YMMV / The Amazing World Of Gumball S 4 E 21 The Girlfriend

• Critical Dissonance: For a long time, this episode was touted as the worst episode in the series, to the point many fans invoke Fanon Discontinuity and being a major contributing factor in Jamie being a divisive character. In the years since it first aired however, while not a liked episode, its more seen as So Okay, It's Average, with the claims it was teaching a horrible aesop about being quiet and sticking through an abusive relationship being refuted as called out In-Universe as not working, and really Darwin being too stubborn to do anything compared to Gumball's more justified horror at Jamie's behavior, the episode even siding with Gumball by his behavior being what causes Jamie to realize her behavior, with Darwin meanwhile getting beat up by Jamie for his idea coming across as Condescending Compassion. Nowadays, rather than reviled, its more seen as a wasted opportunity by not involving Nicole or Penny in the episode, or an overhated mediocre episode.
• Fanon Discontinuity: This episode is regarded as the worst episode of the whole series by many fans due to its questionable Aesop that you have to submit to an abusive relationship no matter what as well as Jamie not getting any sort of punishment for terrorizing the students. As such, fans prefer to think that this episode never existed.
