antgirl1: I don't hate anyone on foster's I just don't connect with wilt :P I can't see him and me getting along too well. XD but yeah, bashers can go to... well, Heaven, because Hell seems pretty cool and they do not serve that D; they deserve eternal bliss of boredom

pitbulllady: see, that's one thing I dislike about the fan "view" on wilt :[ that he's "emo" and "broken on the inside"... but perhaps I've just gotten sick of pics and fanfics of Wilt crying like a little girl. My own humble opinion of Wilt is that while he may have had some regret, he didn't let it get to him THAT much.. I mean, 30 years is a long time. If he was that depressed he'd be dead now D; I see him as a compulsive soul rather than a depressed one

Most of my opinion comes from the make believe day when he decided to join the bad guys because he felt it was his duty XD it shows that he most likely has a compulsive behaviour rather than trying to mend something greater

I don't care for the "emo-crybaby, self-mutilating" Wilt as is so often depicted in fanfics myself, but just because a person, ESPECIALLY an adult male, does not wear his heart on his proverbial sleeve does not mean that he's totally happy, either. Men from the culture from which Wilt came typically do not show sadness, and tend to bottle up such emotions, or "man up", as they say. Crying or showing other outward signs of grief, guilt, or sadness are generally thought of as signs of weakness in a man, although they're perfectly acceptable for a woman. Wilt' feelings of guilt and remorse were very obvious by the time the movie came around because he simply couldn't deal with those bottled-up feelings any longer. That IF-creator reunion picnic was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. It wasn't as if Wilt just suddenly, out of the blue, remembered the outcome of that game and how disappointed Jordan had been. He'd been carrying that around, deep inside, for 30 years, and there's no way that anyone can harbor feelings like that, for that long, without it affecting their behavior in SOME way. Instead of becoming a morose, sullen, sobbing wreck all the time, though, Wilt displays those negative feelings by tending to blame himself, not just for that game, but for just about everything that goes wrong for anyone. His poor self-esteem is evident when he tells Mac that there are plenty of other Friends who deserve to be adopted much more than he does, and even when he tells Jordan, "I'm not that great". Wilt doesn't see himself as so many others see him, and it goes beyond merely being humble. Wilt puts up a good front to keep others from knowing what's going on inside that psyche of his, lest his mood affect theirs in some negative way. So much of his behavior is due to him not wanting to hurt anyone else, or disappoint anyone else, including a lot of his compulsiveness, or rather, his tendency to "waffle" in indecision as he mentally weighs the pro's and con's of doing or not doing something. This is something that people my age tend to do, actually(I catch myself doing this a LOT), which is why even though Wilt is only in his thirties, I had him pegged as someone at least a decade older, lol.

I'm the same as you are; I love Wilt to absolute pieces, but I'm quite attatched to Bloo as well. I just don't show that round to much. For a month or so, when Season Two episodes were getting a bit old and there wasn't going to be any new episodes for a LONG time, there was a point I went off Wilt and started to like Bloo a lot more. I mean I still liked him, but his usual, dissapointingly small parts made me like Bloo more. Out of sight, out of mind, I suppose *shrugs* I feel bad about it sometimes, which I know is kinda stupid, but, you know, Wilt desreves all the love he can get, man...

Heylook a Wilt topic. %D

Wilt's my favorite character on this show. Dunno why, exactly, but looking over my favorite characters from anything it looks as though characters that can make me go "Awwww" and "HAHAHA ROTFL" and "Holycrapz that's cool" seem to be candidates for my favorites. Wilt has me saying all three of those, so I think that's part of it. %B

Um... slightly n00b-ish question, since I'm relatively new to Foster's and haven't seen all the eps yet. What Wilt-centric eps are there other than Where There's a Wilt There's a Way and Good Wilt Hunting?

One False Movie is one, the rest I list aren't all Wilt centric but have a lot of Wilt in them =P

Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree, not all Wilt, but has a lot of him in it, and a good episode to watch anyways XD

Room with a Feud, features a lot of Wilt, and the other characters (Ed, Bloo, Coco...), one of my favorite episodes XD

The Big Picture, again not a ton of Wilt, but he's in it, and it's also a good episode anyways =P

Neighbor Pains, has quite a bit of Wilt, and Ed's pretty funny with his "small talk."

Bus the Two of Us, lot's of Wilt, but I think you've seen that one XD

Make Believe It or Not, but I think you saw that one too XD, lampshade Wilt ftw =P

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I'm exhausted so I probably missed some, or mentioned some that shouldn't be mentioned D:

Uhm...I believe this might just be the first time I've posted in a topic dedicated to Wilt, which is ironic since he's my favorite character too XD

Anyways yea, sorry if I messed up the list D:

Foster's Goes To Europe also has a lot of Wilt (being agonizingly slow XD)

Camp Keep a Mac Down I like because of the Wilt moment when Bloo just leaves him to die XD

I kinda like the Wilt man myself! :D
It still bums me out though that Wilt didn't recieve ownership of that tricked out basketball room in "Room with a Feud" even though he truly deserved it the most.:(

Well, they HAD to make him want it somehow, right? If it wasn't just his style, he wouldn't want it. :D

Heh, he should've at least gotten the bed. XD That thing was a bunk bed. He could've asked if he could have half of it or something...

The look on his face when he sees the room is so priceless and Foster's EPIC XD

And how he knows a shortcut to the room cus he's lived in the house the longest is pretty neat for that episode <3
