Aww. He's never asked me that yet. Maybe he already knows I can't cook! XDD

I've also noticed something about Wilt's wonky eye...sometimes it rattles and sometimes it doesn't. It's either another animation error or maybe it tends to "stick" at times. What do you people think? :D

Vampyre 01-05-2007 08:27 AM

Hmm... It's probably an animation error, but maybe we don't have to look at it that way. Wilt's eye is unpredictable so maybe it DOES get stuck.

Well, since I got the game to work (not on my computer though), he made me make a cake once, and he liked it. But, that is pretty confusing.

He won't eat brownies, or snacks, but he'll eat cake and candy? WTF, I ask!

He's full of surprises, I'm afraid.

Vampyre 01-06-2007 11:24 AM

We all know that Wilt can be a mysterious character, that's why he officially NEEDS a trench coat XD. I think he'd be pretty good if he starred in a detective movie too :D

It wasn't enough for ME, either! I say a full-length action movie with Wilt as the star is in order! He should star in a remake of a Humphrey Bogart movie, like The Maltese Falcon...that would work for me!

If there's an ANIME about Wilt, I will SO watch it!:D (Yes, I'm an anime/manga geek, so what?)

Be fair. A good anime about Foster's would be fine with me, as long as the plan isn't too far stretched.

Well, I just figured, since PPG has it's own anime. Maybe Foster's will, someday.

Vampyre 01-07-2007 11:26 AM

Well hopefully the Foster's anime (if there every is one) won't be as much as a dissapotment as the PPG one. I watched one episode you tube and bothe th Powerpuff Girls and Mojo Jojo gave up because there some really good rice on sale or something O_o. And if they ever DID make a Foster's anime, I really hope that perhaps the Fosters Crew would redo the voices if it was ever bought to america and the UK. I LOVE Wilt's low silky voice so I think I'd be disstraught if he suddenly went chip munk XD.

Voxxyn 01-07-2007 11:34 PM

If there is ever a Foster's anime and Frankie gets reduced to cheap cynical fanservice, I will be very upset. :(

I'm not really into the idea of Foster's becoming an anime. Nothing against anime, but I don't want it to sacrifice it's unique style so it can 'fit in' with the mainstream. The characters are already very expressive, especially Bloo and Frankie and Wilt.

But if it were well-made and treats the source material with respect, I would be cool with it.

That's my opinion, also. I have never been able to get into Anime at all, and one of my complaints is that the characters all pretty much are drawn the same way, in different series, by different artists. You can look at something and right away usually tell if it is Anime or Western animation, just by how the characters look. Foster's has Anime influences, but its own unique style, that I would not want to see changed, and I definately would not want the characters' personalities to change, or their voices. Those are perfect. This whole "Foster's As Anime" thing sorta reminds me of that guy on another forum who's always suggesting using the voices of various hip-hop and rap celebs to do the character's voices, and adding a soundtrack of hardcore rap, basically turning the show into another hip-hop/gansta rap-oriented thing. Aren't there enough of those on MTV?

Too many. This has got to be one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard of. The voice actors are part of the show's charm; why on Earth would anybody even think about replacing them?

He wasn't even talking about anime.... or quoting you, for that matter.

Anyways, I do like anime, but I don't want Foster's to become one. The PPG anime seems pretty pointless to me; the girls are no longer sisters, they've got completely different names, they weren't "created" from scratch and are merely three normal people wo had nothing to do with each other until they got superpowers. I just.... don't get it.

Very well, since I'm sensing a crash. :D

My mind is blank.

taranchula 01-08-2007 07:21 PM

Um how about....oh I don't know.... What do you think is Wilt's favorite sports drink?

If I had to venture a guess, he just seems like a Gatorade guy to me. :D

BlooCheese 01-08-2007 08:40 PM

NEVER. He must like Powerade much more. ;)

Wilt is pretty "Old Skool", so I would go with the Gatorade, since it was the first sports drink to be on the market. It would be in keeping with his shoes and socks style, that's for sure. I don't drink either(unless I'm really sick and my blood sugar is crashing and I can't keep anything else down), so I am not endorsing anything because *I* happen to like it.

GATORATE.

Subzeroace 01-09-2007 10:44 AM

Yes, I agree with Gatorade, now what flavor would he like...? I really like fruit punch myself and thats red... So maybe he likes that too? But theres also the strawberry ice flavor, and thats clear but it has red on the label and Strawberry's are also red... Hmmm, what do you guys think?

pitbulllady 01-09-2007 10:54 AM

Thought of this: We all know how Wilt's brief stint as "MC" for the Annual Tri-County Imaginary Friend Pageant and Talent Contest went in "Hiccy Burp", and apparently THAT was a big improvement over the previous year's debacle. Most of us-myself included-have just concluded that Wilt probably suffers from the most common phobia, that of speaking or performing in public. However, most people who suffer from that have difficulty doing ANYTHING in public, and that would include playing any sort of sports, where you also have an audience. Obviously, Wilt had no trouble with that at all, as seen in Good Wilt Hunting. I have to wonder, then, if his behavior in "Hiccy Burp" was more the result of his fear of screwing up and disappointing the others, a fear that resulted, of course, from his 30-year burden of guilt over what had happened with Jordan and the game against Foul Larry and his creator. We now know that a lot of what we've come to think of as Wilt's "default" behavior, most notably his frequent apologies, his asking "is that OK?" and his unwillingness to stand up to anyone, stems from that incident. Wilt has been so overtaken with guilt, that he's more or less vowed never to hurt anyone or disappoint anyone or let anyone else down ever again, which of course, is an impossible undertaking. Most of us also know that the more you worry about screwing up, the more likely you are to do just that! Do y'all suppose that Wilt's on-stage antics in "Hiccy Burp" were the result of a real fear of public appearances/speaking/performing, or due more to his hang-ups about letting the others down, and if the latter, do you think he'd do much better the next time around(if given a chance, of course), now that he hopefully will have resolved some of the guilt issues that he's harbored for the past 30 years?

Vampyre 01-09-2007 12:47 PM

That's a really good point ya know. I personally beleive taht is indeed a fear of letting someone down. And while I was reading your post I came to see that perhaps Mr herriman, Eduardo and Coco nagging him about it and reminding him how bad it was didn't really help. At times it's best to forget about the past, because form what we've heard what happened the previous year at teh pageant was pretty terrible, and must have been absolutely humiliating for Wilt.

I remember last year I had to get up in front of my whole school and sing while another girl I know played the keyboard. it was my job to not only sing but to turn the pages, and i forgot to turn the page, so I got a little ahead of the song, then I had to go back turn page and repeat the last few words. This through me completely off, so i lost where I was on the page and forgot the words. So now, I cringe everytime I see the recording my parents made, but they tell me to watch it anyway. So now, I always worry about singing in front of crowds.

With Wilt, I'm sure that reminding him of what happened last year made him panic more, because as he would walk on stage he would start getting these nagging voices in his head going "Do NOT screw up!" or something, then that leads to the year before's happenings. Even though Wilt is probably the most optimistic character I have ever heard of, he can still be rather pessimistic about him self, leading him to slip, then panic about slipping and then getting everything wrong.

So I beleive it wasn't just Wilt's need to please, but the fact that although they were only doing it for the best, his friends kept on nagging him.

antgirl1 01-09-2007 02:43 PM

They nagged him like that because they didn't want him to screw up again. But apparently, no matter how much he tried, practiced, even in front of Bloo, he screwed up again.

Stage fright is what you people probably mean.

I'm tending to think that way too, that it was more a fear of messing up and disappointing the others, and perhaps reflecting badly on Foster's, than it was an actual case of stage fright. Wilt is such an outgoing individual that it's difficult to believe he'd simply be afraid of talking or performing in front of a crowd. With him, it was more like he was thinking, "I can't mess up, 'cause I will be letting everyone at Foster's down if I do, and they'll hate me just like my boy does". The more he worried about messing up, the worse he DID mess up, though apparently, the others thought it was because he'd failed to study and memorize his lines.

I can only imagine the anguish he must have felt, added to what he was already harboring in secret, about his "performances" on stage both years as MC of the pageant, feeling that he'd once again let someone down who was depending on him.

Man, I wish I could be more like Wilt. What a wonderful guy. I think most shy and nervous guys aspire to be more like Wilt, not the character himself, but what he stands for.

I'm sure that Wilt DOES dream, since even animals like rats and lizards exhibit REM(Rapid Eye Movement)sleep patterns, which are normally associate with dreaming. The nature of his dreams is anyone's guess. People tend to have dreams that are based on past experiences, or upcoming important events, although their dreams can be so abstract as to be nearly impossible to pin down their origin/cause. Wilt has been harboring a lot of really negative emotions stemming from his own guilt and physical pain he's been though, pent up inside, so it would not surprise me if he'd been tormented by some really horrendous nightmares. It's kinda surprising that he is able to easily fall asleep at all, for that matter, given what must have been on his mind when he went to bed. You can hide unpleasant thoughts and put them aside during the day by staying active, mentally and physically, but at night they are more difficult to deal with. Like most people, he probably does not recall most of his dreams, though, and has those "out there" dreams that he can't explain, just like we sometimes do.

One of the things I noticed about one of the screen caps you posted, the one showing Wilt asleep, is that he had his arm hanging off the bed, and slept right at the very edge of the bed. I've read that people who often sleep like this are subconciously trying to escape from something, and extending that arm or a leg out over the edge of the bed indicates that they are trying to pull themselves away from something unpleasant, or that they're reaching out for help beyond their everyday existance in dealing with a problem. That would make sense, given Wilt's past, wouldn't it? I hope that he can finally discard some of that burden of guilt and self-loathing he's secretly harbored, now that the secret isnt' secret anymore, and he knows his creator forgives him and cares for him still, though it's got to be hard to break habits that have been 30 years in developing.

My nightmares usually associate with video games of some kind, even though I love them to death. I mean by, game consoles/disks that explode when the console is on but you're not using it for like, 5 minutes. Or even ones that if you get a game over, it's meant to freak you out. Makes no sense at all. O_o

Dreams CAN make no sense. Same can go with a character's dream. It could be what you were thinking about/eating right before bed.

I too sometimes end up in a position like that, but I have no clue why. I'm not trying to escape from anything; I just end up waking in that position.

Invader Bloo 01-20-2007 06:55 PM

Wilt's dreams must be about him screwing up because all he says in his sleep is "Sorry,sorry,sorry".:D
