Gua Gua (Darwin’s knockoff) got renamed to Ribbit in “The Knockoffs”, which I find kinda clever, since “guagua” iirc in Chinese is an onomatopoeia for the sound a frog makes, like “ribbit”. Kiki got renamed to Chi Chi though, and I’m not sure why.

@sonicanvaspost6867 Год назад

Because the name was phonetically spelled “QiQi”(if you referred to the direct Chinese phonetic translation), but pronounced as “Chi-Chi”. The “Kiki” happened because Saber butchered the transcription(or just good old transcription error idk)

One thing I liked about Gumball was how it bridged the gap between one-off episodes and and over arching stories, like how Tina eased up a little to Gumball and Darwin in later episodes after the one where they finally got to know each other a bit more and made up for rivalries they had in the past, just to name one example. That direction with how the show's episodes were structured and plotted out really lend itself to the overall Advent-Garde style Gumball was known for.

I worked on a Chinese show, back in 2015. The way you went around the brother sister thing is by making them twins. You were allowed to keep your twins during the one child policy. Which in 2015 when I worked on Sibe, I think in cities was relaxed. Our show was set in the 90s Shanghai so that was why we had to resort to that.

The chinese market is HUGE when it comes to movie theater releases and the chinese government probably told Warner they could no longer show their movies in China if they want compensation for the Gumball rip-off.

Remember that Darwin isn't a kid, but a pet that grew legs. Did the analogue for Darwin also develop in this way? Could it be that the Anais analogue *did* exist but was *removed* from the family when Gua Gua came around because China values sons more than daughters, and that's what Gumball was hinting at by her blurred out photo on the family profile page? _This has pretty dark potential._

Wait, Gumball had a Tiananmen Square joke?! I gotta see that episode! Also that might be why there was a rip-off because knowing China, the original was probably banned for that. Also you know what made Gumball great? It used the overused trope of the responsible mother and bumbling father to a great effect. Nicole wasn’t flat and was given a temper problem and Richard’s stupidity wasn’t often that of a jerk and hilariously there were cases where he was the reasonable one such as the episode when Nicole tried to get revenge on Simian. She told him to get out of the car window for a piece of paper and he was like “seriously?” He only did so because he was smart enough to know how dangerous pissing her off is lol.

@13thKingMu 2 года назад

They basically bring both ratatoing and little panda fighter character model as their own animation(the panda farting to the mice is not in the movie),also both of the studio who made these cannot sue CN mainly they're knew they're poor and even it worked,it wouldn't take long that movies they made are rip offs

@j.christ8786 2 года назад

The so-called clips of "Little Panda Fighter" that he "displayed" in this episode are actually those exact clips from that Gumball episode that you're referring to which makes it even funnier

@broblerone413 Год назад

The Eater food one is based loosely around Darwins girlfriend (she wasn't yet at the time it was made) taking over Gumballs body to eat since, well, she's a ghost, and possessing someone was the only way she could eat, and she made him eat till he was obese. The musical one is also where Darwin was actually an amazing musician, and again, Gumball was also bad in it too. The movie disk one is when they had to essentially return a rented movie they got but ruined it, and tried to fake it and return it later.

Great video ! I don't know why, 4:16 made me laugh so much ! The episode of Miracle Star and his brother breaking a DVD and making their own version of the movie is not original either. the name of Gumball episode is "The DVD". In Gumball, the scenario is more focused on them trying to lie and hide to their Mom that they can't bring back the DVD, and the "solution" to remake the movie themselves is a short moment at the end.

@wintermoon7003 2 года назад

I actually saw this episode before knowing about miracle star but somehow I felt like I missed an inside joke. Similar feeling to when you hear friends making a joke you understand but somehow felt it was also an inside joke that you weren't a part of. This episode was how I came to find out about miracle star! Though I could follow along without knowing about the ripoff show. I ended up rewatching the episode and it was even funnier, and the Anise bit made sense because that was the only confusing part.

The absence of a doppelganger Anais was probably what unsettled us the most. All the other main characters have their copies, but not Anais? ...Did something happen to her?

@Nosidda 2 года назад

This is the first time I've ever heard of this rip off, and honestly, just looking at the visuals in this video, there's actually some decent talent behind the animation and character design. Usually the character design in these ripoffs is nightmare fuel, or at least mediocre at best. But here, the character design is actually on point. And while the animation isn't great, it's not bad. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of better animation was simply due to deadlines and rushing, because there's actually some potential here. Whoever worked on Miracle Star does have potential. Just get some extra talent and great writers, and these guys actually could make something fun and original. But alas, it's a Chinese ripoff. The sad truth is there's potential here that will likely never be truly realized, which really sucks.
