Y'all are aware of course, of the M.I. comic being released in August, in which Randall will apparently be type-cast as the "bad guy". The artist just posted some new cover art to her DA page, it seems that WATERNOOSE will escape from prison in that same comic, or the follow-up. THAT could prove to be an interesting plot twist, in that it might not be Randall who is causing all the trouble at the factory, after all, and HE certainly would be nowhere near the threat to Sulley that Waternoose would be! It's kinda interesting, though, how closely the plot of these comics is starting to resemble "Archibald's" fan comic on the Pixar Planet board.

*taps foot, then coughs* Ahem...now...did I not say...that there was the thought that Waternoose WOULD be in the comic somewhere, and that he might've been the one instead of RANDALL?
*shakes head* Nobody believe the White Dra.....Uh...ahem...nevermind heh heh ^_^

Ok ok...these covers are for the SECOND book unfortunately............
BUT...there is still the saving grace. The covers themselves may be universal, thus Waternoose could still be the villain of the first book. Now this second one...the plot deals with:
"When Monsters, Inc. starts losing productivity, a new energy crisis could be in the offing for Monsteropolis! Mike and Sully soon discover that someone is scaring kids targeted for laugh energy...and frightened kids don’t have much to laugh about! If Mike and Sully can’t stop this menace, Monsters, Inc will be out of business!"
Now this honestly doesn't sound like a BAD thing. But it does sound like something I think Ran might do. Depending on his effect in the first story (if he's in it), Randall might or might not have been employeed at M.I. Regardless, I think that an interesting theory would be that Randall hasn't really gotten over scareing, and that for him, like others, it runs in him and just comes naturally. Sure, it halts the now laugh-energy of M.I., but still you can't really blame him for it.

Sure, it halts the now laugh-energy of M.I., but still you can't really blame him for it. I don't think that Randall will be employed at the factory in the first comic, and I don't even think the others know he's back, otherwise he would be the first suspect from the start, as soon as machinery started getting damaged, and not Mike. Pretty much anything that goes wrong is gonna get blamed on Randall, and probably always has been, if he's around to blame. I'm pretty sure he will be in the first comic, otherwise the artist would have said something to the effect of him not being in it, rather than telling me that I would be "very disappointed" if I was expecting him to undergo a character arc in her comics. The thing now is, what will happen to him in the first comic? Will he be caught and punished(again), or even killed, or will he escape? Will the ending of the first be a cliff-hanger where we won't know what happens to Randall, or even if he is the one behind the sabotage, and have to purchase the second one to find out? The artist really did not lead me to believe that Randall would be anything other than evil in the comics, although there would be absolutely no logic in him teaming up with Waternoose again. As I emphasized in my comment on the Waternoose pic, there was no love lost between the two of them in the movie; Waternoose was using Randall, and Randall probably knew it. At that time, though, due to the power his boss had over him, he couldn't do anything about it. Now that Waternoose is no longer in charge of the company, he's in no position to order Randall around. I doubt that Randall will let him forget that, should they meet again. It WOULD make more sense to have Randall be the one who finally helps bring Waternoose to justice, but I doubt that the publishers will go with that, since that will contradict what the artist told me earlier. I just hope that they do not decide to kill Randall in the comics, so he will have a chance for redemption in the sequel. pitbulllady |

*shakes head* What I mean is at the END of the first comic. That, according to the artist that, yes, Randall IS the one messing with the machines, but in the end maybe he gets the task of repairing them, eventually leading to his "villan-esqueness" being overshadowed by Waternoose in the next one.
I have doubts of him being killed, thankfully. Not only would that hit Randall (duh) but would also warrant Sullivan and Wazowski being even more in the category of murders. And having him punished AGAIN would just show they, AGAIN, can get away with things. *folds arms* And with the C.D.A being in conspiracy for it....
*folds arms* I think the artist is on a by-by-by basis. In that she isn't completely told the plot till the comic is ready for illustration. As such, she wouldn't know everything about one book, or at the very least all the stories. Perhaps if luck is on our side, Randall will be shown as a trouble-maker, trying to pin various things on Sullivan and Wazowski (interesting note though...that he'd go after Wazowski while it was SULLIVAN who actually commited the act....and that it seems so far, from what we know, that Sullivan is affected only in the capacity of distrusting his friend). Of course, as seen in the second comic's art, it seems Wazowski is innocent of course, and his "career" is unaffected.
*looks up* No no....*shakes head* The writers may be blunt enough NOT to regard that the two would NOT team up again. As we know they wouldn't....but the writers....*shakes head*
