The Amazing World of Gumball

For reference, here are the initial and final hearings Coats brought to the London Employment Tribunal.

Coats' case was dismissed, but that doesn't prove much. (I'm still reading it myself.)

The last episode has just been announced.

The name is "The Inquisition", and the synopsis is:

School Superintendent Evil is coming to Elmore Junior High to stamp out all cartoonish conduct!

This image is presumably from the episode, as it shows Bobert as a human.

Dear YHVH how horrifying.

We're reaching the end of an era already?

Nooo...

At least it's ending more or less because the staff wanted it to, and the studio is finally making a second full show.

> We're reaching the end of an era already?

Its run has been as long as Adventure Time's,so it's had no shortage of episodes

Well, I watched much (but not all, yet) of the episodes.

For some reason, that I find a bit difficult to explain, my favorite season was the first one.

Pardon me, but Adventure Time ran from April 5, 2010 to September 3, 2018 (almost 8 years and five months!) across ten (or nine in production order, of what I've heard) seasons and 283 episodes (including the Minecraft episode). Gumball ran for eight years and 240 episodes. Not quite as Adventure Time, but I get your point.

Did you count the hiatuses?

Yes.

What was the reason to be pedantic if you got the point?

It's odd that of all the cartoons that debuted between 2010-2015, most of them (aside from We Bare Bears, Steven Universe, and Teen Titans Go) are either ended or about to end (Gumball, My Little Pony).

What's odd about that?

Is it just giving you some type of feelings?

It's kind of the same feeling when a lot of the cartoons that were were started in the late 90's and 2000's ended.

Got to see a new batch of eps, so...

• The Agent: Cool parody spy/mystery story. It's also nice to have an episode where Bobert is cool and not psycho for once.
• The Factory: I like episodes where Gumball is really brilliant when it comes to doing stupid things. And the then the second half is somehow hilariously depressing. Also, one of the most legit tense climaxes in the series. But then, on the other hand...
• The Future: Holy fuck.

Apparently, the final episode has him flossing. I am not making this up. I've only seen a clip of it though, I haven't seen the final episodes. I will soon, though.

For the uninformed, the last episodes are already available on-demand.

The finale is a cliffhanger, because the crew apparently decided the Void plotline could only be properly finished with a movie.

What.

That's what they get for already having an episode titled "The Finale"!

Banana mom always right.

It's worth noting though that there is only one clue in the show left to prove that it isn't over. It makes sense there would be a movie after what happened in The Inquisition.

The painting from The Oracle Banana Barbara made, the painting she did at the end of The Future was the actual ending of The Inquisition.

If we're getting a full-length movie, can it be from Warner Animation Group? Or is Gumball so niche, that we should just expect a TV movie?

And can this hypothetical movie be called The Amazing Movie of Gumball? It'd make up for Regular Show not calling its movie Regular Movie...

Though CN clearly considers Gumball a valuable franchise (it's still rerun quite regularly), a TV movie would be far more likely. The only theatrical movies of Cartoon Network shows are The Powerpuff Girls Movie and Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, the latter of which is based on a existing IP.

Either way, it would be a bizarre decision to make a movie with an entirely different studio (especially since Gumball is produced on a different continent than Warner Brothers Animation). All of Cartoon Network's movies were by the same studios that made the show they were based on, even the aforementioned two that were released in theaters.

& The Warner Animation Group is a separate entity from Warner Bros. Animation, unlike its predecessor Warner Bros. Feature Animation. For some reason... But yeah, if a movie is really made, I would like to see it.

And I just saw "The Inquisition". All can I say is wow. Just wow.

Eight years, and it proved to be one of the best Cartoon Network shows ever made. It made me laugh, it made me awe.

Remember this bit from "The Cringe"?

It features a Flash Forward that shows Penny and Gumball's wedding and then Babies Ever After.

This proves that Gumball will get a happy ending eventually, so even if this movie is never made, things will work out for Gumball eventually.

I just thought that was a cutaway joke to emphasize the ridiculousness of the situation.
