    I actually think that the fact that we don't actually see Rob's escape as told in The Nobody makes sense. Those actions are explained to us through Rob's flashback, in HIS perspective. Meanwhile, in this episode, we're only seeing things through Gumball and Darwin's perspective. He's so forgettable that they don't notice him calling out for them or clinging onto the van to escape. He's so forgettable that WE don't even notice any of that happening, and we have to be told directly by Rob himself that it happened. Maybe the void has more power than we initially thought...

      This lend to a theory I have, it called the power of perpective, since the camera focus on gumball and Darwin or anybody who played a role in the show, somehow are able to miniplate the physical laws, we see it were gumball wanted to go super sian but wanst able till much later were he did in a brief comedic scene, the reason why was because Darwin didn't belive he could do it were later Darwin wasn't caring to much, it is why people disappeared simply because there is nothing to be engrain in the memory, why is it that only gumball and Darwin were able to find molly? Simple because they know her, for rob he never had an episode or any introduction to flesh out a unique character to the main cast, the downside is that they were not aware of it as there memories keep on getting erased or they forgot.

    I like to imagine that the creators of the show where originally going to explain why some certain or other characters don't appear in the latest seasons anymore like in a regular interview, but then they just decided to go follow the "Theres-Another-Hidden-World" principle. It's makes it even better that the Void is literally another 4th wall break recipe considering the Show's unique style of showing how they break the 4th wall in a funny and cool way. I like that!

    6:08 This isn't just one of the best moments in the episode if you ask me; it's one of Gumball's strongest moments as a character in the series. He doesn't remember who Molly was, but he's still distraught because he knew she was someone they USED to care about, and that whatever happened to her was just plain wrong.

    Think about how weirdly heartwarming it is that Gumball and Darwin tried to help Molly tell better, more interesting stories in "The Stories" just to keep her from being sent back to the void, even though they don't entirely remember it, like yes Gumball was sent to the void in "The Disaster/The Re-Run" and they do remember it kind of because of Rob in "The Nobody", but they don't even really care that much about Molly and they still took time out of their lives to help her. (Granted it was because they didn't want to hear her boring stories and because they knew if she did get sent back to the void, they'd probably have to help her again, and wanted to avoid that whole ordeal but still kind of nice).

    The Void is one of the most lore-heavy episodes of tawog I've ever seen before Season 4. That's what started, so to speak, Rob's villainous character development arc as seen in The Nobody episodes later. That's why it's one of my favorites, alongside the episode "The Name", where, in that episode, it's revealed that Gumball's birth name was Zach (or Zack? Idk. L😅L.), and that name gave him an alternate ego that attempts to erase Gumball's old memories from the first two seasons. That episode, in of itself, is wild.

All the paintings she has made have been shown in an episode one way or another EXCEPT this specific painting. I have a feeling this will come into major play some way during the movie.

    And he did. And he's not only a good but a FANTASTIC villain. And that made me happy.
    Some suggestions I have are The Master (Just having the whole family bounce off eachother really well) The Shell (My personal favorite, as it really speaks to me as a person) The Oracle (one of the most suspenseful and interesting episodes of the show that sets up The Future) and The Tape(Just absolutely hilarious)

    I think the reason we didn't see Rob move was because gumball has some link to the void but the void itself has control over him, what he sees and what Audience sees, it's like essentially cartoon network considering we see three regular show references such as the mullet, jorts, and laser disc. In this case molly was the character written out of the show and Rob was just the background character cameo in our and gumball's' perspective but what the background character's thought us in gumball was to always pay attention a little more or you might miss it

    The fact that the producers hated *[REDACTED]* so much that she doesn't even appear in the special dimension where all the rejected characters end up.
    I refuse to believe the she went to college explanation, they had 5 seasons to reference that yet no mention in canon, despite how meta the show is. It would really be meta if she appears as a special good guy/bad guy character in the movie though.

  • @jujufoxie.-.
    @jujufoxie.-. ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I have a thought about the void:
    In this episode, we see Molly frozen in time in her tree house, but when we see Rob in the background, he wasn't frozen in time like Molly. I think that since Molly was put in the void earlier than Rob, she slowly froze in time. But what if objects in the void slowly start disappearing after being frozen in time? This could make the void a bigger threat.
    When Elmore was classified as a mistake now, being in the void wouldn't be much different if people didn't freeze in time. But the void would be more dangerous if it would make everyone just slowly stop moving and slowly disappear.
    Just a thought ._.

    The seam in context of collective memory reminds me of a book I read recently in which, at the end, the main characters basically erased one of the characters from collective memory, making sure there is no documentation of their existance while smuggling them from antarctica to america to protect them from a life of press conferences. Even if nobody but the 4 people running the cover-up know of them, they still have an impact that cannot be removed and they still exist - as seen with the pictures and the seam.

      I'm glad they did not just throw Rachel in the Void. Still bit of a shame though that they ditched her. Aside from being mean at the first half of The Party, I actually felt sorry when she exclaimed none of her friends showed up and everyone trashing her parents house. Plus her being very nice and giving a well meant complement to Darwin for cleaning up.
      I gues they just couldn't think of anything interesting to write for her.
      It becomes more jarring when you think about how toxic her dad Harold becomes, making me wish he got cut out instead.

      Example: a woman who said she always felt like she was looking for an extra kid. Sort of like in the group picture with Molly, (my analogy not hers) she looked at her family or was getting them ready to go and felt someone was missing.

    the creepiest thing about the void is the fact that it seems to be living and sentient, although an environment. it purposely erases the memories of the people who witness it, so so far Gumball, Darwin, Small, even its own victim, Molly, so they can never know about its existence and never know that it is destined to grow farther to the point it’ll swallow their world. Gumball even ended up in the void again in the disaster/the re-run, and even after that it seems like he still doesn’t remember about it. Honestly I want to know why Rob specifically is the only self aware character that knows about its existence and purpose.
