Talk:The Shell/@comment-4853260-20151116023530

Here's a copypasta of an entry from the show's DethroningMoment page on TVTropes.

"I used to think that The Amazing World of Gumball was one of the better Cartoon Network shows in recent years. All that changed when I saw "The Shell", as it was the episode that got me to stop watching the series altogether. Now, I know a lot of people love the episode and the idea of Penny being a shape-shifting spirit under her shell, but I am not one of those people. I would have been fine with this episode and continued to watch the series if Penny were a deer under her shell, the way so many fan artists depicted her as, or even if the episode ended on the status quo of Penny putting on a new shell identical to her old one because the world can't see her the way Gumball does, but since the episode ended on Penny deciding to keep her new form, and this new form is kept in later episodes, I can honestly say I will not be watching Gumball again anytime soon." - user:FlyingDuckManGenesis

Wow, talk about shallow and ignorant. I personally am a fan of Penny's true form, and I don't mind other people not having the same opinion as me. And this episode is easily one of my top 3 in the series.

But in regards to this entry on TVTropes, to give up on a show entirely because one measly aspect did not go your way? Not because of the episode itself, but because of one mere detail? Yeah, it was fun to speculate what was under the shell, but really? Are we just going to ignore the fact that Ben Bocquelet had a very specific vision for this way before this episode aired? Are we just going to ignore the episode's other merits?

My goodness, some of these fans can get so pathetic.
