Look at this picture. Look at it closely. Gumball looks so happy, peaceful and comfy. He is there in a peaceful room, wrapped by a comfortable blanket, being warmed by his mother’s lips. You can feel how much Gumball is enjoying this moment of peace. All the problems seems to have disappeared from his mind. It’s just he and Nicole. You even can feel how much he wants the moment to last forever. There is a deep meaning behind all of this.
Gumball is INSIDE of the room Nicole gave him. He is wrapped by the blanket Nicole gave him. He is enjoying the warmth Nicole’s body is giving him. Everything he has is a gift from Nicole. Everything in that room came from Nicole… even the own Gumball.
All of this is a metaphor. A metaphor of Gumball’s unconscious desire to return to the peaceful coziness of the womb. He was once part of his mother. They both were one. She gave him his own existence, his own identity the day she brought him into the world. He exists because of her. But the human existence isn't easy. The message here is subtle but powerful. Everybody, every single one of us has the unconscious desire to go back, back the past. Back to the primordial state. A state without work and responsibilities. A state without fears and pain. A state where no one is able to hurt us.
We have reached the peak of western cartoons deepness with this scene. Gumball and Nicole's relationship transcends simple narrative logic. It works on visual and deep emotional logic. I dare to say Gumball is the Neon Genesis Evangelion of the western cartoons.
Pugs are gross.
Nah, he was just glad he skipped school.

Another example of how this show works on visual and emotional logic. What is the real meaning behind of the painting of two strange looking white horses? Are they mother and son like Nicole and Gumball? It's a commentary about the how kids leave their parents behind as they grow older? I'm not sure but there’s something beautiful about these horses galloping together. This stuff hits me on a subconscious level

So how much longer until people say Season 3 is good?
The reason why I am asking this is because more people than ever are now saying that Season 2 is good, when in reality people are only saying this as ammunition to shit on Season 5.
>>91848132
People say S2 is good because IS good if not the best. People saying S2 is the best is nothing new. S2-S3 was the peak of the show.
>>91847449
>And he was just helping a balloon.
a sentient balloon that eats, shits and does everything fluid related through the same hole, if he didn't give a blowjob he gave one hell of a rimjob, and you can tell both were aware that wasn't innocent at all.

No. Gumball was aware that it was a weird situation. For Alan was a normal thing.
>>91849249

He fucking ate spaghetti.

I actually prefer season 4 over 3 though. Season 2 is the best all around though.
>>91849365
And excretes air through the same hole
not sure what the whole Gumball Nicole thing /co/ has going on. Is the show really opedipal or something? Cause if it does then it might be the Neon Genesis Evangelion of western cartoons since getting into an EVA is literally getting into your mothers womb. Or is /co/ just being weird with its fetishes again? Cause a mother obsessed with her son not growing up, and he's sorta at the age where he begins to exert his independence, yet still does enjoy her caring at times, is actually pretty funny and actually wouldn't be unheard of in cartoons, like in South Park when Stan's Goldfish killed his mom's Aunt Flow
So is that actually one of the jokes of the show? Nicole doesn't want to cut the cord while Gumball keeps making to cut the cord and yet still can't do it because he actually immature? And /co/ is just doing what it does and making something into its fetish? Or is it just /co/ making something into its fetish cause anon is a weird as fag?
>>91849454
And that is how he expels waste from his body.
>>91849516
It's a joke gone to far.
This is /co/, you have to remember that this board is filled with children and autistic machildren who will run a joke so fucking far that only they will find the joke funny four years later.
>>91840371
"Room" even sounds like "womb!"
>>91849646
Godditt, the joke has gone on so far that the children who started it formed their sexual fetishes around it, and now are manchildren who can only fapp to weird oedipal blue cat shit. The circle of /co/ continues
>>91849516
There is a whole episode about Gumball wanting to be a kid forever
>"I'm allowed to eat candy. It's called baby fat, that's how my momma likes me"
And there is this dialogue from previous episode:
>"Mom, you know how I said I want.. to be my own man.. and make my own decisions? Can I just wait a few years?"
>"The longer the better, honey!"
>>91849516
Well Nicole and Gumball's girlfriend have the same voice...
>>91849646
You're in denial.
>>91845566

>>91849646
Again the messages in Gumball are subtle. Look at Nicole and Richard. Why are they together? Richard is a stunted person. He never growing up. He is too immature to live on his own. His life depends on Nicole in the same way a baby depends on him mother. She gives him whatever he needs and she keeps him calm and comfortable in a safe space without responsibilities. Nicole doesn’t treat Richard as a lover or a husband. She doesn’t even treat him like a friend. She treat him like a son. Richard is with Nicole because he needs a mother but why is Nicole with this stunted person? Nicole is with Richard because he gives her security. She has the control. She wants to be only the adult. The only authority.
The message here is: what men really want is a mother they can have sex with, and women are happy to be this role because it gives them security.

You have to take it deeper than that. You cuck Richard, pleasure Nicole in ways she's always dreamed about, finally get her to leave the fat slob. Get Gumball, Darwin, and Anais to accept.

What is the deep meaning behind of this picture?
>>91900296
Nicole plans to feed her morbidly obese son in the manner of a mother bird, minus the chewing-and-regurgitating part. Any excuse to get their lips to touch, which likely explains Gumball's dramatic weight problem.
>>91900296
>>91900847
To add to my peer's treatise, I would go further to claim that Gumball's morbid obesity as a direct result of Nicole's actions is a statement on the harmful nature of a parental relationship such as this. What Nicole is doing is a nurturing, maternal action in perhaps its most primal and iconic form, that of the mother bird feeding her children pre-chewed form. However it is an action that has been warped, corrupted to Nicole's own selfish ends and as a result this act of nurturing has been bastardized into something harmful to her young.
Furthermore the photograph in the background depicts Nicole's family, visibly shocked. This is most obvious in Richard, but if you look closely Darwin has what is colloquially known as a "thousand yard stare" suggesting having witnessed something traumatizing, while Anais and Nicole herself are cross-eyed, a sign of some confusion or even distress. This is a clear indication not only of the shock and horror her Nicole's family would feel if they discovered this, but of Nicole's own disgust at herself through time. It is not just her actions or role that has been corrupted, but also Nicole herself. Once upon a time, at the taking of the photo, Nicole too would be appalled by her behavior, yet there has been an apparent corruption of her values since.

Every single Gumball moment is deep as fuck. This is beyond Evangelion

Nicole feeding Gumball in general, or the mouth-to-mouth feeding specifically?
This thread. Holy shit.

Synder is the only one who understand Gumball. His saint Nicole is the best version of the character

i really wish that whole Zach thing had gone somewhere because it was gumball being a complete dick but that was actually the joke
>>91907487
They turned Gumball into someone way worse than Zach. The whole thing was pointless.

Yeah but her beating the shit out of people (and occasionally "killing" them) has happened enough to safely say she can take most people in a fight. So sure the demon transformation might be toon force, but her fighting ability isn't.

Huh. I knew Rei was a clone, and a clone of his mother's body, but I didn't know it was Lilith's soul inside.
So, then was Shinji's mom's soul in unit 01's "body"? How is it that Shinji's mom became unit 01?
I think you should probably go outside and get some air
>>91908669
Something something about her doing an hero on an LCL vat that produced the unit 01.
>>91908669
Her body was destroyed in the first human-EVA synchronization test and her soul was absorbed into the Eva's core.

She was pretty much ineffective in the 3 first seasons. The "Nicole is an invincible mary sue" is a S4 thing.

Nicole is a good mum
