Whoa whoa...TUTU!? 0_0 Aww heck! PEOPLE!!! I predicted that!!! ^0^ ^0^ Take a look at the Question Ghost CoMONdy way back ^0^...Ahh too long ago. I'll put it up on Pixar Planet when I can. I predicted that! ------------ Yaya parody of my work ^0^ I'm flattered ^0^ Actually I did do a deeper meaning to the pic, it's a reflection that despite his position, Sullivan STILL has some learning to do ^_^
Actually...I can ATTEST to that Pirates V.S. Ninja debate! I had found a rather great vid, not on anymore, that I showed Ran and my mom. It was of a Jack Sparrow inpersinator, VERY good one mind you, speaking out that pirates are better, and even ripping on Naruto ^0^ "I love money...I love Rum....I love...money with rum....interesting combination" "Naaaarrruuutto...he's eating something this picture....a weapon" ^0^

Well presonally,I think that Mike did care for Boo,but its just that the only reason he was trying to get rid of her so quickly,was just that,she was supposodly ruining his life,because at first it was at the resuraunt,and then it was when they got trapped in the artic place,so basically he just wanted to get rid of Boo,and resume with his life.But then at the end of the movie,he finnaly starts to have feelings for Boo.So In my opinion,he cares for Boo,deep down. ;D

Mike was TERRIFIED of Boo at first, and basically regarded her the same way that most monsters would: as a dangerous wild animal. His comments like, "great, just what I always wanted-a pet that CAN KILL ME!" and his suggestion of "releasing it back into the wild" are proof of that. Even worse, he realized that she was coming between him and his meal ticket, i.e., Sulley. The Randall-haters love to go on and on about how Randall was motivated by jealousy, yada yada yada, but fail to realize that Mike was the jealous sort, as well, and was jealous of a two-year-old child of all things. Mike only tried to show affection and concern for Boo when it became convenient for him to do so, in other words, when it would help him turn everyone against RANDALL. Once he realizes what Randall is really up to, Boo suddenly goes from being "It" and "that THING" to that "sweet, innocent little child" because now Mike knows that she can be a catalyst to stopping Randall, not just stopping him from successfully testing the Scream Extractor, but from beating Mike and Sulley to the All-Time Scream Record. Boo is nothing more than a tool for defeating his rival, once and for all. I'm not buying the BS, though. Mike proves himself to be a very accomplished liar early in the movie, so anything he says is rather comparable to the famous little boy with the issues regarding the large wild canine; Mike shoots down his own credibility by being such a habitual liar, thus I have trouble believing in his sincerity in any given situation. pitbulllady

I totally agree with what you said, I will admit that yes Mike didn't like her in the beginning and somehow can you blame him, after all his life was pretty good but then it came into his life, it had to interfere with everything and it could have ruined his life...while I will admit that Mike handled dealing with it much better than I would have....yeah, I would have gone a darker path in dealing with it then he would have but we're not going into those kind of details. Bottom line, thank you, you are officially bad a$$!

I'm thinking more or less, half on half when thinking about Mike. I don't and I do like him for different reasons, but mainly liking him due to the fact he is a cyclops. Especially after reading from one of the board members here (can't remember if it was you, Pittbulllady or RandallBoggs , but his one eye was originally two that fused into one! But INITIALLY, I don't think he cares for Boo. Of course, it would be the 'natural' fear that she is toxic and would kill him when the opportunity arrived. It took him longer to 'accept' Boo, mainly because like mentioned, she was intervening between him and Sulley... both in work and in their 'best friend' relationship (although as pointed before, Mike is more of the overruling monster seeking the attention, and that of course can be directly through Sulley's scaring ability). That scene in the cave, Mike only thought of what he had lost, whilst Sulley was the one that was concerned for Boo's safety. It was only near the end that Mike accepted Boo. That, like in reality, makes none of them completely innocent. In no way meant to offend any Mike fans, as like I mentioned he is pretty cool, but just stating my opinion on the relationship between Boo and Mike.

I think I agree Dinogirl it's just that... Mike doesn't seem very genuine when saying Boo is a 'sweet little girl'- that was an abrupt change- and one I think was onyl as the result of trying to sell the story to Waternoose at the time.
The hug seemed more genuine- and he COULD perhaps over time grow a bond. But as of yet we've not seen a lot of evidence for him genuinely caring for Boo for simply being Boo/existing.

Yes, that was Pitbulllady. Like Randall, I give credit where due ^_^
Unsure if I gave a complete opinion here, but here it goes... Intitially Wazowski is a boastful, lying, coward. And in the end....he's a boastful, lying, coward. But that's his personality. It's not like he TRIES to have good graces. But evidently Wazowski has two sides like everyone...though the above side is rather stronger. Ran's got two sides too and we see him trying to work with what he's got and trying to sorta "satisfy' it to get back to his real self. Wazowski, on the other hand...well intitially his change probably started way back in High School, probably cheating off tests thanks to Sullivan (who was still learning himself). Probably grew more so in training when Randall (And Sullivan) noted he wasn't cut out to be a scarer).
But for Boo...he DID want to get rid of her with NO regard to her personal safety. Out of frame, out of mind. Later, while I do agree with Pitbulllady on the matter of him using Boo to get back at Randall, I think he starts to care for Boo because SULLIVAN does. Sorta a "move-in" as well to "get interested in what the popular is in to" sorta. Kinda complicated I know...

Interesting points, guys. I think I understand what you're getting at RandallBoggs, Mike starts to care because Scully does...
I think Mike feels Boo is a sort of untrained, possibly rabid dog that followed his best friend home and won't go away. Boo does kinda ruin his life-- look at poor Celia's birthday dinner and the very real threat of CDA arresting them for having it-- It's not hard to see why Mike doesn't care for her much in the beginning.
Boo isn't a person and Boo isn't Mike's "puppy"-- she's Scully's. Scully is the one who gets attached with all the heartwarming scenes; he feeds her, puts her bed, talks to her and *names* her. Mike's the one trying to figure out how to clean up the mess; how to get rid of the problem. Granted, his schemes are... silly... but we know he isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box.
Boo becomes a tool against Randall-- anyone else think the whole Scare record competition is really between Ran and Mike, with Scully and Fungus trying to keep out of it?-- but he also starts to warm up a bit to Boo... Really, I see the end as Mike starting to feel some proximity love for Boo. Sorta like how your friend loves their new dog to pieces, while you don't really care at first 'cause it's not yours but then you and the dog get to be pals and you don't mind (the dog) so much...

Sorta like how your friend loves their new dog to pieces, while you don't really care at first 'cause it's not yours but then you and the dog get to be pals and you don't mind (the dog) so much... Oh, I've been saying for a long time now that the REAL competition, and the real animosity, was between Mike and Randall, NOT Sulley and Randall. Sulley was just sort of along for the ride. Sulley is one of those guys who usually doesn't let many things "ruffle his feathers", or, in this case, fur, and that includes competiton. I always got the impression that if he won, fine, if he didn't, STILL fine. But Mike couldn't deal with losing or falling behind any better than Randall could. Thing is, Mike also couldn't scare his own shadow, so he is totally dependent on Sulley for his own personal success. When Sulley wins, HE wins, and when Sulley loses, HE loses. In a way this is a good thing; Mike IS a very good coach because he pushes, pushes, pushes Sulley to be his best, but at the same time, he IS using Sulley for his own success. I do think that the nature of Mike and Sulley's relationship was what gave them a slight edge over Randall and Fungus, although it was not enough of an edge to keep them perpetually ahead on the Scare Board for as long as they were. Mike and Sulley had both a long-term friendship AND a coach/player relationship, while Randall and Fungun only has a co-worker relationship. They weren't nearly the team that Mike and Sulley were because outside of the work environment, that's all they had. Fungus was neither a coach who could push or encourage Randall, and he DID have an annoying habit of stopping to talk when there was work to be done, something that Randall(who HAD been a Scaring Trainer/coach)could not tolerate. They were just badly matched as a team, quite honestly. Now, as much as I hate to admit this, if Randall had been paired with MIKE, they would have been unbeatable...until Randall figured out that the main reason Mike was goading him to succede was so that MIKE could bask in all the glory! pitbulllady

As always Lady, you are (first?) and right. Mostly just throwing out my impressions, didn't mean to step on anyone's toes.
Mike working with Randall- now there's a match made in Hell! XD They conquer the Scare Record of course (wouldn't want to be Mike after Randall found the coattails angle, heh-heh). I wonder what kind of movie it would have been if Randall and Mike were Scarer/assisant, not Sulley and Mike...

Well unlike Sullivan, Randall wouldn't let Wazowski ride his fame heh.

So true. XD As unpleasent as Wazowski can be, I don't think he'd be up for an "evil plot". And after awhile, he'd get suspcious of Randall disappearing... I wonder if anything would fall the same way?

I wonder what kind of movie it would have been if Randall and Mike were Scarer/assisant, not Sulley and Mike... They were in the beta version though, I think. Mike and Randall actually were working together in several script versions, and Sulley was just a janitor who happened to be friends with them both, who was trying to break into Scaring, but was too afraid of kids himself. The three of them were able to work together to stop a "threat" in the form of a human child, at the same time finding out that human children weren't toxic and learning how to work together and get along, helping Sulley overcome his fear of kids. Personally, I like that version better than the one that found its way onscreen. There actually is a fanfic on FF.net, buried way back there somewhere, which had Sulley and Randall switching assistants at Waternoose's insistence, and it is a very funny story! Mike is a bit off-character in that he's not afraid of Randall and stands up to him, especially when he finds out that one of his duties involves making coffee(big surprise there, huh?), but other than that, the characters are dead-on, especially Randall. I'll see if I can find it and post a link. pitbulllady pitbulllady
