I was browsing through fanfic, and I saw a comment on one fic stating that Gadget is more of a jerk in this series than in the past, with Double 'O Penny one of the episodes being cited as proof.
Do you agree?

I haven't watched the 2015 episodes for quite a while, but I think this version of Gadget is way more idiotic than the original one.

And waaay more potty humor than the other two. In fact, I don't think there was any in the other incarnations. In one episode from the 2015 ver., he spent almost an entire episode running around looking for a bathroom, it was in "one bad apple", I believe. In another episode "MAD carpet ride", Penny dragged brain to the bathroom to give him a bath, Gadget came out holding a rolled up newspaper and green fumes seeped out of the room.

Hmm, since I haven't watched the 2015 episodes for quite a while there are some scenes that I can't remember that much But I do remember that one from "One Bad Apple"

Actually having seen every episode now... I agree. What really struck me was how much Gadget dislikes Brain in this series and even went so far as to say he is a 'dumb dog'. I was liking Gadget a lot up until that point and it honestly hurts my view of his character after seeing that. Penny can be jerk on numerous occasions as well, were they just trying to make all the characters unlikable or what? There seems to be much more tension between the family members this time around... Did they even watch the original? The three of them did share happy moments together. Now Gadget and Brain hate each other and Penny can't stand her uncle most of the time. :\

Since a normal, healthy relationship isn't going to lend itself to comedy that easily, it's simpler to write dysfunctional people for comedies. That works for original stories where characters are only being developed, but the more dramatic Classic series already set up the Gadget Clan as having an odd but close and loving connection. All three were shown to care about the other two. Now, while Penny usually cares about Brain and Gadget (and even she's rather hit or miss), the guys seem only to really care about her, and that's only when they can actually remember she exists. It's really kind of sad if you examine it.

This was something I had to put a lot of thought into. Is Gadget a jerk?....To a degree...yes! But do I think he does it deliberately? No! When you have been doing something for so many years of your life, and receiving all kinds of praise for it from city mayors to world leaders! Even from the one's hiding in the shadows, patting you on the back, for a job well done! I can kinda see where an arrogance comes into play. He doesn't mean to come off that way, he just thinks he's that damn good!

Unfortunately with reincarnations like these they have a tendency to turn nice characters into jerks. Like the show does sometimes feels mean spirited and I think almost all of the characters are guilty of this. With Gadget specifically I don't think he does it intentionally but when he does it sticks out like a sore thumb. As someone stated before, calling Brain a "dumb dog" definitely seems very out of character for someone like Gadget to say.

I think this version of gadget is so dumb, he'd die if someone didn't remind him to breathe. Why do shows have to turn lovably dumb characters into stupid jerks?
