Frankie - Page 32 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Voxxyn · 10-05-2006, 06:47 PM

Mac's list in "Setting A President" was exactly where I got my inspiration for that Frankie/Bloo dialogue in my last post. Though I must admit I was confused by some of Mac's choices... particulary, "ruined Frankie's date". If you notice, I DIDN'T include that one amongst Frankie's list of bad days, because it makes absolutely no sense to me. It actually turned out very well in the end, because thanks to them "ruining" her date, she realized how much a loser Dylan was and who her TRUE friends were.

And yes, I do think Bloo is a "true friend" of Frankie. Because I'm sure that, very deep down in her heart, no matter how furious she gets with him or how much she delights at every opportunity to punish him--she cares much about him and wants him to remain at Foster's. Or at the very least, I think she realizes just how much Bloo means to Mac, and thus would never dare to try to break them up just to make her job slightly easier.

I think Frankie also deals with him mainly for Mac's sake. Frankie's problems mostly stem from just 2 imaginary friends, Bloo and Mr. Herriman and at least Herriman has a somewhat of moral code, even if he is anal rententive.

I think despite the fact that Dylan turned out to be an ass, the fact was that Bloo was putting Frankie on the spot and they really had no idea Dylan was a jerk. They went there to bug her because of there little crushes on Frankie.

So even though Dylan turned out to be a jerk, Bloo still crashed her date and made it difficult for her in that position. I think Mac was looking at it that way instead of the whole "the ends justify the means" point of view.

Yeah, seriously. If they hadn't "ruined" it, she probably would have wasted her time going out with him again.

I agree, I think Frankie does regard Bloo (huh-huh-huh... regard Bloo) as a friend, even if he makes her job harder. She gets stressed out, but she obviously loves being with/caring for the IFs, even the annoying ones.

I'm not saying that Dylan didn't need to be exposed, all I am saying is truthfully whether Frankie was dating a nice guy or a creep like Dylan, Bloo still ruined the date and it wasn't to expose Dylan.

I highly doubt Mac, the pizza guy, Bloo, or Prince Charming had any idea of what Dylan was like. Frankie was dating the guy and had no clue, odds are that they didn't know either.

I think she would have found out what Dylan was really like on her own, eventually. Bloo was acting in his own self-interest, nothing more, but I think the crush angle made it cute rather than just malicious.

True, but if you look at Frankie's expression during "Setting a President" when Mac ran off the list, you can tell she didn't really like what she was hearing.

I'm sure Frankie really care's for Bloo. You just help but like him as a character. It is obveously very differant haveing to live with him, but Frankie is a very careing woman. If my big sister has taught me ANYTHING it's this: No matter how much her three little brothers acted like monsters and drived her nuts, she still cared for us and even loved us. We're still family, and Bloo and Frankie are still (in a sence) family.
And I'm sure her tolerance and patiance for him also (don't hate me for saying this laydie's) stems from the fact that she is a girl. As a big sister, she is going to be less confrontational and be more compasionate. If she were a guy, she would be more likely to lash out and even consider hitting him (I know I would!

) to beat some common sence into him. But Frankie is too good a person to do that, and that's why I lover her. Ofcourse, she still manages to get her licks in on Bloo and the others. She's no damsel in distres.

True, and I don't blame her. Regardless of the outcome, he was still making a pest of himself and ruining her evening. I think she forgave him, but didn't forget it, either. It can't have been a fun night for her.

And all that is part of what sets her apart from so many other cartoon characters. It's her caring side, her commitment to the house and it's residents, that really makes her something special and not just another one-dimensional hottie. Even her seemingly low frustration threshold is endearing, as it makes her seem more real, more believable. I don't recall ever meeting anyone quite like Frankie Foster, cartoon or real, and I doubt I ever will. She's quite a lady.

It's true that they were acting selfishly, and didn't know at all what Dylan was like.

But I like to think that, if Frankie were dating someone who truly deserved her, he would've instantly told off Bloo and the others in a way indicating that he genuinely cares about Frankie and understands her not-so-pleasant profession and thus wants to make sure she has a good time that evening, instead of being incredibly vain like Dylan. Then later, Frankie would explain to him that they were friends of her, and they would later all get together, and Frankie and her new boyfriend would tell them as kindly as possible that their actions were very selfish and that, if they really care about Frankie, they shouldn't pull off such a stunt again. At the same time, though, he would try his best to get along with Frankie's "crushees". Mac, Chris and Prince Charming would learn from their lesson and accept that they truly love each other. Bloo of course wouldn't take it so easily, but that's basically a given. (And I repeat, that scenario is IF and ONLY IF Frankie were with somebody who actually deserved her)

So please don't misunderstand me. But I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that the relationship between Frankie and Bloo isn't a completely negative one.
