Not the point. The point was the gesture of the action, this can sound like over analyzing if you want but it's actually quite simple: shutting a door on someone's face only has ONE answer. Bloo shut the door on Mac and let him get chased around.

Even if there was no chance of actually helping Mac, the fact of the matter is the gesture wasn't given back and above all else, to his best friend. If you ever saw the "Mummy" movie with Brendan Fraiser, very similar thing happened towards the end of the movie.

This guy Benny was a back stabbing, theiving, wormy little snitch who was once Fraiser's best friend in the movie but back stabbed him like 50 times. In the end, the pyramid is closing and Benny is trying to escape as the walls start to close down.

Despite all the back stabbing, despite the fact he was BETRAYED, shot at, insulted, ditched, and left for dead at every waking turn by this guy Benny, Fraiser still extends his hand out to help the guy out of the tomb. It closes, and he fails.

But....the gesture was still made, the attempt was still given. Bloo didn't and that's what bothers me. That, and the fact that like I said before about "Emancipation", this was an interesting idea....I just didn't think it was a very funny idea.

The imagination thing in the beginning with the word fighting was good, but after a while, it dragged on really long and they kept talking so fast it was hard just to keep up and get the whole idea of the "joke".
