What Bloo did was completely careless and ignorant to Mac. They ran like their lives depended on it and even though we all know their lives didn't, Bloo still shut the door on him. You honestly think Mac would have done the same thing if sides were switched?

The panic thing can be taken into account, however it is REALLY hard to even take it into consideration when you consider the person's track record. Nearly every single thing Bloo has done has shown that this was more of him acting like HIM then a panic attack.

Just like he forgot about his friends for a video game in "Emancipation", just like he psychologically tortured Mac in "I Only have surprise" and put him on the spot in "Infernal Slumber" and yet again in "Bus the two of us". They all match up to the selfish attitude Bloo has about himself.

Now does this mean I hate Bloo? No. Does this mean he's the spawn of satan and has no good in him whatsoever? No. But, does a panic attack really make sense when his actions connect so easily to every other prank, insensitive, and selfish thing he's done in the past? I don't buy that.

What Bloo did here is not so amazingly different to what he has done in the past, which is exactly why I don't buy this panic attack theory. Sorry, but this is too familar and too similar to Bloo's past antics to seem panicky to me.
Read my post again. People helped AFTER the attacks happened, but I am talking about AT THE MOMENT. I wasn't excusing Bloo for his actions, but I do think he reacted the same way most of us would if our very lives were suddenly hanging in the balance, no matter the personality. I mean for god's sake, he was suddenly attacked for no apparent reason!

What happened in the rest of the episodes you mentioned, yes there was no excuse for those. That much I will give you.

And where did I say that you thought he was the spawn of satan or whatever? Where did anybody say that? You came up with that, not me or any of us.
