Heh. I'm glad that my post was the first you chose to comment on. While you're still here, I may as well do my buddy Matt a favor and promote his blog spot. Anyways, please enjoy your time here!

On to the comment itself, I do agree that Darwin's strong morality makes him an endearing character. A person who sticks to his beliefs even when the world is against him is respectable, and seeing such a character utilized well is always a treat. It's why I get a kick out of "The Girlfriend", for instance, even though most people tend to dislike it; seeing Darwin stick to his guns even though everything is stacked against him is pretty neat, and it does make for some interesting scenarios. That combined with other traits makes Darwin such so relatable.

I suppose we're dabbling into Matt's and Marvin's earlier discussion. I do think the reason we don't see Darwin do much outside of keeping Gumball in check is because of how often Darwin is around Gumball. The personalities of Gumball and Darwin just lead themselves very well to these kind of interactions, and while, for the most part, I've never had a problem with this, I understand that most people want to see Darwin in other situations that bring light to his other personality traits. The most simple and effective way to handle this is by pairing Darwin up with a character that is very different from Gumball (Carrie, Anais, Banana Joe). As I think I have already said, there's material to work with.

Eh, I don't mind long comments! I love the discussion aspect in writing these. Though, that comment was long enough to be its own blog post. hint hint, nudge, nudge
