That looks really good. Disappointing it got leaked, really. People'd probably be going crazy for this.

>>149151617 (OP)
Looks gay as usual.

>>149151617 (OP)
Oh, so we could've had nice looking brushes for digital clean-up the whole time for animation and instead people have been sticking to this thin, uniform, vector garbage, huh?

>>149152737
Only for talented animators. This is made by a single guest. 98% percent of people in the industry couldn't pull this off.

>>149152737
where are you seeing the not-digital brushes

>>149152890
What?

>>149152811
But I'm not saying the animation itself has to be this nice for entire 22-minute episodes, but if these modern shows could at LEAST use some different brushes for clean-up animation besides the standard default one that shows up when you launch the program for the first time.

>>149152737
Digitally colored animation can have any kind of line art or look you want it to have. Infinite possibilities and they choose shit every time.

>>149152811
Running their linework though a filter would achieve better results.

>>149151617 (OP)
This show always had a lot of body horror for a kids show.

>>149153085
This look like A Warp Daemonic Corruption.

Like the one in Warhammer fantasy.

>>149151617 (OP)

>>149151617 (OP)
Nice fan animation.

>>149153493
It looks official.

>>149152710
Disappoiting?
Now I'm truly hyped for the new season if there is going to be MORE of THAT

>>149152710
As someone in the fandom from 2016 i can tell you this is nothing... CNs all over the world aired episodes early, The Candidate,The Future and The BFFs got leaked as in storyboards before release, and even CN America released the episodes online before even airing those...

>>149151617 (OP)
Source?

>>149153493
Ben said it was a leak on reddit and the original uploaded deleted it, it's also already been DMCA'd on twitter

>>149151617 (OP)
Gumball feels so much better in a more "traditional" 2D animation than in the flash animation they use most of the time.

>>149151617 (OP)
This looks too graphic to be real, yet too professional to be fake

>>149151617 (OP)
That's like the epitome of form over substance:

>>149152737
Gumball has had *thicker* outlines than most modern cartoons since season 2 though.

>>149155285

John K? Is that you?

>>149155168
Most Gumballfags think the designs and the animation of the main characters are the best when they don't even have side and frontal views. They are 100% flat. These people don't know what art is.

>>149155536
>stylization is... LE BAD

>>149155471
You sound like you enjoy KOTH.

>>149155536
>when they don't even have side and frontal views. They are 100% flat.
That's only mostly true.
Teri doesn't have a side view other than a thin line and she IS 100% flat, but she does have a front view.

>>149155645
Why yes, I do.
How did you know?

>>149155597
>having a cheap style is... LE GOOD

What story? The void? That shit is forces as fuck.

I miss Superjail.

>>149155746
How the fuck is Gumball's beanmouth style "animesque"?

>>149155746
Anime characters aren't flat and stuck in a 3/4 view like Gumball

>>149155777
The designs of the first season feels anime inspired

>>149155746
>animesque
What the fuck are you talking about

>>149155746
>No animesque TAWOG episode for school, only for that battle between Nicole and Yuki
What a waste of potential. Imagine what could have been.

>>149156249
We need proper designs for Gumball and the rest and not this chibi bullshit

>>149155833

Learn to separate the art from the artist.

The thing behind the creation of TADC was An Unnatural Body-horror, but the Show liked everyone.

>>149155663
William the Mighty eye, ironically more powerful than Penny.

>>149156534
I’m not sure what is the point of Penny’s powers.
They are a representation of her finally being able to express herself and her emotions to Gumball in The Shell but it’s not like she was ever hindered by her shell in the first place as being hindered by it was never relevant to her character at all prior. And it’s not like she’s more expressive either. Easier to read with having actual eyes maybe but it’s not like anyone in the show expressed severe confusion on what she is trying to say. Like the only fucking thing that she is expressing is her god damned naked body. Her powers have never had a usage outside of very extreme situations and it’s not like she’s had a lot of those too. All she gets out of learning her heritage is that she can’t freak out, that’s it.
Unironically I think Penny being busted out her shell reflects more on Gumball and his new responsibilities than it does on Penny, and we all fucking know how Gumball treats her since that knot was tied.

>>149154396
These shots fucking rock it’s fine

>>149151617 (OP)
This looks more metal than what we have gotten in the previous seasons. Do you think season 7 will get a slightly higher age rating?

>>149151617 (OP)
The link isn't working for me for some reason. Can somebody describe what happens in it?

>>149157416
I still remember Ben saying that, with The Shell, he was going to do something never done in cartoons (having a character getting a permanent change) even when Adventure Time did it first (Finn losing his arm). He also said the episode was "miyazaki-esque" just because some Penny's form are anime references. At the end The Shell made Penny lame and ruined the cute relationship she had with Gumball. Also, her human form is disgusting.

>>149157416
>I’m not sure what is the point of Penny’s powers
Ben trying to turn Penny into a special snowflake.

>>149154161
The last batch of Season 6 episodes were also released early in Spain thanks to Movistar.

>>149154384
The rough animation was done by Jemery Pires he has done that type of animations before for The Ollie and The Drama. Clean-up was by the animation studio Pudoctopus.

>>149158517
I thought Movistar was from latinamerica

>a video from season 7 leaked
>thread doesn't even have 100 replies after almost 10 hours
And people say Gumball is popular...

>>149158737
They're all on Twitter.
And fuck no I'm not going over there either.

>>149151617 (OP)
it seems official but as far i can see its either one of that ID shorts as feature to show a guest animator in the tv commercials, or a segment of stilized animation in an episode. looks fun and well animated, but it gives no context of an episode. still wanna see an on model episode clip.

>I'm not going over there
So, how do you know they are talking about it?

>>149157789
I don't think it will have a higher rating, more likely Hulu is more lax with that stuff. CN is super extra nowadays, so much so that apparently Grandpa Max wasn't even allowed to drink coffee in that Ben 10 reboot from 2016.

>>149159518
Because I see them posting clips on my For (You) timeline with hundreds of thousands of views, and honestly I'm not sure how Gumball wedged itself in there now of all times when I've been doing nothing different.

>>149159330
Could be canon, we don't know anything about her family tree.

>>149159624
Did they delete the posts? I can't find anything. I just found this

>>149151617 (OP)
The show got really shitty in its last seasons. The characters became cynical to the point it wasn't even for comedy, they just passively reacted to everything while saying "this is so w it's like x had a y... that z'd." and doing the same T mouth expression. Forced political commentary, bullshit about the female characters vs the male characters, that shitty Anais baby episode where she kept trying to murder them and get them hit by trucks, etc.

Literally the only interesting thing by the end was the deep lore, because at least the characters were fucking doing something. But then you have a whole lore episode where gumball and darwin are genuinely pissed off they have to anything, even save their family, anyway. People shitposting about "lorefags" need to actually take into account that it's part of the show's creative side and that was the only thing by the end it even felt like they half-cared about putting effort into. Not even the characters wanted to be in the show anymore, it was just boring and at worst unlikeable and made the characters hateable.

I'm just curious what they'll do for the void but that's already all fucked up since it was supposed to be the movie plot, then that got put on hold while the series revival kept going, now the show has to somehow finish that story while the movie is reworked into something else? Why bother.

>but look at this epic scene!
it's a guest animator, pointing to a guest animated thing which is obviously different for a few minutes doesn't really help anything. it just keeps people slowly believing they're putting effort in by someone else doing something good. the first episode back is about fucking conglomorate burger companies and being fat. what biting satire.

>>149159864
I'm not sure how Twitter handles deletion but I would say no. I just haven't ran into any of this stuff since I made my comment so lmao I guess.

>>149157965
I remember someone awhile back saying that, even further back when the show was new, he actually talked to Ben through email and he had talked about how he had a heartfelt crazy finale in mind. Does anyone remember that? They posted the image of the email he got. It was the thing towards the end of the shows run that I'd keep in mind to hold out that the show would get good again for a nice sendoff when it felt like the characters hated each other and became south park-lite.

>>149160366
This is art. Not even the guest animators drew their side profile after the first season. It's always the 3/4 view

>>149160532
There are probably artist guidelines they can't break.
Because holy fucking shit the team that made Don't Hug Me I'm Scared made the nastiest Gumball ever and I feel like it ruined the entire sequence aesthetically.

>>149151617 (OP)
Will Penny get a bigger presence this season?

>>149159893
>doing the same T mouth expression
Is there, like, a term for this expression or something? Because it was weird how we got it at least, what, once an episode?

>>149160683
We used to call it the T-face when the show was airing.
That and the valid complaint of metaphors kinda got lost to time but some people remember it still.

>>149160583
>Wasting the chance of giving Gumball a three-dimensional model
This is why we will never get good merch. The on-model style doesnt work in 3D. Fucking Ben isn't a real artist.

>>149160719
So weird to me that nowhere else seems to talk about the face. I try and google it and there was nothing.

>>149159782
Yeah, sounds interesting if they give her more Fairy/Leshen Folkore-theme to her Character.

Give it more of a connection to the mythical creatures of the forest and also bring in an area we haven't seen since Season 1.

The Forest of Doom

I hope they get fired for leaking this.

>>149160802
Stfu

>>149157965
Like what forms?

The Dragon could be anything.

>>149160683
>>149160750
You aren't allowed to talk about the show's flaws outside 4chan. You must praise every single aspect of the show.

>>149160750
/co/ was extremely cynical during this time so yeah it's out special little calling card in a way.
To this day I think the show finding its popularity on the internet during season 5 is what killed /co/ into becoming as cynical as the show, but that might totally be me projected here.

>>149160899
What other expression would you use to represent discomfort or that they have no way to excuse themselves from a problem or situation?

>>149160923
Well now that makes me wonder why the crew made the characters so uncomfortable so late in the show because the T-face happened maybe twice before season 5, but then it became super rampant right after. Even Teri does it and I wouldn't be surprised if Alan did it too. It was applied to everything.

>>149160983
Ok, That's a good point.

Why does everyone in this thread hate Gumball and Ben Boquelet?

>>149160923
I don't know, maybe the faces they used in the first two seasons

>>149160923
Upturned eyebrows, red eyes, and a squiggly-lined mouth

>>149160923

>>149161048
This?

>>149161054
Looks odd.

>>149161081
>A cartoony expression is odd to young people
This is why we can't have good things

>>149151617 (OP)
Anyways what happened to this show?
It started off as a show about an underdog kid with mostly straightforward humor but i saw a scene from one of the latter episodes and it seems aimed at post-irony zoomers

>>149161202
The earliest episodes were pretty charming and lighthearted, even if it may've had some subversive dark humor at times like anything else in the 2010s. Gumball was absolutely just a little hyperactive kid. It's sort of the same thing that happened to Finn in Adventure Time but at least they were able (due to not needing to change any settings) to say he was getting older. They specifically make a point that the characters in Gumball don't age and stay kids forever for meta humor, but even disregarding that it's obvious they're not getting older anyway and they basically just revised the show after a couple seasons and semi-retconned the early tone. The later seasons after Gumball becomes a bored annoyed dick are all anyone knows now outside of a small handful of clips you might see rarely for meme purposes.

>>14916120
That's what's popular with younger audiences nowadays.

>>149161308

>>149161202

>>149151617 (OP)
Seems kind of violent. Is it not for kids anymore?

>>149159624
>with hundreds of thousands of views
Isn't contemporary X completely overrun with AI bots that, the instant a company requests it, can boost engagement to heavens and beyond? Numbers on X aren't as good of a metric as they used to be.

>>149161495
It's basically just that sort of stoner rock style like Rat Fink even Spongebob parodied. Being violent is kinda ignored when it's this sort of trippy nothing-is-actually-happening visualization.

>>149160532
>>149160583
Even TTG drew Gumball's side profile. Why can't Ben do the same?

>>149161524
You got a point, reminds me on the damage control WB used for The Flash and how they probably paid off people to shill Suicide Squad. So yeah they could be fluffing numbers with AI here.
But of course we can never give exact numbers to determine how organic this all is, but considering how Gumball became Twitter's favorite clip show before AI bots ran rampant makes me think that it all could be more genuine than not.

>>149161811
I didn't use twitter back then because all the artists posted on tumblr (before the nsfw purge). How was it?

>>149161772
It's a time saving measure I'd imagine. If the characters are locked to one profile, that leaves everybody who works on the show with less imagination, so therefore they can compose a scene much faster. Of course all that would help save money too.
TTGO would be a very different process to churn out an episode and I bet that show is super god damn cheap to make in comparison to anything else on CN when it was fresh, and even now.
And maybe it is a bit of Ben's ego here too. I dunno, it could be like how Matt Groening doesn't like the fluid animation of the earlier seasons but I don't even know if that's a true thing he said.

>>149159893
I remember one anon outlining it perfectly how, at one point, all sense of wonderment had just disappeared from show's characters.
Back when I was watching seasons 4-6 (though the decline might have happened as soon as mid season 3), I kept telling myself that the show was consistently entertaining, but couldn't help but feel bored and embarrassed to watch it without knowing why. Turns out if your cast of characters keeps acting like they are bored out of their minds and cringe at everything they see, some of it will just rub off on the viewer making them gradually sick and tired of the show they initially enjoyed watching.

>>149157965
It only really ruined the relationship because they more or less dropped it after that time.

>>149161860
I didn't use Twitter either until the turn of this decade.
I just know that internet culture bleeds, and every time someone wanted to show me a Gumball clip, it was always a season 5 or 6 Gumball clip that pooled out of Twitter.

>>149161148
Not to Young people.
When i said that?

>>149154396
Gumball always had "form over substance" moments, and it's not like they were bad.

>>149162200
The Fury had substance. 95% of the episode prepared you for the anime fight.

>>149162200
They never where bad, was Peak Fiction.

>>149156400
This weakness of Nicole will always he funny.

>>149162359
I love these mexican memes

>>149162359
Translation:

"Nicole when she runs into her friend, who was trained in various martial arts"

"Nicole when she runs into a strange guy who lives in the desert"

>>149162359
>>149162385
I like when Nicole loses. Super nicole is boring.

>>149162530
Only in moderation, Teri should still get all the shit

>>149161966
I think Hector is a character that suffered greatly from this bullshit loss of wonder that happens because of seasonal rot.
Season 2 episode? Cool we learn who he is after not knowing anything about him in season 1. So great, now what? When's his next full episode so I can learn more about him?
In Season fucking 6. That's fucking years. At this point I'm conditioned to not care anymore because the writers have shown commitment to me that they couldn't be assed until now.
Why in the hell would I ever get excited about Hector now if it seems like they'll just pull him away again? The world at season 2 isn't settled yet, by season 6 it is. The wonder about learning the world and its characters died because I've seen enough to get the routine. And part of that routine involved him being sidelined. I already know who's important in this time frame. I already know about which characters get storylines and episodes by season 3. I already know that the void is the greatest threat that never fucking does anything. What does Hector getting an episode in season 6 add now, like really?
Same with William. Idaho. Ocho. Teri. I think their latter episodes have some huge flaws but really I think my biggest issue is that I lost investment because the show changed into something else by this time that they were never really going to be the same characters I fell in love with those years back. The change is too abrupt.
I already saw how Penny played out. Carrie becomes narrative fishbait because they needed another love story.
Tina is effectively a season 1 character because she never mattered in the same way again. Fucking Anton gets one episode, and in someways I think that was a blessing. The Eggheads nobody remembers the names of are just there, how lame.
So many opportunities and I just feel like it was all squandered. Some characters I think make it out of the show fine but as someone that was here for all of them, it just hurts my heart to see how they ended up.

>>149162555
A relevant character should get all the slapstick, not Teri.

>>149162680
Nah. We could settle on Anais though.

>>149162680

You mean Penny, She's a very Relevant Character and have little slapstick for some reason.

>>149162595
This is why TADC sucked me in without even trying. Sure, it's a fucking mess and show's creator keeps fucking with fans as often as possible. But at the very least characters have been fleshed out before show's pilot has been made, so you get to discover more about them while already being provided cues and hints as to what they are.
In TAWOG, however, very little was retained from pitch bible (anyone remember Bobert being teacher's pet or Jamie + Tina + Anton bully gang?), leaving most of characters with no characterization or personality until season 2. While Teri was fleshed out according to her pitch bible entry, that only happened mid season 2 with "The Words" and "The Virus" - while in season one she was smiling while Molly explained how her idea of treehouse toilet is a hole in the floor.

Your negativity solves nothing and only spoils the mood for true fans of the show right before its revival and enshrinment as CN's best of the best.
Stop.

>I still remember Ben saying that, with The Shell, he was going to do something never done in cartoons (having a character getting a permanent change) even when Adventure Time did it first (Finn losing his arm).

A character getting a permanent change? Like Enzo Matrix both losing his eye and growing up? Almost 2 decades before Adventure Time did it with Finn's arm.

I can't trust Ben's word as, despite him keeping a low profile, there is quite a bit of arrogance to him. As S7 was still in the works, he went out and claimed that S7 will have a heartwarming conclusion to it - how can he be so sure that this will be how fandom reacts to it? Even long-time veterans of animation industry know that it's impossible to predict reactions of fans, yet Ben thinks he has it all figured out.

>>149151617 (OP)
These guest animator sequences usually suck. Guess this continues that trend. Rest of the show will probably be fine though.

>>149163583
Have you seen Ben's promo for Annecy 2025? Whole thing is saturated with post-irony and jaded self-aware metabullshit.

>>149163626

At least you found something in TADC. For me it's hard to care about any of the funny new scrimblos because it only took a few kicks to teach this dog not to engage with the ever changing horizon.
Gumball. Pokemon. Sonic. Kirby. Each one had a unique little way to hook me in, and a unique little way for me to not care about them in the way I used to. Not that I will ever turn them away entirely but they all taught me... to learn when to keep a distance? I think that's the best way I can put it. I know what each of these franchises are up to still and it's cool to see that they chug along for someone else to maybe pick it up for the first time, so I find happiness in that, everyone deserves to have their golden opportunity like I did, but it's not for me anymore. Hell, if I get that opportunity to interact with anything new they put out I will take it, but the urgency isn't strong like it used to be, I won't be chasing it like in the past.
Basically, one man's trash is another man's treasure! I hate to sound rude and cynical, I've done enough of that in my life (and here in this thread too if I must admit) but that is probably the best analogy I can make at the moment, I just ask that you tune down the vileness of that phrase a bit to hopefully understand I don't mean to be as harsh as I sound. I still find new avenues of media to engage with so I'm not jaded, I've developed a new pattern of tastes that are fairly polar with what I used to like, but I'm not going to let this new pattern be the new me entirely. This pattern wouldn't exist without the old pattern anyhow, and I have to acknowledge that and learn how to respect what I can.

Well, that's all there is. It's not like fans can just churn out their own Gumball merch.

Is that really true? I’ll admit I stopped regularly watching CN after Regular Show ended but I have watched a bunch of TTG with my nephews since then and for when I can tell everyone on that show is a massive fucking prick.

>inb4 but Finn finally lost it afterwards
By the time they did it everyone stopped caring and taking it seriously, if you already reversed it once with the power of terrible sexual allegories why even bother backtracking again? You already lost the trust of the viewers and even if you finally commit to it, it isn't like he cannot get it back with forced shit writing once again.

A trailer is coming out on Monday, yet this thread is already on page 10. It seems like the second proper news came out about the show, threads started dying. Did everyone move to Twitter and TikTok?

>>149172607
I've been here before and after.
I would like to say that the threads are now primed for future discussion instead of retreading the past, but the issue to this is that we are in a dry spell because we have like a collective of four minutes of footage or so. So we can't actually do much.
Or shit's just fucked and this tempo remains the same even when the show is out.

>>149172607

Reminds me of a Christmas special for "Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack".
In that episode cap'n K'nuckles seeks to escape the beating for ending up on Neptune's naughty list. In doing so, he accidentally saves the whale Bubbie from drying up.
As a result he (because Thurop van Orman isn't Ben Bocquelet) ...still ends up awaiting swift punishment from Neptune's underlings as - which they stated outright - he had only been a good person for five minutes out of entire year's worth of heinous, despicable and abominable behaviour.
He only gets spared because all the other deplorable evildoers of Stormalong had mounted an uprising over "persecution of bad people" and overpowered his punishers.

>>149166797
It could be a more reasonable complaint if it weren't for a show that's known for mixing several art/animation styles together so there's genuinely nothing that'd be unfitting for it. I don't know what anon is getting at

>>149178213
Flapjack had soul

>>149177397
Don’t have that one and this one isn’t exactly Gumball themed, but this is the best I can do.

>>149178213
I feel that a lot of people are just easily swayed when a piece of media tells them something.
Kratos from God of War I think is a huge enigma in this sort of thing because he literally kills thousands before becoming God of War, kills probably tens of thousands when God of War, and then immediately floods Greece when waging war with Zeus, killing millions in collateral almost immediately.
And then people think that his recent trials in the Norse Realms washes that away? That somehow he's more nuanced? That he deserves any good or self-forgiveness because of it?
Like I dunno dude, shit just seems fucking baffling, is it because he's a fucking dad again? Is that the fucking secret to making someone likable to the masses, by making them a god damn dad?

>>149178967
>>149177831
I didn't reply to everything I wanted to.
Oops.

>>149178967
Well, most gamers never cared about the "collateral" damage caused by Kratos in the first place.
>Is that the fucking secret to making someone likable to the masses, by making them a god damn dad?
Yes. It worked for Vegeta from Dragon Ball too.

>>149179159
Then it's just even more weird because the viewers are convinced to care about Kratos's past but they don't actually recognize the severity of what he did wrong.

>>149178814

Even the most generic of Glitch Production merch ads get between 10 to 20 times as much. This means that all of TAWOG is less relevant than some indie studio.

>>149180431
It’s an indie studio with probably the most popular cartoon on the internet currently.
Not that I’m trying to downplay Digital Circus but these guys found something that most indie creators dream they could land. They are on another league entirely.

>>149180793

>>149167492
Could gumball do something similar to Fantasia 2000?

Gumball is a satirical comedy, but outside that, it's a masterpiece of art, an ode to creativity, with characters so varied not only in appearance but also in their own right, coming in different types of animation, ranging from 2D, 3D, stop-motion, CGI, etc.

While Fantasia is an ode to art and animation in general, an orchestral journey where each melody is accompanied by a beautiful animation in a different style.

>>149181468
>it's a masterpiece of art, an ode to creativity
It's not. No when the 2D characters are "flat"

>>149181468
>with characters so varied not only in appearance but also in their own right, coming in different types of animation, ranging from 2D, 3D, stop-motion, CGI, etc.
What's the point of having those when storywriters have been using them less and less frequently? You would have to basically fire their entire writing departament and put Ben exclusively in animation departament.

>>149181527
Take a good look at the characters and their concepts to see that (well outside of the Wattersons) there are quite interesting characters, like Penny herself, for example.

Who in Concept much of what's mentioned here: >>149160762

>>149181534
>Gumball mostly a satirical comedy.

And that is his almost its Achilles heel.

>>149181626
>well outside of the Wattersons
That's the problem - Ben is WAAAAAY too fixated on his protagonist family, right to a point where he cannot see that they are this show's most generic characters.

>>149181024
It's not even about the quality, but rather the nature of the product itself.
I don't even know how to describe it. Nowadays people just developed taste for everything generic and uninspired. Things like tadc who looks like made for gay underaged retards with brain damages both visually and narratively. Thing I would never expect to get this much attention instead do it for basically no reason or actual merits. It's all just so random.

>>149181626
>post the shell Penny
>interesting
She is just a lightbulb

>>149181683
A family of cute animals > random things like a ghost, paper and a lightbulb

>>149181708
I think the idea of the Design is that it's like an abstract being that fits with its powers of transformation, which are literally either forest animals or legendary creatures like dragons, gremlins or Minotaurs.

>>149181783
Fit for a shapeshifting fairy

>>149181783
>>149181801
That is just your headcanon. There is nothing "abstract" about Penny. Her design is a lightbulb with wings

>>149181740
>A family of cute animals
These are ten a penny. Just go to a nearest post office and look through greeting cards. Everyone does such designs, to a point where they are, like, half of all the cartoony characters ever devised.

>>149181853
>There is nothing "abstract" about Penny
How would she have looked like when abstracted?

>>149181683
An emo/goth ghost who also has skills in witchcraft and all things ghost-themed and haunted.

A hypochondriac paper bear whose design could reflect his fear of germs and his health, as being made of paper makes her very fragile.

Penny's, apart from what's already explained, only being able to transform into beasts based on his emotions, reflects much of his personality and how The Shell had a nervous breakdown, and each being represented a state of mind ranging from anger, disgust, fear, and sorrow.
(She's still to young to control them at will)

>>149181853
Are you joking, right?

You expected a generic Watterson design like this or what?

>>149181783
>>149181801
Well yeah, let's agree to that.
My problem is that The Shell is it is the halfway point, and the amount of times her transformations matter can be counted on one hand. I would even say her design doesn't lend itself to looking like it can transform either. She's yellowish-orange with wings, Clayton's design fits better to transformation because he's visually clay. Clay can be molded into anything so it makes sense on him. That's what she competes with here, something that requires background knowledge vs something that can be shown off and understood in seconds.
Interesting in theory, but in execution? I don't think Penny is.

>>149181927
I expected something good, not the trash we got.

>>149181982
So you WANTED a Generic Furry?

>>149181927
I expected a plant-like being or something related to nature. She was a peanut and her cousin is a flower. How the hell you go from that to a yellow lightbulb? Ben is just a huge hack.

>>149181934
Ok, That's a Good point, but like i said, she also fits so well into the Fairy/Leshen Folkore-theme.

In Her shell looks like a Creature inside a Cocoon of Wood, outside it is a Pure-mana fairy and the forms she take are forest animals or Legendary Beasts.

Very Faeric the Concept.

>>149182113
Fairies are also releated to Nature, like the Wood Elves.

>>149182038
At least deer Penny looks cute

>>149182146
Is a Chinese doppelganger like Chichi.

>>149182122
>>149182145
Why do you try to defend Penny's awful design posting things that look nothing like her?

>>149182168
In an abstract concept they are.
I mean, how you image a shapeshifting fairy?

>>149182187
>how you image a shapeshifting fairy?
She should be good looking in the first place.

>>149182221
Sadly, Gumball's overall aesthetic prevented a more detailed design that would fit with Penny's previous design.

She could be described as a wooden cocoon.

>>149182262
So Penny’s design is simplistic enough because it just is?

>>149182262
No one is asking for a "detailed" design. Just for a good or at least cute one.

>>149182293
Kinda, i mean, just look Carrie or Masami.

(Although it is interesting that Masami was given an Eastern Yokai Cloud theme like her parents)

>>149165366
>>149165772
>>149165919

>>149182324
She looks cute...?

>>149182325
The thing about Penny is that everything prior to her hinted nothing about being a fairy. She was designed as a peanut and then reworked into what she is now.
Whenever you ask questions it’s not like we’re going to be able to change your mind because you’ve already decided that she’s the perfect fit, that now I’m wondering why you’re trying to convince us of anything at all.

>>149182335
When your old design is better looking you know you did something wrong

>>149182383
Curvy peanut is better.

>>149182376
At first it can be interpreted as something with a Forest theme, I mean, It's like the hollow trunk of a Tree, its body is literally a "hollow Peanut", It has elk antlers and its family seems like the cliché of the conservative family that lives in the forest.

The people who defend yellow Penny are as bad as the retards that defend the post S2 circle eyes.

>>149182451
then answer the main question:

>>149181468

>>149182428
Nobody ever assumed this when the show was new, people thought she was a peanut with antlers and that was it.
You’re retroactively fitting information to make your narrative.

>>149182540
>Nobody ever assumed this when the show was new, people thought she was a peanut with antlers and that was it.

>>149182540
With maybe something underneath, but nobody expected a yellow glob.
A yellow glob that in no way indicates her being able to transform while there is another student who can. It’s effectively the same thing as when Nicole hulks out and turns into a demon. She could have busted out of her shell as a deer with wings and she could transform all the same and nobody would bat an eye because that would be the consequence of her being released.

>>149182562
You are defending a lightbulb. If there is one who needs imagination that is you

>>149182620
You only read what you want, aren't you?

>>149181783

>Gumball's season 2 design
Are we getting the oval eyes back in the new season?

>>149182649
>You only read what you want, aren't you?
Do you? >>149181853

>>149182649
And how are you not?
You would have accepted Penny as any design because what she is now is super abstract. She could be literally any other design and it would fit the bill of fairy to a T because the range of fairy is from human to blob in a world of cartoon antics.

>>149182674
Seriously...

>>149182695
Go back to twitter where people worship the shit you like

>>149182652
Going by the teaser, probably not.

>>149182692It could be better, yes, it could.

But at least it's not a generic Furry and is something more interesting to analyze.
Which apparently many of you don't do.
The Furry design is like the Wattersons, Empty and Generic.

>>149182709
No thanks, is full of other Kind of Assholes, more Woke mind-infected assholes.
I see why here you hate them.

>>149182724
How is it more interesting to analyze when anything could have popped out of that gashapon and everything of the conversation would practically stay the same?
So what if she’s a furry when she could still transform erratically in The Shell all the same either way? The main characters are furries, the world is weird where anything can happen. Her design could have been anything and the story would roll out the same anyway because this is just a discussion of aesthetics.

>>149182724
>It's empty and generic because... because I don't like it, okay

>>149151617 (OP)

>>149182758

Also:
>Her design could have been anything and the story would roll out the same anyway because this is just a discussion of aesthetics.

That's an interesting question, The main plot revolves around the Wattersons, the Void, and Rob.
While Penny is relevant, she's still stuck in the sidekick side to the story among carrie, someone who, unless the writers want her to be, could have a real impact on events, as Rob did or the main character's family will.

But she could be given episodes that develop her more, like The Shell and The Transformation.

>>149182824
>Take it as like a challenge to your mind and creativity, trying to make sense of something so strange within its own logic.
That’s just a long way to get around what I’m saying.
She’s a yellow blob born out of randomness where you are just trying to fit things into a pattern that would turn out 99% the same in another scenario if only she looked different.

>>149182802
Plus, Beavis and Butthead didn't glorify mental retardation, but showed it for the societal bane it actually is.
None of that "I had a shitty upbringing, so please feel sorry for me while I continue my path towards self-destruction that consumes my loved ones" crap.

These threads are so bad, they always devole into monkeys throwing shit at each other

>>149182861
Being Gumball's girlfriend already puts her on a pretty high pedestal, deal with it.

>>149182869
And that's what makes it interesting, simply not being able to leave everything in a "just because it is" situation when you have puzzle pieces scattered everywhere.

Even though they're cartoons, they still obey their own logic.

>>149182953
But it is just the way it is because it’s been determined that a fairy can be anything from human to what Penny is.

"the cancellationgation" sounds like a meta episode.

>>149182724
That generic furry design that you hate so much is better than the design we got.

>>149182993

Neither is Larry Needlemeyer, despite having a major role in S7's first episode, as well as being production crew's mascot. It isn't exactly a useful metric.

>>149183348
Meanwhile you Have Tobias, A Furball, Robert, a Robot, Masami, A Yokai Cloud, Clayton a Clay ball, William a Psychic Eye, Sarah a Ice cream and a Huge Etc.

Fake fan spotted.

>>149183408
Luckily she transformed into a Dragon so as not to see such an ugly design.

>>149183408
I mean there’s a pretty successful candy with that color scheme that’s been going about before we were all born.

>>149183408
Can't unsee this pose, lol.

>>149183408
Ben is a ______

>>149183426

>>149183453

>>149183455
What?
It's Bobert, NOT Robert.

Pennyfag, do you realize you are the only one here that likes her The Shell design, right? Why are you fighting everyone else?

>>149183510
Writing fast, anyone can make a mistake.

>>149183391
What do they have to do with anything?

>>149183453
NONCE!

>>149183514
Excuse me what?

>>149183531
Not Everyone are Anthropomorphic animals.

>>149183453
Here she looks more like an Angel.

>>149183571
Yes and some characters not initially related to the family are.
So it’s not that far fetched that a character who would become attached to Gumball could have become an animal character.

>>149182652
>>149182834
>Mostly women and some fag looking guys
Gumball bros...

>>149183656
Carrie does and she's a Ghost, not the Ghost of some animal.

And Penny like already say a lot, can transform into all kind of creatures.

>>149183739
Things look grim...

>>149175015
At least those bot bait posts attract artists

>>149175015
>>149183971
>>149175494
And speaking of EDLV, he fell for it too

>>149183790
So what are you getting at?
Penny could have been an animal but wasn’t, but it’s not like there was any actual rule that said she couldn’t be.

every time these threads talk about something other than wanting to fuck Nicole, it turns out shit

>>149184126
Why would I want to talk about Nicole porn when e621 does everything I need?

>>149184142
E621 doesnt post everything

too much arguing about penny, post about how hot she is instead

>>149184126
I miss the old days when there were anons writing fanfics and greentexts about the wattersons...

>>149184410
Yeah actually that's fair enough.
>>149184479
Maybe if the show didn't make them all super shitty then maybe they'd get fics still.

>>149184503
Their "shitty" personalities still work for smut.

>>149184632
I think some people are tired of the endless cuck spam that happens across the site.

>>149184671
The idea of Nicole cheating on Richard predates the rising of the cuck meme and it's as old as the show itself.

>>149175015
The view-count also counts autoplay for 1 second. And most people never disable it.
So, videos' stats are always very high.

>>149184715
So Gumball fics lost a niche then.

Anyone here is old enough to remember this Gumball/Nicole fanfic? It was written in a thread from 2013. It was a different time for the fandom https://pastebin.com/yPiTqmys

>>149184479
An anon made a good gumwin fic but that was almost a year ago now. Hopefully this season will bring more fics

>>149184471
Excuse me?

>>149184471

>>149184923
I guess no one was here was part of early 2010s /co/

>>149185591
you heard me

I want to feel her squishy body, kiss her soft lips, play with her pretty feet, and worship her beautiful ass

>>149185839
Here a Real Neko penny

>>149185839
You rather like the Evil Penny

>>149160261
her boyfriend is also an animal.

>>149185839
Good art
>>149185860
Mediocre art

>>149185684
Penny wondering where Gumball is (the blue retard is probably with Rob or the hot dog again) and thinking she needs to find a more loyal boyfriend

>>149186086
is her and the bear even zoophilic if she's an abstract creature that can even become animals herself?

>>149187150
Yes because Penny is conscious while the bear isn’t.
… I would think, it could be aware considering it’s Gumball.

>>149187150
You are a good Pennyfag. Keep posting titty penny

>>149185839
God's embrace will destroy us all.

https://youtu.be/Miq02c1qoRk?si=wCPWolo_anIMWsvX

>>149186096
Nah, i rather the design that fits the most with the cartoon.

Also, i love that silly tummy.

>>149187570
I'd touch Penny's tummy

>>149187570
The style of the show doesn't work for complex drawings.

>>149187872
To slim

>>149184047
Gumball wouldn't like it.

>>149188039
Because… you self-insert as him or something?

>>149151617 (OP)
So...ripping off Ed Roth, I see.

>>149151617 (OP)
So....they're ripping off Ed Roth and his grotesque monsters + vehicles thing, eh?

>>149188136
You moron.

>>149151617 (OP)
Damn, Gumball has really run out of ideas, when did this show go so shit?

>>149189218
>They're ripping off generic rock band cover art and MTV music videos
Yes

>>149184671
lmao
Never

>>149189629
>when did this show go so shit?
Around the time when second season was coming to an end. Most of the stuff created afterwards is just derivative and made for clout.

Damn, the new trailer spoiled that the whole town is in the void and the characters don't know. I feel like that was going to be a dramatic reveal given they avoid showing the sky clearly in episode 1's opening.

>>149189855
Is this real?

>>149189866
Yes, they also showed Gumball sucking a penis.

>>149189855
The Trailer didn't come on monday?

>>149189874
Did they show Nicole uploading videos to her Elmorefans?

>>149154396
>overly animated and pointless action
Nigga do you even like cartoons?

>>149189593
Then what is it?

>>149190310
Simply moral, he won't fuck a Rabbit, a Squirrel and a mice a Giant Wolf like the one of Dark Souls and much less a Freaking Dragon.

(5 of the Animal forms of Penny)

That's nasty.

>>149190394
If that's so, then explain why Penny should be okay fucking with a cat.

>>149190523
NTA, but I think she should be okay with fucking a mantrain of black men.

>>149191132
But that's not ethical

>>149191276
But neither is having kids with a cat person.
Penny is unironically a furry.

>>149191319
They say a cat is fine too

>>149189629
When the eyes changed

I'm talking to one of the new animators right now and he is defending the circle eyes. He even said they are more expressive

I think today I will start rewatching the show.
And now that I think of it, I think the rewatching part was always going to be the hardest part for me. This is the moment I will dread the most, and I don’t think season 7 itself will spawn this sort of feeling out of me.

>>149192668
You're a glutton for punishment, it seems.

>>149192439
>He even said they are more expressive
Well, his future job prospects depend on brown-nosing animation studios on his resume.
It will take Ben leaving his field of work before any of them will dare to criticize anything relating to Gumball and show's direction.

>>149193496
>his future job prospects depend on brown-nosing animation studios on his resume.
I know but saying that the circle eyes with tiny pupils are more expressive and that the old big pupils were a limitation is retarded.

>>149193893
By the end of season 2 the big eyes use declined so much that they basically only appeared when the characters where static.
It really makes no sense to not bring it back. They are cuter than the small round eyes.

>>149193893
I remember checking out one animator who worked on S7's 2D animation and - in the wake of Saberspark being outed as a suspected rapist - went on the offensive to claim that only people in the animation industry should be taken on their word when criticizing animation.
So even if they believe in something that is factually wrong, they will never acknowledge that fact unless you're one level above them.

>>149151617 (OP)
Link?

>>149193922
Animation as in just the drawings or the entire collective entity of animation, which includes story, and music and etc. too?
I don’t have a frame of reference for what Saber does exactly so I’m out of the loop for the whole picture.

It's weird how /co/ is the only place that wants the old eyes. Everyone else thinks the circle eyes look better

>>149194166
>Everyone else thinks the circle eyes look better
Normies are retarded - no surprises here.

>>149194166
I’m convinced most of Gumball’s current audience missed seasons 1 and 2 when they first aired

>>149194166
Anais is built for ANAL

>>149194166
>the old eyes
Not everyone is lucky enough to retain those.

>>149194680
Die

>>149194680

>>149192439
The circle eyes fucking suck shit but they fit more with the cynical nature of season 3+, putting the oval eyes back in but keeping the current writing would just feel wrong

>>149192439
Note: This was the guy I spoke with

>>149195576
Proof?

>>149195749

>>149195917

>>149195937
>It would limit the possibilities
Shows like MLP have characters with enormous oval eyes that manage to be expressive.
Kinda of sad the cuter eyes aren't coming back.

>>149151617 (OP)
Oh assumed this was fan autismo

>>149196108
The worst part? The seasons with the big eyes were far more expressive. It's a fact that anyone can check by watching the old episodes. So, why lying about them limiting the possibilities?

>>149196173
And that's a Problem?

>>149197495
A lie is a lie unless it’s them living in the ignorance that their lie is a truth

>>149182335
Based.

https://x.com/Wazzaldorp/status/1877762329057849406

>>149197509
Are you Rob?

>>149198448
It's going to be funny that they can't rely on him and Gumball for shitty worthless meandering episodes anymore like the "uh I hate you but uh I hate someone else now I hate you again?" episode

>>149198837

>>149198849
Stop posting, pennyfag

>>149198933
Make me.

>>149198371
>“Gumball would never”
None of these people have watched Gumball past season 3

>>149199183
I see.

>>149199183
Are you implying people from fucking twitter watched the first seasons?

>>149199238
They probably haven’t watched full episodes either

>>149199183
xitter defend Richard. What do you expect from it?

>>149199393
>>149199238
You really can’t point out any of the Watterson’s flaws without being attacked on Twitter. These people must be clipwatchers because they couldn’t have seen all the times that Gumball treated Penny like shit in the later seasons

>>149199483
honestly, i barely remember any gumball/penny moment after The Shell. There was the episode where gumball was more interested in Rob and... I don't remember.

>>149195917
>>149195937
Censorship is stupid since we can find the tweets very easily.

>>149199568
There's the episode where Darwin gets jealous of Penny and Gumball tries to mitigate his anger.
Then there's the episode where's she on item hunt adventure entirely on her perspective.
Then one where she's at a burger joint waiting for her little retard to show up, which takes like eight minutes, entirely on Gumball's perspective. Doesn't really count if you ask me desu.
She breaks up with Gumball in what is basically an alternate reality but she's more like background noise to Rob's plot. Again doesn't really count.
Then there's that episode you mentioned but lmao I forget how much she actually mattered in it.
And then she's used in a futuresight/dream sequence because Gumball can't stop fucking around with Hotdog Guy for like the third time
And then an episode where her parents try to convince her to go back to her shell which just seems kinda odd because this feels like an episode that should have happened right after The Shell. I remember it trying to gaslight me about something how her shell is creepy which I thought was fucking stupid because I'm 99 percent sure that was never mentioned ever in the show prior to this.

>>149199658
Yeah. I'm stupid.

>>149199669
Now i remember. Thanks.

>>149199658
>using twitter
Why would you do that?

>>149199747
What the hell does that have to do with his comment?
You don't even have to be an active user of Twitter to find tweets.

>>149199780
>You don't even have to be an active user of Twitter to find tweets.
I don't care. people shouldn't use it at all.

>>149199831
Are you going to tell me why Twitter talk is bothering you now when it's been discussed in the last three days of this thread?

>>149199669
>she's used in a futuresight/dream sequence because Gumball can't stop fucking around with Hotdog Guy
I hate how older penny looked exactly the same as kid Penny in that "future". Is her design so lame that they can't age it at all?

>>149199976
I think she may be, Right now an Inmortal Faerie.

>>149200004
Being a fairy means nothing in a toon world.

>>149199976
I mean Nicole is just taller Gumball in a dress.
The Banana family are just different sizes of Joe.
Alan's dad is also just slightly bigger and red.
Baby Teri is just a scribble on her massive head.
Tobias and his family are the only people that come to mind with having unique bodies. And so is Penny's despite all of them being peanut shells but then she broke the norm.

>>149200063
We are talking about showing some age progression. At least young Nicole looked a bit different than her older self.

>>149200044
So, everyone is like Bugs Bunny, They will Never Die.

>>149200222
I'm going to play Captain Autismo and say that Penny and Gumball did not have a kid until after they got into their adult years so they got out of their teenaged awkward phase.

>>149199669
This would be hilarious to see.

>>149200277
In my mind, it's like in Tiny Tunes. Popular toons don't age but the forgotten ones get older and disappear.

>>149200303
Cringe

>>149199669
I want Penny to put her old shoes on and tease me with them to tempt me into fucking her feet

>>149200336
Kinda, but if humans want them back, will come back.

>>149200499
Now she looks like Darwin... looks Naked.

>>149201003
She already is naked.

>>149200398
Cringe is the one who say "Cringe"

>>149201105
But now it's more apparent, just like the joke that Darwin looks naked without his shoes, but here it's the other way around.

>>149185839
I want to carry her just like Gumball does.

>the """Gumball""" thread on /v/ is more active than the real thread here
Sad

>>149202627
god yes

I need to bridal carry Penny (while also gripping her ass) as she kisses me and tells me everything will be alright with her and that she loves me

>>149203173
The circle head looks so bad

I really wish Penny and the other girls to be more prominent in the new season but especially Penny. "The shell" was one of my favorite episode and really shows the true unused potential this character has to offer.

>>149184020
And it's done. And he finally drew Gumball!

>>149202754
link?

>>149203264
I hope so, Penny is someone incredibly relevant for Gumball.

>>149203213
At least dosen't look as bad as the Oddly human legs.

Rob will get more focused pennychuds
Its been that way since season 3
Give up

>>149203264
This Dragon Design looks much better, more abstract-looking.

>>149203264
>tfw the episode became relevant again because of the scene Nicole wearing the bathrobe

>>149203368
Well, being the only one who can change everything forever, not bound to the status quo or any cliché or character, a background character without family or history who knows the truth and how the world works.

>>149203403
Rob replaced penny for Gumball in terms of everyday relationship besides Darwin

>>149203417
For Some reason this Role twist exist...
>>149185907

But i rather like a more Yandere Penny.
Like the one of this Crappy fanfic full of Edgy nonsense.
