The Pony is such a fun episode and I totally forgot that The Hero was after it, and it's such an emotional episode that I love the irony of releasing it after The Pony

From my time, Pony gets paired before Storm, and Hero before Photo.

Rob has appeared a couple times in S1 like Party or Fight but was animated in CG instead of 2D here.

2:13 Rob has been seen in the background in season 1 3:42 Like almost everyone notice the father is angry for some reason 5:58 Ralph? So they said his name wrong three times. That's why Rob threw the DVD.

Don't comment crap like this it's spoilers idc if perhaps they are passed it. Others might not know about this. I'm sick of idiots like you who spoil or who are just too stupid to realize that what they said is in of itself a spoiler.

The Hero sorta rubs me the wrong way. Are Gumball and Darwin really in the wrong for saying their dad is embarrassing and incompetent? Because he sorta is. It's even more egregious that Nicole and Anais are angry at Gumball and Darwin since they also make fun of Richard too

What they are in the wrong for is not appreciating their father, whos always there for them -_-.

As the KZbinr "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 contradict a certain type of emotion or 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 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 the episode itself wants to. More in 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 weren't portrayed 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 - they 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 well if the pacing was better. (...) It's such a shame because Richard's song 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 really 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, say for Richard and Darwin. I explained earlier how horrible Nicole was, and I should also mention that Anais' role, while comparably smaller, 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 BS, but no, I'm not standing by your BS either. I'm not standing BS from ANYONE 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 surgical attention to detail to leave 3/5ths of your main cast as bastardizations of who they are and render them detestable. (...) 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, 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!"

Same here. I love TAWOG but The Hero is my least favorite ep out of the series. It had a great premise for a plot but it was horribly executed. Most of the Wattersons are just too unlikeable and so out-of-character for the sake of creating a contrived conflict. I would've preferred if Nicole gave Gumball and Darwin a heart-to-heart talk that would've set them on a journey to appreciate their father. Instead, they made Nicole and Anais hypocrites (they literally make fun of Richard too) while also making Gumball more bratty than usual. I can't even appreciate the wholesome ending cuz the events that led to it are just too unpleasant to watch. The only saving grace in this ep was the song.

They made fun of their dad to their friends. Nicole and Anais keep it in the family. That's the difference

The Hero has one of the best original songs of the series, but its one of the worst episodes. It's completely uncharacteristic for GUmball to act the way he did in the episode, given what the previous episodes outlined as his personality towards his father. He knows he's dumb and he embraced it, here he was an unapologetic prick.

Sometimes kids have very drastic changes in personality One day they could be really friendly, the next they could be a sarcastic idiot. Like Gumball was in this episode.

How was he a prick? He legit had no reason to apologize, him and Darwin told the truth about their dad so why would they feel the need to apologize?
