Peanut >>> shapeshifter form
>>
>>147125365
That's a cute opinion.
>>
>>147125365
Based. She was cute as a peanut
>>
>get rid of her trainers
>get rid of her sports wristbands
>get rid of her cheerleading pom poms
And just like that, all of her girly sweet sporty personality is thrown away to replace it with the generic “come out of your shell” moral. No wonder the fans prefer Rob
>>
>>147125390
Fans prefer Nicole actually
>>
>>147125365
now the question is do you believe she must be a deer or not like in the fanart before the reveal?
>>
I'd like the shapeshifter form more if it didn't completely ruin her personality.

I also liked her peanut form cause it made her look a lot bigger than gumball in size. In S1 she was wide and girthy and in S2 the peanut was curvy like her mom.
Now she’s just the same size as gumball but slightly taller, she’s thin and flat like him. She also doesn’t have skin-color arms or horns anymore and her eyes and mouth are basic.
She ironically looks a lot more boring now after “coming out”, and her moody forms like the medusa and the dragon are boring too. Peanut is cute and fun
>>
>>147125390
I never actually realized that her original personality faded into the background after the design switch. I guess because I got used to the later episode structure not really feeling as grounded with those settings like gym class and Gumball watching her perform so I didn't notice they stopped being sporty with her in general. Weird how that happened.
>>
>>147125414
I thought she just wouldn’t take off the shell because there’s no point to it.
That episode with Molly going missing at the start when Penny falls down and her arms and legs and horns all pop out of the peanut sockets and it’s still moving, that’s how I pictured her
>>
>>147125459
>the peanut was curvy like her mom
So did she "develop"?
>>
>>147125414
Not OP, but I don't like the shapeshifter specifically because I really loved the cute deer art.

I've noticed some attempts at developing characters actually make them less interesting. Marceline for example.

It’s always been something people were never really happy with outside of just gluing her to Gumtard. At least on 4chan. I tried giving it a chance but at the end it just feels like nothing happened, and it especially feels fucked up that Penny remained a static character while Gumball changed as the show went on. She didn’t pick up any of his deviant tendencies or anything, she just is who she is for years on end while still being less than the Peanut form.
I always liked Peanut Penny. She was outgoing and had an athleticism to her, so she had so much over Gumball, and yet she was just as equally bashful as him in admitting their love to each other. It wasn’t really one-sided for Gumball, they both had to meet in the middle, so I found that interesting to see because it always felt like the boy always had to rise to the occasion and earn her love in cartoons. He already had it but he was too dumb, and that reflects onto Penny, making her a dumbass too, but it was all in earnest of both trying to not overstep each other. A mutual respect.
Like, there really is no justification for them sticking around with each other outside of status quo. It just feels like a discount Nicole and Richard where Gumball is dragging her to his level and she has to deal with it and suck it up. He keeps escalating but Penny now serves as a reflection of everything he’s not. A good half and bad half, but that doesn’t really speak for her because it’s about how inactive she is than her actually participating with Gumball on equal footing.

Yeah because Rob was the only character from Tawog to ever develop as a character he went from a nobody to villain to a anti hero at the end.
Meanwhile Penny is just the same but she has shapeshifting powers but aren't explained ind detail
>>147127053
Only 4chan, outside of 4chan people know who Rob is I seen more art and discussion about Rob in other social sites.

Sry pennyfags Rob is the only character that gets a character design change and gets development at the same time Ben doesnt seem to like the peanut girl

This is what happens when show's writers decide that show being self-aware and meta is 'deeper' than developing character dynamics. Does Penny have a circle of her friends, let alone meaningful interactions with them? Lol, no, that would take away focus from Gumball and his meta humor.

Shapeshifter form would be much better if she could actually, y'know, shapeshift. As it stands, it's just an acid-yellow jello angel with "power" being more like disability.

Honestly I think she gets background character status because “cute couple” doesn’t inspire much comedic potential, which is the show’s main focus of the show

The season is cute but I’m not gonna listen to any “season 1 was the best season” bs

Gumball is a show where there is a disproportional amount of development between the characters, and yet a part of the fandom has enough vocal people saying "yes this is perfect"
Not even Sonicfags are this broken and their series literally tries to tell them "worship Sonic like a god"
>>
>>147133822
Only Clayton and Darwin have actual shapeshifiting powers Penny is just transforming into animals depending on her emotion making it extremely situational at best so yes its more of hiderance and disability that anything else

The show immediately crumbles apart at any instance of serious/sincere storytelling because at one moment or another it will create an narrative inconsistency of some sort since it tries to take pride in being a cartoony cartoon first.
Of course a good show would have tried to rectify that Clayton is a legitimate shapeshifter leagues beyond Penny but oh no we can't have Penny do anything cool ever
>>
>>147134193
Peanut design is okay too. Her old design was fine, i'm not saying it was bad. Just that if they wanted to go with "the peanut is a metaphor for hiding in a shell, BE YOURSEEEELF, maybe don't go with the retarded option you're not gonna use. For me, peanut is fine, deer would have been much better for the "BE YOURSELF" plotline.

I agree but there were some exceptions to this like with the origins 1 & 2 we discover how Darwin came to be as a character and know that he is a shapeshfiter(very complex) and all that there was never an episode that tainted Darwin's backstory like the choices was a good episode but it got ruined by the episode the parents.

Clayton got scraps like Penny on their abilities and character as a whole.

Refresh my mind and show me the specifics of Darwin being a shapeshifter.
>>
>>147134580
Here but I think labeling Darwin as a shapeshifter is a bit of a loose term more of growing body parts, supernatural powers like super strength, super speed, and super durability and making them pernament
https://youtu.be/QVrbwsGMg50?si=TtQ5IwY8q_2O0V8h
His powers are similar to pokemon evolution or plasmids and tonics like bioshock

That's just headcanon of one anon who, for the past few months, has been arguing that - since Darwin could grow lungs and legs in "The Origins" due to magical bond with Gumball, he has the potential to keep doing just that on a whim despite nothing of that sort happening.

That's post S3 TAWOG for you. If it can't be used to show just how funny, witty and meta Gumball is, Ben and his writers isn't going to use it. Hell, if I were to watch only seasons from 4 to 6, I would have assumed that Sarah G. Latto is Gumball's girlfriend while Penny is just some embittered simpette/orbiter.

>but is Nicole a shapeshifter too because she grew muscles and a demon head that one time?
No thats more of a comedic effect or comedy gag because its not meant to be taken seriously at all. However with Darwin its a different story due to his backstory being meant to be taken seriously and emotional by the writers plus its explained how he got his powers in the first place if you watch the origins, while with that scene in Nicole it just came out of nowhere without any explanation at all it didn't make any sense so she doesn't have that sort of power at all its more meant to be funny as said.
Basically to put it simply if something in a episode or the whole episode is getting in a mature or serious tone of something then its cannon if its funny then its not really cannon and is there to make you laugh.

I remember how, back in late 00's, CN had a newer "George of the jungle" cartoon churned out by a director who only ever worked with live-action content before trying his hand at directing animated series. His philosophy was basically >>147136393 - that is, a kid who has to sit through boring classes and spends recess after recess getting his head thrust into the toilet isn't going to enjoy elaborate storytelling - he wants to see George crash into a tree.
Nedless to say, this animated series sucked ass and was canned after just one season, buried for almost a decade, allowed back for a second season, then put out of its misery once and for all.

His name is Darwin and its a reference to Charles Darwin the theory of evolution.
>>
>>147138794
That's settles it.
If Darwin were to have shapeshifting powers, that wouldn't be Darwinism, but Lysenkoism - as it is the latter that postulates inheritable changes made during the life of an organism, as opposed to genetic alterations at the moment of its conception.

>>147138849

So basically Darwin can occasionally grow or shapeshift but its overtime in certain points of his life or if what we saw in the show he just has to believe in himself through his heart. However unlike clayton and Penny where they can go back to their original form Darwin's case seems to be pernament whenever he shapeshifts so its like a mutation like what the other anon said>>147138906
