Review: The Amazing World of Gumball “The Drama”
Love hurts.
Overview (Spoilers Below)
Gumball spends the whole day stalking Darwin because he’s worried that his brother’s girlfriend might not be suitable for him. But when Chelsie’s ex-boyfriend shows up for a rendezvous, Gumball learns that love conquers all…especially doubt.
Our Take
Tonight’s episode was by far the most interesting of the bunch. For starters, I love Chelsie’s more demonic tendencies like her flavor of music and her “alternate” way of looking at things. It’s a great contrast with Darwin’s more adorable tendencies and provides for an entertaining dynamic to progress. I also loved the cel-shaded direction during the climax with Gumball dragging Darwin to try and crash the aforementioned meetup between the two exes, a truly dynamic scene that needs to have extra attention shone on it. Overall, a rock-solid episode of Gumball, and of all the episodes to watch this week, this one is the focal point.





There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
