If he were like that, he wouldn't be who he is. He'd be so heartless, that all his fangirls will be astonished by this new behavior that they'll just go away. That's not most women want now-a-days. XD

"DETHKLOKITIZE"? Oh GOD no. Please no. If that would happen, I'd be AFRAID of him. Seriously. If it were to happen, my drawing of Wilt art would end abruptly. Heck, if he was like that, he wouldn't be my favorite character anymore - I wouldn't HAVE one anymore. Hey, it could always be Coco, though - she's my 2nd favorite. ;)

Besides, he doesn't need one - he's already got that "1" on his chest since he was born/created/thought up!

For me, stitches and that "1" are ENOUGH for me. :D

Wilt + tattoos = Fangirl-REPELLENT

He's not on fire, silly. :D

Don't call me a meanie - then that would mean I'm not aloud to voice my opinions, ne?

You know, I wondered how Wilt got so polite!:wiltshock: I guess that answers *my* question!

Call me ignorant, but What The HECK does "DETHKLOKITIZE" mean? Is this a character from Anime'(which I don't watch)or some video game(which I don't play)or what?

Personally, I think Wilt would be even sexier(if THAT is possible, that is)with a few unigue tattoos. I have tattoos myself(lots of women do)and while not all of them are appealing, the right tattoo on the right guy is a real attention-getter. I'm not talking some cliche' like a skull with a phony-looking cobra slithering out of it, but maybe something like a tribal armband to sorta balance out the suture scars on his left stump of an arm. He doesn't need to be covered in ink, since as you said, he does have that big number "1" and those scars, but one or two tats would not look bad on him at all. Goodness knows with Wilt's high threshhold of pain, he's not gonna be worried about a tattoo needle hurting!

pitbulllady

I think she meant something about him being "Death-metal" or something like that, hence the "DETH" in it. If THAT were to happen to him, then GUH. Seriously, the thought of that happening almost GAVE ME NIGHTMARES. *shivers at the thought* He'll HAUNT ME!! Just like the Cannibal Ghost.

But I still say the "1" is enough, since he had that since he was created.

I like Wilt just the way he is. Tattoos, to me, doesn't really...you know what I mean.

Dethklok is the heavy-metal-ish band from the Adult Swim show "Metalocalypse".

And actually, I'd have to disagree that fangirls wouldn't like him anymore. A lot of fangirls seem to have a fascination with making Wilt a cutting, tattooed, angsty, wearing-spiky-things "hardk0re" type... thing...

Also, "some cliche' like a skull with a phony-looking cobra slithering out of it" amused me for some reason. That's not as cliche as the tattoo-that-says-"MOM", though.

Yah. Dumkoff already suggested that to me in a PM. xD And like I told her, the mental picture of Wilt with tattoos and peircings makes me laugh. 8D I wouldn't like him to really go like that, though. That'd be weird.

You people are crazy. x3

I perfer Wilt plain, thank you very much.:D

Now the piercings and the spiked collars and the whole "Goth/BDSM" thing, NO. Ditto for the extreme "Emo" with the self-mutilations. Tattoos, on the other hand, are very mainstream nowadays, not even considered to be taboo or rebelious anymore. Even the people at my church don't bat an eye at mine...OR the preacher's earring. A LOT of athletes have tattoos, and since Wilt IS an athlete(one of the very best), it wouldn't be going against his character at all to have at least one, though I can't picture him going overboard with it and being covered in ink.

pitbulllady

I had some silly fun and drew Wilt goth like here. Not to be taken seriously. Heee. Lobe piercings! *jingles them*

id have to say pbl was right about the armband thing. that would look so cool on wilt. but besides that, anything else, well, would be flat out weird. and "DETHKLOKTIZE"? im scared at the thought

THAT'S what I'm trying to say!

Wilt + Emo = Don't see it happening.

Me too. *hides under covers*

I haven't been here in a while... And the thought of Wilt going goth or punk or whatever seems... Scary... *hides in a dark corner*

One question:

"Kwithmuth?"

The "Gothic Wilt" art was intresting, CG.:D

Anyone every wonder how things would have turned out for Wilt if he and Jordan had won that fateful game against Larry and his creator 30 years ago, and Wilt would not have gotten hurt?

Having known(and practically grown up with)many Black families throughout my life, I have a strong feeling that if that had not happened, and Wilt did not feel so overwhelmed with guilt and self-loathing over it, he would still very much be a part of that family today. There'd be no kicking him out when Jordan got older-once a family member, ALWAYS a family member. He'd have to go to family reunions and probably attend church, and serve as a mentor and role model for many young men of the Michaels clan for generations to come. Even if Jordan still became a famous basketball player, and even if Wilt did not actually live under the same roof with him, they'd have remained close. It's not unreasonable to assume that WILT could have become a famous athlete in his own right, alongside his creator, becoming the first-ever Imaginary Friend to become a pro basketball player. I can guarantee, though, that as long as "Mama Michaels" was still alive, regardless of how rich and famous they'd become, SHE would always have the final word! She'd probaly have thought of Wilt as one of her own, her "baby"(10 feet tall or not), and would no more have considered tossing him out like garbage just because her real son grew up than she would have thrown out Jordan himself.

I can't help but to think about how that would have been in contrast with how Mac's mom saw Bloo.

pitbulllady

Ahhh, a goth Wilt? Oooooh.... I'm on the school comp. right now. If I'm not having tech difficulties on my comp. back at home, I would love to draw a gothic Wilt.
*swoons* Okay, I'm strange I know. But THAT I think is would be cool to draw.

I just cannot fathom Wilt in chains, with all these piercings and stuff, but he would look fine in a black trench coat, no?

pitbulllady

I agree with you, PBL!:D

Okay, you people are seriously scaring me...I'ma go...Someplace else. Call me back to this thread when ya'll are done...

It might be apropos to have a "straight" Wilt discussion thread and one where the fangirls can go to let off (an appropriate amount) of steam now and then, just so us non-Wilt fangirls can stomach this thread, lol. ;)

Well said, Sparky! :D

Oh good lord, it's JUST goth! Goths may look scay, like bugs, but they won't hurt you.....or atleast most of them anyways ;D.
Hmmmm. Wilt looking fine draped in chains and black with heavy eyeliner..... Okay, so I have to admit it DOES sound odd for him being goth for 5 reasons:

1: He's suuuuuch a sweethaert! Awww.
2: He's optimistic.
3: He's really friendly.
4: He plays basketball.
5: And he seems so nurturing, harmless and innocent.

oh!
I thought they said northEAST for some reason.
hmm........
why'd I think that?
-mumbles to self-
O.o maybe he's from NEW YORK!

Wilt doesn't talk like a New Yorker at ALL, not if by that you mean NYC. One of the other teachers I work with is from NYC, and I also have a couple of students from Brooklyn, and a couple more from New Jersey, and they don't sound anything like Wilt. Wilt has a rather strong Southern(and I don't mean "redneck" Southern) "flava" to his mannerisms and speech, with a bit more emphasis on some of the coastal areas, though I wouldn't rule out Atlanta. I guess that's why I've never been as bothered by his politeness and niceness like some people have, since where and when I grew up, this was considered proper behavior for a gentleman. My, how times have changed, and not for the better. Even the apologizing would not have been considered that odd just a few decades ago, since this basically was one of the ways that a person could say, "I respectfully disagree with you"-by starting out their arguement with "I'm sorry, but...".

That's what I figured, since I heard somewhere that the Foster's house is located in somewhere in California or some other place in the west.

>> all right,
just to clear up this thing,
I didn't mean for him to be GOTH,
just a bit of a rocker.

I can't even really picture Wilt as a rocker or metalhead, honestly, and I used to be one myself. He's more of the "Quiet Storm" type. I was really surprised that he went to that concert in that episode so many people hate, and got a t-shirt; that was just so OOC for him on so many levels.

He'd still look good in an open black trench coat or full-length "duster", though.

pitbulllady

Oh yeahh.

i dont think ive seen that episode. what episode was it?

it was
"imposter's home for um... make 'em up pals"
or something like that.

Yep, that was it. I kept thinking the whole time that this is just so not like Wilt to take off and go to a rock concert, leaving Frankie behind, knowing how badly she'd wanted to go. He just doesn't seem like the heavy metal type, let alone punk, and it certainly isn't like him to put his own fun over someone else's, in any case.

pitbulllady

It was written by some other dude aside from the usual suspects, though, right? I can't recall who, but I guess we could kindasorta write it out of Wilt's "canon".

Here's my version of the dark side of Wilt. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...2/gothwilt.jpg

Craig Lewis wrote the episode....that's all I am going to say on the matter.

I knew his last name was Lewis! I'll have to go look and see if he's done any other episodes....

.....man. I bet Mr. Lewis is living in a bomb shelter now.

Actually Mr. Lewis wrote quite a few episodes in the shows first three seasons: The Trouble with Scribbles, Adoptaclypse Now, Bloooo, Partying is Such Sweet Soiree, Where There's a Wilt There's a Way, Squeakerboxxx, Beat With a Schtick, Bloo Done It (Co Written with Adam Pava), Eddie Monster and Hiccy Burp.

So given all his contributions I would say he was a member of the regular crew until he left to do his own thing.

Now to get this back slightly on-topic can anyone remember any specific examples of the Wilt-Man acting OOC in any of those episodes?

Hey, free concert is a free concert. I know that sounds mean and totally 'OOC' for Wilt to even consider that but a guy's gotta let loose sometime, doesn't he? Before 'Partying is such sweet soriee' Wilt didn't seem the kind who enjoyed dancing either. A character can still grow, and show what her/his likes and dislikes are even this far into a series.

I won't necessarily consider some of his behaviors in these episodes to be "OOC", but in some cases, they WERE a bit...well, different...from what most fans have come to expect of Wilt.

In "Squeakerboxx", Wilt is selfish with the toy elephant on the bus, actually yelling at the others and participating in a childish tug-of-war over the thing, instead of trying to be a peacemaker and smoothe things over and come up with a logical and fair solution. In "Blooooo", he throws his usual logical, common-sense way of thinking to the wind and jumps to the conclusion that Bloo is a ghost. True, he'd just seen a movie about a ghost, but it was just soooo fake, and you'd think that Wilt would have known that. In "Beat With a Schtick", probably the closest to being really OOC of them all, he totally went off on Bloo for something that really didn't even involve him, showing this nasty side and apparently indicating his own feelings of discrimation against the "Smalls"(short people/IF's). In "Eddie Monster" Wilt BACKHANDS Bloo upside his head, on purpose, and does NOT apologize, and it's strongly hinted that Wilt was also the one who K.O'd the tall Extremasaur whom they thought was the one that was to fight Eduardo. Of the group of Ed rescuers, he certainly would have been the only one strong enough to do so. In "Hiccy Burp", Wilt physically and literally KICKS Bloo out the room and has a minor tantrum when reminded to practice his lines, stomping off in a huff. Now, a lot of this behavior, and ALL of his behavior on "WTAWTAW", can be attributed to stress, since a person can only take just so much, and at times, can take less than usual, which is why I don't really consider most of it, with the exception of "BWAS", to be OOC. I can also attribute Wilt's backhanding Bloo and beating up that other tall IF as him being protective of a friend whom he knew was likely in grave danger; he knew that it was imperative that they get Eduardo back to Foster's ASAP, and by any means necessary, for his own good, and anything or anyone who stood in the way of that happening was going to regret it. Even though he didn't say anything about it, I'm sure that Wilt knew that Bloo was really behind Ed's running away and getting in this dangerous predicament in the first place. It's like those funny end credits to GWH, when he's heckling the ref, and you get the impression that if some other guy made the mistake of hitting Jordan, Wilt was gonna cause yet-another one of those nasty brawls that seem to plague the NBA so much nowadays.

Those are some of the things i love most about the Wilt man. All this stuff shows that he IS a character not just some polite long legged robot who seems to be the favourite character of nearly every blummin' girl in the whole world. It shows that he CAN get stressed, that he CAN get angry, that he CAN get annoyed and he can get insulted. In "Beat with a Shtick" he even does take things a LITTLE over the top, I mean, as Bloo said it WAS "Just a little joke". Being pretty tall for my age, I've had that "Hows the weather up there?" joke thrown at me countless times, and I'm pretty sensitive and yet it's never bothered me. I'm like "Hey, at least I'm not the last to know!". We all know Wilt can be (for reasons unknown) kind of sensitive about being tall (which I really don't understand), but I mean yelling at Bloo and NOT hiding him in the drier makes him seem a teeny bit out of character to most but it tells me is that you can't push a push over... completely over because hes standing up for him self and fellow 'None smalls' everywhere. Man, that little scene made the episode one of my favourite episodes XD.

I'd feel he found those jokes offencive. And I don't blame him for getting angry at Bloo in those other episodes either, Bloo was being a jerk in "Eddie Monster", and he WAS "just pushing it" in "Hiccy Burp", wanting to just annoy the heck out of everyone, including Wilt. Wilt can be tough when he needs to be, either to voicing out about how bad tall jokes are, or to saving a best friend's life.
