But Richard is even less rational than Gumball, but even he realized what the helmet was doing. It isn't a question of selfishness, it's a question of capability of not letting the helmet get the better of you, Richard may be even less rational, but rationality and dumbness isn't the same as capability of not letting power get the better of you

By the way, in this episode, Gumball is using the helmet only for irrelevant parlour tricks, everyone else uses it for personal gain, who's the greedy ones and who aren't there?

People: Gumball is the protagonist, can we please just either focus on what is good about him or not watch the show and not bring up what is bad about him, I'm sick of arguing back and forth about this now! And the reason why Gumball let the power get a hold of him is because he wanted to use it for himself. That is selfishness. Heck, he even shot tennis balls at his own siblings for the heck of it. And he didn't just want to use it for parlour tricks, he wanted the helmet because he wanted power. And Nicole didn't want it for selfish desires, she wanted it to get promotion so she could get a raise and thus provide more income for the family.

Also, Gumball is in a way like Bart Simpson. Bart may be a little devil but he has a soft spot. The only difference between him and Gumball is that Gumball shows his good side more often. And yes, Bart was suspended, but in the Finale, he apparently had to be sent to kindergarten. Heck, if not for his plot armour, he'd probably be in juvie.

As for The Hero. While I agree that Nicole was a bit harsh, she knew that grounding them wouldn't be enough and because of their naïveté, it would take more effort for them to learn their lessons. Besides, they could have just gone to the shack and apologized to Richard.
