Wilt

[FostersFriend]

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n55/FostersFriend/Wilt.png
Helpful, cind, tall, imaginary. These four words are some of many used to describe Wilt. A tall imaginary friend who never says no for an answer (well maby once or twice). Wilt is a caring imaginary friend at Foster's home, who always helps out in sticky situations, and doesn't mind to take the blame for others mistakes. Wilt may sometimes be bossed around by others but aswell sticks up for himself, which is one of many sides to Wilt. Wilt is a fantastic friend at Foster's who never stops at what he does best-- is that okey?:D

[antgirl1]

The words I'd describe him if he were to be on a tombstone are: Selfless Helper, Pure-hearted imaginary, and Loving Family Member.

If you're wondering about the "loving family member" thing, he's like family to the rest of the friends at the home. :D

[Bloofanatic]

I think Wilt's cool

[FostersFriend]

Aaww antgirl thats sweet. I very much agree :D Go Wilt. I want to hug him! :)

[Scribble]

I want to hug him too! Wilt is a bit of a rolemodel to me (even at 17), and I am a little bit like him anyway in some ways. I also find it really sweet that he's so kind and helpful to everyone, even though he's obviously handicapped. He doesn't let anything get in the way of a friend in need!^^

[antgirl1]

Woot! Go Wilt! XD

Let's not let this thread die out. KEEP THE FLAME GOIN' STRONG. :D

[x_dummkoff_x]

wow.
I'm not even gonna get into my feelings.

[Sparky]

wow.
I'm not even gonna get into my feelings.

Oh, one of THOSE, are ya? ;) Lol.

[x_dummkoff_x]

Oh, one of THOSE, are ya? ;) Lol.


:confused: .....
I don't get it.
is that an insult or something?
are you implying that I might be overly obsessed!?
are you saying that I'm MANIACLE! (<-- that's probably spelled wrong)
.....
>> all right, I'm sorry about that.

No, she probably ment you wanna marry him or somethin. 8D

oh.
ok.
.....
well I do!

[pitbulllady]

oh.
ok.

well I do!

You and a significant portion of the female populace! Wilt's pretty much considered to be the Ultimate Prize by many single females(and probably more than a few married ones, whether or not they'd admit it publicly), of various age groups, I might add! He's my absolute favorite, and the reason I started watching the show in the first place, matter of fact.

I'm sorry I was just being friendly. I guess you're pretty new to the online Foster's community if you don't see the sarcasm. :) Wilt is VERY popular with the ladies. So I was jokingly saying that you're a Wilt fangirl...because you evidently are! :)

(I was thinking about creating a Wilt Fangirl grouping on here. ;) But that's not something I want to get into now, I need to recover from just creating the board!)

[antgirl1]

She noted o me, and she's actually Vivi. :D

[One Radical Dude]

I agree, I think Sparky was trying to be friendly with you -- is that okay? :D

Well, anyway -- Wilt is a very unique character, as well as the apperance. I know that he has had a really rough past, as you can see with the left wonky eye, parts of the face, and the left arm. I mean, how could anyone treat such a gentleman (or gentle IF), like the Wilt Man, so miserably? I like Wilt's personality, and it's the kind of personality you don't see from most cartoon characters.

[Tonya]

Exactly! That's what makes him so unique. He's unique because he's not you're typical cartoon character. He's the good guy, yes, and one of the sweetist guys in the world,but have you ever seen a good guy have a bad side? He should be in the TV Guide as one of the World's best role-models. Sure you got other role-models who are good guys, but did you ever see Superman do anything wrong? He's just one of the many examples I could give. And sure, those good guys are the protoganist of the story, and a protoganist is supposed to be the good character that you can relate to, but who can really relate to a character who if perfect, flawless?? I can't. They're not real protoganists, meaning they don't live up to their title, the protoganist. Wilt is a real protoganist. A good guy who can have a bad side, and THAT is what we can relate to.

That kinda reminds me of my sig on the Boggs Board, which is a quote from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: "There is some good in the most evil of men, and some evil in the best of men", meaning that all people have the capacity to do good or evil, depending upon the circumstances. No one is purely one way or the other. This is something that's not often seen in animated characters, especially on tv, since many writers and animators create animation with children in mind, and assume that children can only reason in terms of everything being black or white, with no "gray" areas. The fact that the protagonists on Foster's ARE such flawed individuals, who have clear weaknesses and "bad sides", is a testimony to the real underlying sophistication of this show. Wilt is clearly a nice person, but he has some serious issues, and as we've seen in "Bus the Two of Us", he can quickly be pushed to the point of physical violence by certain situations. Wilt's emotional imperfections make him more "real" and believable than a character who never does anything wrong.

[Imaginary Light]

I love Wilt:D Behind Bloo, he's my favorite IF.
The fact that he's so friendly and sweet and caring, but can CRACK at certain things said (like jokes about his height) make him such a real character, even if he is imaginary!
Go Wilt!

[antgirl1]

Do you ever think that Wilt wishes he was shorter?

[FostersFriend]

Not really cuz I actually thinks he likes his high, otherwise why would he stand up for it? I'm sure perhaps in some situations he probbly wishes so, but i'm pretty sure he's happy the way he is!

:D

[Kzinistzerg]

Wilt really is a good character. As has been stated befoer, the fact that you can see he isn't perfect makes him more realistic.

[x_dummkoff_x]

I think he's perfect.

[Tonya]

Nah, he's not perfect. And that's what makes him perfect.

[x_dummkoff_x]

well, he's perfect to me!

[Tonya]

Speaking of Wilt, I was just looking up Wilt Chamberlain on the IMDb boards and read some interesting things about him.
Number one, he may have been a lifelong bacholor.
Number two, as you probably guessed, his trade mark was being The Gentle Giant.
And number three, he claimbed in his autobiography that he had, I'll put it modestly, *cough, cough* with 20,000 women. I'm not trying to be, you know, dirty or nothing, but we've always heard that our Wilt was based off of Chamberlain, right? Well, I'm begging to wonder on just HOW much he's based off him. Both Wilt's WERE and ARE popular with the ladies......:rolleyes:

[Kzinistzerg]

I think I'll go with the physcially impossible theory and let it rest at that.

[Cassini90125]

I think I'll go with the physcially impossible theory and let it rest at that.

I think that would be for the best.

[Tonya]

I dunno if what Chamberlain said was really true or not, about his ladies. I personally don't believe it was a whole 20,000, but, that's on him.

[antgirl1]

Whoever wants to kiss Wilt (not the Chamberlian one) (it don't matter where)say "I" and raise your hand! XD

[x_dummkoff_x]

OOH!
-raises hand and waves it around-
I!
I!

That actually made me make the "D:" face... it's something I'd rather not think about, but I appear to be in the minority on that opinion...

[Cassini90125]

Not something I care to think about either. Regardless, it's not exactly an appropriate topic for the board, so let's move on, shall we? :)

[Tonya]

Sorry, I knew it wouldin't be the most appropriate topic, I just mentioned it briefly to just tell ya'll then move on to something else, m'kay? :) . Anywaaay, here's one thing I've been thinking about, and I copy and pasted these signs from a site.
-------
Here are just some of the signs of child abuse:

Unexplained or repeated injuries such as welts, bruises, or burns.
Be over-friendly with strangers.
Be afraid to go home.
Think badly of themselves.
-------
Wilt does have unexplained inury's, such as his broken eye and lost arm.
Well, he is really friendly, mabe even overly friendly as some folks would put in. I for one believe he has always been friendly, but he does try to avoid conflict as much as possible because whatever happend to him in the past has affected him now and that is why he's afraid to cause conflict of any sort. I also believe that his smile is a sheild to protect those feelings.
I think he's scared to be adopted. He's afraid that if he goes bacck to another family, he'll get hurt again.
I don't think he thinks BADLY about himself, but he certainly does think less of himself than others. Now I don't believe he was abused by his family, certainly not his kid, but regardless, whatever happend to him, he does have these signs of an abused child, a child that could've been abused by anyone.

As for adoption, I don't think Wilt IS adoptable. He's been in the house longer than any other friend. Even Uncle Pockets, the first friend, got adopted out. And when adoption days come around, where's Wilt? Not mixing with the other friends hoping for families. He's always away doing a job, helping Frankie and Herriman run things. It could be because he's always helpful, but I think its also that he's not looking to be adopted.

I don't think he thinks BADLY about himself, but he certainly does think less of himself than others. Now I don't believe he was abused by his family, certainly not his kid, but regardless, whatever happend to him, he does have these signs of an abused child, a child that could've been abused by anyone.I've always suspected Wilt was mistreated before he came to Foster's, but maybe not physically beaten as some people would assume. He offers to punish or even starve himself if he thinks its what people want. Maybe his injuries were self-inflicted?

[Tonya]

Oh my.......Uh, that's very, very disturbing what you got there. I doubt he would ever do that, but, hmmm.....I'm just shaing my thoughts on the very same thought on what Sims Katie brought up, the self-inflicted harm thing about Wilt. If those injuries were self-inflicted, it could either be because he came out accidently imagined cracked, or he cracked due to his past. We DO know that he hits himself, in that ep were they all came home from the beach and Frankie yelled at him, he said something along the lines of "I'll just go hit myself now, if that's okay!". Soooo, if he already abmitted to hitting himself, then mabe he might take it a little further?.....No, he wouldin't, would he?? Hmm........It's bringing tears to my eyes right now as I type this very sentence right here, but.... mabe....mabe you're on to something, Sims Katie. And of course the reason why he doesn't have any obvious recent injuries is because whatever he might have did, or what could've happend to him, he regretted so badly and, or was so hurt by someone else, that that peticular event in his life was defenatly the most worst, not an event quite as painful ever since. I know I tend to drone on and on, but I just wanted to give my opinion of the interesting, yet disturbing thought, if that's okay?

I can't really say anything else because it's all been said earlier! XD Anyway, I totally agree with you in saying that Wilt has some signs of being abused at one point of his life. I, too, believe that he's afraid to be adopted for the same reasons as you do and I am also beginning to think that his smile and cheerful attitude could be a shield to protect those feelings as well. He doesn't really seem to be totally open with his feelings, emotions or even his own past (example-how you've explained why he tries to hide those feelings and an even bigger example is in the pilot episode when Bloo tells him that he should play basketball. The thing is that Wilt says he used to, THEN gestures at his missing arm. But what's even more evident to this is that he totally changes the subject afterwards, as PBL has mentioned a few times on the old forum.) I don't really think that he's been abused by his family, either, but I still think that SOMEONE did something to him. If he HAS been abused by someone, then you can bet that it was probably someone outside of his creator's family.

However, about the self-inflicting wounds thing, I don't really think that Wilt thinks THAT badly of himself to want to go as far as to hurt himself. If he had been like that, then he'd say things such as "I'm worthless" and "I'm such a loser" a lot of the time. He's never really said anything THAT bad about himself before, though. I think he has just enough confidence in himself to not want to do that kind of thing, but that's just what I think.

Soooo, if he already abmitted to hitting himself, then mabe he might take it a little further?.....No, he wouldin't, would he??

What he actually said was "I'm gonna go punish myself, if that's ok."
I hate myself for even thinking about it, but you may have a point. What disturbs me about Wilt is his eagerness to punish himself and convince himself that he deserves it. Like in "Crime after Crime", he was actually agreeing with Mr. Harriman's punishment of going early to bed without dinner and then trying to make it worse on himself by proceeding to stand in a corner like a preschooler. Skipping dinner and feeling hungry for it probably doesn't qualify as inflicting harm on oneself, but it's a start. I remember my Human Development teacher talking to us about an abused child he had taken in who did not eat or drink anything until he had done his homework. That was how this kid received his punishment from his severely disturbed mom. I'm not 100% convinced that Wilt's origins were abusive and cruel, but that attitude and personality of his could definitely raise a couple of shrinks' eyebrows. Who knows what else Wilt would be willing to do to right whatever "wrong" he did. He certainly has an easy time giving himself misery.

One of the theories I've had(and it's not the only one, mind you, so it's far from being etched in stone)is that Wilt's willingness to help others even at the cost of his own comfort, safety and well-being, as well as his chronic apologizing, and his apparent low self-worth, might stem from him actually having done something horrible in his past, or at least something HE thinks is horrible. His behavior might be a form of atonement, the Wilt equivalent of Earl Hickey's List, and Wilt's way of avoiding "bad Karma". Like Earl, Wilt might have been injured(Earl got hit by a car and wound up in the hospital, fortunately with no long-term disabilities)as a result of something bad he did, perhaps to survive after being abandoned, so he figured out that if you do something bad, something bad happens to you, so if you only do GOOD things, good things happen to you. Unlike Earl, though, Wilt is not forthcoming with the events of his past, but keeps them buried, and they're starting to really fester their way to the surface, like a splinter. As a result, we are seeing a gradual, but noticeable, deterioration in his emotional state, which makes him feel that bad things are STILL happening to him, and that therefore he must not be doing enough good to stop them, and that causes even more anxiety.

I do believe that Wilt's line(spoken to Mac)in "I Only Have Surprise for You", in which he berates Mac for not talking about his problems, but taking them out on a little Imaginary Friend("Artie"), was a deliberate and ironic allusion to his own emotional/mental state, a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black!

[Tonya]

Those were also my thoughts too. You know, I meant to post that same kind of thing in my post, but I erased it to edit it I guess, and then forgot about the whole thing. Well anyway, like I was gonna say, Mabe Wilt did something in his past that was so awful that he couldin't forgive himself, still can't, and has been slipping further and further into insanity for years ever since, and his sanity growing worse. The poor sweethearted soul, mabe he is......cracked.....Yeah, that's what he is, he's cracked. Mentally disturbed. Actually, mentally disturbed sounds better, but cracked explains him just as well. I have a thought, mabe his injuries, if self inflicted, are an obvious cry for help, but he's just to scared to tell anyone about what is troubling him. You never know, there could be more than one reason of why he doesn't talk about his past. We ALL know that his past is to painful to talk about, and we've got the theory that when Wilt hurts himself that it's out of guilt because he possibly done something horrible in his past, or at least something HE thinks is horrible, that he just can't let it go. Those are two reason's of wich we thought of, now here's the other reason why he might not like to share his past with anyone, mabe it's because he's afraid that if he tells somebody what happend, IF HE's the one who done what he thought was horrible, then everybody will hate him, and everybody will abandon him. Or.......here's another thought. We DO know he has a past, and we don't know what happend to him, sooo, mabe something happend to him and he's afraid to tell anyone because they might not believe him. Like this case, a child gets robbed of their innocents, the abuser tells the child that if THEY tell, their family and everybody they know gets hurt or murdered. It could also be the possible case with Wilt. And when I say "robbed of innocents", I really do mean something like that, or a very simular situation, like threat of a different kind.

I seriously doubt that Wilt's injuries are self-inflicted, since they were obviously incurred a long time ago, and when the series started out, Wilt seemed to be pretty stable, emotionally. In fact, he was pretty laid-back and very difficult to "ruffle". You never saw him get so spazzed-out like he did in "Bus the Two of Us", or talk of "punishing" himself. People getting angry with him or things not going right seemed more or less like water off a duck's back to Wilt; he just took 'em in stride. Now, though, he seems very paranoid about making someone mad or upset, especially Frankie, and things get to him much more easily. I think that his fear of abandonment(phobia is more like it) has something to do with it, but WHY has this fear been triggered so powerfully now? You have to wonder what the catalyst has been to push Wilt in the direction he's going, emotionally, in recent episodes. I DO know that people who have experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder never completely get over it; it can recur if the person is put under enough stress or exposed to certain trigger situations, and for certain Wilt HAS experienced that at some point in his past. The key is finding out what has instigated this latest manifestation of PTSD, though I still believe that until Wilt is able to openly discuss the unpleasant aspects of his past, any respite he gets from that past is going to be short-lived.

[LaBlooGirl]

Well this is the amazing kind of character development in Fosters...something that little kids probably won't pick up on...but that us older viewers will, and I bet the writers are doing that purposefully, just to make the show more interesting for the older viewers.

We saw the changes in Bloo, he's regressing and becoming more child-like, and causing chaos any chance he gets. Our diagnosis? He hates being seperated from Mac, because he's used to being with him just about every minute of every day when they were together at the apartment. Being seperated in literally a day was a bit painful emotionally...and since Bloo doesn't do emotion well (not usually anyway), he resorts to bad sorts of attention-getting, as if saying, "Screw you world, from taking me away from my creator like this." Heck, call me dramatic, but I really see it that way.

Wilt... *sighs*, something awful happened to Wilt. Really and truly awful. Like I've said before in older posts, I always wanted to believe that Wilt did something very heroic and therefore that was how he lost his arm, you know, jumped- in- front- of- a- bus to save a kid theory. But, as I see his reactions in different situations (I missed "Bus the Two of Us", dern, I really want to see what PB was talking about) I'm not so convinced of that anymore.
I'm convinced Wilt was subject to act of cruel violence. And I'm going to hang on my idea that he was trying to protect his creator (EVEN BY DOING SOMETHING BAD, WHICH PB HAS THEORIZED).....let's say for example and brainstorming only...let's say Wilt tried to protect his creator by hiding drugs for him/her. You know, his creator does something stupid (not that the creator is a bad person, just made a bad choice), tries to get money by sellling drugs. Wilt wants to protect said person, and so he hides them, flushes it, whatever.

Now the creator is in trouble because he/she does not have the drugs, and no money. The person who gave the drugs threatens creator.
Then the person who threatened decides the worst punishment would be to take it out on Wilt...and hurt him. Or.....they try to attack the creator but Wilt jumps in, getting hurt instead. Something to that effect.
The possibilities are endless, and truth be told, I don't like thinking about it much...I doubt Craig would go into any graphic details, but I do hope he'll at least give some clues as to why Wilt is the way he is.

Psychologically, we know and realize that Wilt is a bit unstable. I just hope he never breaks completely, poor guy.

Now, though, he seems very paranoid about making someone mad or upset, especially Frankie, and things get to him much more easily. He lost his bed when Bloo moved in, right? I haven't been able to see the first episode, sadly, so I'm only assuming, but he talks about not having a bed anymore in "Room with a Feud", and when he does get one finally at the end of the episode Bloo knocks him out of it again.

In fact, he was pretty laid-back and very difficult to "ruffle". You never saw him get so spazzed-out like he did in "Bus the Two of Us", or talk of "punishing" himself. People getting angry with him or things not going right seemed more or less like water off a duck's back to Wilt; he just took 'em in stride. Now, though, he seems very paranoid about making someone mad or upset, especially Frankie, and things get to him much more easily. I think that his fear of abandonment(phobia is more like it) has something to do with it, but WHY has this fear been triggered so powerfully now? You have to wonder what the catalyst has been to push Wilt in the direction he's going, emotionally, in recent episodes. I DO know that people who have experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder never completely get over it; it can recur if the person is put under enough stress or exposed to certain trigger situations, and for certain Wilt HAS experienced that at some point in his past. The key is finding out what has instigated this latest manifestation of PTSD, though I still believe that until Wilt is able to openly discuss the unpleasant aspects of his past, any respite he gets from that past is going to be short-lived.

pitbulllady

You and Tonya both have very interesting ideas and views about what happened to Wilt. He really didn't seem (well, he didn't at first, anyway) to take it too hard when people got angry or frustrated with him and he pretty much just let it roll right off (Like when Madame Foster gets angry with him in "The Big Lablooski"). But he definitely DOES seem more paranoid about making anyone mad or upset now. It's obvious that he came the closest to cracking in "Bus the Two of Us". It seems like this kind of stress is REALLY beginning to take a toll on him a LOT. Wilt is beginning to seem like he can't handle a great amount of stress or any kind of pressure very well anymore due to the events of that episode and his behavior in it. I mean, he almost lost it several times! Because of this I'd agree that he has experienced PTSD at one point. *sighs* I just wish we all knew what it was that made him like this, though.

As for him doing something so bad at one point that he is afraid to tell anyone about it (example: like the hiding drugs thing that LaBlooGirl was talking about earlier) somehow I don't really believe that that's the case, but I still wouldn't totally put it out of the picture, either. I'd say that it's a possibility due to his recent behavior. It could be driving him to insanity and eating at him so much that it caused him to react to certain things like he is now; thus becoming mentally disturbed. So I'm not saying it's not possible because it is, actually. Now I still don't think that he has injured himself, but the memories of whatever he COULD have done that was 'bad' could be eating him up inside.

Now, about losing the bed, I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I thought that Wilt gave up HIS spot so that Bloo could have it (didn't this happen in the pilot episode?). Meh, I can't remember for sure. XP

[Tonya]

I didin't mention anything about drugs, it was LaBlooGirl who gave that theory. Yeah, the PTSD is a pretty good one though. I wonder if Craig's reading any of these, and getting ideas on what to put in the future ep "GWH". But one thing I've been thinking about speaking of that ep, I hope "GWH" isin't something incredibly stupid. I dunno why but I have this gnawing fear in the pit of my stomache that it might be a BIG disapointment. I mean, LOOK AT ALL THE THEORIES WE GAVE, AND THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD ON WILT'S PAST, and when I think about "GWH", if it's gonna let us down, (you never know), I get really sad. I mean seriously, how long has the topic of "What happend to Wilt?" been going on? I bet "GWH"'s gonna be a flop. I'm not bashing or nothing, atleast, I don't think so? But, remember when we first saw advertised "Foster's Goes to Europe"?, we all probably thought, "Yay! There getting a vacation!", and look how it turned out. It was mostly about trying to get to the air port in time! It's just a fear of mine. "GWH" I know will be VERY interesting, but, I'm just afraid it's not gonna be everything we hoped it would be. Sorry if I'm getting slightly off topic, but it was on my mind right now.

[Chaos Wielder]

Oops! I'm sorry-for some reason I thought you were the one that mentioned the drugs thing instead of LaBlooGirl. My bad! :P

Anyway, I don't think you're bashing. You're right, actually-there's always the possibility that we could be let down when we see GWH and that's mainly because so many people have such high hopes for it. When people have such high hopes, then there's a higher chance that it'll be a let-down because everyone seems to expect REALLY great things out of it. Personally, my hopes for GWH are really REALLY high...higher than they've ever been for any other Foster's episode. If it's even a BIT of a let-down, then I think I'm gonna be utterly disappointed, in all honesty. I'm pretty sure that it'll be enjoyable, but there's one thing that I worry about (and I mentioned it before on another forum somewhere) and that is that it'll not focus enough on Wilt's past and will focus too much on Bloo and the gang actually LOOKING for him (just pay attention to the title of the ep really good and you'll see what I mean). Some other people have said that they're sure that it'll focus on Wilt a lot as well, but I just hope that that's true. :(

You've got a point about FGTE. A lot of people had high hopes for it, it seems and now it seems like it's one of the weaker episodes. It's a shame that it ended up the way it did (I don't think it was THAT terrible, but I will admit that it was a bit of a let-down).

[One Radical Dude]

The best thing to do is to NOT think about Good Wilt Hunting so much. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be excited about it or anything. It's just I've learned to not hype up or set a exceedingly high level of expectations, because more often than not, you will likely pick at the things you disliked, and some of those things will really take away the enjoyment of the episode.

As for pbl's words, well said.

[Tonya]

I know! Wouldin't it be awful if "GWH" is a whole movie about the gang trying to find Wilt, and at the end they find Wilt and ask him were he's been, and he says "Oh, sorry! I was just out taking a walk, I didin't know it was Reunion Day!", and then everybody's all happy, laughing, and then the cheerful, whimsical music plays as the show goes off. THE END.
Speaking of all this, when's "GWH" gonna come on anyway? In November? I know it's one of the later months of this year.

[pitbulllady]

He lost his bed when Bloo moved in, right? I haven't been able to see the first episode, sadly, so I'm only assuming, but he talks about not having a bed anymore in "Room with a Feud", and when he does get one finally at the end of the episode Bloo knocks him out of it again.


In the pilot episode, Wilt felt sorry for Bloo because Bloo was new to Foster's and did not have a bed, and at that time, Bloo actually did not press the issue to went to sleep on the floor in a corner of their room. Wilt voluntarily gave up HIS bed(which even has his name on it)and agreed to sleep on the floor underneath Bloo's bed, so that BLOO would not have to sleep on the floor.

By the time that "Room With a Feud" aired, it had become obvious that to Wilt, this sleeping on the floor gig is starting to get stale. This probably has to do with the change in Bloo's behavior, since Bloo now acts much more like a jerk and shows little gratitude for people doing nice things for him. Even so, when Bloo shows up in the new room and asks Wilt to move over and make room for him, Wilt obliges by rolling off the bed onto the floor, once again.

I don't understand that whole thing, why can't they just put another bed in the room for pete's sake, instead of allowing someone to sleep on the FLOOR? I know Wilt is kind and he does this for Bloo's sake, but still. You know how small Bloo is?? Maybe they could even make a bed for him to fit in a corner, it would be small enough! Sheesh. 8D

I don't know why they can't just put another bed in that room, either. Like you said, Bloo would not need a large bed(though I can imagine the hissy fit he'd throw if he had to give up the current large bed for a smaller, toddler-sized bed), and there's plenty of room for another small bed in that room. I have to wonder if Frankie or Madame Foster knows that Wilt sleeps on the floor, since I cannot recall seeing her in that bedroom when the Imaginary Friends were present, or at all, actually. Being that Wilt has asthma, it's NOT a good idea for him to sleep on the floor at all, since it's recommended that people with even sporadic asthma attacks sleep in a bed well-off the floor, with raised pillows.

[Kzinistzerg]

Wilt has WHAT now? He has asthma? I didn't know that...

[Sims Katie]

I don't understand that whole thing, why can't they just put another bed in the room for pete's sake, instead of allowing someone to sleep on the FLOOR? I know. They don't have a single bed available? Anywhere? I suggest the sofa, but I don't think any are long enough...

Remember that inhaler that he had at one point (I think it was in FGTE, right)? Well, you can bet that it was for the asthma. ;)

[Tonya]

Asthma, one thing that me and Wilt have in commen. I wonder if he's ever got out of breath playing basektball when in competition?

[Chaos Wielder]

Hmm...that's a good question, actually. I'm sure he probably has gotten out of breath playing b-ball at some point, though. I have a slight case of asthma myself and can get quite winded whenever I'm doing an outdoor activity.

[Tonya]

My asthma's not to bad either, it's just mild, like yours. I have a feeling though tht he might have his under control, like some people. Man he's an inspiration, a blind in one eye, asthmtic amputee playing b-ball.

[Sims Katie]

Yup, FGTE. Here it is :

They could get a dog bed. *shot*

[taranchula]

Now "that" would make for a funny visual...

[Cassini90125]

LOL! I'd love to see that! :D

[Kzinistzerg]

Huh... I havent seen FGTE, so did he SAY it was his? It'd be like him to have an extra just iin case one of the other friends forgot theirs.

[InsaneFan]

XD That sounds so funny, I'd gladly buy the dog bed and send it over if I could!

Of course, if I could send it there, I could send myself as well...;D

[pitbulllady]

LOL! I'd love to see that! :D

Seriously...can you IMAGINE the look on Bloo's face when he sees that his new bed is a DOG bed? And we thought his whining in "Cuckoo For Coco Cards" was bad!

But yeah, Wilt has asthma, which is apparently allergy-induced. Not all asthma is triggered by the same things. Most asthmatics are allergic to something, and have to use an inhaler to open their airways following exposure to an allegin, or, they might use a product like Singulaire(also available as an inhaler)to prevent asthma attacks in the event of exposure to an allergin. Activity-induced asthma is much less common that allergy-induced asthma, so it's quite possible that Wilt has never experienced the latter, although he DID run out of breath rather quickly after trying to shake Cheese loose from his hand in "The Big Cheese", and I was surprised that he gave out of breath and energy so quickly while pursuing Peanut Butter(Wilt seems to have some problems with IF's named after food, for some reason)in "Room With a Feud". True, it can be argued that in that episode, the others in pursuit of said redneck-sounding IF ran out of breath, too, but I really would have thought that Wilt would have more stamina than the others.

Yes, Wilt DOES specifically refer to the inhaler in question as "MY allergy medication"(emphasis mine), so yeah, it was indeed his. It would be extremely dangerous and uncharacteristically irresponsible for Wilt to carry such medication for someone else, unless they had the exact same prescription. That stuff CAN cause a potentially-lethal heart arrythmia if used by the wrong person, or used incorrectly, so it would not be sensible for someone who was NOT an asthmatic to carry it, or for someone to share it carelessly with others, without knowing their medical history.

[antgirl1]

Or it could've been when Peanut Butter says that he HATED the basketball wallpaper and that the beds were too long - Wilt had tears as he sawed the bed. It probably hurt his feelings or something. XD

[Sparky]

I'd be really annoyed.

Hah... I could see Bloo's facial expression being somewhere close to Squeak's in BASEketball whenever they tell him that he has to sleep in the dog bed... priceless!

[LaBlooGirl]

LOL A dog bed. I have to admit, I didn't think of that one.

Yes, Bloo would do just fine in a dog bed. X)

[Kzinistzerg]

He should totally have a dog bed. But Chewy mind find it...

[x_dummkoff_x]

is that dog even around anymore?

[pitbulllady]

Yeah, he was in "Land of the Flea", which was a fairly recent episode.

I wonder if we're ever gonna see that dog again............
O.o oh, sorry!

[Sims Katie]

The imaginary puppies were in "Crime after Crime" as well.

But back on topic... um, Wilt. Have to mention him at least once :p

[antgirl1]

I know Wilt is red, but sometimes he appears pink...in the dark. It could just be the lighting or something, but I think it could be something else.

[scary_dream]

Maybe it's just my television, but for the longest time I though of him as sort of an orange-ish red. Never really pink, though.

[Sims Katie]

I know Wilt is red, but sometimes he appears pink...in the dark. It could just be the lighting or something, but I think it could be something else.
Yea, in the dark they color him differently so he's visiable. But he's red in the daytime.

[antgirl1]

Oh, I thought it was something that "just happens". XD

[Mac]

I think I'm the only one who doesn't really like Wilt. Sure he's nice and sweet, but to me he's TOO nice and sweet. Of course I've only seen a handful of episodes (And the one where he flips out) but I just don't really like him too much.

Hopefully I didn't tick off any of you Wilt fangirls XD

[Cassini90125]

I'm sure they're okay with that. Excuse me while I go stand behind this brick wall...

;) ;D

[antgirl1]

Tis ok, as long as you don't hate him to the point of killing him outta sheer hatred. (and yes, there is one) Then the fangirls will make your life a living ****. XD

[Mac]

Nah. It's impossible for me to hate a character THAT much. Well...save for Elizabeth Swann from PotC...I hate her character so much I wanted to see her killed off in Dead Man's Chest. Since they didn't do it there, I'm rooting for the third XD

Just a quick edit so all this wonderful space won't go to waste: I hated this movie. I really did. Davey Jones was the only one worth my seven bucks (with student discount!)

Wow, and I'm not going cuz it's too **** long. I mean, 2 hours and 30 minutes? I got bored in the middle of the FIRST one, because of that. I mean,I just couldn't "get into" it, unlike Harry Potter.

---Now onto the ontopic stuff---

People could be onto something, you know, getting all hyper over Wilt's movie, and then when finally seeing it (which will be in about 2 more months) it turns out like "Imposter's home for um...Make-em-up Pals" did...crap. Crap, dookie, poo, waste of time, a "I WAITED A YEAR FOR THIS?!?!"

I'm actually afraid about that it'll hit me like that too - and that takes a lot for me, I'm easily amused. So, if I think it's really bad, you'll think this'll be the WORST thing ever shown on television since the history of television.

I'm also wondering this, too: Are they gonna quit making Foster's episodes after the movie is shown? Will it become "off-the-air"? Will it still at least show the re-runs of other episodes? Or will they get rid of Foster's completely? Powerpuff girls lasted, like what, 5 years? And after it's movie, they make a few more episodes before the final episode for the season fanale, called "See me, Feel me, Gnome".

And now, Foster's is getting a movie (the pilot doesn't count), only 2 years running, and after that, is that wonderful show just gonna die out...just like that? I also worried about after the SpongeBob Movie was released to theators (at that time I loved SpongeBob, before Foster's came along) that will SpongeBob, 5 years running, will die out? Not really. But still. Foster's has only two blissful fanful years, and is it gonna just be gone forever afterwards? If it's true, I'm shocked. :wiltshock:

I enjoyed it...not as much as I had hoped. I was a huge fan of the first movie so I was skeptical about this one. Usually sequels ruin the characters and the movie and it turns out I was right. They messed up Jack's character and Elizabeth was as dull as ever save for a few funny lines here and there. I think the only character who improved at all was Will. PotC fans don't give him the credit he deserves. He sucked in the first movie but he came back fighting in the second and I think was even better than Jack Sparrow. IMO people are too blinded by the Jack/Elizabeth pairing to notice Will was a great character in DMC. They are just dead set on hating him. Will was the only reason I stayed awake durning it.

All in all I wish they hadn't done the second movie and I'm not looking forward to the third.

Ok now that that essay is done with, back on topic.

Believe me, I'm probably as much concerned, if not more so, than anyone else that Good Wilt Hunting will wind up being a disappointment, concentrating too much on the humor, and not enough on other emotional elements, or being one of those episodes where someone just gets "dumped on" for no particular reason, like, as you said, "Imposter's Home...". Still, I'm holding out high hopes for it, so I guess now the onus is upon Craig and Co. to deliver. As I'm sure that they keep tabs on us here at Never Forgotten, I'm equally sure that they will make every possible effort to make Wilt's movie the entertainment event of the year!

That said, the answer to whether Foster's will end with the airing of Good Wilt Hunting is "NO". While there seems to be some debate as to whether or not that movie is the conclusion to Season 4, or the beginning of Season 5, Craig has already stated that Cartoon Network has approved a SIXTH season of Foster's, so there will definately be additional episodes after the movie. We know, from the Comic-Con interview, that there is the episode in which Bloo gets stuck at a fabric shop with Madame Foster while everyone else goes to the fair, and there's the band episode, neither of which have even been given a name yet, so we still have many more to look foreward to.

Thanks for the comment on the icon/avatar. I guess I need to put the original up on DA. I made this on copier paper during class at one of my schools, using crayon and Crayola markers-not the most sophisticated of art supplies, but all we have available on my current budget(the school district refuses to pay for art supplies, so the teachers have to buy 100% of student art supplies with our own money, which sucks). It actually shows Wilt being "kissed" by an adult red-nosed Pit Bull, and I originally intended it to be a sort of anti-BSL statement, to show that Pit Bulls are NOT all blood-thirsty killer monsters with 666 branded onto their foreheads as the news media would have everyone believe.

pitbulllady

[Voxxyn]

Oh, man... as a Frankie fanatic--and somebody who is still somewhat sore about "Imposter's Home"--I hope you gals won't end up "betrayed" by the Wilt movie. I'm really looking forward to it as well.

From the way the schedule is, with 8 half-hour episodes of Season 4 aired and 3 left--and with each previous season having 13 episodes(10 for Season 1 with the three-part pilot, 13 for Season 2, and 13 for Season 3 with "A Lost Claus" being a separate Holiday special), and with the movie being an hour long(two episodes' worth)... I guess it'll be the Season 4 closer. That is, unless the unnamed "fair" and "band" episodes air before November, which would probably make it the Season 5 premier.

Yes, I would comment on it on DA, but it's being a butt to comment. It's cutting off the text bar, and there's no submit button, AND when you press enter, it just starts a new line. Pathetic.

Another thing, if the answer is "NO", then they HAVE to keep Wilt in the show, no matter what happens. Then he HAS to still live at Foster's, otherwise the show'll not be the same as it was when he was there. I mean, without Wilt around, the "puzzle" of Foster's isn't "complete", one piece is missing. To me, he "completes" the home. So, if he's gonna be gone for good, the show'll "jump the shark" right after "Good Wilt Hunting". Even people who DON'T like Wilt may feel that the show just "isn't the same" after he's gone.

"Frankie My Dear" was a very good episode, and Wilt made no appearance in it at all, so I think the show can work without him. Don't take that as an attack on the tall red dude; it's not. I'd miss him, and it wouldn't be the same show without him, but it would still work for a lot of people, me included.

[One Radical Dude]

I agree with Cassini. However, I don't believe Wilt will depart from the show after "Good Wilt Hunting." I can't see that happening. As soon as November arrives, we'll soon find out.

[pitbulllady]

Wilt was the reason I started watching the show in the first place, and I'd stop watching if he left, seriously. I know that "Frankie My Dear" worked without him, BUT that was just ONE episode, and while single episodes can exist with or without certain main characters, to just delete that character from the entire show would be a disaster. "The Big LeBlooski" was a very funny and enjoyable episode for me, even though Frankie did not appear in it, not even once, and "Infernal Slumber" was even better, despite the fact that neither Frankie, Madame Foster or Mr. Herriman made an appearance in THAT episode. However, this does not by any means indicate that the show as a whole could go carry on just as well if Frankie, Madame Foster or Mr. Herriman were removed from the cast, and I really think that the quality would suffer to the extent that I'd still stop watching it. I would certainly NOT make any claim that the show would be just as good, or that it would "work for me", if Frankie left, based on a few episodes in which she did not appear, and I by no means am as fond of Frankie as some of the male forum members, even though she is my second favorite character.

Besides, if Wilt DID leave the show, Frankie would not be far behind, because without his help around the house and running errands, she would not be able to handle the stress and would soon break down. I don't even think that she has ever stopped and thought about just how indispensible Wilt is around the house.

[kageri]

I don't think Wilt would ever be plucked from the cast and the Foster's Five would be indeed lacking without him, but I think the show could go on -- except maybe not, because 75% of the show's fanbase would stop watching. Also, one of the things that I love about Foster's is that there isn't really a "main" character (well, Mac and Bloo are sorta the focus, but you guys know I'm biased), and Bloo, Ed, Wilt, Coco, Frankie and so on are all equally important. Even if I don't like Wilt as much as I like Bloo, he still pulls his weight as a major character.

But if Bloo disappeared, I'd be singing a different tune (like maybe that one song from Titanic), so I guess I can't really talk.

[Chaos Wielder]

Yeah, the show definitely wouldn't be the same if Wilt was taken out of the cast. For one thing, I've seen several people that absolutely HATED Foster's STILL say that they thought that Wilt was a good character, and that has to be saying a lot if someone that hates the show altogether is saying that. However, even if Wilt ever did happen to get adopted and leave Foster's I could still see them working it out to where he made a few appearances on it now and then. For example, say that he began to miss his friends at Foster's, his new kid notices that he misses them and tells him that they can go visit them every now and then. Although that would probably bump him down from a major character to a supporting character, it's still better than nothing, right? ;)

But I don't really think we have anything to worry about because for some reason I'm 99 percent sure that he won't leave the show after GWH, anyway.

"Frankie My Dear" was a very good episode, and Wilt made no appearance in it at all, so I think the show can work without him. Don't take that as an attack on the tall red dude; it's not.

You know, you've got a point there. It really WAS a very good episode with great humor and interesting characters even without Wilt. Bloo's Orlando get-up really had me rolling! 8D But like PBL said, that was just one episode. It would be hard to tell what the others would be like without him.

Now as for me, Wilt, Coco, Eduardo AND Bloo were ALL the ones that actually got me watching this show. I don't think it'd be the same if any of them left the cast, really.

[ch3353-h4xx0rrrr]

Wilt won't leave.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope. -in denial-

GHASP! WHAT IF ALL THIS GOO STUFF IS LEADING UP TO GOO TAKING WILT'S PLACE?! -freaks out-

I like Goo and all, but Wilt is... irreplaceable. If he leaves, I'll send hate mail to my hero, Lauren Faust. It'll break my heart, but the show can't work without Wilt. :'(

[Cassini90125]

GHASP! WHAT IF ALL THIS GOO STUFF IS LEADING UP TO GOO TAKING WILT'S PLACE?! -freaks out-

If that's the case I'm shutting off the TV and spending more time with my Sims.

[kageri]

No but seriously, Wilt won't leave. It doesn't make any sense. It wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. And if Goo replaces him, I'll be a very sad panda indeed.

[pitbulllady]

I really, seriously do not think that the show's creators would get rid of Wilt, or even cut way back on his appearances and reduce him to a supporting character who just pops in every now and then. They obviously know how popular Wilt is, and not just that, but how devoted his fans are, and that to get rid of him would be cutting off their noses to spite their own faces, so to speak. It would certainly not benefit the show, nor help the show maintain its own popularity, to eliminate a major character. I'd thought of the possibility that they could create a "spin-off" show about Wilt, but again, that would hurt Foster's, and break up a group dynamic that works really well, so it would not benefit anyone in the long run.

He's been in the house so long, longer than Frankie's been there.

[x_dummkoff_x]

I think I'm the only one who doesn't really like Wilt. Sure he's nice and sweet, but to me he's TOO nice and sweet. Of course I've only seen a handful of episodes (And the one where he flips out) but I just don't really like him too much.

Hopefully I didn't tick off any of you Wilt fangirls XD

ok,
I just got back from my three day sickness!
and THIS is what I see!
:'( -sniffle-
ya don't gotta be like that!

[LaBlooGirl]

I agree that Wilt's movie better be more emotional then funny, I want to see both, but a pure let-down would make me mad at the Foster's crew....lol, nothing like pressure huh? We fans are really prodding them here...::giggle::
Most of all, I want some clue as to what happened to Wilt, whether it was accident, self-inflicted, or an act of cruelty. I don't even need to know the whole story, I just want to know which one it is. (Because that mystery has been killing me ever since Foster's started. lol)

Me too. Maybe we should take a poll, see what other people think happened.

[One Radical Dude]

I don't know where the idea of Wilt departing after GWH came from, but I'm 100% positive that Wilt will be around for the remainder of the series. If he were to leave or gets adopted, it would probably be at the end of the series, but I'm not really expecting that, either. I hate to say this, but the crew would have to be nuts to send off the Wilt Man this early.


I like Goo and all, but Wilt is... irreplaceable. If he leaves, I'll send hate mail to my hero, Lauren Faust. It'll break my heart, but the show can't work without Wilt. :'(

Hate mail isn't the way to go, and it's immature. Plus, our endorsements go out the window. I don't see the crew getting rid of him, I just don't.

[scary_dream]

Nah.. they would have to WANT Foster's to fail as a show if they moved Wilt to even being in occasional episodes. From what I've seen, his fan base is much too huge to become a secondary character. I'm personally not worried in the slightest, and if anything, hopeful that Good Wilt Hunting will still leave space for even more character development.

Don't be fearful, be hopeful. Obviously Craig/Lauren are NOT idiots, so I don't think they would do something as suicidal as pulling Wilt from the show.

[Sims Katie]

Hate mail isn't the way to go, and it's immature. Plus, our endorsements go out the window. I don't see the crew getting rid of him, I just don't.

Yea, and the last thing we want is to put them off the show with a lot of flames :'(

[InsaneFan]

Yeah, there's no way. How many cartoons are out there that take out a main character, let alone one so popular?

Nope, no worries here.

[Fomalhaut]

About "Good Wilt Hunting"... I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a bluff... like, we don't get to know too many things!
(I just imagined scenes of Wilt losing his arm... under ANY circumstances, could you imagine THAT in Foster's?!)

[basilsunshine]

Yeah, I don't know how graphic it will be allowed to get for a cartoon. But as long as we find out what happens, I'll be happy.

[antgirl1]

Are the 75% of all Foster's fans Wilt fans? LOL!

25% - Bloo

35% - Wilt

20% - Mac

5% - Eduardo (sorry, I know there's more than that)

15% - Coco

Make a chart! 8D

Andmaybe they don't want us to know because it might be more dreadful than we think. :D

[Kzinistzerg]

Oh no! You forgot frankie! *flees the impending explosion*

[LaBlooGirl]

Yeah, I don't know how graphic it will be allowed to get for a cartoon. But as long as we find out what happens, I'll be happy.

What I'm hoping is, Wilt just tells the story. They don't have to show anything. I just want to know, and get that closure, so to speak.

Yeah, that would be sensible, since Wilt CAN(unlike his canine inspiration)talk about what happened to him. Not only that, but he really NEEDS to talk about it, since continuing to bottle that past up inside him is obviously NOT doing him any good. I can see him telling his story to someone else, interspersed with brief, discreet flashbacks, and finally getting all this off his chest, so to speak.

Maybe they'll have Wilt tell the tale of his past, by sitting on a park bench and talk to whomever just happens to be sitting beside him, just like Forrest Gump.

I could definetely see that, because I think actually SHOWING the violence toward Wilt (or any other character for that matter) would be uncharacteristic to the innocence of the show, AND a little much to put on CN.

This brings me to question, though, who would he tell it to? Frankie, maybe? She seems like she would be the most compassionate while still understanding his strong feelings toward it and not asking TOO much. I don't really see the park bench thing, because if he won't even talk about it with his trusted friends, I don't think he'd venture to converse with a total stranger about it, especially if he got scarred in a way that he considered "demeaning" (I mean, whoever did it to him might have warped his mind to think he deserved it in some way, especially if it was an out-of-porportion "punishment" for something he might have done or had blamed on him). Plus, he's the type to not want to trouble other people with his problems (even though the poor guy seriously needs to talk about it!) What do you guys think?

Someone has mentioned it before and I'll mention it again: Maybe the most trusting person might BE a stranger, like a tharipist. (I know I spelt that wrong)

[Sims Katie]

This brings me to question, though, who would he tell it to?

Probably Bloo or Mac, seeing how they're the main characters....

[Kzinistzerg]

Well, it wouldn't be eduardo, or coco, becuase they're just not the type of person you tell stuff to. (or cheese. "and then there was a field with sheep in it..." "Sheep? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!")

Goo probably wouldn't work. Mac would be interesting but it's also possible they might use one of the other characters.

[pitbulllady]

Probably Bloo or Mac, seeing how they're the main characters....


I absolutely cannot see Wilt telling something that important or serious to Bloo, knowing that Bloo would just blow it off or act totally disinterested. Bloo is simply too immature and too self-centered to be able to sympathize with the physical, mental and emotional trauma that Wilt has been through. It would be like a Vietnam vet and former POW trying to tell of what happened to him to a five-year-old child. Mac would be a bit more understanding, but even still, I am not sure that Wilt would burden an eight-year-old with something of that nature. If he does wind up telling that story, it might be either to an adult he trusts, like Frankie, or perhaps to someone from the press. In either case, though, I don't think that Wilt is going to be able to keep his story a secret for much longer. He's already showing signs that the stress is getting to him.

pitbulllady

[Sims Katie]

You say "of that nature" without knowing what the that and nature parts really are. It may not be as OMG tragic as we think.

[Tonya]

Yeah, that'd be a good idea, Wilt telling us his problams. I'm just coming up with random thoughts on how the show could start. We do know how stress has been getting to him latley, right? Well, remember in "Where There's a Wilt There's a Way" when he was pressured so much that he went off? Well, he could be under that same kind of pressure again, only this time THIS kind of pressure trigers his emotions from his past, he gets so mad that he practically snaps and blurts out his past in the midst of going off. Like, you know when something bad has happened to you (or you did something), and when the pressure becomes to much, you blurt it out without really meaning to? Then everyone keeps buging him all day about whatever he blurted untill he finally spits it out a little more, taking baby steps. Hmm, this theory kind of reminds me of "Bus the Two of Us", when the pressure became too much it practically drove him insane.

[pitbulllady]

We KNOW that Wilt was NOT imagined that way by his creator, and even if he DID lose his arm and eye in an accident, something that could not have been prevented, it is STILL "OMG tragic"! Wilt's behavior, as has been discussed many, many times, is pretty typical for someone who has at least undergone severe physical and emotional trauma of some sort, whether or not it was caused by someone's deliberate act of violence.

That makes sense. We already know that the movie will start out with the Annual Imaginary Friend/Creators Picnic, and that Wilt's creator will once again fail to show up or respond. However, apparently this has been the case ever since Wilt showed up at Foster's, so just WHY this particular year should be different, and why he will just NOW decide to go find his creator after all this time(what is it, 22 years?) waits to be seen. It does appear, though, that Wilt has been getting closer and closer to "going over the edge" with recent episodes, so apparently he's having trouble dealing with something. Perhaps his frustration at not being able to locate his creator, or the grief of discovering that his creator is deceased, could be the trigger that results in him finally revealing his past to someone.

pitbulllady

It was maybe because Wilt had lost patance (I know I spelt that wrong) with waiting for his creator to visit, and finally wants to know WHY he/she won't show up. I'd go look for MY family if they never came back for some reason, I'm not an adult, I still need my parents to care for me until I'm old enough to go off by myself. So, I'd understand why he'd go off looking for his creator after so many years of neglect. It happens because they still care about the people who loved/used to love the one in question. I'd do it cuz I care, so he'd probably do it cuz of that as well.

[kageri]

Re "telling stranger on a park bench": He probably wouldn't, but then again, people tell people they've never met on the Internet about serious issues because they don't know them. Or maybe that's not why. Still, I don't think he'd tell Mac or Bloo, as pitbulllady said -- Bloo.... I love him, but he has the attention span of a hummingbird with ADD and isn't the most compassionate person in the world. He'd probably think Mac was too young to hear his story (although, seeing as six-year-olds watch the show and it's on Cartoon Network, I really don't think it could be that bad).

[Cassini90125]

Nobody's mentioned Madam Foster; she'd be a pretty good choice, I think, to hear his story.

[kageri]

Yeah, that would be a good way to show the side of her that came out when she decided to make Foster's in the first place. Interesting change from her standard "kooky, sprightly old lady" thing.

[scary_dream]

Someone has mentioned it before and I'll mention it again: Maybe the most trusting person might BE a stranger, like a tharipist. (I know I spelt that wrong)

There's a HUGE difference between a paid, trained therapist and some loon on a park bench, though.

I mean, if I've got something really heavy on MY mind, I don't get in my car and drive to the park to talk about it with some (possible) crazy sitting on the bench. Estimating on Wilt's secretive nature on the subject AND his want to not trouble others, I'd say this is relatvely unlikely.

I could, however, also perhaps see something like what was posted before, about how he might accidentally let it slip during an outburst.

[Sims Katie]

Nobody's mentioned Madam Foster; she'd be a pretty good choice, I think, to hear his story.

I think she would already know by now.

[LaBlooGirl]

If any of this has been mentioned before, please forgive my mentioning again, I just can't remember.

Would Wilt's creator not want to show up out of GUILT? Because he/she was somehow involved (not even directly) with Wilt's injuries?

Or two...

Is Wilt denying his creator is not around? Does he go in search for someone whose not there, and no one has a clue about this? (That his creator is long dead, for example.) If there was an accident, for instance, the creator could have died and Wilt was the survivor.

Or perhaps we should take the title literally. Perhaps the sport of hunting caused some of Wilt's injuries...
That would be a shocker.
Just some thoughts....this is gonna eat at me until November! LOL

Don't worry, it's already almost September, only about 2-3 months to go. :D

AND, it's airing the day after (not "Tommarow" XD) Thanksgiving! Weird!

And I'll bet that on the month that it airs, that it'll show ADs for it - I'll make sure to watch every last one of them! I don't care if they're short - even a little counts! They're ALL a piece of footage from the movie!

[Fomalhaut]

Well, I don't think it was his creator who did this to him, or at least not on purpose. Otherwise, why would he want to see him/her again?

- still lingering on the "Mac's Mom created Wilt" theory. Now, after Infernal Slumber, we can see that she doesn't know about Mac going to Foster's; probably she doesn't even know about Foster's! And, based on this, she DID really think that Mac was too old for an imaginary friend, she told him that not only because she wanted to get Bloo out of the house. A reason for not showing up! And remember - only Eduardo saw Mac's Mom, Wilt was out in the living room!

So far, the episode description for GWH says Wilt's creator was male, and we know he was created by someone who loved basketball - that doesn't sound like Mac's mother. Also, Wilt has to search for his creator in the episode. Search where, down the street?

The only source that says that Wilt's creator was male is Wikipedia.com, and we all know how reliable THAT is! The summary on Cartoon Network does not mention the gender of Wilt's creator at all. The Wikipedia summary is mere speculation, with no more grounds of reality than what any of us can come up with, myself included, and is based on the incorrect notion that only boys can be into sports, like basketball. That is simply untrue. While we've seen no overt evidence that Mac's mom was into basketball as a kid, we have also seen nothing to suggest that she WASN'T. As an adult, her priorities no doubt have changed greatly, especially with two boys to care for, rent to pay, and a career. There are many girls who love basketball and become quite obsessed with basketball players. For that matter, it's just as much speculation to assume that Wilt's creator was fond of basketball, though it's a very logical conclusion. What would we assume about BLOO'S creator, if we did not know Mac? Or of Red's creator, if we did not know Terrence? Those assumptions, based on what we see in the Imaginary Friends in question, would probably be totally wrong, wouldn't they? Wilt could just has well simply turned out with a fondness and natural ability in basketball, regardless of his creator's interests, just as Red had that fondness for flowers not shared with HIS creator.

My thought was a girl who was the only basketball fan in the place she lived, and probably wanted someone who was like her - loved basketball. Ereka! (misspelled XD) Wilt is born, I guess. Then after whatever it was that happened to Wilt happened, the family has to move, and we know that he was abandoned there. After being abandoned, in some point, he goes to Foster's, where then he was not adopted. The end.

It's like a puzzle, you have to piece the pieces together to find out what it is. (saying you can't see a completed version of it) I think I ruined everything now. 8D

[Sims Katie]

... based on the incorrect notion that only boys can be into sports, like basketball. That is simply untrue.
I never said that, I just said she didn't seem like the type.

Mac's mother is such a minor character that in many ways she's more like a plot device. And whether you agree with me or not, I don't think think she's Wilt's creator. I think its going to be someone we've never met.

I never claimed that YOU said that, now did I? I DID say that whoever wrote that summary on Wikipedia.com is the ONLY source claiming that Wilt's creator was male, and that this person most likely based that notion on a belief that only a boy could be that much into sports to have created an IF that was also into a particular sport. What would be the reasoning, after all, for insisting that Wilt's creator HAS to be male, when there's been no evidence pointing to one gender over the other? My little hypothesis that Wilt was created by Mac's mom is just that-a hypothesis-though there is as much evidence to point in that direction as there is pointing towards his creator having been male by default. People's tastes and priorities change, often drastically, as they grow up. Things that meant a lot to a person when they were a kid often cease to have any importance to them as adults. Whoever created Wilt as a child might very well have been really obsessed with basketball, or a particular basketball player, but as time progressed, and that person grew up, began dating, got married, had kids, had to get a job, buy or rent a home, buy a car, and all the other hassels that are part of being an adult, that basketball obsession might very well become a dim and faded childhood memory...like his/her Imaginary Friend. I can say from personal experience that many of the things that were VERY important to me as a child, are all but forgotten now, and that most people who meet me probably would never figure me for "the type" to have liked those things at any point in my life.

I can vouch for that; whenever I was little, I wanted to be a ballerina SO bad. Now I'm just like "Eh... ballerina... no thanks."

I just came up with a theory, and I'm sorry if it might have been mentioned before, but what if Wilt got abandoned by accident? Like maybe for some reason he and his creator got separated by accident and he was left thinking he or she abandoned him and the creator was left thinking that Wilt didn't like him or her anymore. I mean, this would be especially plausible if they had just had some sort of argument or misunderstanding or something. That would also kind of explain why the creator never came to Foster's... maybe they created Wilt somewhat in their image (abandoned or not, you can tell that he was a pretty nice guy to begin with) and is extremely careful not to tread on others' feelings and therefore doesn't want to "bother" him if they think he's happier there without them.

While it of course doesn't explain the injuries (they could have happened anywhere in between separation and Foster's), it could explain Wilt's abandonment issues and weakness to become a door mat to just about anyone... he might not want to make others angry with him for fear of being forsaken at the drop of a hat again.

[Sims Katie]

That's also possible, scary.

Another idea is that his creator isn't unkind but simply outgrew imaginary friends and doesn't think about him. Wilt's been at Foster's for almost 20 years, so whoever imagined him would be an adult now. Imaginary friends would be the last thing on their mind (Look at Imaginary Man and Nemesister. Their creators did come back, but not until they were already grown up with children of their own, and only because they heard about the friends again)

Yeah, and the episode called much attention to how unusual it was for adults to reclaim their Imaginary Friends from childhood, too. Frankie was so stunned that it was like she didn't know quite how to react, and no doubt in her years at Foster's she has seen it all, when it comes to adoptions and abandonment.

Now, arn't we all making up thoughts on how Wilt's past could've gone, who wants to vote on who you think is right? :D

[scary_dream]

I don't want to vote because I've found in my 18 years of living that I'm usually wrong... I seriously can't even predict movies very well! 8D

Plus, I don't want to consider anyone correct at this moment or come to expect anything, because whenever November comes, I want it to be a total surprise. You know the feeling - it'd be like opening a Christmas present after making guesses at it all season long, and some of the guesses may have been right, so it's just not that huge of a shocker anymore.

Not that I'm saying that GWH isn't going to be huge to me (it is!), but I still want to keep myself from guessing TOO much.

[antgirl1]

Oh, I see. What if it turns out to be something we never thought of? That would rock. XD

"What if it turns out to be something we never thought of?"

What if it does, but in the most disappointing way? :3 I'm not trying to be pessimistic. You've all laid out some really good stuff and these in-depth discussions and speculations will probably make the real thing seem bleak, specially if GWH isn't packed with the emotional drama we're craving. Darn it, I wanna see some tears! I don't want any disappointments.

And on the topic of Wilt's creator...
I'd prefer it so much if she were a girl. It would definitely throw a lot of people off, don't you think?

I think it would throw a lot of people off-guard, too, if Wilt's creator turned out to be female, since many people DO assume that boy are the ones who are primarily going to be obsessed with sports and sports celebrities.

I, too, will be disappointed by a lack of deep emotional moments in Good Wilt Hunting, though I would definately want it to end on a positive note. I want to finally see Wilt have some sort of closure to this particular chapter in his life, since it is apparently causing him some problems even now. If that's not what's generating his emotional/mental turmoil, SOMETHING sure is!

pitbulllady

[antgirl1]

We do know that BOTH Ed's and Coco's creators were both girls...if it's the same for Wilt, then they're ALL very different girls! XD

Yeah, although I know that the creators will NOT let us down in the sense that it will be a great special ep, like you said I'm still hoping that it comes to meet everyone's expectations. While I know they can't make the whole thing stone serious, I at least hope that Wilt's past is treated with the respect it deserves and brings him (and all of us!) some closure.

I could see Wilt's creator being a girl... after all, (and I'm not being sexist - you know it's true), most young girls tend to be more mild-mannered than most young and somewhat rambunctious boys. Someone as gentle-hearted as Wilt could definetely have come from a young girl. While I know that IFs pretty much have their own personalities on most aspects, having someone kind imagine him and hang out with him could contribute greatly to his personality.

(Hey now, I'm not saying that it's NOT a boy, though, because I know all things have exceptions)

[Kzinistzerg]

Well, look at Mac, he's nice.

In any case I jsut hope they work everything together well.

[scary_dream]

That's my point - there are exceptions. Therefore I'm trying not to be quick to assume anything!

[antgirl1]

About the "Good Wilt Hunting" thing....when it airs I hope I live in the end. (knowing me I *could* get a heart attack from over-excitment, although I have no heart problems that I know of XD)

[DoubleLatte]

I know. I'll probably do something stupid like forget. I just hope I don't find myself cramming for a test or finishing up a report on that particular weekend!

[scary_dream]

I don't think I could forget it because I've been waiting on it for so long (plus, I don't think that Cartoon Network is going to let us forget about it.) The thing I'm worried about is that I have to work on that night and my VCR doesn't record from the TV for some reason. I'm going to demand that my boyfriend Tivo it, and if he doesn't, he will pay.

However, it's such a huge thing, even if anyone does forget it or miss it, I'm sure it will be rerun several times.

[Imaginary Light]

Yeah, I'm just scared that work is going to conflict with when GWH airs, and then I set a tape for it, but the power goes out. That kind of stuff always seems to happen. But I can't wait for it to air! I will laugh if someone from this board's theory was actually correct.

[Kzinistzerg]

it would be even more hilarious if they were scanning this board for ideas.

[scary_dream]

Yes, bad luck always happens to me as well... like once I was trying to watch a special thing on TV (not equal in magnitude to GWH but still something I reallllly wanted to see) and then a storm hit in the middle of it and my Dish Network went out for about thirty minutes. I missed the entire ending :frankiemad:

My luck, after my boyfriend Tivos it, the box will short out or something and all of it will be either fried or completely reset.

Man... I DON'T want to miss this. I think I'd cry.

Look at the KND movie - I only got to see it three times, no more...and I don't think it's airing again.

So, my VSR is broken, won't record for beans, and November's just around the corner. Annnnd, we can't get one! Not even for christmas! So....I'll have to see ALL OF THE AIRINGS IF I WANT TO MEMORIZE WHAT HAPPENS. Cuz I can't record it like you people can so you guys can watch it anytime, I can't do that...my VSR ruins the tapes.

And, if they were looking for ideas so bad, they could just E-Mail us an idea, not that they can use it anyway. XDD

I've never watched the KND movie, but I've seen it on the TV guide bunches of times... I don't really think it's THAT rare. Besides, they haven't in a while with all the new episodes, but they STILL sometimes play the pilot to Foster's. All is not lost, I'm sure.

However, I can't record it at my house either... I have to wait for my boyfriend to do it. :S I trust him, but I know something will go wrong. It usually seems that the more I want to see something, the more stuff happens to make me NOT see it.

Tis cool. I like it becuase from what I heard the RIAA has been winning their court cases so I just been downloading things legally for now on just to cover myself.

Though I am P.O.ed that I lost all the music I bought when my computer died.

My brother is tempted to start DLing Foster's Episodes because he really is starting to like the series. :D

[antgirl1]

All I think of Itunes is Another thing that you have to buy stuff from for it to WORK...

You don't have to buy anything. I had all my MP3s on it and it worked great. I was able to keep all my music all nice and organized.

[antgirl1]

Matchsticks, the icon you use and the words underneath it remind me of Cinderella. In "Inferno Slumber", when Wilt was cleaning and stuff, it reminded me of the things CINDERELLA had to clean!

If there was a play about the story of Cinderella, Wilt would make a good "Wilterella", (can't stop laughing about that XDDDDD) if you know what I mean, then Bloo and Mac could be his step brothers, then MADAME FOSTER (or Frankie) could be the step mother!

Or...

Frankie could be Cinderella, Bloo and Coco were her step siblings, and Mr. Herriman her step father!

[Matchsticks]

I musta missed that Episode (or I have forgotten it because I have the memory span of a goldfish). Can someone tell me the title?

Wilt and Frankie are the Cinderlla's of Foster's (They both work hard and usually end up getting the short end of the stick T_T) One day something awesome good is going to happen to them and that will be a very happy episode for me.

Yep I agree with that statement, but not because I hate that episode (Which I don't) but because this is supposed to be a thread about Wilt, unless you want to talk about Wilt's involvement in that episode, and yes he did appear in a few scenes if my memory serves me correctly.

So there you go.

[x_dummkoff_x]

y'know,
I got this random thought,
y'know how wilt has those gecko-like fingers?
yeah, do you think they're webbed too?

[pitbulllady]

y'know,
I got this random thought,
y'know how wilt has those gecko-like fingers?
yeah, do you think they're webbed too?

No, if Wilt had webbed toes and fingers, you would be able to SEE them. Geckoes don't have webbed fingers, by the way, since they are not aquatic, but arboreal. Wilt probably has those rows of velvety-feeling tiny hairlike structures on his fingertips, just like some lizards(not just geckoes)and tarantula spiders, which are called "scopulae", and are designed to help with gripping things and, in the case of the tarantulas and lizards, clinging to vertical surfaces via the the surface tension fine layer of water vapor which covers virtually everything. Those finger and toe pads do NOT feel "sticky", like a tree frog's, by the way, but have a velvety texture to them. I've had many a lizard and many a tarantula walking around on me, to be able to find out! In Wilt's case, these probably help to grip a basketball, so he would not have to resort to doing illegal things like putting resin on his hands, like basketball players sometimes do. Since he has shown no indication that he even likes swimming, he would not need webbed digits, which are designed to enhance swimming ability.

Ooooooooh, another idea on Wilt's past! Shark attack when swimming, then doesn't want to anymore......wait....

How the hell would a shark do this to him?! 8D Biting off the majority of Wilt's left arm, that's understandable, but MAKING CUTS ON HIS HEAD AND EATING HIS LEFT EYE? I don think so...

[scary_dream]

Lol! I haven't been here in a few days, so maybe I missed it, but did someone actually suggest a shark-attack theory?

Nonetheless, whenever you make me think about it... I'd hate for a shark to eat MY left eye. Wouldn't that make for a great story, though?

"Yo... what happened to your eye?"
"Shark attack."
"Seriously? Like, he JUST took the eye?"
"Yup."
"But... how did he not take your whol-"
"Weirdest shark you've ever seen, man. Seriously."

But anyhow... now that everyone is talking about Wilt swimming... I was thinking - wouldn't it be a little difficult for him to swim? He's long and thin (as are his limbs) and it just seems like a shape like that wouldn't get very much propulsion through the water. Maybe the large feet count for something, though? ??? I dunno. I'm sure he'd find a way, because he hasn't let anything stop him from doing what he wants thus far.

[Matchsticks]

Well, in the Big Fat Awesome House party (if you wanna consider it Cannon) He did say he could not wait to swim some laps in the pool or something to that effect.

But, it looks to me like George Mucous(that IS George, isnt' it?)is the one saying that, not Wilt. I really do NOT want to visualize George in a swimming pool, though.

Wilt COULD still swim, even with one arm. Remember that teenage surfer girl, Bethany Somethingorother, from Kauai who got her left arm bitten off by a Tiger Shark a few years ago? She still swims and surfs, competitively. I knew a guy(he's dead now, though)who lost his left arm in the Korean War, who was an avid endurance swimmer. He had someone fashion this paddle that he strapped to the stump of his left arm. He has about the same amount of stump left that Wilt has, and he could steer a car with it, pick things up with it, and even shoot billiards with it. He was one of those lean, sinewy types, too, just like Wilt.

Still, it would be difficult, if not impossible, for a shark to bite off Wilt's left arm AND his eye, and cause surgical-clean injuries on either side of his face, without taking his whole HEAD off! I've seen shark bites, and they aren't clean and neat!

I wasn't doubting that he could swim based on his lack of an arm, I was just thinking of his extreme thin-ness. It just seems like Wilt would be TOO hydrodynamic. But eh, I suppose the screen shots prove that he's not got troubles with it.

Honestly, I think either one would forfit because they don't want to hurt each other, so basicly there'd be NO WINNER. XD

if they got REALLY pissed or something like that!

[pitbulllady]

I seriously do NOT think that those two would ever get mad enough at each other to physically fight. The worst point they'd get to is best exemplified by that childish back-and-forth bickering they did in "Room With a Feud".

well SORRY!
I guess I just can't wonder stuff!

[antgirl1]

well SORRY!
I guess I just can't wonder stuff!

You can all you want, it's just that...well...they just...can't.

But if you want my opinion, I think Wilt would win, probably for being real fast, - not really hurting Ed much, mostly evading - and then in the end waring Ed out...But, even if Wilt DID hit Ed, he would say "sorry" for every blow, no matter how mad he gets, he'd probably regret fighting with Ed in the first place when it's over. XD

And another thing, what would BLOO do if he saw Wilt and Ed physically fighting each other?! That might draw up some laughs. 8D

[Cassini90125]

I think we need to stop this discussion right here and move on, okay?

[antgirl1]

I'm sorry, but I don't think we could come up with something less...fightful.

*thinks*

Um, this came off the top of my head, but...what if Wilt WASN'T the only one abandoned when his family moved? I've heard that some people who move, their pets are left behind. When my family moved to where I live now, we heard about a 1-3 year old cat who became a stray when her owner moved. So we took her in, and she lived a happy life with my family, whom she had past away over a month ago.

So what IF Wilt wasn't the only one abandoned when he was?

[Cassini90125]

It's possible that others might have been abandoned with him, either pets or possibly the IFs of his creator's siblings (if any), but then there's the question of how he got separated from them. We just don't know how or why Wilt and his creator parted company so it's hard to say much about it, although we can certainly speculate as much as we like. Hopefully Good Wilt Hunting will shed some light on the subject. :)

"Original movies also coming down the pipeline are OPERATION: Z.E.R.O. starring the Codename: Kids Next Door vs. tapioca-eating Senior Citizombies, and the gang from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends in Good Wilt Hunting, a poignant story about imaginary friends coming back to visit their creators.

"Original movies also coming down the pipeline are OPERATION: Z.E.R.O. starring the Codename: Kids Next Door vs. tapioca-eating Senior Citizombies, and the gang from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends in Good Wilt Hunting, a poignant story about imaginary friends coming back to visit their creators. "

Note the use of the word "poignant" here.

Oh, FINALLY we know! Now at least it won't be ENTIRELY infested with humor. XD

[Kzinistzerg]

That's good. TOO much hunmor sometimes ruins the essence of something in that you lose some of teh great storytelling.

like House of Bloos ohad a few hilarious aprts but was a great story, too. and sad parts, like mac in a closet.

[InsaneFan]

YES. *is an emotional-stuff loving fool*

[scary_dream]

Oh hurrah!

I love the way they described GWH! It makes me so happy to know that they're going to treat it somewhat seriously. I mean, I know they can't make it ALL emotional and such, but at least now we know they aren't going to make it all fun and games, either.

Thanks, PBL! :D

[antgirl1]

Now what do we want to talk about that will be interesting for the next two months?

[Matchsticks]

We can think of awesome Wilt-based conspircy theories.

[Tonya]

Hmmmm. *thinks* Hmmmmm.......

I wonder what Wilt would think of all the things we say about him? And draw of him? We all know that he'd be flatterd by all our beautiful fanart, and mabe even some other "art" that would most likley freak him out...and us.
And I wonder what he'd think of some of our fan-fics about him? And I wonder what he'd think of having all these fangirls?
I'd ask what kind of girl he'd be interested in, but that would get waaaay to messy, it would start a WW3, so I will not ask! But if you all wanna ask this question yourselfs that's fine, the question would be your responsibility then, not mine. Let's see, what else?
What if he were a girl? Yes, it's a weird question, I'm beginning to sound like Goo now.

I'm just asking all kinds of random questions coming off the top of my head, so pick any you wanna answer if you want. I can't think of anymore right now.

He'd probably blush even redder at some of the slashy ones!

Hmm... while I'm sure he WOULD be flattered by all the attention, he'd (unfortunately for him) have the "boy band syndrome" with which he couldn't even go OUTSIDE without fangirls tackling him and stealing his socks.

He'd have to buy a lot of socks 8D not to mention the constant attention would probably get a little unnerving.

[antgirl1]

What if he were a girl?

What if he IS a girl and no one (not even Bloo) realizes? XDD

If (s)he is the fangirls better think whether or not they're actually (I'm not saying the word).

OR NOT! IGNORE STATEMENTS ABOVE.

Ok, ok....I gotz a reasonable one! Yay me.

What kind of dreams does Wilt dream about when he's sleeping? Nightmares?

Here's a good guess on dreaming (yes I drew a picture XD) : http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36426668/

Nightmares: If I had to guess, it would probably have to do with his past, or losing his creator, or maybe something else.

[Matchsticks]

Nightmares...I would say they are probably off kilter versions of what happened past wise.

[Tonya]

Nightmares? I agree, they'd be mostly about his past, having to do with his creator and such.
And YES, he would absolutly have the "boy band syndrome" as you put it!
Imagine, all those girls climbing the fence and screaming "WILT I LOVE YOU!", "MARRY ME!".....and mabe even "I WANT TO BE THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD!!!".
Gee, I feel sorry for the guy now. I bet Bloo would just love the attention, imagine him.... But of course, that will be for the "Bloo" thread, but you know how he'd act. I just might mention it there.

[scary_dream]

Hah yeah, Bloo would eat it up...

Luckily for Wilt, he's tall/fast enough to evade them for a while. I can imagine him running from them being similar to the scene from Love Potion #9 whenever the chick drinks the concentrated form and EVERYONE is chasing her down the street! 8D Eventually they'd corner him, though...

Wilt: "I'm really sorry but... AUGHHH!!" *girls tackle Wilt*

Random Girl: "EEEEEEEEE I GOT A SOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*Wilt manages to get up, but with comical kissy-prints all over his face*

And nightmares... aside from the obvious (his past), I'm trying to think of other things he might have them about. I know sometimes people dream about things that are really nightmares to just THEM, kinda like how I have horrible dreams about being extremely late (I HATE being late!)

Maybe he would dream about trying to help people, but only accidentally making things worse.

[antgirl1]

Wilt: "I'm really sorry but... AUGHHH!!" *girls tackle Wilt*

Random Girl: "EEEEEEEEE I GOT A SOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*Wilt manages to get up, but with comical kissy-prints all over his face*


We all know that socks arn't THAT important, but I guess if it's Wilt's sock then it's "all-that". XD

Hee hee, kissy prints. XD

[InsaneFan]

Hey, I want his socks! :bloogrin

[Matchsticks]

I want the snazzu suit he wore in Neighbor Pains for all of 3 seconds (he was pretending to get his shoes shined by Bloo)

[InsaneFan]

I want that Herriman disguise he put on. =3

Heck, I want Wilt! :D Not like how some girls do, though...:o I want him for my buddy.

[Matchsticks]

Herriman, a wealthy man, Orlando Bloo...Wilt is a master of disguise. (Which goes along with my theory that Wilt can do almost anything. I bet if we put a cape around his neck he could fly)

[Cassini90125]

I'll bet he can't. :P

[InsaneFan]

Shut up, in his fangirls minds he can. XP

[Tonya]

Yay, Wilt flies!! *girly sqeals* EEEEE! WAAY TO GOOOO!

Just a random thought, I have this amusing image in my head of him all cuddled in his girls arms, purring like a sweet little kitty :D . Awwww.

[InsaneFan]

XD That thought was almost as scary as the squirrel Wilt that someone brought up a while ago...

[antgirl1]

XD That thought was almost as scary as the squirrel Wilt that someone brought up a while ago...

Oh, MAN. That one was weird!

Yay, Wilt flies!!

Hey now, if Wilt can fly, just think how easy it is to excape the fangirls! XDDD

I'll bet he can't. :P

And I'll bet if he had wings he could. XD

[LaBlooGirl]

Yay, Wilt flies!! *girly sqeals* EEEEE! WAAY TO GOOOO!

OMG, this thread is getting hilarious! Tonya, thanks for putting such an adorable scene into my head.
::silly gigglefits:: Now I want to go hug a Wilt.....:D

About Wilt's dreams...I like the one where he's dreaming about basketball. (duh.) :) But also, he may have nightmares about his "accident", however it happened. But since dreaming is healthy, it would actually help him deal with it, or at least I suspect it would.

Aw does that mean Ed would get up if he knew Wilt was having a nightmare, and try to cheer him up? You know Ed... :bloogrin

[Tonya]

Your welcome! It's just that...how do I put it in a right way? "It tickles my fancy", as it may any girls, the thoughts of him laying in her arms, purring. Mabe I get the hots at the thoughts of him purring because I love cats? Hmm.
Or, OOH! I got one! Even better than the purring. What if he growled, y'know, a sexy growl? His growl might change the world forevever, for the ladias anyways.

[scary_dream]

HAHA oh man, if Wilt were to do the "sexy growl" thing to his fangirls, they'd have to be institutionalized! Seriously, if he did it in a large crowd of girls, there would be fist fights, riots, and eventually structure fires. 8D

I really can't say much, though... look at my signature for crying out loud. ::)

Lol I can't help it... he's just so awesome.

LOL, I'm starting to think that to have something in my sig look like this:

:D <--- You know who this is!
--
:D <--- All the ladies love me!
--
:wiltshock: <--- Hey, what'cha doin' with that lipstick?

[scary_dream]

Haha I love the last one!

I'm thinking of changing my AV to a picture of him with kissy-prints. 8D

[Sparky]

:wiltshock: <--- Hey, what'cha doin' with that lipstick?


Lol! 8D That's so cute.

[Sims Katie]

You're all crazy :P

I love Wilt too, but lets give the lad some breathing room 8D

[Matchsticks]

Thats right Sims Katie!

Beside if we wanna prove that we really love him we would either get him a bed or Bloo a racecar bed (so Wilt can have his old one back)

[pitbulllady]

Yeah, I'm no sadist, and I can't see tormenting Wilt after all he's been through, though I have to admit his expression in CG's drawing where lil' Frankie had him play dress-up WAS funny! Seeing how he reacted to Eduardo wanting the pink hair clips in "Squeaker Boxx", though, it's pretty obvious that Wilt can be almost as bad as "Imaginary Man" when it comes to disliking "sissy" stuff!

pitbulllady

[Thornwhistle]

Yep,Wilt is a manly imaginary friend.
