Without all my biases when I first started watching the show, I think they are cute as best friends and brothers
Although I still feel like Darwin is more dependent on Gumball than Gumball is to him...of course Gumball cares about Darwin, but he is the center of attention (or so he thinks) and the protagonist of the show, so he has to (in some way) spare his attention to others...not just Darwin....while Darwin rarely gets his own episode
I mean...Darwin was a pet godfish and Gumball is the sole reason he's walking and breathing on land, everything in his world right now started with Gumball...so I guess I understand...I'm just not satisfied (as a Darwin fan) and hope Gumball would put more care and attention towards Darwin because Darwin truly loves him (not in a romantic way)
The balance of their dynamics...is it bad that I love to see Gumball getting worried about Darwin or protecting him or apologizing to him...? Every time I think Gumball has done something unforgivable to hurt Darwin (intentionally or unintentionally) he comes back do something that shows he cares about Darwin I would immediately turn around...he's a good kid deep down after all
It is evident that they truly care about each other and would give up the world if they have to. But...okay, this is going to sound weird, but I think Gumball is way more important to Darwin than Carrie, while Penny is probably more important to Gumball comparing to Darwin.............Darwin's care and love (again, not romantic love, but my point still stands) towards Gumball is not really one sided, but unbalanced (After all Gumball is the star of the show...sigh
I mean...brother is forever, Darwin even helped Gumball on his romantic quest several times (well Gumball "helped" in the wrong direction in the matchmaker too, which is kind of cute
