Rob went from being a forgotten background character to a main archenemy to Gumball for leaving him in The Void. All that because Gumball can't pronounce his name right.

I find Rob to be legitimately one of the most unique and interest antagonists I've ever seen in any media. He's the kind of character that cannot exist in any other show, which is astounding. When I was watching this show while airing, I knew of him and I thought "When is this background character going to have an episode" and then he became the MAIN VILLAIN. That will forever hold a special place in my heart. The fact that I followed this character's journey and was almost a part of it.

Exactly! Rob is so fascinating, and I love how they did his development. He, undoubtedly, IS the antagonist, but he’s not a bad person. Rob is a kid, who ultimately goes down a path of insecurity and feeling lost after he’s mutilated beyond anyone’s control and thrown into a world that doesn’t remember or care about him. Really, his only option is to become evil. And yet, in these episodes, we see small moments that make him more humanized. He has mannerisms that make him unique and relatable, and when it comes down to it, Rob is genuinely kind-hearted. That’s a favorite part of this, honestly. Whenever Rob does good things, he still gets punished for it. There’s no reason for him to actually care because the universe will punish him for it regardless… But he still does anyways, because Rob is a kid in a town that he loves and he wants to save people, even if all he’s known as is the scary bad guy. I’m getting way too deep into cartoon characters, but it’s all very profound to me. Rob is one of those characters that you just won’t get anywhere else.
I ABSOLUTELY love Gumball and the ways it's special from other shows, especially the charisma and fourth-wall-breaking

I really think Rob is one if the best cartoon villains ever. He went to a background character that no one talked about then him getting some screen time in The Pony then he evolved into this character that just wants respect. I really hope in The Gumball movie and the new season Rob is in a major part of it
What I always loved about "The Rerun" was that dramatic scene of Gumball screaming at Rob after he temporarily has Darwin (along with Anais) killed. It made me wish there were more serious episodes in the series that are well written and maybe not stories like "The Hero" and "The Inquisition."
The way the creators develop their characters and creations is pretty insane and wonderful. Rob went from a minor background character to a villainous fan favorite and also becoming the first rivalry of Gumball, And Molly and Terry had more major roles and has more speaking lines and screen time than ever and the same goes to some of the each minor characters through the show. Ever since the void started to erupt, They made everyone kinda have a lot of more attention and personality in terms of this. Great video as always! Love the Character Developments in this show

It's incredible how they even make Gumball and Darwin more fleshed out in relationships: Gumball and Darwin aren't simply a "bros against the world and is it" thing: they stand to each other for real, but nor just because they are brothers but because they really care. Same with Anais, Nicole and Richard: they genuinely like themselves in a non-flat way, almost every episode when they appear, they developed theirs relationship, even those who seam not by focusing in other things, like "The Game" Tobias don't have a sister, though. Why you would think he have? I don't know, there's anything about fan fictions like that. Nevermind.
darwin literally DYING in front of gumball who's unable to save him is genuinely disturbing to think about.
The use of the remote as a meta narrative was so well done.
This episode still to this day gave me goosebumps just by seeing how rob literally made it work as a major threat to gumball after ruining his life at first. This is why rob in my opinion, is like the THANOS of the show but in a much controversial way, he reminds me of bill cypher from gravity falls when “( Reality is an illusion, and the universe is a hologram by gold )” this really makes me wonder if the next season will probably pick up after what happened when Rob fell into the Void or it’ll probably be different as a different time twist to be renewed
Gumball has certainly come a long way, hasn’t it? Can’t wait to see what Ben and his crew have in store for season seven. So excited!
I don't think I've ever seen a show take a background character and turn them into a main character like how Gumball does it. I really want to know how the writers came up with this idea. Like was this planned or did it just happen? I also find it ironic how Rob is forgettable in the show, but is a character that every fan knows about and is able to remember
Gumball is incredible stoic sometimes and this is as funny as it can.

Gumball effectively erasing his family begs an interesting philosophical question: Is it better to have your life ruined permanently or erased entirely? What constitutes "better" in this scenario? Is this question a "lesser of two evils" matter?

12:30 What’s interesting is, Darwin didn’t disappear from the timeline like Anais, he just died. If Nicole and Richard never had kids, Darwin would still exist since he was adopted, but he wouldn’t have grown lungs, legs, and arms. Obviously, a fish can’t survive out there, and he dies.
For those who need an anime reference to understand this, this is similar to Might Guy and Kisame's rivalry, where Might Guy never remembered Kisame's name until his glorious death

To answer your question about the time line maybe the universal remote worked differently because the gate was not shut down properly so aspects of the real world came into the void and affected it leading to the reversing of void objects
This is one of Best rivalries that Cartoon Network produced.
Hey, yall, spoilers for the Spanish spin off show for Villainous (an episode that had this): The remote is Flug’s, Rob was trained by the Villainous camp, Gumball and Darwin annoy Flug on a call, and Nicole is working with Black Hat
Fun fact: in the nuisance the wattersons gets a mail to say move to Ohio 💀
"...and all it took was the ability to alter reality" Top 10 quotes of all time.
14:13 - If I had to take a guess, he would either take his past place in THIS episode, or be a "new" character in the background of a past episode, like how Rob was probably witnessing the flashback in "The Nobody" instead of the original events in "The Void". Or who knows, maybe he didn't have the remote with him at the start of the re-run because he wasn't actually holding it, he just pressed the rewind button.
This 2-Parter reminded me of Infinity War and Endgame

I agree about those 2 episodes being epic, my one issue is, if Rob couldn’t use the remote to send Gumball into the Void because the batteries were dead, how did Gumball use said remote to rewind time if no one replaced the batteries? Did the Void itself recharge them? I’m both curious and confused
we reached levels of meta not thought possible
I like the Amazing World of gumball but i wish they can create a movie
And a happy blue year 💙 see you on the other side gumball.
"All it took, was the ability to alter reality" Only that, wow, so easy
The ridiculous thing is The Awesome Store gets all its stuff from The Black Hat Organisation so they can't exactly say it's not meant to be used for Evil.
Yo Rob VS Mr. Nobody, that'd be insane.
I always looked forward for the time that the awesome store guy left his van and then the show ended with the inquisition
14:17 the boom on a different time line so using the remote will work in the void out of the void same Thing it can rewind time in the void same for out
Does there have to be a finale I enjoy hearing you talk about gumball
