I mean, I can at least grasp the logic behind "The Ex," and that's clear the mentality the show is trying to let on; that's where I think it's marginally successful. But the issue is just how much having Gumball loop back around and casting Rob as more benign than sociopathic downplays the entirety of his character's arc up to that point. Now, it's entirely up to Season 6 to redeem his character, though even then, the case for "The Ex" isn't helped all that much so much as it gives it a reason to exist.

It's always interesting reading your input, by the way! But if you think you're controversial... you don't even know the half of it.
