Goo
 

Don't you just love Goo. I personally think she's very creative and in many ways very smart. I feel sorry for her though the fact that she doesn't have many friends, i'm glad Mac etc is hers. Goo rocks!

FostersFriend :D

Wow!!!
 

I'm thrilled- Goo was moved to the main character thread!!!

It's about time...

I love Goo... she bugs me sometime, but she's basically the way I was when I was her age.

Well, add the beginnings of sarcasm, and then you've got me.

I'm a big Mac/Goo fan...

Any other takers???

Goo is really cool, but she does seem to be overused since her first apperance. I loved her in "The Big Cheese" though. That was funny!

She's definitely getting overused. I like her in small doses, but not in every episode.

I agree that she is overused here and there. But the same goes to Cheese. As much as I love him Cheese is being overused aswell.

Gooey Cheese yay! 8D

w00t! Goo's in the Main Characters thread! =D

Neeways, yes, I love Goo. Intently. Passionately. ...lovingly... XD

goo is great, I do think she's slightly over used but not too much in a way that I'd want it to stop...does that make sense?

goo's my home girl

Yeah. She's a great character but not a staple of the show, you know? Short relevant appearances are better than whole episode-long ones, usually.

Y'see, I love Goo, I really do. But I think big appearences such as in Go Goo Go are her thing, and not little ones like in the past few episodes.

When she's just "in where the writers can fit her", she seems slightly obnoxious, and there really isn't a point to her being there. However, when she makes a big appearence that DOES effect something, she is good.

And I'm not saying that every episode should be about Goo. I just think that she should either have a big enough appearence that it does something, or she shouldn't be in at all.

In my opinion.

-Marty 8-)

I understand, that's why I put 'relevant' in there. It has to be a part of the storyline or usually it dosn't add much if anything to the character or episode.

(*rereads*)

Oops. That's the second time this week someone has posted something that I missed, and I got the info wrong...

Sorry!!!

I know I said this on the old board, but does anyone ever wonder if there are any dark characteristics to Goo???

-Marty 8-)

I dunno. See, Goo is the type of happy person that really dosn't have much to her, from what I've seen, but she does have some underlying motiviations. She's defintely(sp?) fixated on the idea of getting friends adopted. But darker parts? I don't think so... Any trouble she causes is very likely to be unintentional or just done without thinking, kind-of like Bloo in that respect.

And it doesn't see, like there are any new episodes MAINLY based around Goo coming up this season.

This is *one* episode coming up focusing around Goo.

It's called "Make-Believe it or Not", and Goo accidently creates the villains from a video games. =O But I think it promises to be a good'un.

As for Goo's "dark" side, meaning of course what's inside of her that makes her a 3-dimensional character, I wonder about it as well. She has some insecurities, but those seem to be cleared up in her first appearance. I'm hoping we'll see some sort of clue as to aspirations, some sort of problem going on, or anything showing her full character in her future appearances.

I agree...

In "Make Believe it or Not", we'll apparently get to see her nightmares... We'll get to see what she's afraid of, in other words (although, we already sort of know about the video game thing)...

Of course, I could be wrong- I was TOTALLY wrong about the way "I Only Have Surprise For You" turned out.

I always ponder these things... I have a writer's mind, although they hardly ever get to be put on paper...

-Marty 8-)

I'm indifferent on Goo. It's tough to follow the stuff she says, and at times, she can be pretty annoying. At the same time, however, she may help this series grow some more. Know what I mean? The only appearance of Goo I didn't like was from "Neighbor Pains." I think Grey DeLisle does a great job to perform a character as wacky as Goo.

She may be "overused" as some say, but she's pretty much here to stay for a while.

Does anyone know how tall Goo is?

No, but I wonder if she's really that tall or if her boots just make her taller (I'm 4'11, and I made myself A LOT taller for the school play last year by wearing cowboy boots. I actually hit 5'3...).

Is she really tall, or is Mac just short? I'm guessing the former, because anytime we see kids they are usually about Mac's height.

-Marty 8-)

It's just that I dunno if she's older or something...

Hey, i'm 4'11 too!

The thing I don't like about Goo is that I don't think she does have more to her. She's just a hyper kid whose insecurities have never been mentioned since Go Goo Go. She seems pretty one-dimensional to me.

I'm sorry, but she talks too fast and too much.

Agreed, but unfortunately that's the way she is. :P

I dunno, it's one of her specific qualities... I never have any trouble understanding what she says, though.

She was annoying the first time I saw her and now they're making her into a main character. Unlike Cheese, she never grew on me. To me she's just annoying.

Yup. I feel the same. I don't hate her. I'm just not fond of her. If she makes an appearance in a show, good for her. If not, that's fine, too. (And good for me.)

i think goo is taller because when I was her age (around what, like 8...???) I was taller than a lot of boys my age, and yes mac is short, they make many jokes/insults especially bloo

Really? he is? I was that height when I was in like... fifth grade... He's 3'6, right? that's what the coco card said, I think.

I would say that she's at least 4' tall.

SHORT PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!! My squad leader in band last week pointed out that I'm a legal midget (*sighs*).

Now, I think Goo could have more than the annoying side we usually see... if the writers would attempt to see it that way, and not just stick her in the most willy nilly role they could find.

There's no point in having her just for the sake of having her, which is what I think is happening.

Ditto for Cheese, who gets on my nerves, as much as I love him.

-Marty 8-)

Goo is great, far better then Cheese...they just need to make sure they don't overdo it, and all will be fine. In other words, I like her but I don't want her to appear in every other episode. Let's stick to the stars when it comes to plots.

I think Goo's character design is cool and all, but I think she's way too overused! I find her annoying. When Mac told her off in Go Goo Go, I was like, "She STFU for once! Yaaaaaay!".

When she was crying at the end of Go Goo Go, I thought, "Your salty tears taste oh so sweet to me."

...Please don't hate me...

Ahhhhh... and I see we are split. Well, not everyone HAS to love the same character (people think I'm weird all the time because I'm not a Wilt fangirl)...

And that is the beauty of diversity.

But let us not turn this into a heated "Goo rocks! Goo sucks! Goo rocks! Goo sucks!" discussion.

And I think I'm biased.

Any Mac/Goo shippers here?

(*sees evil glares and then cowers to the dark corner of the forum*)

-Marty :-D

Tears of unfathomable sadness! Oh, yummy!

Okay, just kidding but I kind of thought the same thing. It made me love Mac even more, both because he snapped and because he apologized... although a tiny part of me wishes he hadn't apologized...

A large part of me wishes he hadn't apologized. :blooevil:
But then again, that would make Mac seem mean, so nevermind.

I totally agree with you. I think Goo has the potential of being a very deep character, but ONLY if the writers would attempt to see that. She's very colorful, creative, fun, outgoing, and helpful, but also a bit on the lonely side sometimes. If the writers would just look into those personality aspects of her character, they could end up getting something good. If they just keep throwing her into each episode with little reason and without building up her depth, then we have a one-dimensional character, sort of like we've got now.

Now, as some others have said, we need to keep the Goo sucks/Goo's awesome stuff out of the thread and try to look at her character in a more neutral way. For example, yes I do like Goo and I know that some others do as well, but I also don't have a problem with pointing out her flaws. I also know that some of you don't like her and that her constant chattering can get annoying (I'll admit, it can get to me at times too! XD) but just try to look past that and see her for her good qualities as well because she DOES have some, believe it or not. After all, the ones that do like her (including myself) were able to point out her flaws. Just try to think of her pluses as well as her minuses and you might not hate her as much. ;) But that's just me. So instead of just saying "Goo sucks" or "Goo rocks", try to look at her character for who she is in a neutral way; if you point out her strengths and her weaknesses, then who knows, maybe the writers will see what we're talking about and try to re-develop her character to where she becomes better and easier to relate to.

Ah, Cheese...as much as I love him, his constant screaming in "The Big Cheese" got a bit grating at times. XP

Grated Cheese? ;D ;D

Sorry, I had to say it. 8D

:o 8D Hehehe, nice one. ;)

I think one reason I can't just look at Goo neutrally is that she sort of ruined Foster's in Go Goo Go, created hundreds of IFs, forced the gang to sleep in the bus, and almost ended Mac's visits to Foster's forever. I don't know why, but I can't let it go. I think if I hadn't seen Go Goo Go, I wouldn't think of her as The Terror in Rainbow Form whenever I saw her. You see, I saw Infernal Slumber before Go Goo Go, and at that point in time, I just thought she was a nice little kid, maybe a bit crazy, but nice nevertheless. But after seeing Go Goo Go, my perspective of her was never quite the same. Maybe it'll change one day. Who knows? I do know that she has some good qualities and that if I forgot about what she did in Go Goo Go, I think I would come to like her and enjoy her existence, but as for now, things are looking down. Maybe you can help change that.

But didn't she redeem herself? She found and continues to find homes, good homes, for all the friends she created. She reworked the entire adoption process so each friend is kept track of (as Frankie said, before that adoption days were such a mess they never knew how many friends were adopted out or "just plain lost". That's pretty bad)
Sure she's annoying and talks too fast, but she's also really smart. And she's really put an effort into taking care of her creations, with great results.
