Wilt - Page 86 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I like Wilt's sense of humor, even though he isn't exactly the funniest character on the show. And also, a dry sense of humor means wit, and wit means intelligence. I like how all these things link togetehr XD

I like his wit/sarcasm/dry sense of humor as well... it not only appeals to the older viewers of the show who are able to catch it (you can't tell me the youngest viewers catch all of it), it shows that it was MEANT for older viewers of the show. Yay for them for thinking of everyone!

Tehe. It's a shame that people don't see that. I feel like a childish idiot when people ask me what I like to watch on TV. I tell them I like to watch cartoons, but whats worse is how they react when I tell them i watch a show about Imaginary Friends. Seeing as Imaginary Friends are normally made up little kids. But Foster's isn't like that at all, it's not just for little kids, it's for the whole family.

Hahaha. Im almost 20 so I also know how it feels when people ask what you watch on TV. I say cartoons mostly, but when they ask which, I shamefully only mention things like IZ, Family Guy, King of the Hill, etc. I dont mention CL or FHFIF. I know! KILL ME! D:

I have no problem telling people that i watch cartoons on TV. Actually, I make more friends that way. ^^ I found a bunch of Foster's fans.

Now all I need to do find some hardcore Wilt fans.

I only know people who like him, they aren't exactly fans of him.

Myself, I wouldn?t have any problem confessing to my love of Foster?s, but then again, hardly anyone I?ve mentioned it to even knows what I?m talking about.

My parents are now at least aware of the show, thanks to me and my (surprisingly troublesome) efforts to get hold of one of the newly-released Wilt and Coco statues, and could probably now recognise some of the characters if they saw them. Though my dad?s instinctive reaction when I finally received my new statue was that ?someone? (that is, Craig) had ?evidently been downing a few drinks when they designed those things.?

I hate telling my aunt about this kind of stuff that i do in my spare time. I recorded Good Wilt Hunting when it aired in the UK, and me and my cousins were ahppily sitting in a chair watching when my Mum and aunt come in. And then my aunt says something about it as Eduardo declares "Oh Nina! I don't even know what you said but it sure sounded smart!" and Mum tells her that this is what i draw all the time. And my aunt scoffed at it. In fact she ALWAYS scoffs at my drawings because they aren't up to her standard of drawing. Shes a realism type of artist. Me not

scary_dream · 02-27-2007, 09:07 PM

Oh man.... if anyone knew how much I love cartoons I'd be institutionalized. I mean, they know I like them, but whoa, I LOOOVE cartoons. Seriously. I talk to myself about cartoons

I feel no shame in talking about the ones I like if someone asks, though. I just try to not bring them up ("This reminds me of an episode of Foster's...") without other people talking about them, too.

<<< My av says it all. I even love most little kiddie shows, too. They're so cute and a great break from serious every day life.

Hah, I'm not a rabid fangirl, but Wilt is still my favorite character by far, but I dare not tell my friends/family too much about it. They'd think I'm annoying or something!

Vampyre · 03-01-2007, 01:38 PM

I was think about this last night while doodling when i should have been sleeping about how Wilt has changed personality wise since the loss of his arm and half his sight. Some people think that Wilt was probably very big headed and egotistical about his talent, but to be honest I have NEVER been able to see him that way. After all, if Wilt HAD been big headed and obnoxious, why is it Jordan and Wilt both say the words 'sorry' and 'OK' in alot of their sentences, when Wilt ran away as soon as the accident had happened.

I beleive that Wilt hasn't changed personality wise, but by teh way he thinks. I've always seen Wilt as a very deep thinker even if it hasn't been shown in the episodes, and for some reason, when I can't think of anything to draw, I ALWAYS draw him sat upon the grass, staring up at the sky (In fact I'm currently working on this picture of Photoshop). I think that as Wilt watched Jordan almost get killed before he pushed him out of the way, he realised just how quickly life can end, and I feel that he really values it, more than most people and friends do.

antgirl1 · 03-01-2007, 02:35 PM

Seriously, put yourself in Wilt's position at the time - What would've mattered more, the game, or the creator?

Of course the creator would matter more, since it's alive, and the creator made an imaginary come to life too. Without a creator, an imaginary can't be "born". And living things are more important than the mere game that was seemed as "most important", yet Wilt chose his creator first, since his creator is what he cared about most, even more than basketball.

...Well, he pretty much values ANYONE'S life (Except Duchess of course) over basketball. He proved that in his past, that he cared about his creator's life more than winning that game.

Of course Wilt didn't realize that the loss of the GAME was no big deal until 30 years later. If he WAS failing Jordan, they'd be losing every game. This was just ONE loss. One loss = emotional brake-down?

I guess that's what it meant to Wilt either way.
