I tend to disagree as well, NOT so much because of Wilt's condition, but because of the episode, "Eddie Monster". Basically, what those kids were doing down at the junkyard, and sole purpose behind them creating their Extremasaurs, was the Imaginary equivalent of dog-fighting. That was little different from kids in real life stealing Pit Bulls and other dogs, hiding them in abandoned buildings, and pitting them against each other in places like junkyards, old warehouses, vacant lots, etc. It's the whole, "My dog can beat up your dog, so that means you have to respect me" mentality, only with Extremasaurs instead of dogs. Even though it was handled in a comedic way, without the blood and gore associated with real dog-fights, there was still that strong implication that Eduardo WAS in real danger of being hurt or killed. That is a pretty strong and controversial subject matter to take up, when you think about it, and these sorts of activities ARE often associated with gang behavior, so I don't think that the Foster's creativity crew would be afraid to tackle other such issues. They would just do that in such a way that the little kids really would not "get it", and would just see a funny, albeit somewhat tense, situation, but older viewers would be able to "read between the lines" and figure it out.
