'Bout time I posted in this thread.
Wilt is my favorite character in Foster's for a variety of reasons. I love everything about him, his optimism, his huge white smile, his adorable constant apologizing, his maturity in comparison to a lot of the other IFs (I've never been a huge fan of the more childish, chaos-loving characters like Bloo and Cheese), his kindness, his strengths, his faults, everything. He was always the character who intrigued me the most even before I started watching the show. Somehow, I already knew he would be my favorite. And I was right. I think one of the major reasons I like him so much is because he's so nice and considerate of other's feelings, something that seems harder and harder to find in the real world. We need more people like Wilt - I think the world would become a much better place. But anyway, I also like him because of the slight air of mystery that surrounds him. Sure, we now know what happened to his arm and eye, and why he's so scared of letting people down or stepping on their feelings, but we still don't know much about his life with Jordan outside the basketball court, or what happened to him during all those years between the game against Foul Larry and Wilt's arrival at Foster's. I've always had a tendancy to gravitate towards characters that seem to have that element of mysteriousness to them. It makes me want to learn more, y'know?
Sooo yeah. I love the tall red guy, and I love to see him being loved. I just wish he could get more episodes devoted to him.
