Goo

[Mr. Marshmallow]

The thing with Goo is they really toss around her ability to make imaginary friends too lightly. Mac and Terrance show that it takes time to really put into effort into making an imaginary friend, and that popping them out is just plain cheap.

Half assed imaginary friends get created on pure whims and that makes me kinda feel bad knowing they got pumped out of Goo simply because she can't keep her mind (or her mouth at times) shut. I too think Goo gets way too agressive with certain characters.

She has an annoying sense of arrogance and rudeness about her, for someone who's Mac's "friend", she sure doesn't act like one. "Big Cheese" showed her like she was some kind of super professional and that Frankie and Mac's attempts were a joke.

Even if she got the code out of Cheese, she bragged like she was so masterful before and didn't seem to care the house was getting smashed which was the whole POINT of getting the code to look good for the photo shoot.

The only reason Goo could read Cheese properly is because she's as scatter brained as he is.

I agree. But let me ask you this, is that annoying thing also in another character we love? Like Bloo? Go really cares. But like Bloo she gets so preoccupied with what she's currently doing that she throws other peoples feelings out the window.

[Mr. Marshmallow]

But that's Bloo's nature. Goo was introduced as someone not nearly as bossy, rude, and ego based in her episode. Bloo is by nature this whiny, selfish, and at times, incredibly stupid character that has basically become his entire gimmick.

The thing with Goo is also that unlike Bloo, things seem to go her way or work out for her more so then Bloo. Bloo's schemes or plans usually end up biting him in the ass in the long run, the show MOSTLY has a sort of karma thing going.

But nothing EVER bad happens to Goo either. Mac, Bloo, Frankie, Mr. Herriman, Wilt, Eduardo, they have all had bad things happen to them and situations turn sour. But nothing phases or harms Goo with the exception of Mac's snap attack.

Other then his screaming fit at her, Goo remains free to do and act the way she wants with zero consequences.

I agree whole-heartedly. However, if we're going to use the whole "she wasn't introduced as such" argument, Bloo also wasn't introduced as the character he would become. Granted, this is due more to a story fact than anything else (him still reeling from having been put into Foster's), but I'm just saying.

I'm expecting a partial turn-around of this in "Make Believe It or Not". Not guarenteeing it, but I am expecting one.

To be honest, Goo's current aggressive streak leaves me worried. While I still like the character, I have a hard time accepting such an about-face of her character from her first appearance. If anything, I hope they correct that.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Goo created all those hundreds of imaginary friends, but she never even took the time to get to know them. She just kinda let them get adopted by a bunch of other people. And when she created the green friend, the purple friend, and the silver friend in The Big Picture and boy of spotted tongue and Japanese-speaking Bloo in Bus the Two of Us and nobody reproached her, (I know she was trying to be helpful) it makes me sad. Imaginary friends aren't just created for one-time uses and passed on to some other kid.

Yeah, "Make Believe It or Not" may be the episode that does that, but I really don't know.

Goo's "new" aggressive and even somewhat braggy (I say braggy because when she says "leave it to the professionals" in "The Big Cheese" that kind of sounded a bit braggy and SLIGHTLY pompous to me, but that's just what I think) behavior is even bothering me a bit too. It's like she has a bipolar personality now! Personally, I still like her too, but like I said awhile back, I don't like how she was being overused because it was taking away from her character. Hopefully "MBIoN" will fix that, though.

You all that have mentioned the fact that Goo hasn't really taken time to get to know the friends she creates have a good point as well. I never really thought about that. In that episode she really DID just create friends then just turned around and sent them out for adoption without even getting to know them or anything. Heck, did she even name any of them because now that I think about it I don't even think she did that.

You're half-right; she didn't get to know them on any intricate level, but she did at least on some basic one (primarily because she created them), as well as the fact that she at least named some of them, as she does say the name of one friend who she's recommending to that kid at the end. Not that she got to know her creations on any deep, intricate level; but then again, at the time she herself didn't seem to understand the concept of having an imaginary friend, or even real friendship for that matter, until near the end of that episode.

That being said, I find it fitting that, of the IFs, the one she seems to have really bonded with is Coco. Her mistreatment of Eduardo, however, really confuses the hell out of me. I wish the writers had given us SOME kind of explanation for this, especially with how impressed she initially seemed with him.

[Kzinistzerg]

Shruple, I think it was. With the gravy.

Yeah, I really don't understand the eduardo thing either.

Oh, so she DID name some of them. Sorry, I couldn't exactly remember for sure whether or not she did. Guess that clears it up.

I'd also say that she really seems to have bonded with Coco the most out of the IFs at Foster's. I could actually see that coming, though, to be honest because the two of them have such similar personalities and seem to have similar interests as well. I don't really like how she has mistreated Eduardo, either, honestly. I mean, what has he done to make her so hostile and bossy toward him?

[Nathander]

Again, the Eduardo thing confuses me to no end. The only real idea I have concerning it is the fact that Goo sees a bit of herself that she doesn't like (her crybaby side, which we have seen demonstrated at least once in "Go Goo Go"), and thus lashes out at Eduardo as a means to lash out against something about herself she dislikes.

Most likely, though, this is overanalyzation, and we'll never get any conformation as to why Goo dislikes Ed so badly.
