From previous episodes, he often refers to himself as someone "not very useful" to others, but always trying to do his best to help. I can't find a situation where thinking this way is correct, nor is it healthy.

Garby seems to suppress this feeling most of the time, precisely to avoid bothering others (who already find him annoying because of the gas issue), It is not until he is on his own that he lets this feeling explode and overwhelm him in a fit of nerves, not knowing exactly what to do, Although it doesn't really come across as a big deal, since that's how it was written, I still think there's much more depth to his character.

This lack of self-confidence is most evident in the shooting practice episode, where, he desperately tries to pass the practice, attempting it several times, and after being the only one unable to complete the training properly, he begins to despair after failing to reach the level of the others in the gang, revealing a feeling of inferiority he has towards them. This insecurity seems to stem from a fear of being left out or abandoned for not meeting his friends' expectations (which don't actually exist, and to be honest, I doubt they expect anything from him lol), because it is something he himself has created in his mind to use as a "goal" and if he achieves it, others will be able to see him as a useful member of the team. Perhaps he feels ignored by his friends, isolated in most cases, distant from who they are, and the idea he has of himself, he is seen as someone replaceable, because in most cases, rather than helping, he gets in the way of others, becoming an impediment or a nuisance. He's not good at combat; most enemies are much stronger than him. He's not strategic, and he's not very resilient either. For this reason, when using the superchargers and successfully completing the practice, he begins to have this desire to want more; he sees it as an alternative, as the only way to achieve it and that others can see that, just like them, he can do it too. He needs to feel useful, that he's not just a burden to his friends.

In the rest of this episode, after eating all the superchargers, he looks depressed when he hears how upset the rest of the gang are, instead of taking advantage of the superchargers, he ends up messing things up and causing more problems for the gang, which is precisely what he wanted to avoid from the beginning. And to be honest, I don't personally like the solution to this problem. I feel that they don't really teach Garby anything relevant, and he doesn't learn to have more self-confidence either, they just tell him that shooting isn't his thing and that he should stick to being the "rock expert", that at the beginning of the episode seemed to depress him, being just that in the eyes of his friends, but magically here he seems to be quite okay with it.

I've come to think that his way of relating to others, talking too much and using unfunny jokes, might be because it's the only way he knows how to get attention, This feeling of wanting to be seen by others and to be liked by everyone, I think he believes that's how he is, not realizing that he makes others uncomfortable, he doesn't quite know how to identify their emotions; it would be easy for others to see his personality as "fake" or "performative," not as someone genuine. Besides the fact that nobody seems to be really interested in him, he's the only member of the gang who doesn't even live in the flairtons. He mentions that he likes having his own space, but I wondered to what extent this is actually enjoyable for him, since he doesn't seem to have any friends other than Ty and the gang.

The only friend we know he had before was Goldtrux, but we don't have much information about how they got along, but they seemed to be somewhat close since he mentions that they used to eat together quite often, e also seems somewhat sad/scared when talking about it.

I think that perhaps what happened to Goldtrux might have affected Garby in some way; after all, he saw how a friend of his ended up becoming someone completely new, in a very bad way. Unfortunately, they don't interact in this episode, so it's difficult to know how things ended between them. I think we can do interesting things with those two, which I might talk about later.

Garby is possibly my favorite character right now and I wanted to talk a little about this. I think he's a character with a lot of potential beyond being used for fart jokes. I don't see anyone who really likes him, I can understand why, but of the few things that are shown about him, there are some that really catch my attention.

It's been a while since I've watched any episode, so it's possible I made some mistakes or missed several things.

garbys feelings of inadequacy and his lack of self confidence is one of my favorite things about his character, and im so glad to see someone talking about it.

him viewing himself to be not the most helpful and him going out of his way to prove that he can be useful and match up to his friends is something ive really admired about him, and the lengths he'd go to do that.

like the shootout episode you mentioned and in the episode before the finale "ore hunt" where he accidentally is the one to reveal the location of the secret base, and to make up for it he eats a bunch of purple ore and gets chased by the dreadtrux.

and despite his negative thinking, hes especially more useful to the team then he thinks, like in garbys gang and when he and george are the first ones to defend them when they first return to the crater.

I dunno why I keep posting so late at night, I just end up drawing and getting ideas around this time I guess

God I wish we got more of their backstory together because wtf do you mean they were childhood friends??
