Good thing you added that last bit with your edit.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude OR callous! And yes, I agree, Frankie DOES deserve a whole heap of respect! I was just stating a fact, and had no intention of insult, whatsoever. So I hope you'll forgive me, if it sounded that way. I never intentionally try to be rude...

Guess you read my post before I took it down. Eh, forget about it. :)

Yup, hopefully all our questions will be answered on Turkey Day...

I can't wait to find out who Wilt's creator was! My theory is that it might be a retired famouse basket ball player similar to Micheal Jordan (spelling?) or something similar to that. I don't think it would be a kid because why would they get rid of Wilt so soon if the creator's still a kid?

Well, we DO know from a previous episode that Wilt has been at Foster's for at least 22 years; he'd already been there for several years when Frankie moved in, and she appeared to have been around five or six at that time. He was already missing his arm and eye by the time he first appears in the Annual Foster's Photograph, too, so whatever happened(which will indeed be answered on Thanksgiving Day)had happened to him before he came to live at Foster's.

pitbulllady

Twenty two years? Wow... Then he was abused?... :'( Oh, now that's really making me cry...

We don't know that...yet. The question of HOW he lost his arm and eye will be answered on Thanksgiving Day, but I DO know that he did once have two arms and two eyes, and as CG has stated in her un-spoilerish(is that a real word?)thread(she's seen the movie already), Wilt's past, his physical condition, and his personality are all closely tied together.

pitbulllady

It will most definately be revealed in the movie, you get to see via a series of flashbacks just what happened to him. Just how he got hurt will make you think even more (if possible) of the one armed imaginary then you did before.

Neh, I already know Wilt is wonderful, so I'm sure it won't surprise me if he did some truly heroic deed or just something totally selfless. It would fit him perfectly, after all. :D I can truly imagine Wilt jumping in front of a bus to save a kid or protecting someone from vicious street dogs.

Seriously.

Who said he had already lost an arm AND an eye? We can't tell because of the banner covering his head. :D

Yay! Flashbacks! :D

I wonder how I can respect him more than I already do? Hmm...oh well. I guess I'll take your word for it, and find out if ANYONE'S theories were even close to being true. And I'm not saying who's theory was wrong. Except for me. I'll tell I was wrong. XDD

Two words: DON'T ASK.

One of PBL's theories about Wilt & the BBHG.
Wilt will rock BBHG's world!...in BB...Tommorow...at 7....then the next day...at 11 am...:P

Oh great. This is all making me want to bang my head on the keyboard and beg to the gods for tomorrow to come.

Yeah, you can see the pics on the sec on the main page called "Photo Albulm". Wilt was there since the second year. Instead of getting adopted he must of been saying other friends are better, to be helpful.

*groans impatiently* Now I wanna see the movie more than I did yesterday! >.<

I totally agree. :-D So, my new theory was that he saved a kid from rabid dogs, which tore Wilt's arm off and messed up his eye, and the kid and parents didn't want a messed up imaginary friend living with them (although I dun understand why they'd get rid of him, to me he's still adorable as always X3). This time this will be my final theory... Unless anyone else wants to make a better one. ;)

My word that's violent. o_o

I'm not going to come up with anymore theories, since they will all very likely be proven wrong tomorrow night, anyway, LOL! I CAN say, though, that it's very unlikely that Craig and Lauren, being "dog people" themselves, would come up with a scenario in which one of their dearest creations is mauled by "street dogs"(whatever those are). Also, if Wilt was even slightly bitten by a rabid dog, and his family did not care enough to seek medical help for him, being an obviously warm-blooded, mammalian creature himself, he'd be very likely to develope the 100 percent LETHAL disease, too, wouldn't he? Rabid dogs don't run in packs; rabies is a horrible and excruciatingly painful disease that causes severely abnormal behavior in afflicted animals, and other animals recognize that something isn't right, and generally try to avoid the sick one. As for any dog attack, it would be next to impossible for any dog, no matter how large it is, to reach Wilt's head and upper torso, and if he were lying on the ground, they'd be more likely to go for his lower extremeties and body first, since that's how canines kill large prey-by disembowelment. Nasty, but effective, and I've witnessed it firsthand, watching a pack of Carolina Dogs(Dingoes, to you Aussies-yeah, we have 'em in North America, too)take down a doe. But even still, it would seem odd for dog lovers like Craig and Lauren(Wilt WAS, after all, based on one of their own dogs) would create a scenario which makes dogs out to be the villains, and surely knowing that a beloved character such as Wilt was torn up by dogs would have a negative impact on how many younger children see dogs.

pitbulllady

I can at least say that isn't how it happened at all! I too am glad Lauren and Craig never chose to go with rabid dogs in any of their scenarioes. Sure in the opening of 'Phone Home' you see the poor little bone friend being chased by dogs, but you can blame that on the fact he was well. A bone.

Yeah, those dogs were just hungry, and he was, as you said, unfortunate enough to look like a bone. If they'd been really vicious they would have attacked Wilt instead of just devouring that big steak he offered them in exchange for the bone Friend.

pitbulllady

Heh heh, you just know someone is going to take the above scenario and turn it into an out-take on the fan-fic forum. :jk:

Oh, sorry, I didn't necessarily mean dogs with rabies. ^^; I just meant very vicouse, angry dogs running lose around town (although that does seem a bit random, lol). But I guess you're right, dogs might not work with what might've happened to Wilt's arm and eye.. I was probibly wrong anyway. :)

lol, Even if I was right I'm sure they wouldn't show blood and gore on Foster's.. Maybe some shadows near a terrified kid.. ;)

:'( My mom just got mad at my dad and went somewhere out of the house... Hope she comes back... :'(

Oh, dear. I hope she'll cheer up soon and forget all of this nonsense and go back to her normal life.:( I hope she comes back soon too, even though I don't know your mother, I just want everyone to have a nice Thanksgiving.:)

:)

Yay! She came home an hour later! I told her that I was worried that she wouldn't come back and she said, "Why wouldn't I come back? Just because of a small argument with your father? Ha! My mom's coming, I wouldn't just leave! ;)" Then she showed me she got Ice Age the Meltdown and some lights for my Christmas tree. Thanks for being so nice, "C" the Dragon!

:)

:D OMG I JUST SAW GOOD WILT HUNTING AND IT WAS SOOOOO ADORABLE! :D

Boy, oh boy do I LOVE it!!:D For more details of how much I love it, see the "Good Wilt Hunting Movie" thread.

EDIT: Oh, and your welcome, Sumshine 904! Glad to be an assistence!:D

Wow, this thread hasn't exploded yet... :O

Lol, indeed. However I would like to remind everyone that since GWH *just* aired, I would lean heavily on the spoiler tag button if y'all want to talk about anything revealed in that movie in here for a while. At least until next week, I guess. Just as a courtesy. People know to avoid the movie thread to avoid spoilers but they shouldn't have to avoid this thread too, not yet. That goes for the other character threads too, really.

Well, the people exploded on the GWH discussion forum. XDD

Yep. ;D And let's keep the 'exploding' over there, yes? x3

*climbs into confessional* I, uh, need to say that...For a couple months I didn't...Totally love Wilt anymore. When it came to him, I didn't have the warm-fuzzies anymore. That was...Up until I saw Make Believe it or Not. Not Good Wilt Hunting...Though that DID fuel it a LOT. The 'Lord Snotzax Eenie Meanie Baron Von McNasty' thing was TOO ADORABLE! =3 It is now my favorite episode(not counting GWH as an episode, but a movie). I LUFF THAT GUY.


*off topic'd* So...Was the 'confessional' okay, or should I have started out with "Hello, my name is InsaneFan...*hello InsaneFan* and..."?

Same here... Only with Eduardo. X3 I've loved Wilt sence the first episode but I know what ya mean.

Oh, and the confessional was fine. :D

Yeah, it's fine.:) I mean, I don't LOVE love him,(Not anymore, at least;)) I just thought of him as a cute friend.:D

I know, I mean, how can you NOT like such a cute, helpful, adorable imaginary friend like Wilt?! :D

People who are mean and immature. :D

Or are just tired of him. ;)

Unless they completely overdo the spineless pushover side of his personality in future episodes, I'll never get tired of him. In fact, it's the opposite. Wilt is a very refreshing change from the cynical and 'devil may care'-ish fictional characters that current mainstream media seems to have become obsessed with.

At least we know now WHY Wilt is SOMETIMES a spineless pushover, and knowing that makes this aspect of him more acceptable. We've also seen that he does have a VERY tough and resolute side to him when it's needed, so it's difficult to pin down Wilt as being one way or another. Knowing his history, and seeing that he is, for the most part, still caring and optimistic most of the time, makes him that much more interesting and loveable. I don't know of other fictional character who can match Wilt's personality. I'm hoping that now that he's reunited with his creator, and come to terms with his past, Wilt will have more confidence in himself and not be quite as worried about upsetting or disappointing others, to the point that he does act like a whipped dog. He will always be kind, selfless and caring, but at least now he shouldn't feel as much guilt about sticking up for himself and doing things for himself once in awhile, because he certainly deserves it.

pitbulllady

Sooo agreed, pitbulllady!

simply put, agreed. in the world of tv, all we get anymore is people who either are pure evil and want to destroy everything, or we get a guy who thinks hes ceaser and can do whatever he wants. Wilt is diffrent, he actually CARES for everyone, and does what he can to help. If only we had more of that on tv..

If only we had more of that in REAL LIFE! Even my preacher has said, "we need more Wilts in this world." Amen!

pitbulllady

lol true. wait did he really say that?

Muaha, why not?

Our preacher is a 26-year-old, who attended the Savannah College of the Arts in Savannah, GA, before getting "The Calling". It was his original intent to become an animator and work for Pixar, or Cartoon Network, or one of the other studios out in CA, so he is still very interested in animation. Foster's just happens to be his favorite show on television, because it's funny without relying on "bathroom" humor or being gross, it often does have a good, albeit subtle, message, without cramming said message down our throats, and it has very likeable characters.
