User blog comment:ThatGuy456/A Guy's Thoughts: Season 6 - Richard's Rise/@comment-37877191-20190811125913

Your blog made me nod a lot. Richard was, in a word, much better than the other seasons. Season 1 saw the worst of it in my opinion. Episodes like The Laziest, and The Prank turned Richard's personality into a lazy butt. Season 2 was better, it's just he was more ignorant and unable check his surroundings, but still is good hearted, like Christmas, and The Hero (which also had THE WORST of Gumball, but I don't talk about that).

Season 3 had little Richard, but he was a mix of seasons 1 and 2. In episodes like The Pizza, and The Man, season 1 showed more than 2. In more episodes, like The Kids, The Joy, The Puppy, and The Recipe showed Richard to be like or even better than season 2.

Seasons 4 and 5 kept Richard interesting. In The Routine, it showed he and his routine were underrated by his wife and kids, but still got the job done. In The Return, he showed to be very ignorant and unknowing when he lost his kids, but still jacked 3 vehicles and broke one, stole a storage box and crashed through a movie theater and a school (and that is just the worst of it!) just for his kids to get back to school. Season 5 episodes like The Menu, The Cycle, and The Stars as ignorant, rude, and helpless.

When season 6 kicked in, it gave Richard's final personality a good change. The Master had Richard stopping at nothing to get his family back together (in DND, of course), and The Slip showed that being lazy has it's own smarts. Overall, I think that Richard's personality and actions were all undecided, up until season 6. Richard is kind, ignorant, weird, lazy, and optimistic.
