Yes, I can always count on you for superb Wilt and Randall art! After watching yesterday's new episode of Foster's, the personality similarities between those two is even more obvious now!

Yeah, Wilt is really showing a LOT of Randall-like characteristics, personality-wise, only it doesn't take Wilt two freakin' YEARS to "snap"-he can go from Mr. Nice Guy to Psycho in less than an hour! Wilt does NOT handle pressure or stress well, AT ALL. In the most-recent episode, "Bus The Two of Us", Bloo stole the Foster's bus, on a whim, when he saw that Frankie(the young woman who is the "Estate Manager"-read: cook, nurse, janitor-of Foster's Home, and granddaughter of the home's owner) had inadvertantly left the keys on the bus, along with her purse, following a trip to the supermarket. Bloo more or less hijacked Mac, his eight(or nine?)-year-old creator, from school to go joyriding. A panicky Mac found Frankie's cell phone in her purse and called Foster's Home, and Wilt answered. Mac begged Wilt to cover for them, knowing that Bloo would get in such awful trouble that he'd probably get kicked out of Foster's, which would mean that Mac would no longer be able to visit him. In spite of Bloo's behavior, Mac sticks by him like glue, which makes the kid very special to Wilt, who has some major abandonment issues, having been abandoned to his fate decades ago. Mac promised he'd convince Bloo to have the bus back within a few minutes, if Wilt could just keep Frankie and Mr. Herriman, the rules-obsessed, anal-retentive rabbit Imaginary Friend who actually runs the place, from discovering that the bus is missing. Wilt reluctantly agrees, even though it means he has to lie and be deceitful, something he hates. Wilt winds up doing some really desparate things to hide the fact that the bus is missing, as Bloo refuses to take it home, and winds up getting lost while trying to drag-race...in an old school bus, against a bunch of The Fast And The Furious wannabe's. Wilt ends up actually DELIBERATELY throwing Mr. Herriman down a flight of stairs, to keep him from going out to where the bus is SUPPOSED to be, among other things, and you can see him really starting to lose it. He winds up blessing Mac out on the phone when the kid calls to tell him they're gonna be late, in a fit that would probably have impressed Randall with his scaring ability! He was a total basket case by the end of this episode, but I think what shocked so many people was that Wilt WOULD resort to physical violence so quickly in order to keep a promise, just as Randall did to appease his boss, although Wilt's reaction was not so much out of fear for himself, as for the very two who were causing him all this trouble in the first place-Mac and Bloo, ESPECIALLY Bloo! I would SO not have wanted to be Bloo, when he finally runs into Wilt again; Mike Wazowski only THOUGHT that RANDALL was a tough customer to deal with! I know that a lot of Randall-haters, and even people who are pretty ambivilent about him, don't think that Randall has a conscience, or is capable of feeling guilt or would even acknowledge that what he was doing in the movie was wrong, but of course, THEY are wrong. I firmly believe that the worst of Randall's stress, and its resultant effect on his behavior, was due to repressed GUILT over having to build this machine, knowing what it MIGHT do to human kids, and knowing that bringing a human child into the Monster World in the first place was very wrong. Most of Wilt's stress in this last episode, and his violently unpredictable behavior, was caused by guilt of having to lie about the bus and deceive the people who gave him a home in the first place, and then having to do bad things to cover up the lies, which is pretty much the case with Randall, too. He just finally reaches a point where he "goes off' and can't deal with it anymore. In recent episodes, Wilt has been having these bad days, when he seems less and less able to handle stressful or unpleasant situations, more and more often. I don't know if maybe he needs some medication(he sure could have used some Xanex and some blood pressure medicine in last night's ep, that's for certain) or needs to start seeing a therapist, or what, but his self-esteem is starting to get lower than a snake's belly button, and his temper is getting shorter and shorter. I guess it's all gonna culminate with the movie about him and his past and his search for the creator who abandoned him years ago, which airs in November, but like I said, I'm seeing a lot of Randall-like behavior in him, in a bad way. pitbulllady |

Yeah, that is a great comparison. Funny how most simpletons would probably say that Ran and Wilt have absolutely :nothing: in common.  They're doing a Wilt movie? Awesome, I look forward to seeing that! |

I love your doodles! They're so funny!  It's funny, because on the surface, and in the older episodes, most would say that Wilt and Randall are different- Wilt seems so polite, and I don't think anyone would ever call him 'evil'. But Randall is branded 'evil' almost constantly by those who can't be bothered to look beyond their initial judgements. I guess deep inside, the two of them are actually quite similar, but show it in different ways. |

But Randall is branded 'evil' almost constantly by those who can't be bothered to look beyond their initial judgements. I guess deep inside, the two of them are actually quite similar, but show it in different ways. After some of the latest episodes to air here in the US, I have seen people use terms like, "Nut-case", "Schizophrenic", and "unpredictable" to describe Wilt's behavior. He IS very sweet and polite and helpful...as long as he is not under too much pressure, or having to do something that he knows is wrong, or having to compete against someone. Put Wilt in any of those positions, and he shows a VERY different side! Wilt reaches a point where he just reacts, like a cornered animal, without thinking, until it's too late, like when he threw Mr. Herriman down the stairs. That was no accident, and while he did apologize several times while we hear ole' Peter Cottonbutt crashing down the stairscase, he still closes the door to hide what he's just done from others, and does not make any effort to go and check on Mr. Herriman to see if he's OK(from the sound of groans coming from the bottom of the stairs, he wasn't). I've kinda figured something like that would happen sooner or later, since Wilt has been showing a bit of impatience with Herriman's rules lately(can't say I blame him), and in "The Big Picture", he clenches his fist and sorta "snarls" behind Herriman's back(MUCH like Randall does behind Waternoose's back in that scene with the Scream Extractor) over the rabbit's decision regarding Wilt's position in the annual Foster's Home photograph, which will result in Wilt's face being hidden behind a banner, a la Mike Wazowski, once again. Wilt's behavior when under acute stress makes me wonder just how RANDALL would behave if the whole business with the Scream Extractor had not happened, and there was no competition between employees for the position of Top Scarer, but everyone just got paid to do their jobs and given fair recognition. Given the description of a Type Three personality, which Randall is, and its similarities to a Type Two, which Wilt is(though Wilt comes close to being a Type Three himself where competition is involved), it's not difficult for me to see Randall as a very nice, polite and funny guy to be around, seeing as how quickly Wilt can become a nervous wreck, with unpredictably violent outbursts, when he is under too much stress, especially guilt-induced stress. If a person were to have started watching "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" with that episode("Bus The Two of Us"), and knew little about the show or its characters before that, they probably would not have been left with a very favorable impression of Wilt, but rather, of someone who is neurotic, insecure, has an explosive temper, sneaky, deceitful, dishonest, does not like little kids and is not above hurting others to achieve his goals-in other words, pretty much some of the same things that many people believe of Randall! Since we know that this is NOT what Wilt is normally like though, it's just as reasonable to assume that what we saw in "Monsters, Inc." is NOT what RANDALL would have normally been like, either! pitbulllady |
