TV Ad for "Good Wilt Hunting" - Page 16 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Think about it, though, people-who is more believable and respectable, someone who has always been a perfect "Goody Two-Shoes", always having done the right thing, or a person who has managed to turn their own life around for the better, making a choice to to stop doing what is wrong and using their talents and abilities now to HELP others? Who would you figure would be more respectable, especially for kids who might themselves be involved with not-so-nice things? Someone who's always been perfect is not believable, even in an animated character, because no real person is like that. Someone who's made some really bad mistakes in the past, and is now working to change that, is a much better role model because what they say and do now has more credence to it. A kid who is toying with the notion of joining a gang can look at someone who's never done anything wrong, and just think, "Yeah, right! What a wuss!", but if they know that this person has struggled with the same issues that they themselves now face, and overcome them, that makes the redeemed character much more "solid" and respectable, and a better example. I know that I cannot have much respect for someone who's telling me how to do things and live MY life, when I know that they have not had to face the same issues that I have, but if I know that they've been through what I am going through, and overcome it, what they now say and do has more meaning for me, personally.

EDIT: See #161.

I saw it too. I'm a little disappointed as to who the creator is, but this honestly makes me even more excited for the movie.

EDIT: And it's not that much of a spoiler. It's nothing to panic over, so calm down. (Then again I'm immune to spoilers, so that could just be me. *laughs* )

Please, warn people to STAY AWAY from Spoiler Below

turnerinfo.com press site.

PLEASE.

Wow, that was interesting.

Spoiler Below

I had this REAL strong suspiction the kid was black...I was right! Wow. Kinda creepy and cool at the same time. Of course, that IS Wilt's creator as a young kid, not fully grown, and that IS Wilt BEFORE his incident, so we're not sure of all that happened yet, meaning it isn't that much of a spoiler. I'm not sure why those pics are there either, but unless someone specifically knows of it, LIKE YOU POINTING IT OUT, it's not such a big deal.

I for one still have a zillion questions and can't wait to see the whole thing. And Aw...Ed looks so cute hugging his creator. ^_^

TheLH · 11-13-2006, 10:14 AM

Maybe so, but considering the amount of fangirl-ish hype that certain people are exhibiting (Don't worry, I won't mention any names) around this movie, and Wilt in general, I believe it's best that I keep it under wraps for them.

EDIT: You must be psychic or something PBL:

Spoiler Below

Beacuse Wilt did lose his arm, weither by accident or otherwise!

PBL: 1
My (not quite) Common Sence: 0

But I kinda knew that, it never did occur to me Wilt was just created that way.....I think very few actually thought he was.

C'mon, guys, let's not reveal too many plot details, okay?

I remember using spoiler quotes!

pitbulllady · 11-13-2006, 10:42 AM

I'm not bothered by the spoiler at all; if anything, it RAISES more questions than it answers. So, now at least we do know that Wilt DID have a human creator, but what we do not know is what happened to "(name removed)", or why he abandoned Wilt, or IF he abandoned Wilt, since there are many ways they could have been separated. We still don't know what this "terrible thing" is that Wilt did, or what it has to do with his creator, if it has anything at all to do with him. We do not know WHERE Wilt spent his early years, though it does appear to have been in a large city. We do not know what, if anything, that Basketball-headed Dude has to do with Wilt's creator, and just what the relationship between him and Wilt is, only that it does not appear to be a friendly one. We learned that Wilt WAS NOT(and this should not come as a surprise, honestly, since the evidence has always pointed to Wilt having been injured), once and for all, imagined with one eye and one arm and a scarred-up face; SOMETHING happened to him, though the biggest question still remains: WHAT?? Do Wilt's injuries have anything to do with the Basketball-headed Dude and that pack of Imaingary Friends(or whatever they are) on the other side of the fence, or anything to do with his creator, or something completely unrelated? I'm looking forward to this movie nwo more than ever, if anything!

AAAUUUGHH!!! We begged and begged and begged to not have that information leaked!! If you haven't already, DON'T read the previous spoilers, you're totally ruining it for yourselves!!

ThLH- please put Spoiler Below

"pre-incident Wilt"

in spoiler quotes. That was supposed to be a suprise.

PBL- please put Spoiler Below

Jordan Michaels

in spoiler quotes as well. I mean, it's totally the ending of the story.

I'm totally bummed CN put any of that stuff up on their site.
