and director who really were unsure what even made their show special and tried to experiment with everything from leftist social commentary to budget-breaking action, if not just checked out and waiting for the inevitable axe for more TTG to come. It's a show that never quite knew itself in the worst era of the post-CN Real nonsense, so it is hard to blame its borderline Alzheimer's in terms of continuity and character writing, at least in terms of them not caring.
Still, I do think TAWOG could have been great if it did care about itself more. If it chose anything to follow through on from the start, from goofy SpongeBob-esque comedy, lore, fun character examinations and showcasing (I always did love it when Gumball acts like Nicole, it is fun to point out how he inherits traits from his parents), biting political and internet satire, anything, I think it could have held a lot stronger of a foothold in people's collective consciousness than it does now. You can see it today with Xitter getting excited over a Regular Show revival (how did he agreed to that after what they did to Close Enough?), it was a far better balanced show that always knew what it wanted to be, and people know it.

>and you got a staff and director who really were unsure what even made their show special and tried to experiment with everything
That could also be chalked up to the fact that probably TAWOG itself was an instance of inadequately experienced creator having a groundbreaking idea for a franchise.
Compare this with, say, GameFreak and Pokemon. Pokemon is one of the biggest - if not THE biggest entertainment franchises in history; however, its creators were originally just a small team who got their lucky break on that one concept - but their every attempt at making non-pokemon games had ended in a disappointment due to them having actually little relevant experience and forethought. Hell, this caused Pokemon games themselves to suffer in quality and reliability, as said dev team barely understand how their own cash cow could be maintained and improved. Instead, corners keep getting cut while visual aspect keeps lagging further behind modern games with every new title.

TAWOG might be a similar case: Ben made 'something', millions of people loved it, but Ben had no idea how to improve or elaborate upon his concept beyond simply sticking to making more of the same until seasonal rot had chewed right through it. After all, Ben's previous experience with animation industry came in the form of a handful of experimental shorts and a stack of failed pitches. He likely didn't have much in the ways of interdisciplinary experience in the field - one that could be acquired through previous work for other studios.

>fun character examinations
This is what I don't get about this show.
Right from the start its school setting had a wide selection of intriguing female characters which were (slowly but surely) given personalities and characterization to a point where they could carry a show on their own... and nothing happened, as said characters are only ever allowed to come to life through interacting with Wattersons, but not with themselves. Even relatively ancient CN stuff like Dexter's Laboratory had episodes dedicated to Dee Dee interacting with her two friends, despite show as a whole being almost entirely dedicated to Dexter and his conflict with his sister.
>>
>>145706539
My absolute aggravation with this show stems from its total lack of care for the world and its characters as it just wanked off the Wattersons a lot. Like the last genuine episode I remember liking somewhat was the Anais and Jamie episode because it was an actual unique interaction we’ve never fucking seen until that point. I can’t even remember if it was a good episode since it’s been years, but the impression of these two characters interacting is something I can remember enjoying when first watching it years ago. I have that at least. And I don’t fucking like Anais for the most part since she’s glued to her lousy family. I was willing to settle for this because I had so little to begin with.
The constant aggravation and the isolated wackiness of the family had against each other as the rest of the universe was a punching bag joke with no real reaction wasn’t particularly interesting after the fifth time in a season. Like I think I would have preferred dull to this total lack of care honestly, but we didn’t get that. Just a total lack of dynamics overall that I couldn’t even get excited if there was a new Carrie or Alan or Bobert episode because we’ve had these fuckers a billion damn times and more often than not it felt like these were no longer characters, but just set pieces for Gumball and Darwin to have a wacky fun-time with. They had no true motivations as characters at the end of the show’s life, they were there to highlight the consequences of Gumball being a little faggot retard. I personally will never ever fucking forgive this show for allowing Carrie to choose to voluntarily cuck herself just to further drive the plot just so they can say “lol Gumball you fucked up, you silly little goose lmao”. It was so god damn maddening.
>>
>>145706539
This is more a case of standard American Cartoon shit; if you have titular character you really aren't allowed an episode without them. Steven Universe was a big culprit of this with how he genuinely adds nothing but bloat to a lot of episodes, but it isn't THAT unreasonable to make sure your poster boy is in every show. And Gumball as a character (sometimes) is someone that wants to intervene in stuff, so it not like it is inorganic to have him in other characters' focus points.
The biggest issue with the focus is that, again, the show as a whole struggled with consistency. As the series went on, you have a character that wanted to get LESS involved in chaos or be helpful, so his interactions with everyone came harder to swallow. And this applied to everyone in the Watterson household, it is hard to take a Richard-episode seriously, him shouting at the top of his lungs "IM A GOOD FATHER!!" when you have seasons worth of him being a useless fuckup. It's hard for the Watersons to lead to good back-and-forths with everyone in the town when they can't decide on who is what, especially once they moved past the "Everyone Hates the Watersons"-era of Seasons 2 and 3. Even Modern Simpsons know where a Bart, Homer, Lisa, and Marge episode should go and how they should interact with people.

>>145706290
>TAWOG might be a similar case: Ben made 'something', millions of people loved it, but Ben had no idea how to improve or elaborate upon his concept
It wasn't THAT difficult a concept to expand upon, I think it is more apparent his inexperience meant he got too caught up in being everything instead of knowing how to kill his babies. After all, the show is a whole is all about him not being able to let go.

I think Darwin had the potential to become an interesting character, since we already know he was adopted and sold from the awesome store, the writers could have made it so Darwin would have been interested in finding his biological/real parents, I think that was something, I wish they did after the origins, I still think they could do it in season 7 maybe even the movie will be about that who knows? At the same time will discover how Darwin's biology works considering he has evolution powers. Just thinking about it makes me feel like Darwin is the most wasted potential character in the show since he has alot of stuff going for him, its just the writers as many said by now are incompetent could care less unless its the "funny"

The townsfolk had barricaded themselves in their homes, whispering prayers and clutching their loved ones. Outside, shadows writhed and twisted, drawn to Darwin's insatiable hunger for chaos. The once vibrant town of Elmore was now a grotesque mockery of itself, with dark tendrils reaching into every crevice, suffocating hope.

As the first stars flickered in the moonless sky, Darwin stood at the center of the ritual, his hands raised in incantation. The air shimmered with malevolent energy, each word he spoke resonating with the echoes of damned souls. Demons crawled forth from the rifts in the ground, their forms shifting and indistinct, eager to serve their master.

You mean "The Matchmaker"?
Damn, for an episode that was supposedly about making Carrie x Darwin official, this felt like a Teri episode. Not a bad thing for paper bear fans, but an utter shitshow for most people. It's like the writers wanted to kill two birds with one stone after realizing that they had packed the rest of 5th season with Gumball-centric antics.
>>
>>145682371
It should've been put down after season 5.
>>
>>145710246
Yes, and the fact you gave some examples of his inconsistency just makes me sadder even more of his wasted potential Ben Bocqulet and the writers can't seen to figure what personality or character Darwin should be. Is he the straight man and the nice one(but has a limit of being nice) out of the duo or the naive sidekick yes man behavior, honestly Darwin should be the first one and develop his lore(him finding his biological parents & his evolution powers). Hopefully season 7 fixes Darwin highly doubt it though.

Wasn't Gumball's 'mistreatment' of Rob limited to:

>I kept badgering you about sticking to your role as a villain
Banana Joe had it much worse and yet he didn't turn into a potential school shooter.
>>
>>145717816
Banana Joe has a completely different personality than Rob, that's why Joe never became a potential shooter and even if he was treated worse than Rob he was still remembered by everyone in Elmore due to him having a role already, compare to Rob he never had a role in the early seasons and the fact before the void ever happened Rob was a background character while BJ was a side character plus Rob wasn't ever joyful or easy going as Joe.

Was this official character list released when Gumball first came out(when season 1 was still dropping eps)? If so then the writers really planned Rob to have a larger role. just not in the earlier seasons, it was basically hinted to us at that time that he would make a footnote in the show weather you liked it or not.
Also wondering if people were a fan of Rob even if he was a background character before the void

Genuine question is Penny a muslim/arab girl? I've seen some art trends of her being portrayed as a muslim since her whole family is conservative and traditional mainly due to her father but still she seems like the arab girl because of her "opening her shell"(her shell is the hajib she wants to remove it to express herself)
>>
>>145723445
>is Penny a muslim/arab girl?
Please stop
>>
>>145723462
What's wrong with my question if people here like to flack over Darwin being black then this question shouldn't be dismissed
>>
>>145723445
In the show no.
Is she an allegory for it? Originally no, but the writers saw an opportunity to play with the idea a bit once they became more politically savvy for twitter points.
I don't think she's a muslim/arab, but adjacent in terms of the clothing culture, but without the religious baggage that's associated with it. Attaching a religious aspect to the shell like that could actually say a lot of negatives than positives because it implies ditching a large part of your culture entirely, and left leaning people don't like implying that. Penny's true form in a way counters all this in a way I'm too tired to get into right now, but I can see how it's used to spin things positively.
I would say it's one of the few times where the writers actually meant well with such a topic because otherwise you get Donald Watterson vs Anais Clinton. I just think it's a backwards episode to have because The Shell was her most important moment and trying to pretend they could ever dial back on it is a lousy move.
>>
>>145723628
Thank you for your analysis of my question about this I agree that I shouldn't have mention her being a muslim or anything religious associated I think my questionbwould have been better If I would just say what her irl rsce would be. Also curious of what irl race you think she'll be?

Wait until S7 starts, given how its run will coincide with the rest of The Amazing Digital Circus episodes that were originally planned. Now THAT will make TAWOG purists busy, given how TADC's digital purgatory of a world, coupled with the ever-growing risk of characters turning into a multi-eyed, inky glitched-out mess upon losing their last shreds of sanity, is something that will be compared over and over again with TAWOG's void.

Gonna give my Void theories on the origin and how it functions:
Theory #1 the void was generated because the creators of gumball, like the gods of the world, then they deleted whatever object they thought was useless or ridiculous, and the only way to enter the void is trough errors in the universe or using the remote, which makes sense because the show is a “tv” show.

Theory #2 . It is just an other dimension for all the mistakes the world has made similar to "Null Void" in Ben10 which is a dimension used to keep all the criminal aliens. The only difference is that The Void keeps on interacting with the tawog world

Theory #3 he world thinks the show was a mistake too and trying to delete it. Somehow Rob found out about it and he trying to stop it. But at the end of the episode the event has started and he couldn't survive.

These are my theories on the void you can give your thoughts or give your own theories!

lel. Kinda shits on the continuity though, as all the way back in season 2, in Teri's focus episode "The Virus", paper girl threatened to tell Penny everything about Gumball's super creepy worship of her, so she should be aware that Gumball isn't seeking to have a boyfriend.

Alright fine. I really like the graphics in season 5-6. The visuals and animation look so much cleaner than they did in the previous seasons. There was that one meme going around a while ago about how good Gumball’s lighting was in season 2. Yeah it was pretty but the animation was lacking in quality in those early seasons. I think season 6 was where they had a great balance of realistic lighting and smooth animation at the same time. My favorite example of this is the mad max scene in The Fridge (pic rel)

Same here, really love the high quality animation in the later seasons I also love the fact they amped up the action scenes. those violent scenes like the explosions, car chases, and fights between characters really improved from the previous seasons same with the backgrounds felt they were part of the real word which some are lol.

Honestly Gumball with season 2 lighting and the animation of season 5 & 6 would be simply chef's kiss.

Surely no one would get any ideas from that thumbnail to draw something you know.... "Creative"

Theory 3 sounds the most logical out of the three but this is Tawog we are talking about.

all cartoons need some kind of lore.

>Ben himself that season 7 will have a emotional ending
is this said specifically? because i know he said the series finale would, but then it ended on a cliffhanger, and then the movie seemed like that emotional finale, but then another season was greenlit that was rumored to be a reboot of sorts. and then i just kinda assumed any emotional finale he had in mind was put on indefinite hold because the show won't actually end

so like, did he specifically say s7 will have the emotional ending?

Yup, (pic rel) French leaker confirmed it

Ending is gonna be emotional and for the fans as stated, thing is he never said season 7 would the final season or actual ending of Gumball nor the movie so Tawog might continue after those dropped.

Surely, Gumball would have a proper definitive proper conclusion/ending and won't be milked to death after season 7 and the movie, and not be in a state like Spongebob or the Simpsons surely...

my preferred flavor of gumwin is when they're a little bit clueless and thus rarely flustered about being a little bit gay. Because it comes so natural to them that they don't even register it as being lovey dovey.
But if it's pushed far enough beyond reasonable doubt.... Darwin would get flustered first. I think Gumball's flustered state shows up a bit more like annoyance. Only girls (only one girl) make him mushy. Boys make him confused.

Isn't TAWOG like, expensive to make and reliant on people skilled in multiple mediums? Once S7 and movie are done and gone, no exec would want to ressurect it.

If only someone would make a doujin out of this kino idea or even a oneshot fanfic this taste is too perfect for it to be ignored hopefully someone here could do it, if so godspeed then in your journey.

not that this OP didn't suck but i was hoping for a decent thread
sometimes it feels like this whole board has just become a gay shipping center for women, and assfag art reposted from "black twitter" or whatever you retards call it

Yes, but when your owners(CN/WB) earn alot of fucking money from your ip the benefits outweigh the costs Tawog is a million dollar ip that everyone knows by now its a million dollar money making machine the higher ups simply won't let this franchise go like what happened to spognebob and the simpons.
Its the curse of every cartoon that is successful sadly no one survived the impending doom of seasonal rot

You sounds like a faggot who is trying to brainwash children into being gay.

>the backgrounds felt they were part of the real word which some are lol

I think they started using 3d elements in the backgrounds instead of just using still images. It definitely makes it feel more like they are actually interacting with their environment. They really outdid themselves in that scene in The Future

>Honestly Gumball with season 2 lighting and the animation of season 5 & 6 would be simply chef's kiss.
I’m hoping they go in this direction in season 7

>>145734298
I hope so. Didn’t the team switch to a new studio? I haven’t seen their work yet but I hope they can maintain Gumball’s animation style or make it even better

>>145733354
So cute!!

>>145732724
there was some great sound design in that scene

A gumwin chad on here made a fanfic a while ago: /58163392 on ao3.
It’s really good and hot

Adding lore/continuity to an episodic gag story is almost always just a result of creative bankruptcy.

I have already seen that fic anon and like you said its really good and hot the only critiscm, I would give is that. I wanted more too bad it was a oneshot not multiple chapters would love to see what would have happened after they had "fun" together if you know what I mean. Hoping anyone or that author who made that fic might make a gumwin fic sooner then later I want to more of my boys playing with each other more so bad!

Yeah it still amazes me how much budget and work Gumball's animation team had to do to make the show increasingly stunning and breath taking everytime I see a background of Gumball like this (pic rel) my jaws drop and go WOW that looks like it came straight out of a movie!

>I’m hoping they go in this direction in season 7
I hope so too anon I really pray they do that

This thread makes me hate gumball

I fell the same. It's like half of remaining Gumball fans are just pedos.
