Rob went from being a forgotten background character to a main archenemy to Gumball for leaving him in The Void. All that because Gumball can't pronounce his name right.

I find Rob to be legitimately one of the most unique and interest antagonists I've ever seen in any media. He's the kind of character that cannot exist in any other show, which is astounding. When I was watching this show while airing, I knew of him and I thought "When is this background character going to have an episode" and then he became the MAIN VILLAIN. That will forever hold a special place in my heart. The fact that I followed this character's journey and was almost a part of it.

@kidshaldeman2091 Жыл бұрын

Exactly! Rob is so fascinating, and I love how they did his development. He, undoubtedly, IS the antagonist, but he’s not a bad person. Rob is a kid, who ultimately goes down a path of insecurity and feeling lost after he’s mutilated beyond anyone’s control and thrown into a world that doesn’t remember or care about him. Really, his only option is to become evil. And yet, in these episodes, we see small moments that make him more humanized. He has mannerisms that make him unique and relatable, and when it comes down to it, Rob is genuinely kind-hearted. That’s a favorite part of this, honestly. Whenever Rob does good things, he still gets punished for it. There’s no reason for him to actually care because the universe will punish him for it regardless… But he still does anyways, because Rob is a kid in a town that he loves and he wants to save people, even if all he’s known as is the scary bad guy. I’m getting way too deep into cartoon characters, but it’s all very profound to me. Rob is one of those characters that you just won’t get anywhere else.

I really hope in The Gumball movie and the new season Rob is in a major part of it

@squash589 Жыл бұрын

The way the creators develop their characters and creations is pretty insane and wonderful. Rob went from a minor background character to a villainous fan favorite and also becoming the first rivalry of Gumball, And Molly and Terry had more major roles and has more speaking lines and screen time than ever and the same goes to some of the each minor characters through the show. Ever since the void started to erupt, They made everyone kinda have a lot of more attention and personality in terms of this. Great video as always! Love the Character Developments in this show

@iantino Жыл бұрын

It's incredible how they even make Gumball and Darwin more fleshed out in relationships: Gumball and Darwin aren't simply a "bros against the world and is it" thing: they stand to each other for real, but nor just because they are brothers but because they really care. Same with Anais, Nicole and Richard: they genuinely like themselves in a non-flat way, almost every episode when they appear, they developed theirs relationship, even those who seam not by focusing in other things, like "The Game" Tobias don't have a sister, though. Why you would think he have? I don't know, there's anything about fan fictions like that. Nevermind.

@pollystarlight2362 Жыл бұрын

What I always loved about "The Rerun" was that dramatic scene of Gumball screaming at Rob after he temporarily has Darwin (along with Anais) killed. It made me wish there were more serious episodes in the series that are well written and maybe not stories like "The Hero" and "The Inquisition."

I don't think I've ever seen a show take a background character and turn them into a main character like how Gumball does it. I really want to know how the writers came up with this idea. Like was this planned or did it just happen? I also find it ironic how Rob is forgettable in the show, but is a character that every fan knows about and is able to remember

Darwin regressing in The Rerun is terrifying, you see him literally die in front of Gumball's eyes due to what seemed to be suffocation, it's genuinely freaky.

This episode still to this day gave me goosebumps just by seeing how rob literally made it work as a major threat to gumball after ruining his life at first. This is why rob in my opinion, is like the THANOS of the show but in a much controversial way, he reminds me of bill cypher from gravity falls when “( Reality is an illusion, and the universe is a hologram by gold )” this really makes me wonder if the next season will probably pick up after what happened when Rob fell into the Void or it’ll probably be different as a different time twist to be renewed
