Review: The Amazing World of Gumball ”The Egg”
Spoilers Below
Nicole invites a kid named ”Billy” over with his mom for a play date with Anais and right away the two little ones hit it off. Unfortunately, Billy’s mom is a bitch and a fight ensues after she starts belittling Nicole’s family right in front of all of them. Nicole flips out which causes the kids to runaway. Gumball becomes the voice of reason and convinces the moms that they have to work together to find their children, which they eventually do at the art museum. Turns out, Billy and Anais are now good friends.
Our Take
How about that character design for Nicole’s Satan? Good stuff. This show has always had great character designs, and the child-like characters feature some of the best voices in the business because they are just do damn adorable. I also couldn’t get over just how dark Billy’s mom was. Like seriously, she hounds on EVERY member of Gumball’s family and it was so bad it hurt MY feelings. Billy and Anais make a cute couple, hope to see more of them.
Score
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?
