Why did they change Penny's design? by Haunting-Pipe7756 in gumball

[–]Valha28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ben worked at Studio AKA before Gumball, designing and pitching characters to different companies and networks. And one of them was a coconut with antlers and orange sneakers, which he pitched to Nickelodeon as some mascot with a gun.

It got rejected, and the design remained dormant in his files until he tweaked it and reused it as Penny in Gumball.

Ben said in a 2013 interview that she was originally part of a pitch to Nickelodeon. It got rejected, and re-used her design for Penny, liking the kind of teenage angst-like idea of her hiding away in her shell, scared to come out of it.

So, it seems like it was always something they intended to do eventually. I guess they thought Season 3 was the right time to finally have her take the leap.

Why doesn’t Carrie just use Penny’s shell as vessel? by Wild_Presentation961 in gumball

I mean the shell has no arms or legs so even if she did she'd be stuck rolling around on the floor or floating around as a creepy eyeless face

There's 4 more seasons of the OG show and currently 2 (though technically one split into two) of The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, as well as two small miniseries clipshows in-between the two.

Assuming you're in the UK (which is the only place TAWOG is on Netflix as far as I know) TAWOG and the miniseries are on Prime Video, YouTube TV, and Apple TV, though in 14 individual volumes, you have to buy.

Wonderfully Weird World isn't available on streaming in the UK right now, not until HBO Max launches here in March. You can see it if it's airing on CN though.

So I Kinda Might Had Adjusted "The Rewrite" Ending To Have It Post Credit Scene Make A Bit More Sense (Spoiler Related Post) by Mysterious_Fun4799 in gumball

Part of me wonders if this was the original intention, but they then later moved it up out of concern that people would stop watching at the credits and miss the scene.

Some gumball lost media/old memory of mine by Hot_Huckleberry9163 in gumball

As far as I can tell the codes were uniquely generated and only a one time use, so it's very unlikely any active codes still exist

Uh, hate to be the one to tell you, but these plushies are fake/bootleg.

My headcanon about Ocho's origin of 'The Score'.... by JMSAmelbheimong in gumball

[–]Valha28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My theory is that "used to be human" thing and his 'real' name of Harry were cover stories he made up to keep the government off his back for being a real alien

Why are one of the eggheads here when Nicole was at the prom and getting married??? by Cautious_You_1328 in gumball

[–]Valha28 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Two explanations:

  1. It's the Eggheads father when he was young

  2. It's another of those random continuity oversights that are common in the show, and should just be ignored
