Duchess

[Voxxyn]

The Foster's pages on Wikipedia say or have said at one point that Eduardo will die a grisly death, that Bloo is Mac's only friend(not best, only), that Frankie is named after Frank Black of alternative-rock band The Pixies, that Mac's Mom and her IF would show up in "Good Wilt Hunting", etc...

Yeah, I'd say it's just a bunch of nonsense.

I like Duchess. Not as a person, of course, but as a character. She's a great villain figure, and I wouldn't mind seeing her given another starring role in the same quality as "Duchess of Wails". I especially like the interactions between her and Frankie.

The opening minute of DOW with Duchess and Frankie arguing was infinitely more funny and entertaining than all twenty-one minutes of the episode that preceded it in premiere airdate.

Which is exactly why Foster's needs her...every show needs that antagonist, the character everyone loves to hate. While I certainly wouldn't want to see her in large doses, a little bit of Duchess (no "t", consarn it) adds a little bit of conflict that makes the show more interesting. And unlike certain other unpleasant IFs who shall..erm...remain nameless, I don't get a feeling of maliciousness with Duchess. She's a royal pain in the you-know-what, but she can't help it...it's just who she is.

If she did possess that ability, I'm wondering if she'd even use it, considering the fact that she disdains doing any real physical activity and will attempt to find a way to get by without doing it no matter what.

As for the character herself, I like the character a bit. I think she can make an entertaining antagonist, especially when she plays off of Bloo. I still think her interaction with Bloo and Mac in "Dinner is Swerved" made for some of the funniest moments in that episode.

I can see Bloo (and perhaps Mac) trying to connive her into slipping through a narrow opening or under a locked door in order to do/get something for him/them. That would be amusing.

Dag, that would be awesome to see in an episode, just to see the three of them in some kind of situation where they are forced to put aside past differences for only a moment and work together. (And no Duchess of Wails doesn't really count in that respect just for the simple fact that Duchess wasn't exactly a willing participant in Mac and Bloo's scheme in that episode.)

Exactly.

And, don't hate me, but when I first saw Duchess, I flinched a little at the uncanny resemblance between her and myself, in terms of bossing around and high maintenance, and dare I say it... maybe some narcissism. :3 The only reason I don't reach the heights of blatant rudeness like Duchess is because I have to restrain myself to be a likeable and civilized individual. But deep down, yeah, I probably would be a Duchess myself. I was her creator, in fact. ;p

Hey, at least I'm honest with myself, and the truth stings; particularly when someone else points that out to you.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

You know it's odd but we haven't seen Duchess for a while. She's not my favorite character mind you, and she's down right ugly as sin, but I think they need to keep her around because she's still a decent reoccurring villain.

I think her voice suits her perfectly and it's one of the really great "evil" traits about her that I find so suiting for her character. After seeing Little Lincoln and the Space Nutboogies take over the house, Duchess could probably do the same.

[Cell_Phone_guy]

Since Little Lincoln sold all the imaginary friends in "Emancipation Complication" (except for Bloo and Herriman), he must of sold Duchess to someone as well. I wonder who would have bought her since hardly anyone took her for free! I also wonder how long before whoever bought her would want their money back!
