 * Why is the ending clifhanger!?

It's not a cliffhanger. It's a nihilistic ending where everything grinds to a halt as the show ceases to exist.


 * What was the banana barbara picture?

Probably Gumball and family running away from a crumbling reality around the same time as Rob was falling into the void.


 * Gumball's relationship with Rob? They made up in one episode and were enemies again in another after time was reversed.

Relevance?


 * Why did Tina interfere? It made me angry and was unfunny.

Relevance?

 * TAWOG didn't have a happy ending.

Since when does every story need a happy ending?


 * 

Just because Ben didn't necessarily want to end the show like that doesn't mean there was somebody else pulling the strings. At the end of the day, it was a team effort, and Ben, et al. were ultimately in control of the episode. Just because they didn't *want* to end it that way doesn't mean they were *forced* to. They probably just decided that it was the best idea they had at the time. And I'm all for it.


 * Is happy ending bad?

No, and neither is a nihilistic, hopeless, tragic or abrupt ending. If every ending is happy then stories become predictable. Sometimes you have to shake things up. Sometimes, it's valid to question whether you should give the audience what they want or what they need. Based on your argument, I get the sense that you would hate shows like Bojack Horseman. And let me tell you--you're missing out.
