User blog:Mario&LuigiBowser'sInsideStory/The worst of season 1

Back in May of 2011, the show we all love began airing it's first episodes. But season 1 has been known for the worst episode of the series. And I agree on that. From thing ranging from bad animation to weak humor, I'll give you my 2 cents on why season 1 wasn't the best.

Episode quality
I can recall very few good episodes from season 1. The DVD is one of them, also being the series' first episode. But I'll give you some of the bad episodes for reference.

The Goons
This has to be the dumbest episode the series had to offer. Not only being the dumbest season 1 episode. I guess the only good part is when Gumball and Anais made up at the end of the episode and hugged.

The Laziest
This episode exemplifies how much of a jerk Richard was in season 1. The worst part was when Gumball and Darwin get scolded by Nicole for "being lazy" while Richard does all the work vacuuming and stuff, which he clearly didn't do throughout the episode. Why? Just, why? Richard is then told by Nicole that he has to do nothing else while Gumball and Darwin do the chores Richard was told to do at the beginning of the episode.



The Spoon
This episode exemplifies how gullible Gumball and Darwin were. First, they're told by Richard to get a present for Nicole, which he failed to do, from a gas station. But things take a twist at the gas station. When the store is being robbed, the robber lies to Gumball and Darwin, saying he is a charity man and that he wants them to collect things for the bald people charity. That's how gullible they were. But a good point comes in when Gumball and Darwin see the rest of his family at the gas station, which they were there to retrieve them after Richard unwisely asks them to go to the gas station at night, tied up by the robber. They finally realize they were helping a robber and they try to escape from him. Which Nicole ends up getting arrested at the end of the episode. But is also released later on.



The Responsible
Now, to me, this was actually a good episode. I'm just throwing it in here for the purpose of the blog. While I do admit that Anais is one of my favorite characters, she's just too superior in season 1. This episode greatly exemplifies that. She literally was able to lock Gumball and Darwin out of the house. But the synopsis for the episode is that Gumball and Darwin are left in charge of babysitting while Nicole and Richard are away. Simple enough.



There's more episodes I can add to this blog. But I can't think of a summary for each episode. Now let's move on to character development (I will only be doing Wattersons).

Gumball
Gumball, as far as I can remember, wasn't the best in season 1. Now, not in every episode he was dumb. But I can remember him being dumb in quite a few episodes.

Darwin
Like Gumball, Darwin wasn't the best either. He was just like Gumball. Dumb.

Anais
Anais, to me, was just too superior in season 1. I like here as a character, but in season 1, I just feel like she's too much.

Nicole
I can't say I have much to complain about Nicole, but she's just like Anais. Too superior.

Richard
Richard, to me, was just a jerk in season 1.

Animation
The animation wasn't too bad. Unless you haven't watched any of the later seasons that is. Looking at how the animation is today, I never want it to go back like it was in season 1. For example, how the eyes on the Wattersons changed from oval to round. Since that change, I always liked them that way. The animation today also makes me not want to reminisce on the bad quality of season 1.

Humor
The humor is pretty weak in season 1. Mainly being mixed with imbalanced amounts of wisdom and complete idiocy, it's not even funny most of the time.

Conclusion
Well, this is as much as I can think of on why season 1 wasn't the best. Please give me your suggestions on why you think season 1 wasn't the best. Just so you don't have to scroll back up to get to the article comments link, I will leave it, [ here].
