I naturally never cry at sad episodes, but this one only *nearly* got me to that level. 😅😢 Honestly, despite the backlash this episode faces, I agree with everyone else that this one’s a *huge* tearjerker.
Kinda funny nicole has to punish gumball by depriving the things she provides to the household, and not richards. Gumball didn't say anything bad about Nicole, he thinks she is the best mom(in the mothers).
That *infamous* episode is the reason I should prefer Season 1 more than Season 2, due to Gumball and Darwin themselves having cute and kind-hearted personalities.
I'm very mixed on this episode, and I really don't like it all that much. On one hand, I get what it was trying to do, and it had some heartfelt moments, and the song was great. but on the other hand, Nicole and Anais were Hypocrites. Gumball was a giant douchebag, and aside from Darwin and Richard, no one was likable in this episode. So, to me, it's just an infuriating mess.
i have mixed feelings toward this episode. Richard's song is one of the most emotional moments in the show. but also Nicole Anais and Gumball were so unlikable in this episode
As the TH-camr "The One & Only C. R. Martin" put it: "The Hero is what happens when you easily think you can sweep your transgressions under the rug and not bear the full brunt of the consequences. This is what happens when you try to contrive a certain type of emotion in your storytelling but only wind up digging a deeper hole for yourself. This is what happens when you degrade the integrity of the characters and betray their very defining foundation during said emotional contrivance. (...) For that reason, it angers me that the Wattersons, who love and look out for each other, dysfunctions, disagreements, and all, fall apart the worst way they did in this episode. The scene of Nicole and Anais lambasting Gumball and Darwin for a transgression that *they* themselves are guilty of and Nicole's disproportionate punishment of her sons will forever be associated with this episode in the worst possible way! It's so contradictory up to her general portrayal up to that point that you can't overlook it no matter how hard you try, and no matter how much the episode itself wants to. More on that, on a similar note, I wouldn't be making such a big deal out of Nicole and Anais' role in the episode if it weren't this impactful. I wouldn't be making such a big deal of parental neglect, and child abuse wasn't portrayed this realistically. (...) I especially wouldn't be making such a big deal if the episode treated these common place issue with a diligence they deserved, but that's just it - it didn't! Instead, it had to make way for a *sappy* emotional crutch that - on its own - is actually put together well, and *would've* worked better if the *pacing* was better. Or, you know, if the entire *episode* was *better!* It's such a shame. Richard's song in the middle of the episode is legitimately nice. With the soft melody from the piano, Dan Russell's gentle vocals, and the framing of the scene all encapsulating Richard's inadequacies as a father. But does The Hero deserve it? Oh, fuck no! Not with the episode's sudden escalation and the song's actual placement being immediately after the unquestionably worst moment of the whole series - among the other flaws of the episode. No fucking way! What's even sadder about this episode is that no one here except for Richard is likable. Well, that's not entirely true, but it's hard to root for any of the characters; save for Richard and Darwin. I explained earlier how horrible Nicole was, and I should also mention that Anais' role, while comparably smaller than Nicole's, still contributes to the toxic tone. Darwin skirts the fine line between liked and hated due to being the usual second fiddle to his brother, yet redeeming himself half-way by taking agency and attempting to make reparations. But Gumball...oh my God, GUMBALL! What the fuck is wrong with you kid?! What in the world happened to you that made you such a prideful obnoxious and dislikable runt?! I wanted to be on your side because you didn't deserve your mother's bullshit, but no, I'm not standing by your bullshit either. I'm not standing by bullshit from ANY one of you! Even though Gumball raised some very valid points about Richard, I really can't abide his behavior in the latter half, which just ruins any chance for sympathy he had. ...Because it's not enough to be saved from instant death, right? You gotta be saved the *right* way, too. (...) And no, episode, you don't deserve that ending either. Fuck you! It has to take a surgical attention to detail to leave 3/5ths of your main cast as bastardizations of who they are and render them detestable. But The Hero accomplished just that, and the series can fill in the blanks and answer all the important questions and credit where credit is due to Ben later on, but the scars of episodes such as this will never go away. The unpleasantness they've ungendered will always remain there, as much as the series rectifies itself, and The Hero will always be regarded for what it is: a black mark on an otherwise phenomenal series. With likable characters hard to come by, a total betrayal of what's been set in stone, a contrivance of emotions without justification or any worthwhile payoff, and an overarching toxicity and hypocrisy, all in clumsily paced 11-minute ordeal that can leave impressionable young audiences with terrifying prospects; The Hero is without a doubt the *worst* of The Amazing World of Gumball. Absolutely *disgusting!"*
I don't like this episode not because of Gumball but because of Anaïs and Nicole I don't understand why they were so angry. For me Gumball is right Richard is lazy and incompetent and that was always the joke
ok first off why was Richard sad because Gumball called him stupid? He is stupid himself! And not to mention.. WHY ARE NICOLE AND ANAIS ANGRY AT GUMBALL AND DARWIN?! THEY MADE A VALID POINT ABOUT RICHARD! AND NO THEY’RE NOT REALLY MEAN TO HIM.. this is so stupid..
Can't you see he said that about his own father? That's so dumb! Nicole and Anais were so disappointed in Gumball and Darwin for offending him. THINK BEFORE YOU COMMENT!
Idk to be honest personally I found everyone in this episode to be kinda annoying but there is an episode later in this season I dislike more and found more annoying
Honestly i never liked the ep bc it was one of the richard is a good dad ep but most of the time he is a jerk or lazy unless the show what him to be a good dad and even then there ep of richard being a good father barely maked sanse to and i know gumball was a jerk but he have every right he have a horrible father who i can name things that are bad about him
Richard isn’t a jerk. He’s just incompetent. He deeply cares about them. Gumball throughout this whole episode treated richard like dirtbag even during a life and death situation despite in episodes like ‘the goons’, ‘Christmas’ and ‘The refund’.
What the hell reactuna no this episode sucked i don't know how your defined this episode but i disagree with you i hate the hero gumball and darwin did not deserve all of that i felt bad for then unlike you you just laughed yes i did feld bad for Richard but at least feld bad for him a little bit and fuck Nicholas and anise there where bad in this episode why treat then like that can shower can't eat if my parents did that to me i won't talk to thenn for a month please don't do that again

This is one of the most saddest episodes I've cried. Richard singing "My little ones" touched my heart
🎵🎵🎵😿😿😿😭😭😭
I know right 🎵🎵🎵🎵😿😿😿😿
@@danielramos6325 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😿😿😿😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Why is Gumball is so evil to Richard, Daniel?!?! Why?!?! Plz tell me!!
An emotional episode... 🥺
This episode shows you to love both of your parents and never compare them...
I know right 😭😭
What if one of your parents leaves you and you end up with a step parent?
Richard is like Hugh Neutron
He might not have the strongest mind, but his heart is in the right place
1:53 My favorite Richard moment. 😅
Yeah
I naturally never cry at sad episodes, but this one only *nearly* got me to that level. 😅😢
Honestly, despite the backlash this episode faces, I agree with everyone else that this one’s a *huge* tearjerker.
13:57 Richard Dad: I'm coming to save you!!!!
Awesome video again Tuna loved it so much 😄
Not gonna lie, Gumball was kind of a jerk for most of this episode…
So basically most episodes?
@@jeremyABC123keyword: *most*
Last I checked that was his whole character, and I love it
@@Nyan_Temmie I definitely see that too, it was just way more noticeable in this one e for me…
@@McMiner3244 yeah, you’re right
I can only image how he looked like without the fish filter.
This was one of the best Epsiode of the whole series
What do you mean. That's a real fish.
@reactuna, that’s is one saddest episode in history in season two of gumball, man! 😢
This episode, every Father's Day...
I know right
The crying and sniffing from tuna was funny😂
Kinda funny nicole has to punish gumball by depriving the things she provides to the household, and not richards.
Gumball didn't say anything bad about Nicole, he thinks she is the best mom(in the mothers).
That *infamous* episode is the reason I should prefer Season 1 more than Season 2, due to Gumball and Darwin themselves having cute and kind-hearted personalities.
Actually, this is where nicole and anais being antagonist.
Can you blame them though?
Well gumball is also antagonist also cus he refused to apologize to his dad and was berating him when he was trying to save them
antagonists, they’re misandrists in that episode
When I saw that episode it made me cry too. 😢
Tuna has the same thumbnail face he had on the thumbnail in The Sign from Bluey
Ladies and Gentlemen I represent you the most saddest gumball episode
There's an even sadder episode yet to come later in the series. And that's called The Origins: Part Two
Oh my god I just finished listening to the song My Little Ones before coming to this.
Enjoyable, but super sad and touching.😿😿😢😢
ANOTHER VIDEO TUNA CRY
I know right 😢😢😢😢
@@danielramos6325 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@E.B.M Yes 😢
But he was always like that...
I'm aware, but not to his father like that. Compared to Season 1, he loves his goofy dad. 🐟🐟
this episode is where nicole and anais became anti-feminist, child abuse and toxic parenting IS NOT FEMINISM
I'm very mixed on this episode, and I really don't like it all that much.

Nicole and anais were the main antagonists on this episode.
8:15 hmmm... I can only think of one stand so i assume its made in heaven right?
yo it's like this episode, gumball is in his teenager phase bruh
No he’s a preteen he’s 12.
The hero is very sad😢
i have mixed feelings toward this episode. Richard's song is one of the most emotional moments in the show. but also Nicole Anais and Gumball were so unlikable in this episode
It's because the creator decide to make them antagonist characters. For once.

i didnt know that buttons can be magnetic. also PLEASE HAVE SOME MANNERS GUMBALL
I don't like this episode not because of Gumball but because of Anaïs and Nicole I don't understand why they were so angry. For me Gumball is right Richard is lazy and incompetent and that was always the joke
Cause this is their first antagonist role.
It's all for conedy's sake, Gumball wasn't out of character at all
@reactuna, don’t make us cry! 😢😢😢😢
ok first off why was Richard sad because Gumball called him stupid? He is stupid himself!
And not to mention.. WHY ARE NICOLE AND ANAIS ANGRY AT GUMBALL AND DARWIN?! THEY MADE A VALID POINT ABOUT RICHARD! AND NO THEY’RE NOT REALLY MEAN TO HIM..
this is so stupid..
Can't you see he said that about his own father? That's so dumb! Nicole and Anais were so disappointed in Gumball and Darwin for offending him. THINK BEFORE YOU COMMENT!
Also! Gumball is spoiled to Richard in this episode, so don't complain.
After the 9/11
I HATE This episode with a passion (not only because of how sad this is, but the food part always scares me, Especially the 🥩)
Darwin is best brother for Gumball right Reactuna
He’s basically the conscience
These episodes make me ugly cry
Gumball is the worst in The Hero
I gotta ask like how or where did gumball learn those manners bro? I think this is the only episode why we hate gumball, am i right or wrong?
I know right
Nicole and anais are the antagonist.
I think this is the only episode where I hate gumball

Am I the only one who was annoyed and hated how Nicole and Anais acted in this episode?
Yeah
Me
I think the creator do that on purpose. To test if they got much love from fans, then how much hate they get. Still need worst episode though.
Since they both now have antagonist role.
Nope, I am too
What the hell reactuna no this episode sucked i don't know how your defined this episode but i disagree with you i hate the hero gumball and darwin did not deserve all of that i felt bad for then unlike you you just laughed yes i did feld bad for Richard but at least feld bad for him a little bit and fuck Nicholas and anise there where bad in this episode why treat then like that can shower can't eat if my parents did that to me i won't talk to thenn for a month please don't do that again
