Yes, fighting is always going to be a part of friendship. I've realized that I actually know very little about the friends that I don't fight with, so arguing with people comes with knowing them well, I guess. But there comes a time when too much fighting is, well, just too much. Like I said somewhere before, it would be like those girls at school who are constantly fighting over nothing. They say they'll never talk to each other again, but the next day, they're friends again. Then they argue some more, and the cycle repeats itself. And those two girls never even have a moment of friendship. It makes you wonder how they even became friends. But Mac and Bloo haven't gone that far yet. So nevermind.

Mac still is friends with Wilt, Coco, Eduardo, Goo, & probally the rest of then house. He could just ignore Bloo & still come there.

Despite all of Bloo's shortcomings, I honestly CANNOT see Mac IGNORING Bloo and coming to Foster's just to see the others. After all, any other kid would have left Bloo long ago (more then likely) because he can be more than difficult when dealing with him.
If anything, Mac would maybe try to end the friendship and move on, trying his best to keep Bloo from getting too upset about it.

Honestly though, none of these theories work well, I don't get any kind of sense that any such thing would happen.
I can see them being like Herriman/Madame Foster in so many ways, and nothing else seems to fit. :):bloogrin

Mac and Bloo will be best friends forever and ever and that's all there is to it. Kageri has spoken!

Even when they're dead.:)

True, but that would defeat the whole purpose of the series and why he goes to the house in the first place. Yes, he is friends with everyone else, but the reason he keeps going there day after day is because of Bloo. If it wasn't for Bloo, he wouldn't go there nearly as often (or so I think).

Again, while they fight quite a bit, I honestly can't see them ever ending their friendship. It would just seem so....pointless.

Mac is only cool because he imagined bloo

Hey, I think Mac's cool on his own too....

Darn right! Mac's a great character all by himself, but he really does work better when he's with Bloo since they both enhance the other's personalities and actions.

I beg to differ. :macwor:

yeah....................................







no.

I find this statement EXTREMELY disrespectful and ignorant. Mac has infinitely more worth than just "Bloo's creator". His personality is the perfect balance to Bloo's, and the show wouldn't be same without the two together.

Of course, I also think Mac is a great character on his own. He appeals a lot more to me than the usual 'toon kid protagonist.

I agree completely. I normally don't find kid protagonists in cartoons to be very interesting or complex, but Mac is just so... likeable. And it's kind of refreshing to see a little boy actually voiced by a guy.

The great thing about Mac is that he's one of the few kids (in animated or "real life" TV) who's actually a KID. He's smart, but not an annoying little know-it-all, kind and respectful of others, but every now and then capable of acting like a snotty little punk...in other words, the way that most kids actually are, rather than the way they're usually depicted, either as miniature adults or as miniature gangstas. Mac rocks! :)

You realize, of course, that Bloo wouldn't seem anywhere near as cool or funny if he didn't have Mac to play off of. While it's entertaining to watch Bloo annoy other people, the only one who really compliments him is Mac.

See Voxxyn and kageri's posts. They basically said what I think, so it would be redundant to repeat it.

As do I. Mac is a great kid, Bloo or no Bloo, and a definite cut above most of the kids on other shows, cartoon or real.

No.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Mac doesn't need Bloo to be cool. The kid's awesome all by himself. Sure, he and Bloo complement each other, but that doesn't mean that he's only cool because he created Bloo. That's like saying ice cream is only good with hot fudge when in reality, ice cream is good all by itself. Or maybe my taste buds have gone haywire.
Mac is what Bloo isn't, and he also is what Bloo is. Mac can be the "voice of reason among raving lunatics" or the crazy gimme-more-sugar-let's-break-rules-now type of kid. If Mac is only cool because he created Bloo, but when you consider that Bloo came from Mac's imagination, then wouldn't Bloo only be cool because Mac created him?
But no, that is not true either. Mac and Bloo are both great characters by themselves.

in a word, agreed. mac is a great character all on his own. and, as bloocheese said, bloo wouldnt exist without mac. so if mac is only cool because he imagined bloo, then bloo is only cool because he was imagined by mac. which is also not true, but i wont get into that.

That's gotta be one of the worst responses I've heard from a character. Sorry, dude, but I have to strongly disagree. He's one of the most complexed characters in the show, and without Mac, the show wouldn't be the same.

So true.

Mac is a great and dare I say *brilliant* kid. Hell, I just hope my kids will grow up to be as brill as he is!
Still, without Bloo, he would be a total nerd and whatnot and thus needs someone as anti-socal/selfish as Bloo to complement him, making the two of them a team.

You can see how Bloo can be decent when he wants to due to Mac, or how Mac can be a total meanie if Bloo incites enough insane anti-social behaviour in Mac 8D

IMHO those to are quite the pair, and what makes Foster's worth watching. :)

Very true. I think the frienship between Bloo and Mac is one of the most endearing things about the series, and one of the reasons I keep watching it (not the only reason, granted, but a large one). I could honestly watch episodes involving the two just hang out for days.

THis has been on my mind a bit, though. While we're almost always treated to the intelligent side of Mac, usually due to the fact that he (as well as Frankie) acts as the bastion of sanity in what could otherwise be a (albeit fun and safe) madhouse, we very rarely get a glimpse of his creative side (which we know exists). One of the only real instances I can recall us getting a glimpse of this side is "Make Believe It Or Not", which is one of the reasons I liked that episode so much.

Really, I'd just like to get to see his creative side more often.

agreed. we dont see that much. its nice to have mac as the resident brains of the group, but we need more of him using his brain outside of the box.

I agree, I'm sure he's a very creative boy. :)

I don't like how the writer(s) of "One False Movie" wrote Mac as being a theif. It doesn't fit his character real well. :/

I don't really blame Mac for that. IMO, Bloo was so much of a utter bastard that I would've HATED the episode were it not for the surrounding funny parts. I was almost rooting for Mac to snap and smack/strangle Bloo.

(Before I get pegged as being "a treehugger who always wants everything to be happy": I love Bloo and think he's a great and funny character, but I also believe that he CAN be too much of a jerk sometimes, which is what he was in that episode.)

I thought the best part of OFM was Tom Hanks muffled lines!8D But Bloo was overbearing in that episode. I think it was just a lesson of not giving into peer pressure (Bloo hinting to Mac to sell Maddam Fosters reliks) and to not have someone else do the work for you and you take all the credit. That or don't give Bloo creative licance.8D

Yeah Mac should of jsut took Bloo's script & fired him.:)

yeah but then the episode would have been over. that would dissapoint some fans (i honestly liked that episode)

I too enjoyed that episode a great deal, and it wasn't like Bloo totally forced Mac into stealing things and selling them to raise money.

All Bloo did was state that the movie was over budget and they needed more money to continue, how Mac got his hands on said money was irrelevant to Bloo just as long as the money was there. Granted it was all Bloo's fault that they went over budget in the first place so you know there's that.

Yes, that episode is in my top 10 episodes (mainly because of the movie itself). But Mac stole which is not in his character IMHO.

I kinda like that it showed a not-so-saintly side to him, even though he clearly felt bad about it (which is still IC).

Mac does have a wild side to him, the creators even said so. I remember Craig or someone at the Foster's section at Comic Con this year (saw this on youtube), was asked how someone as sweet as Mac could create such a on and off jackass like Bloo.

They said that Mac has "a little bit of Bloo" in him. Mac has a wild side and he can be just as crazy, crafty, wacky, and naughty as Bloo can. Mac's shown this in "Bye Bye Nerdy", "Squeeze the day", "Neighbor Pains", "Partying is such Sweet Soiree" and the AWFUL (in my opinion) "Only have surprise for you".

Mac's a great kid and I think it's even greater that he has a bit of a nutty and wild side to him just like Bloo does. The good thing is, Mac at least knows how to hold it in more so then Bloo does.

I think he is always getting bloo into trouble

Bloo gets himself into trouble. He just drags Mac along for the ride.

That's what friends are for! xD

For those interested, a homemade Mac plush has become available on eBay:

I think this is going to end up costing a fortune. :)

Awesome, though Bloo is too small. He's around Mac's size in the show.

Imagine a full size Wilt or Eduardo plushie! XP

'sides scale and proportions are optional in the Foster's universe.

Mac is very cool to me. He is nice and smart. I also like Mac's wild side in "Partying is Such Sweet Soiree" and "If Only I Had Suprise For You". It shows that Mac has "a little bit of Bloo" in him. Mac is lucky to have friends at Foster's. I have friends at school and at Deviantart, however I don't have many friends at this forum. I wanted to be respected just as everyone here in this community. I sure Mac has a lot of respect coming to Foster's to see Bloo. Mac is really a cool and respectful character to have in this show.

Not even the Wilt I made was lifesize, he was only 8 feet tall. I'd make an Ed but I don't have room, lol.
