  • Cartoon Network really created something special here with this Amazing World of Gumball episode. When it comes to mockbuster-like animation, it is uncommon to see an American corporation acknowledge it through a piece of media, especially one meant for kids. The Copycats

    Yes, Anais not being in the show is a reference to the two child policy. Also, they tend to value boys quite a bit more than girls over there to the degree that they...'cancel' the baby when they find out it's a girl. The translation strongly hints at that.

    • @RegularInvader
      @RegularInvader Před 6 měsíci +36

      The really sad thing is that Anais is legally the second child while Darwin is the family pet that came along before her arrival. It's just a coincidence that he happens to walk and talk like another child. Having him in the knock off was no big deal at the time it was created because the creator was well aware that he's the companion of an only child. Technically Anais could have gotten a copycat but the creator took advantage of the two child policy to change Darwin's copycat from "family pet" to "adopted son." This was an excuse to portray 2 "official" sons in the knockoff.

      Now that I see it, I'm actually quite shocked the creator of the rip-off missed such an opportunity of swapping genders for the second child. Anais could have gotten a male version copycat if the ripoff had kept Darwin's copycat as the family pet.😮 There would have been a knowledgeable little brother for Gumball's copycat if the creator had thought it through.🤔

I mean, all I can think when I watch that scene is, "Well, they deserved it, man. You can't say they didn't.

    Gumball's copy being a goat completely misses the point of Gumball's design: he's a talking cat, so naturally he thinks the world should revolve around him. That's why he's so brash, and it doesn't hit the same with a goat.
    Conversely Darwin's copy being a frog is really clever but also really shallow. Its fundamentally the same design and explains how they could have the same backstory, swimming thing growing legs, but Darwin fits Elmore perfectly as a conceptual anomaly while having the emotional punch of evolving for his family in the first place.
    His copy being a frog removes that conceptual and emotional depth since growing legs is something frogs naturally do, and makes him really normal for someone from a place like Elmore. You could say Gumball has a tame design for Elmore too, but the absurd situations he gets into from his self destructive behavior makes him fit in regardless, behaviors that Darwin's copy doesn't have.

    I really loved “Be Your Own You”, it was a fun musical number what with the Watersons trying in vain to have their copycats be more unique. Also liked the plot point with the copycats not having a third child. I’m surprised the show didn’t get banned from China after this, especially with the dig at their ½ child policy.
    I kinda wonder what an episode that made fun of Teen Titans Go’s episodes dedicated to making fun of critics would be like considering how they dissed Miracle Star.
    I’m guessing it could involve Gumball and Darwin watching a cartoon and its an episode making fun of the critics with Gumball and Darwin being genuinely confused, then annoyed when the next episode is also dedicated to mocking critics, and then jumping into the show to get the characters to do something that isn’t mocking the critics.
    This was a fun way to send off the second voices for Gumball and Darwin (Jacob Hopkins and Terrell Ransom, Jr.) the former actually voicing Fushi in the dub of To Your Eternity.

I think they look a lot better aside from the father who goes from looking pretty different from Richard, to looking just like him.

      Technically the rip off was allowed to have the little sister involved because she's legally the 2nd child of the family. The creator of the rip off took advantage of Darwin's copycat being a boy to later become the adopted son of the family after China legalized the two-child policy. It made sense for the little sister to not be involved while the rip off first became official because China still held the one child policy. The creator managed to get away with involving Darwin's copycat during that time because he's legally the family pet who just happens to walk & talk like another child.
