I would just sum up Mac, Bloo, Pizza-guy and Charmings "fight" over Frankie as inexperiance or puppylove. And by all we know, Charming is younger then Mac.

Yeah, but he's not a kid.

If it were a nod towards Frankie's fanbase (and I don't think it is, although if I got that kind of recognition from the crew I'd be proud), the two characters probably wouldn't have stayed prominent throughout the entire movie. They'd have kept it a short gag, and not much more than that.

Frankie is beautiful, yes, but there's another reason that Douglas and Adam were attracted to her: Because she's nice. Frankie excludes no one. She was a little weirded out by them (and got quite tired of them at the end, but she could have slugged each of them in the face), sure, but they're supposed to be the stereotypical "socially inept" nerds, and didn't notice. They're the "nerds" and she's the figurative "pretty girl in the gaming store" that probably treats them much better than another attractive female would.

That's all it was. It wasn't a meanspirited anything to anyone. If anything it's merely another nod towards Douglas Adams. Rest in peace.

And if it is a tongue-in-cheek reference to her fanbase, they should do squealing Wilt fangirls next time. *shot*

I honeslty didn't take it that way simply because that would more or less mean that there is a deeper explanation into Douglas and Adam's characters about their luck with girls, and status as geeks, when the movie clearly wasn't going to go in that direction. That stuff seems more like speculation.

I don't know, maybe me being one of the big Frankie fans on this board, felt it kinda was a nodd to us simply due to the fact of Frankie's success on an internet board and she was being hounded by (surprise) internet geeks. That's just how I saw it anyway.

I think it's more then just Frankie being nice because regardless if it was puppy love, Mac and Bloo and the other guys obsessed over her as well. And even though he ended up being a jack ass, Dylan still had a thing for Frankie as well. There's something more to Frankie's draw then her nice demeanor.

To have 7 admirers over one girl, there's definitely something about Frankie.

There definitely is. I just got the impression that they were enamored with her because she didn't act like they weren't there. She even gave them hot dogs. Hell, she let them have all the hot dogs.... I think. I really need to watch that again.

It's definitely more than her being nice, as we saw from their Jessica Rabbit-esque vision of her, but from what I've seen in similar situations in cartoons the "nerds" tend to latch onto the one girl who will give them the time of day.

Like I said, if it was a nod towards Frankie's fanbase they should do Wilt next, because that would be hilarious -- but I don't think it was because they probably wouldn't have kept them as prominent characters throughout the whole movie. I was pretty surprised that they did, really. I thought those few minutes would be all we'd see of them.

I like what Mac said: "Frankie likes us, because she is cool." To me, that sums up everything! Word to the wise: do not get on Frankie's bad side!

Mr. Marshmallow · 11-27-2006, 02:36 PM

I enjoyed them regardless of their purpose or supposed fan based origins. I honestly think though that if they were not, the creators of the show should take into consideration some of the things that go on this board. Or at least, have some general idea of feedback on how fans feel about characters.

We already know they are aware that fans loved Goo and Cheese, and they responded by giving them more episodes. My hopes rather they be in vain or not is that they get the hint on Frankie and give her some more credit, if not more air time. They barely even air her own freaking episodes for crying out loud.

I think they should know, letters, e-mails, or whatever that Frankie means as much to us as she does to everyone at Foster's. Even if CN doesn't do anything or responds to our comments (which I know they won't), it'd be nice knowing they are aware of our feelings for Frankie and her ever growing fan base here.

I disagree with this. Her nice attitude is at the HEART of why I love her so much. It adds the warmth and depth to her external beauty which I think makes her unique. Without it, I probably wouldn't have cared about Frankie at all in the first place.
