Oh, that will be terrible!:( ...*Sniff* IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS!!!!!:'( *sob* IT'S BEEN ONLY TWO YEARS!!!!

We know that the movie won't be the end of the series, since it's just the beginning of Season Five, and Craig has already said that Season Six has been given the green light by CN...HOWEVER, I guess I've got some trepidation at this point that the movie's ending might be a let-down; I hope NOT, but I can't help but worry a bit. I also hope that it's not the end for Wilt as a major character on the show, but surely if there had been plans to write him off, or give him a spin-off, we'd have heard about it by now. They wouldn't do that to us fans.

pitbulllady

I wonder what will happen when they stop making the show. You think they'll show reruns? Because a lot of the cartoons I used to know isin't really on anymore because the writers simply quit writing the show. Anybody remember Cow&Chicken?, Ren&Stimpy? Johnny Bravo? Courage the Cowardly Dog?
It's like, they have been abandoned. Oh, and the PowerPuff Girls. I never see that on anymore. And then when "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends", shall we say, goes outta business......

The series will not be permitted to end until we get a Frankie movie. The Postmaster has spoken. ;)

We know the series won't end, but you do have a point.

Hey, look what happened to FOP after Channel Chasers. An AWESOME movie (the best FOP special, if you ask me), and then all the eps after it sucked. And that is why FOP was canceled.

I think we'll be happy for anything... unless, of course, Wilt is written out of the show.

Then I will spontaniously conbust.

-Marty :goo:
P.S.- Excuse any spelling errors. I can't type today.

And I suppose Lauren won't tell us whether or not Wilt will be written off for the show. It'll make us suffer to find out if he is or not.

If he is, Craig and co. better be ready for an angry mob.

Not to worry y'all, I'm 100% certain that we'll still be putting up with seeing Wilt after the movie airs. :D

My thoughts, too! :D

Yeah, I really doubt they'll simply get rid of any characters after the movie. But wouldn't it be awful if after the movie, the eps won't be as good as before?
After the creators of Spongebob made that Spongebob movie, things have went downhill ever since--in my opinion and many others' anyway.

I think the crew is smart enough to know that removing any of the main cast wouldn't be a very good idea if they truly care about the fans. You gals are talking about the possibility of Wilt being written off; well, I don't know what I'd do if they did that to Frankie.

Ooooooo...sounds like jealousy rearing its ugly head, LOL!

pitbulllady

...Huh? What do you mean? (I know, I'm a little slow)

I don't get why people keep saying they're afraid they'll get rid of Wilt after the movie.... why would they? They've never done that to a major character before. It would have no purpose, people would be marching to CN's headquarters with pitchforks, Foster's doesn't have that much continuity.... there's nothing to worry about.

I do not choose to discuss the matter at this time. Suffice it to say that he's not my favorite character and I like him less now than when the show first started, but it's not his fault, and leave it at that.

I think it's almost guaranteed that the last episode - may that not be anytime soon! - will have the same cast as the first. :)

Well, with some additions. :gooblab: :cheesegrin:

Thanks a lot. :P

:terrconf: Err...sorry? Its true though, Goo and Cheese have joined the "cast", for good or ill.

Not to worry, I'm just saying they're a bit tiresome.

To Pittbull lady a couple pages back: The SW movie was called "SW Epsiode V: The Empire Strikes Back", I don't see that at all justbecause I don't think IFs can have kids. Plus, in "ROTJ" Vader saved Luke while the BB guy looks like he'd leave Wilt to die.:(

Oh yeah, Tonya R&S airs on Nicktoon like every week. Courage aired all last month on TV & was this month until they started airing movies every night. The PPG X-mas speacal was on this week & Craig said it wasn't canned.

To Invader Bloo-SOME Imaginary Friends, at least, CAN reproduce and have offspring. We have already seen proof of this in "Land of the Flea", in which the Imaginary Fleas had lots and LOTS of babies, and while Lauren has said that Imaginary Friends cannot IMAGINE other Imaginary Friends, some can apparently create them the "old-fashioned" way. I have to wonder, also, about that nursury at Foster's, full of monster babies. Now, if a little girl were to create an Imaginary Friend baby, it would most likely be a human-like IF baby, sort of a living, breathing incarnation of a baby doll. I can't fathom that many little girls creating all those horned, fanged, multi-eyed and generally strange-looking babies to mother and care for, and I cannot see many little boys creating an Imaginary Friend baby of ANY sort. So where do you suppose that all those monster babies came from?

In The Empire Strikes Back, following the light saber battle, Darth Vader does NOT save Luke Skywalker after cutting off his arm, but continues to threaten and press him to join the Dark Side. Luke is saved by Han Solo, if my memory serves me correctly, after nearly falling through some sort of chute thing while desparately trying to hang on with one hand. It's not until a later installment that his father actually saves him. From what we'd seen of Lord Vader's personality and temperament prior to TESB, we would have had no reason to assume that he would have ever spared Luke's life, either.

pitbulllady

No I meant "Return of The Jedi" the sequel, but I guess your'e right. Oh yeah, Leia & Lando save Luke. Han was frozen in carbonite by Boba Fett & vader.

Now SW aside, I guess your'e right about the IF babies. Even though I'd doubt Wilt would have an IF father. I may accpet the gang theory after the last episode though.

Here's another of my far-fetched theories to throw out:

What if this now-adult kid Wilt is searching for is not HIS creator, but more or less the other way around-Wilt is HIS biological father? The kid's mother did not want her son to grow up knowing that his father wasn't human, so during his early years she convinced him that this tall red guy who's such a part of his life is actually his Imaginary Friend, and convinces Wilt to go along with the ruse. Then, something happens-either Wilt gets tired of living the lie and believes it's best to go ahead and tell the kid the truth, or the woman finds a new man in her life that she believes will be a better father(if for no other reason than he is a human)-whatever, and she and Wilt have a major falling out and she decides he has to go. Maybe she is somehow responsible for him being injured, like she had someone shoot him or something, to shut him up before he told the truth. She's thought that he was dead all this time, or she had a restraining order issued against him, to keep him away from both her and the kid, and it's just now expired. All this time, Wilt's known that he has a son/daughter(cannot rule out the kid being a girl still), but he's never been able to formally acknowledge it, possibly out of fear, until now. His decision to "set things right" could mean finally locating this now-adult individual and telling him/her the truth, to unburden himself of having let his kid grow up fatherless after all these years. The "terrible" something he tells Bloo that he's done might be fathering a child and then leaving him/her, for whatever reason, which could also account for Wilt's own hang-ups about abandonment-they come not so much from somebody having abandoned HIM, but from HIM having had to abandon someone else! That person on the phone in the trailer could be Wilt's Ex, rather than the Basketball-headed Dude, since they probably did not part on the best of terms, and if she's had reason to believe that Wilt's been dead all these years, that would explain why he says, "Bet you never expected to hear from ME, again, did you?" The Basketball-headed Dude could be an actual Imaginary Friend created by the kid, OR just someone else from Wilt's old 'hood, an old rival, or a member of a new gang that's taken over the territory since Wilt left long ago, who challenges Wilt for the right to even be there now. He might be totally unrelated to Wilt's quest other than another obstacle to be overcome.

pitbulllady

Why would be all sadabout creator's day then? Yeah that was far-fetched.

Ask anyone who's ever lost or had to give up a child, for whatever reasons. ANYTHING that reminds such a person that they cannot be with that child is going to trigger some really bad emotions. Those people will tell you that giving up a child, or losing one, is far worse than losing a parent, sibling, or other family member, and many such people never do completely get over it. Creator Reunion Day at Foster's would be like the equivalent of Father's Day and Mother's Day to the rest of us.

pitbulllady

Very intresting. Farfetched, but intresting.

Wilt: I'm sorry, but I'm your father. Is that okay?
Now-adult kid: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Wilt: Oh, sorry!

I know, lame joke.:P But hey! The heck with it!

And I wonder: How did this "Star Wars" discussion get in this "Wilt" thread?

Um.....ok......that is weird......:wiltshock:

DUDE!
ok, I know this is completely stupid, but.....
what if they make it a cliffhanger and make us wait till, like, march for the rest?

(I told ya it was stupid! you were warned.)

I don't think it's stupid at all, really. It would not surprise me at all if we DON'T learn all the secrets to Wilt's mysterious past, at least not in this movie. We might indeed have to wait to find out more bits and pieces of the puzzle in later episodes, like when we'd least expect something like that to pop up.

pitbulllady

whoa!
I was so expecting someone to be all
"that's retarded! that ain't gonna happen" or something.
but sweet!
someone agrees.

P.S.
I still totally want that huge float thing they showed!

OM MY GOD! 8D That was the most unbefreakinlivably hilarious thing!
I'm sorry, but you made my day. Is that okay?

And wait, was there a theory that I missed about Wilt having an Imaginary dad? Awww, I love that thoery-probably never happened in my opinon-but I love that theory! It makes me wanna write fanfiction.-Yeah, I always say that I'm gonna write fan fics but you never see me post any. Go figure. But eh, you never know, I might post one of that theory one day.
And yes, I also believe that Wilt has so much of a past that all the little secrets and details might not fit into just one movie. Heck, they might have to make another one at the end of the seires.

That's great, PBL. I always like to think it's not impossible for humans/IFs to form real relationships. Why not? Heck, you and I know how we feel about Wilt. ^_^ And wouldn't that be the best message of living a life free of prejudice views? (Since IFs exist in this "world" the human characters are in, it would be like a form of prejudice to be against human/IF relationships, just like exists in real life with same-gender relationships or even different race relationships.)
Cool idea. Highly unlikely, but still a very cool idea. I like your imagination.

We have also seen irrefutable proof that many IF's DO have the same desires that humans have, in terms of at least physical relationships, as well as proof that some, at least, are able to reproduce just as humans and other "higher" animals do. That probably would be a fairly rare thing, given the almost-infinate array of body types and sizes found among them, but it does happen. Since, as you pointed out, so many of US human females find Wilt very attractive in such a manner, it's certainly not unreasonable to assume that in the "Foster's Universe", there'd be at least SOME human females who'd feel the same way. PLUS, you have to take into consideration that the time frame of such a hypothetical affair would have been during a period of time when "free love" abounded and people tended to go with that "if it feels good, DO IT" mentality, if for no other reason that to challenge the standards of the past. Still, there would have been plenty of flack directed at both mother and child if it had been known that the father was not a human, wouldn't it? Even though it would be hypocritical, most women would have denied that fact to protect their own reputation and the future of their kid, and if the kid LOOKED human enough, it would have been able to be passed off as such.

pitbulllady

I have always fallen in love with the idea of a human and an imaginary friend getting married and having kids and all that. Awwww! It seems like this kind of subject came up before somewhere, (imaginary friends and humans pairing up). To bad I didin't start a thread on it a long time ago. Oh well. But it's such a neat thought! Awww.

I love Wilt! He's my fav character! *huggles TV* I wonder how he got the bad arm and eye... It must've been so sad as of how he got them... *cries just thinking about it*

We'll know all the answers on Thursday. At least I hope we get all the answers; I don't relish the idea of going through this again in a year, with everyone getting into a tizzy about Good Wilt Hunting 2: Stuff We Forgot To Write About Last Time! :P

LOL, now you KNOW that every good movie gets a sequel(or two...or three)nowadays! I mean, heck-the BAD movies get sequels; if Jackass could get a sequel, surely WILT deserves one!

pitbulllady

They would be in need of a new title of the movie, something more interesting than just "Good Wilt Hunting 2" XDD

"Good Wilt Hunting II: This Time, It's Not Good Wilt Hunting I"

I don't know. I think Cassini's idea was rather awesome myself.

Good Wilt Hunting 2: Stuff We Forgot To Write About Last Time

It has a pleasant ring to it, don't ya think?

Not as pleasant as Frankie: The Movie. :frankiesmile:
