The "Sister" Gumball2 | July 7, 2017 | User blog:Gumball2 I've used this term a few times in passing, but I wanted to use this space to discuss more about this topic. The "Sister" refers to the ten sisters clumped into a single entity. Sometimes they will be dispersed in different places, but usually they'll all be in the same room (or less than arms length apart from each other). When this happens, all ten sisters come to an agreement and will express it with the same passion as everyone else. Lisa will buy into superstition even when she would know better, Leni will stop pulling punches even though she wouldn't hurt a fly, Luna will spit in Lincoln's face even with their close relationship, Lori will conform to the mold even when she yearns to be special, Lucy will beat up Lincoln even when she relates to him. You get the point. There's no disagreement within the "Sister. No debate, no sliding scale of feelings, no doubts, and no introspection occurs either. Any lines of dialogue the sister characters say are practically interchangeable. his apparatus is rarely used effectively because it excludes Lincoln. Lincoln vs "Sister" is a lazy conflict because it dehumanizes the sisters and leaves the impression that Lincoln isn't as included as what the show runners would like. Lincoln might as well live in a haunted house laced with booby traps and you would basically the same about any one of these sisters. When this is used as the conflict in an episode, Lincoln is often left to fend for himself even when there are sisters that would certainly take his side (and believe me when I say that it doesn't reflect well on those sisters). Because the episode doesn't want to focus on individual sisters (and when you have ten of them crammed on screen, you don't have time), the conflict isn't as interesting because we can't explore how any of the sisters see the situation; we're deprived of character development and we're forced to shovel down the notion that Lincoln is always gonna be wrong and that his mistakes and shortcomings will always be met with retribution (while the sisters are protected from that fate sheerly by their numbers) Examples of the "Sister" at work include "Heavy Meddle", "Making the Case", "Sleuth or Consequences', "It's a 4x Loud House", "Cereal Offender", "Study Muffin",and "No Such Luck". The apparatus is not limited to the listed episodes and if you want to debate anyone, feel free to do so.
