I don't have a problem with them being angry in that situation, but depriving them of food & access to water? Really? Their being cruel really hurt that episode. (Gumball being a dick is bad enough on its own; like we need more mean-spiritedness on top of it.)  If I was in their position, all I'd do is scold Gumball & Darwin and threaten to take away their console / ground them for weeks if they don't apologize to Richard right away.

Sigh. I was really looking forward to "The Hero." While it certainly did have its heartwarming moments, characters being mean (or as I like to call it "Gumdickery") really marred my viewing experience. So not looking forward to that episode in reruns.
