@Matt I suppose you're right to a degree. Interestingly, when talking with /u/jowijo from the sub-reddit, he mentioned how he respected "The Origins" because of how it emphasized another trait of Darwin's, making him more of an independent character from Gumball (while simultaneously making him more dependent on him. Huh). I believe the writers could write an episode where Darwin's moral compass takes a side step, but they would need to have him interacting with another character who isn't as much as loose cannon as Gumball. There's Anais, Carrie, perhaps even Joe; there's material to work with. However, as it stands, given how the writers want Gumball to do even crazier things as the series progresses, I only see his moral compass becoming even more emphasized.

@Marvin Darwin's childish outlook on the world could also factor into his general sense of optimism, and said optimism has made some great episodes. "The Wicked" and "The Ollie" come into mind, particularly (although, with "The Ollie", it's more childish gullibility rather than optimism). I suppose another episode playing around with that could be fun.

Oh, they're actually taking the biological parents thing seriously.
