>the hype for the new season died in a week>the movie was announced six years ago>not even the script is ready yet>the comics bombed >no merchandise>no video games>zero cultural impact other than porn animations What went wrong?
Do we really need to have this thread every week
Gumball could have been like Smiling Friends but settled for being Family Guy
>>152125131>zero cultural impact other than porn animationsnice self report weird ass nigga
>>152125148Shut it
>>152125208>don't talk about cartoons on the cartoon boardOkay fag
Who keeps making these retarded thread? Why is OP such a faggot and a retard?
>>152125131>>zero cultural impact other than porn animationsWhat did you actually expect? This series is basically just all the pre-chewed cartoon bullshit that you can think think of just carnked to 10 in terms of annoyance. The only shows influenced by it are from it's alumni.
>>152125224No, just don't repeate bullshit
>>152125131Is there a reason why you didn’t mention the seemingly arbitrary name change? because that one seems too easy to jab at that I’m surprised you didn’t.
>>152125147>>152125228>>152125245
>>152125340Kill yourself faggot
>>152125291The new name is so bad that I don't want to think about it
>>152125420Explain
>>152125148>Gumball could have been like Smiling FriendsEdgy trash drawn even more badly aimed at a tiny market
>>152125552>Edgy trash drawnFiltered faggot, go watch Faggotverse.
>>152125552>aimed at a tiny marketThat is why it's more popular and successful than Gumball, right?
>>152125567You seem upset>>152125612Incredible they made a pop-up it's so joever everyone else repost the funny screenshot now
Serious question: why is /co/ so weird about Gumball? Is it just one or two anons spamming their shit over and over?I remember back in the early-mid 2010s nobody cared about Gumball, it got overshadowed hard by Adventure Time, Regular Show and later on Steven Universe. I watched the first season back then and I thought that part its art-style it was a very forgettable kids show, not unlike Clarence or We Bare Bears that are basically forgotten these days.Gumball seemingly got more popular the more /co/ started hating on it. Gumball is popular enough these days that the new season got a considerable budget increase, which is not usually the case (look at Phineas and Ferb or King of the Hill) and largely maintaining the same quality. I know this is unpopular here, but I think Gumball past the first season is also easily the most consistent out of these 2010s CN reinassence shows (AT and RS get really mediocre past the first few seasons and SU was always inconsistent).As for >>152125131, Gumball would have those things if it had become popular in the 90s-2013. In today's streaming world kids largely don't buy toys based on cartoons and nobody does cheap licensed games based on kid IPs. The movie will probably happen eventually, the first version was just a casualty of Zaslav axing kids content made exclusively for HBO Max (there's a reason why the new season airs on Disney+/Hulu in the US). Or maybe not, but back when the movie was first planned there was no plan for a S7-S8 so maybe there was a trade-off there.
>>152125657I tolf you the truth, homo
>>152125675>new season got a considerable budget increaseIf this is true, why it looks worse than season 2?
>>152125675Clarence was way better than Gumball
>>152125719>If this is true, why it looks worse than season 2?Anon, I know you are probably trolling, but it doesn't. Notice S7 actually has a Tina episode. There is a reason why they almost never used that character, as she was the most expensive character in the show by far. She was prominent in Gumball S1 and they ran out of budget so badly one of the production companies dropped out and they had to scrap four episodes altogether. In S2 they had an episode planned for her that got scrapped due to budget despite it being fully storyboarded that got replaced by a bottle episode ("The Plan").
>>152125744So? That's not what he meant
>>152125819>probably trolling, but it doesn't.Nta but it's a fact. S2 gumball was the cartoon with the best shading/lighting of the last 20 years. I remember that in season 5 (or six) they reanimated a S2 scene in a flashback and it looked inferior in every way.
>>152125675It’s just two autists spamming Gumball threads hoping they can get their coomer fix on via someone posting incest.
how is her onlyfans going?
>>152125819>She was prominent in Gumball S1 and they ran out of budget so badly one of the production companies dropped out and they had to scrap four episodes altogether.It wasn't just because of Tina tho. S1 was expensive because it had better art, animation and colors.
>>152125936I like that style. Did you draw it?
>>152125147>>152125228>>152125675>>152125927>gumball get one or two threads per week after the release of FORTY new episodes >"why are you spamming threads? Autism!" >shows like adventure time, smiling Friends, hazbin and Helluva boss get several non stop threads for years and even fill the catalog when there is a new episode>...What causes this phenomenon?
>>152125567not an argument sperg, go watch spergverse.>>152125690spewing slanderous filth is not the truth, normie.
>>1521251314% slowdown from 25 to 23.976 fps, making it ever so slightly retarded
>>152125131Gumball had comics?
>>152125675>why is /co/ so weird about Gumball?It’s a form of arrested development manifesting because the show purposely went out of its way to keep itself in a near juvenile state. Gumball’s minimal lore building itself is a testament to that.Among with most of its contemporaries, it never aged with the viewer. I imagine that would lead to frustration even if it occurs subconsciously.
>>152125675>it got overshadowed hard by Adventure Time, Regular Show and later on Steven UniverseS1 and S2 Gumball had ratings than were more or less equal to Adventure Time and Regular Show's. S3 episodes surpassed RS and S4 surpassed AT. Steven Universe always got less views than Gumball. The idea that Gumball was some small time cartoon in the first half of the 2010s is ridiculous. That said, it's weird how gumball wasn't able to build a strong, long lasting fandom. Like OP said, it feels like if the show had zero impact.
>>152126224>>152125234>>152126224
>>152126224Gumball didn’t build a fandom because it gutted all of its characters for the sake of propping up the shitty cat and his fish.This was discussed in the last Gumball thread but many characters that anons like were either pushed into irrelevancy or flat out removed from the show by S2, so they could shoved the meme faces and Gumball being a shithead in our faces.Like the anon above said, Gumball settled for being a Family Guy instead of anything else.
>>152125675Gumball is a very curious case, contrary to the other 10's shows it never went off air and was keep on air for years at the shadow of TTG but never was relevant enough to get hate, so it keep going on cable, tiktok videos and YouTube compilations which is where zoomers and alphas watch cartoonsIt also helps that Ben Bocquelet despite being a hack KNEW what to do with his show from the get go after being turned down from AS instead of shooting itself with poorly written relationship melodrama whiich ended up fracturing the fanbase midway through, even the loreshit is better executed than Adventure Time and doesn't overstays it's welcome
>>152126269>but many characters that anons like were either pushed into irrelevancy or flat out removed from the show by S2What characters?
>>152125148What the hell are talking about? Ñ
>>152126294>Ben Bocquelet despite being a hack KNEW what to do with his show from the get goThat is why he basically rebooted the show after just ONE season, right?>ended up fracturing the fanbase midway throughBen did this no one but two times.
>>152126315Literally every character that isn’t the Wattersons.
>>152126336But most characters got their episodes after season 1
>>152126224>S1 and S2 Gumball had ratings than were more or less equal to Adventure Time and Regular Show's. S3 episodes surpassed RS and S4 surpassed AT. Steven Universe always got less views than GumballAnon, ratings aren't everything. Adventure Time, Steven Universe and Regular Shows (especially the first two) had big teenage/college/adult fanbases that didn't tune in to watch the premieres in Cartoon Network and pirated the show but bought merch and had huge fanbases who spread the show in social media. There is a reason why AT got a Minecraft crossover, a Simpsons couch gag, etc despite the show falling off in popularity after 2013-14.Gumball was popular with kids, but that was kinda it. It didn't gain a millennial adult fanbase back when it was airing. A lot of Gumball's popularity in social media these days is due to kids who grew up with it.
>>152126039All the shows you mentioned, except for Smilling friends, are for the same small group of aging +30yo soillennial women, and yes I specify soillenial since it's doubt the man who had a chance to watch anime like trash such as Steven Universe.Not surprise they get special treatment
>>152126386> I specify soillenial since it's doubt the man who had a chance to watch anime like trash such as Steven Universe.
>>152126039>bad, irrelevant show nobody really likes get undeserved threadsAutist.>actually decent shows that had or have fans gets threadsNormal behavior.That simple.
>>152125131CN hasnt made a good show since 2006 and subsides on nothing more than pure brain rot and TTGo
>>152126417>>actually decent
>>152126370Wait, there was an AT Simpsons couch gag?
>>152126490>CN hasnt made a good show since 2006Wrong, stop being stuck in the past
>>152125148>reddit friends
>>152126544Reddit isn’t a real description, you faggot
>>152126496And Gumkek is? HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>152126559Yes
>>152125675>Gumball seemingly got more popular the more /co/ started hating on iti noticed that a wider audience started to like gumball when they were keeping up with the current memes of the time. some shit about airpods and being too rich to pay attention to (you) and people ate that shit up. after that, gumball pandered to normie meme culture
>>152125131A part of me wants to point and laugh at how we got Gumflop instead of Gumballkino. But ever since "The Summoning" had been first released, I'm overally quite calm and even appreciative of at least some part of this show.
>>152126490
I LOVE GUMBALL SEASON 2 STYLE
>>152126626I’m personally just glad they finally admitted incest is wrong on screen.
>>152126703What? I don't remember that part
>>152126318
>>152126703Did you really need a writer to mention the obvious?
>>152125131I'll tell you what went wrong. The show lacked identity. The humor is extremely socialized. "This is the correct joke to make". It amuses people, sure, but only the radical art style made an impression on anyone. And Nicole apparently.
>>152126753The pedos who infested our threads for a while needed it.
>>152126791those freaks didn’t seem to particularly care as they brought two threads beyond 250 posts back to back recently
>>152126791>pedosBack to Troondit
>>152126817Nah they’ve all but been snuffed out now that Ben has rebuked them Which is why Gumball threads are now rare
>>152126766I'd say that the show became a slave to what made it so widespread on social media. Show always had some references to modern culture that initially blended well with its script, but after people began to pay notice, showrunners just kept leaning into it and doubling down until most of new seasons became just a reflection of its twitter / tiktok presence.
>>152126791>>152126849Holy newfags batman
>>152125975that's old filthypally art
>>152126748Coty of the year
>>152125936Anais forced her to close it. We lost hundreds of amazing videos.
>>152126849Gumball threads have been near dead since the first S7 batch released and only rage baiting autists force them to existence.Not sure what rock you live under where you don’t see this.
>>152127052Did you even read the post or are you just seething
>>152127098Yes.
>>152125131>>152125131unironically this show had a ton of potential for mechandise like I can see a scene kid rocking a TWAG fitso many of the background characters are so ugly to talk about even boring dare i say
>>152126552Neither does troondit, you sperg.
>>152127290>even boring dare i sayThat's what happens when the show does a poor job on focusing on them.
>>152125228>>152125147>STOP DISCUSSING CARTOONS ON THE CARTOON BOARD
>>152127290>boring dare i sayBecause their screentime was gutted
>>152127290>so uglyWarning - ragebait!
>>152125131>What went wrong?significant lack of Darbias content
>>152127510finally a good postBless your soul
>>152127448He is kind of right tho. Most secondary characters are unappealing. Only Teri, Claire, Penny and Rachel are good looking by normal standards. Yuki is supposed to be attractive but the lack of eyes scare normalfags.
>>152127580your definition of appealing are girls you can wack it to.
>>152127617Yeah, that is what appealing means most of the time.
>>152127617NTA, but it's a pretty solid reason for considering something as appealing.
>>152127752>mostNow that’s admitting there are other avenues of what can be appealing.Though the nature of this board doesn’t care about that so going any further than this is a lost cause.
>>152127580Don't forget Carrie. I find her attractive too.
>>152127847>Now that’s admitting there are other avenues of what can be appealingNot for normal people. If something or someone isn't cute, sexy or cool they consider it unappealing.
>>152127885This.I also want to fuck Masami’s eye holes so put her in too.
>>152127885I knew I was forgetting someone. Carrie is great.
>>152125131Well hey at least it was the second most spammed show on the channel!
>>152127922thanks for providing some other avenues even though I didn’t ask.
>>152127942Make them great Nude members.>>152127924Can she feel it through her eyes?>>152127942I do wish Carrie hang out with Teri more.
Was there really another thread like this like the guy people called a schizo at the beginning said? I'm actually curious to read more discussion about this topic.
>>152128564There’s a frequency of Nicole shitpost threads that spawn time to time and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s one retard samefagging himself until he garners an audience.
>>152128564No. This idea is forced by two or three schizos that hate gumball.
For me it's Nicoshida
>best girl didn't returnI'm pissed.
>>152129361that pic where she's getting piped by richard is hot
>>152125131Cringe Woke Tranny Show
>>152125936Quit when her mother started doing it too and got more followers than her in the first week
>>152129385If the movie ever appeared, I want Rachel to return. Have her be the ruler of the void.
>>152129423Actually, they work together
>>152129456I want her to be a new member of the nudist club
>>152129456The Void is effectively a sentient thing already. Would Rachel be an embodiment of the Void or something?
>>152129422You are the tranny
>>152129495Yes. I would love that. I'm thinking of sketching her along with Teri, Clare, and Masami>>152129501If she is strong enough to hold like Rob.
>>152129491Don't think she would be comfortable doing it with Johnny
>>152129747She can do it with any of her lovers/fans. She has thousands.
>>152129723>Yes. I would love that. I'm thinking of sketching her along with Teri, Clare, and MasamiPlease do when you have the time. As for me, I made this edit not long time ago.https://files.catbox.moe/k5th3h.png
Gumball is now made to be appealing to twitterfags and only twitterfags
>>152129456>>152129501rachel becomes the god of war
>>152130016Good edit, my friend. I'll try to get it done before the thread dies.
Despite what Ben will say, Darwin x Rachel was meant to be endgame and IS endgame. Darwin and Tobias are best friends, despite what Ben will say.
>>152130087Vengeance against the world along with her family, and especially Darwin.
>>152130112>pairing all the lamest characters togetherGood job
>>152130127>pairing all the lamest charactersHe wasn't talking about gumball and penny
>>152130095Nice! can't wait to see it. I also made one for Rachel too. https://files.catbox.moe/h98bon.jpg
>>152130202First time seeing a nude Rachel. Nice job.
>>152130127>all the lamest charactersBut enough about Gumball, Richard, Nicole, and Anais,
Let's be honest, Gumball/Carrie, Darwin/Rachael, Penny/Tobias and Nicole/red Construction Man are better couples than the shit we got. Pic unrelated.
>>152130273You're gonna make Ben cry himself to sleep, anon.
>>152130273>>152130195>We're now pretending Darwin isn't the worst WattersonWhat a nightmarish timeline we're living in
>>152130347Anais and Richard are the worst.
>Darwinfag is having a melty again
Nicole>Gumball>Richard>Anais>DarwinNo I am not an incestfag
>>152130457Swap Richard and Anais and you're right
>>152130428I'm not that guy. I just hate those bunnies
>>152130308I agree. It has more dynamic and funny ideas to pull off.
>Darwin is somehow the worst Watterson nowCatkeks have lost their damn minds.
>>152130518>nowAlways has been
>>152130530No, he's actually the best Watterson. In fact, he's held BACK by being a Watterson.If he was just his own guy he'd be even better lmfao.
Darwinkek...
>>152126865very good way of describing it
>>152130518I’ve been saying Darwin is the worst of the lot since at least 2019.But I will repeal that statement if the writers improve him or if they somehow make another Watterson worse than him.
>>152127580Why did they remove such a qt
>>152130629She was turned into a sex doll for the awesome store and Rob is fucking it every night now
>>152129392I bet mister Yoshida fucks better
keep this thread alive so i can draw for it
>>152131094Ya taking requests?
>>152129385Bring her back, you Cowards!! They are afraid because she overshadows Penny, the cloud, the ghost girl, etc.
my favorite character? why, sarah g. lato, of course.
Imagine having so many colorful adult characters and your "adult" fans only want to see middle school girls
>>152131094Cool
>>152131155>says that when over 90% of the fanarts and fanfics are about Nicole
>>152131106Yes anon, what would you like to see?
>>152125131Nothing went wrong, it's one of the few shows that CN considers a safe bet to pump into its schedule next to slop titans go. During its heyday it was ignored because it wasn't plot driven like channel darlings Adventure Time and Steven Universe (or adult-oriented like Regular Show), now that phase is over and it's just sort of appreciated for what it is.But I really wish they stopped with the unfunny Twitter post-caliber "satire".
>>152131135That’s a daring thing to say but I respect it.
>>152131208Nta but I would like to see your take on Nicoshida
>>152131208Mary x Johnny
>>152131208Requesting Darwin princess-carrying Rachel with them both smiling.
Well I watched both season of the new show and found it excellent and funny.>no cultural impactlmao twitter/discord zoomer mentality, who cares. Only my own personal opinion matters. Cartoon fans are psychotics anyway, I don't care what you retards think about anything.
>>152131094Since you take request. Could you draw Gumball x Teri doing the meme of The Simpsons from "Natural Born Kissers" that convenient censored their private parts.
>>152131181Not in these threads. We used to be better...
>>152131094Literally anything with Nicole/Anais/Mary and maybe Granny JoJo because Ben refuses to give us an all-girl episode
>>152130016>>152130202Now the gang is all here. Hope you'll enjoy this sketch.https://files.catbox.moe/157yds.jpg
>>152126148That sounds retarded, not everything needs "deep lore"
>>152126148It's a show that does age, it just doesn't like to admit it. Gumball in season 1 was much more childish and cutesy than the current snarky asshole who is referred to several times as a teenager. The humor also features less slapstick and grossout jokes (still a lot of it) and more referential or satirical ones.
>>152130202>>152131425Wtf??? Rachel is not for lewds
>>152131581Hearing that makes missed Season 1.
>>152131623Get off the internet, retard.
>>152131643Make me
>>152131581>Gumball in season 1 was much more childish and cutesy than the current snarky asshole who is referred to several times as a teenagerAnon, that changed immediately after S1. Honestly I feel like if anything Gumball is less snarky in TWWOG than he was in the middle seasons. Gumball and Darwin were at their most asshole in S2-3.
>>152131425hi that's very good sketch my man. Are you also going to digitally coloring them soon? don't rush it if you don't feel it's the right time.
>>152131800It doesn't matter if I make you or not, you're still an autistic retard that won't be taken seriously.
>>152131872He's less of an asshole now but that honestly makes him feel even older. Like he Darwin and Anais constantly yap about shit that 11 year olds have no business knowing like late stage capitalism and "pencil thin mustached guys". To a degree I get that's the joke but it feels like the writers really want to write teenagers but can't go all the way through.
>>152131894Why sure I can do that. ^^
>>152126791Based.
>>152131872>Gumball and Darwin were at their most asshole in S2-3.No? There were plenty of cute Gumball moments in S2. Like when he genuinely wanted to help Simian or when he was satisfied with being good at being happy. In later season you have shit like gumball trying to fix the relationship of Nicole and her parents, not because he cared about any of them but because he wanted more birthday and christmas gifts.
