I'm sure they're okay with that. Excuse me while I go stand behind this brick wall...

;) ;D

Tis ok, as long as you don't hate him to the point of killing him outta sheer hatred. (and yes, there is one) Then the fangirls will make your life a living ****. XD

Nah. It's impossible for me to hate a character THAT much. Well...save for Elizabeth Swann from PotC...I hate her character so much I wanted to see her killed off in Dead Man's Chest. Since they didn't do it there, I'm rooting for the third XD

*lovesyou*
Just a quick edit so all this wonderful space won't go to waste: I hated this movie. I really did. Davey Jones was the only one worth my seven bucks (with student discount!)

Wow, and I'm not going cuz it's too **** long. I mean, 2 hours and 30 minutes? I got bored in the middle of the FIRST one, because of that. I mean,I just couldn't "get into" it, unlike Harry Potter.

---Now onto the ontopic stuff---

People could be onto something, you know, getting all hyper over Wilt's movie, and then when finally seeing it (which will be in about 2 more months) it turns out like "Imposter's home for um...Make-em-up Pals" did...crap. Crap, dookie, poo, waste of time, a "I WAITED A YEAR FOR THIS?!?!"

I'm actually afraid about that it'll hit me like that too - and that takes a lot for me, I'm easily amused. So, if I think it's really bad, you'll think this'll be the WORST thing ever shown on television since the history of television.

I'm also wondering this, too: Are they gonna quit making Foster's episodes after the movie is shown? Will it become "off-the-air"? Will it still at least show the re-runs of other episodes? Or will they get rid of Foster's completely? Powerpuff girls lasted, like what, 5 years? And after it's movie, they make a few more episodes before the final episode for the season fanale, called "See me, Feel me, Gnome".

And now, Foster's is getting a movie (the pilot doesn't count), only 2 years running, and after that, is that wonderful show just gonna die out...just like that? I also worried about after the SpongeBob Movie was released to theators (at that time I loved SpongeBob, before Foster's came along) that will SpongeBob, 5 years running, will die out? Not really. But still. Foster's has only two blissful fanful years, and is it gonna just be gone forever afterwards? If it's true, I'm shocked. :wiltshock:

As Wilt would say, THAT's not ok!

I enjoyed it...not as much as I had hoped. I was a huge fan of the first movie so I was skeptical about this one. Usually sequels ruin the characters and the movie and it turns out I was right. They messed up Jack's character and Elizabeth was as dull as ever save for a few funny lines here and there. I think the only character who improved at all was Will. PotC fans don't give him the credit he deserves. He sucked in the first movie but he came back fighting in the second and I think was even better than Jack Sparrow. IMO people are too blinded by the Jack/Elizabeth pairing to notice Will was a great character in DMC. They are just dead set on hating him. Will was the only reason I stayed awake durning it.

All in all I wish they hadn't done the second movie and I'm not looking forward to the third.

Ok now that that essay is done with, back on topic.

Believe me, I'm probably as much concerned, if not more so, than anyone else that Good Wilt Hunting will wind up being a disappointment, concentrating too much on the humor, and not enough on other emotional elements, or being one of those episodes where someone just gets "dumped on" for no particular reason, like, as you said, "Imposter's Home...". Still, I'm holding out high hopes for it, so I guess now the onus is upon Craig and Co. to deliver. As I'm sure that they keep tabs on us here at Never Forgotten, I'm equally sure that they will make every possible effort to make Wilt's movie the entertainment event of the year!

That said, the answer to whether Foster's will end with the airing of Good Wilt Hunting is "NO". While there seems to be some debate as to whether or not that movie is the conclusion to Season 4, or the beginning of Season 5, Craig has already stated that Cartoon Network has approved a SIXTH season of Foster's, so there will definately be additional episodes after the movie. We know, from the Comic-Con interview, that there is the episode in which Bloo gets stuck at a fabric shop with Madame Foster while everyone else goes to the fair, and there's the band episode, neither of which have even been given a name yet, so we still have many more to look foreward to.

Boy, is THAT a relief! :D

By the way, that's a really cute Wilt icon, he's being attacked by a...PUPPY! XD

Thanks for the comment on the icon/avatar. I guess I need to put the original up on DA. I made this on copier paper during class at one of my schools, using crayon and Crayola markers-not the most sophisticated of art supplies, but all we have available on my current budget(the school district refuses to pay for art supplies, so the teachers have to buy 100% of student art supplies with our own money, which sucks). It actually shows Wilt being "kissed" by an adult red-nosed Pit Bull, and I originally intended it to be a sort of anti-BSL statement, to show that Pit Bulls are NOT all blood-thirsty killer monsters with 666 branded onto their foreheads as the news media would have everyone believe.

pitbulllady

Oh, man... as a Frankie fanatic--and somebody who is still somewhat sore about "Imposter's Home"--I hope you gals won't end up "betrayed" by the Wilt movie. I'm really looking forward to it as well.

From the way the schedule is, with 8 half-hour episodes of Season 4 aired and 3 left--and with each previous season having 13 episodes(10 for Season 1 with the three-part pilot, 13 for Season 2, and 13 for Season 3 with "A Lost Claus" being a separate Holiday special), and with the movie being an hour long(two episodes' worth)... I guess it'll be the Season 4 closer. That is, unless the unnamed "fair" and "band" episodes air before November, which would probably make it the Season 5 premier.

Yes, I would comment on it on DA, but it's being a butt to comment. It's cutting off the text bar, and there's no submit button, AND when you press enter, it just starts a new line. Pathetic.

Another thing, if the answer is "NO", then they HAVE to keep Wilt in the show, no matter what happens. Then he HAS to still live at Foster's, otherwise the show'll not be the same as it was when he was there. I mean, without Wilt around, the "puzzle" of Foster's isn't "complete", one piece is missing. To me, he "completes" the home. So, if he's gonna be gone for good, the show'll "jump the shark" right after "Good Wilt Hunting". Even people who DON'T like Wilt may feel that the show just "isn't the same" after he's gone.

"Frankie My Dear" was a very good episode, and Wilt made no appearance in it at all, so I think the show can work without him. Don't take that as an attack on the tall red dude; it's not. I'd miss him, and it wouldn't be the same show without him, but it would still work for a lot of people, me included.

I agree with Cassini. However, I don't believe Wilt will depart from the show after "Good Wilt Hunting." I can't see that happening. As soon as November arrives, we'll soon find out.

Wilt was the reason I started watching the show in the first place, and I'd stop watching if he left, seriously. I know that "Frankie My Dear" worked without him, BUT that was just ONE episode, and while single episodes can exist with or without certain main characters, to just delete that character from the entire show would be a disaster. "The Big LeBlooski" was a very funny and enjoyable episode for me, even though Frankie did not appear in it, not even once, and "Infernal Slumber" was even better, despite the fact that neither Frankie, Madame Foster or Mr. Herriman made an appearance in THAT episode. However, this does not by any means indicate that the show as a whole could go carry on just as well if Frankie, Madame Foster or Mr. Herriman were removed from the cast, and I really think that the quality would suffer to the extent that I'd still stop watching it. I would certainly NOT make any claim that the show would be just as good, or that it would "work for me", if Frankie left, based on a few episodes in which she did not appear, and I by no means am as fond of Frankie as some of the male forum members, even though she is my second favorite character.

Besides, if Wilt DID leave the show, Frankie would not be far behind, because without his help around the house and running errands, she would not be able to handle the stress and would soon break down. I don't even think that she has ever stopped and thought about just how indispensible Wilt is around the house.

pitbulllady

I don't think Wilt would ever be plucked from the cast and the Foster's Five would be indeed lacking without him, but I think the show could go on -- except maybe not, because 75% of the show's fanbase would stop watching. Also, one of the things that I love about Foster's is that there isn't really a "main" character (well, Mac and Bloo are sorta the focus, but you guys know I'm biased), and Bloo, Ed, Wilt, Coco, Frankie and so on are all equally important. Even if I don't like Wilt as much as I like Bloo, he still pulls his weight as a major character.

But if Bloo disappeared, I'd be singing a different tune (like maybe that one song from Titanic), so I guess I can't really talk.

Yeah, the show definitely wouldn't be the same if Wilt was taken out of the cast. For one thing, I've seen several people that absolutely HATED Foster's STILL say that they thought that Wilt was a good character, and that has to be saying a lot if someone that hates the show altogether is saying that. However, even if Wilt ever did happen to get adopted and leave Foster's I could still see them working it out to where he made a few appearances on it now and then. For example, say that he began to miss his friends at Foster's, his new kid notices that he misses them and tells him that they can go visit them every now and then. Although that would probably bump him down from a major character to a supporting character, it's still better than nothing, right? ;)

But I don't really think we have anything to worry about because for some reason I'm 99 percent sure that he won't leave the show after GWH, anyway.


You know, you've got a point there. It really WAS a very good episode with great humor and interesting characters even without Wilt. Bloo's Orlando get-up really had me rolling! 8D But like PBL said, that was just one episode. It would be hard to tell what the others would be like without him.

Now as for me, Wilt, Coco, Eduardo AND Bloo were ALL the ones that actually got me watching this show. I don't think it'd be the same if any of them left the cast, really.

Wilt won't leave.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope. -in denial-

GHASP! WHAT IF ALL THIS GOO STUFF IS LEADING UP TO GOO TAKING WILT'S PLACE?! -freaks out-

I like Goo and all, but Wilt is... irreplaceable. If he leaves, I'll send hate mail to my hero, Lauren Faust. It'll break my heart, but the show can't work without Wilt. :'(

If that's the case I'm shutting off the TV and spending more time with my Sims.

No but seriously, Wilt won't leave. It doesn't make any sense. It wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. And if Goo replaces him, I'll be a very sad panda indeed.

I really, seriously do not think that the show's creators would get rid of Wilt, or even cut way back on his appearances and reduce him to a supporting character who just pops in every now and then. They obviously know how popular Wilt is, and not just that, but how devoted his fans are, and that to get rid of him would be cutting off their noses to spite their own faces, so to speak. It would certainly not benefit the show, nor help the show maintain its own popularity, to eliminate a major character. I'd thought of the possibility that they could create a "spin-off" show about Wilt, but again, that would hurt Foster's, and break up a group dynamic that works really well, so it would not benefit anyone in the long run.

pitbulllady

He's been in the house so long, longer than Frankie's been there.

ok,
I just got back from my three day sickness!
and THIS is what I see!
:'( -sniffle-
ya don't gotta be like that!

I agree that Wilt's movie better be more emotional then funny, I want to see both, but a pure let-down would make me mad at the Foster's crew....lol, nothing like pressure huh? We fans are really prodding them here...::giggle::
Most of all, I want some clue as to what happened to Wilt, whether it was accident, self-inflicted, or an act of cruelty. I don't even need to know the whole story, I just want to know which one it is. (Because that mystery has been killing me ever since Foster's started. lol)

yep.
my thoughts exactly.
but now I'm freaked out!
my paranoia's kicking in!

Me too. Maybe we should take a poll, see what other people think happened.

I don't know where the idea of Wilt departing after GWH came from, but I'm 100% positive that Wilt will be around for the remainder of the series. If he were to leave or gets adopted, it would probably be at the end of the series, but I'm not really expecting that, either. I hate to say this, but the crew would have to be nuts to send off the Wilt Man this early.

Hate mail isn't the way to go, and it's immature. Plus, our endorsements go out the window. I don't see the crew getting rid of him, I just don't.

Nah.. they would have to WANT Foster's to fail as a show if they moved Wilt to even being in occasional episodes. From what I've seen, his fan base is much too huge to become a secondary character. I'm personally not worried in the slightest, and if anything, hopeful that Good Wilt Hunting will still leave space for even more character development.

Don't be fearful, be hopeful. Obviously Craig/Lauren are NOT idiots, so I don't think they would do something as suicidal as pulling Wilt from the show.

Yea, and the last thing we want is to put them off the show with a lot of flames :'(

Yeah, there's no way. How many cartoons are out there that take out a main character, let alone one so popular?

Nope, no worries here.

About "Good Wilt Hunting"... I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a bluff... like, we don't get to know too many things!
(I just imagined scenes of Wilt losing his arm... under ANY circumstances, could you imagine THAT in Foster's?!)

Yeah, I don't know how graphic it will be allowed to get for a cartoon. But as long as we find out what happens, I'll be happy.

Are the 75% of all Foster's fans Wilt fans? LOL!

25% - Bloo

35% - Wilt

20% - Mac

5% - Eduardo (sorry, I know there's more than that)

15% - Coco

Make a chart! 8D

Andmaybe they don't want us to know because it might be more dreadful than we think. :D

Oh no! You forgot frankie! *flees the impending explosion*

What I'm hoping is, Wilt just tells the story. They don't have to show anything. I just want to know, and get that closure, so to speak.

Yeah, that would be sensible, since Wilt CAN(unlike his canine inspiration)talk about what happened to him. Not only that, but he really NEEDS to talk about it, since continuing to bottle that past up inside him is obviously NOT doing him any good. I can see him telling his story to someone else, interspersed with brief, discreet flashbacks, and finally getting all this off his chest, so to speak.

pitbulllady

Maybe they'll have Wilt tell the tale of his past, by sitting on a park bench and talk to whomever just happens to be sitting beside him, just like Forrest Gump.

I could definetely see that, because I think actually SHOWING the violence toward Wilt (or any other character for that matter) would be uncharacteristic to the innocence of the show, AND a little much to put on CN.

This brings me to question, though, who would he tell it to? Frankie, maybe? She seems like she would be the most compassionate while still understanding his strong feelings toward it and not asking TOO much. I don't really see the park bench thing, because if he won't even talk about it with his trusted friends, I don't think he'd venture to converse with a total stranger about it, especially if he got scarred in a way that he considered "demeaning" (I mean, whoever did it to him might have warped his mind to think he deserved it in some way, especially if it was an out-of-porportion "punishment" for something he might have done or had blamed on him). Plus, he's the type to not want to trouble other people with his problems (even though the poor guy seriously needs to talk about it!) What do you guys think?

Someone has mentioned it before and I'll mention it again: Maybe the most trusting person might BE a stranger, like a tharipist. (I know I spelt that wrong)

Probably Bloo or Mac, seeing how they're the main characters....

Well, it wouldn't be eduardo, or coco, becuase they're just not the type of person you tell stuff to. (or cheese. "and then there was a field with sheep in it..." "Sheep? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!")

Goo probably wouldn't work. Mac would be interesting but it's also possible they might use one of the other characters.
