Do you think we should create Gloom from Inside Out, although he doesn't have a physical appearance in the film?
 * Originally, Gloom was to be a visible character/emotion, as shown in conceptual art.
 * The character was going to be a male emotion.
 * It was originally going to be a penultimate that was going to get bigger as it became more important. The first concepts of him can be seen in the Book The Art of Inside Out.
 * Gloom's original design is inspired by the invisible Beings of Spirited Away.
 * He is the first villain of Pixar who does not have a physical body (and the first to be created), and is also the second main antagonist who can not speak and who does not utter any word, the first is Mor'du, from Brave.
 * He is also the first antagonist of Pixar (the first and only character) who has no name and is never named throughout the film, but if you can know that his name appears in the conceptual art.
 * Although he did not reveal his physical appearance, as the film progresses it is discovered who was behind all this mess (according to Anger's opinion), and it is implied that Gloom was there as the antagonist all this time. And this begins with Sadness turning memories into sad moments, then Gloom manifests himself for the first time when Riley is saddened in an unknown way, causing a Core Memory to leave its place and almost the emotions lose the Goofball Island, after that Sadness creates the new Core Memory the school scene by causing Riley to cry accidentally, the HQ turns black and dark, the Personality Islands go out and the Goofball Island is lost, Riley begins to wear clothes of black color (Symbolically indicating his state of depression), Fury crumbles the other Islands of Personality (only to make Gloom ever stronger), Riley's mind becomes a cloudy sky, Headquarters walls look gray instead Of purple as it used to be, Anger introduces the idea bulb in the console in order to return to Minnesota, not knowing that it was actually part of Gloom's plans, the console was Uelve black and disconnected when the black wave (Gloom) extends from where the light bulb is, making the emotions can do nothing for Riley to recover, being Sadness the only emotion that could defeat Gloom.
 * This could imply that Gloom, (the antagonist who manifested as a penumbra in the world of mind that Riley and his emotions would fight when Riley entered his mind) exists in the Inside Out universe. If Riley's depression worsened, Gloom would have manifested itself in a larger character as in the original plan.
 * Gloom is completely opposed to Joy for several reasons, and these are as follows.
 * Gloom has no physical body because it is a creation and is born of darkness, and because its beam is black. In the case of Joy, it has a physical body because it is born of light, has several beams of colors, and are blue, gold, purple on one side and white on the other.
 * Gloom has no feelings because it is a mental disorder, while Joy does.
 * Gloom is the carrier of depression and melancholy, while Joy is the carrier of happiness.
 * Gloom does not like Riley to be happy, while Joy does not like her to be sad. From the moment he was created, he tried to keep Riley from being happy, managed to drive Joy out of Headquarters, and even tried to stop her from returning and tried to usurp him.
 * Like the colors represented in the other emotions, Gloom also has its meanings. Black symbolizes depression, absence, gloominess and darkness.
 * Black is also used to be the color opposite to yellow, and is the third color opposite the latter already mentioned (after blue and purple). While yellow (the main color of Joy) is the most intense of all colors, black is the absence of all of them. This is another of the main good reasons of which this personage is the nemesis of the protagonist.
 * Gloom seems to have a similarity to Ultron, a character from Marvel Comics, because like the android, it was created by a heroic character, but when Sadness was also expelled along with Joy, it was as if he had betrayed his creator, such as Ultron betrayed his creator (Henry Pym) and turned against the Avengers.
 * When Anger, Disgust and Fear look at that console comes the black wave (Gloom), Fear says "How do you stop it?", referring that there is actually another character.
 * Although his current state is unknown, he is probably still alive and may return in the highly rumored "Inside Out 2" as the main or secondary antagonist, but this time with physical appearance. It is currently unknown if Gloom will reappear, or if there is even going to be a second Inside Out.
 * Many people think that Inside Out does not have a character who is the villain of the movie, because it does not appear physically. Anger, Jangles and the Forgetters are undoubtedly the closest that the film ever got an antagonist, and even the same Joy shows tones of antagonism towards Sadness. In spite of this, just to the last minutes when Riley loses all its personality, it reveals who is the villain of the film and turns out that it is the same Gloom.
