Originally, I loved Goo. Her extremely hyper attitude provided some great comedy for her debut episode; and as somebody who is a social outcast, I found the ending to be genuinely touching. Her appearance in "The Big Picture" was a nice surprise, and it seemed like a teaser for what I thought would be her next big role in "Make-Believe It Or Not".
Unfortunately, that wasn't her case. And unfortunately, each appearance since has kinda only erased the reasons I liked her in the first place. She went from a loveable outcast I could somewhat relate with to a depressingly accurate representation of the bullies that tormented me in "Neighbor Pains". And then there's how she's become a bit of a blatant deus-ex machina "solve the problem at the end" character, which is a bit of a slap in the face to the entire main cast.
I'm kinda mixed about "Make-Believe It Or Not". I'm a huge videogame fanatic, and I'm looking forward to the references and parodies they're planning to make... but I'm also fearing that it'll have Goo hogging the spotlight and making the characters we've known and loved from the beginning look like fools.
So I guess I'm a moderate?
