I would do a crossover...but I'm a bit swamped with other ideas...plus I haven't seen an episode to save my life... Yeah, a person really couldn't do a crossover without watching this show, and several episodes at that. You wouldn't be able to get a "feel" for the characters or for what is going on unless you do. I know from just the first few episodes I watched, that Bloo was sarcastic and selfish, but I had no idea just HOW selfish until some of the more recent episodes. I knew that Wilt had had something awful happen to him, and that he was very polite and helpful and liked to say "sorry" a lot, even when he's not actually apologizing for anything, but I didn't get to see his "darker side" until I'd watched the show awhile, and found out just how mad he can get, and how he can go from "Mr. Nice Guy" to "Your Worst Nightmare" in like, 0.08 seconds, over certain things(kinda like Buddy-all big happy grins and jokes one moment, and in-your-face all-out rage the next), because that aspect of his personality is usually kept hidden, and it lets you know that he hasn't totally gotten over his past or come to terms with whatever happened, nor has he totally forgiven his creator and creator's family for abandoning him. He's trying to put things to rest, but sometimes, as Randall can attest, it is very hard to do so. pitbulllady |

Yeah, but there's the "Lilo and Stitch" movie, which EVERYONE has seen, so it's hard NOT to get a feel for those characters.

I always liked Lilo & Stitch the MOVIE, just not the TV series...I don't know why. Though Foster's, on the other hand...Imagine a Foster's movie! That would rock! ;D

Well I guess.
You know. I wish we had access to movie creation. It's so much easier getting your ideas visually....

That would rock! ;D If the show continues to be as popular as it is, there probably will be a Foster's movie, and yeah, that WOULD indeed rock! I wish they'd go more into detail on the backgrounds of the characters, though(other than Bloo, since we already know his background AND his creator), but Lauren Faust has already said that they would avoid doing that, at least in the series. I know most people are itching to find out what happened to Wilt, for example, but I'm sure if they got into that, the overrall humor and fun aspects of the series would suffer, since his past obviously was very unpleasant, at least in part. And Lauren Faust is right when she says it makes him more intriguing as a character to have that sense of mystery surrounding him, and that revealing too much would spoil things a bit. pitbulllady |

You wanna learn more about Walt don't you? It's "Wilt"(with an "i"), not "Walt", but yeah, EVERYONE wants to know more about him! He's one of the most interesting animated characters ever! He has had an arm amputated, and has a fake left eye(blind of course) and has scars on both sides of his face, so naturally everyone wants to know how he got them. He also seems to be trying to overcompensate a bit for SOMETHING by being extremely nice, polite and helpful...MOST of the time, but like I've said, sometimes even he gets pushed past the limits of how much you-know-what he can take, especially from Bloo. Certain things will set him off, point-blank, like making fun of his height(he's over seven feet tall)or simply failing to keep an obligation with him, which he takes as you "abandoning" or "ditching" him. Doing that ranks right up there with calling Randall "Lizard Boy" or telling Buddy Pine to "fly home" on the list of Things You Just Don't Do! Wilt always has seemed to be really able to handle stress and pressure, but in a recent episode, he showed that he's maybe not as good as Randall at dealing with prolonged pressure directed at HIM. He was set to MC a talent contest for Imaginary Friends, and apparently, the year before, when he'd done this, he'd seriously screwed up. Everyone was on his case now to practice, practice, practice his lines, and no one would let him do anything else. He was starting to get a bit of an attitude and complain(which is VERY unusual for Wilt)about knowing the lines already and about being excluded from everything, and when Bloo decided to hang around him while he was practicing, and Bloo's hiccups caused Wilt to say the word "hiccup" instead of what he was SUPPOSED to say, he pretty much "snapped" and drop-kicked that little blue pain-in-the-butt outa there just as hard as those size 48 sneakers would allow! When he actually had to get up on stage, it became apparent that Wilt's problem was NOT failure to learn his lines(they allowed him to carry a prompt sheet onstage), but inability to deal with stress and with crowds-he freaked out, to put it mildly, and had to be forcibly removed from the stage, poor guy! I felt sooo sorry for him, 'cause you KNOW he was really gonna catch Heck for days to follow after that, and the ride home on the Foster's bus with the others would have been an absolute nightmare! pitbulllady |

I think that the same sort of idea applies to Randall- if we had found out his background and everything that had happened in the movie itself, sure, we'd like him, but would we still be talking about him years on, as we are now?

Even though we've been talking about his background...ahem...
Anyway....
Well....perhaps still maybe Cool. We would still be wondering what future he has...and would feel even more sorry for him.
Believe me. After what he told me about his life...well...lets just say we still haven't told the full stories yet...

Yeah, but if you've found out most things about a character and there's not much mystery surrounding them, then I don't think people would care about them as much in the long term.

Even if that person was an orphan and that anybody who ever truely loved him is either missing or deceased?
I don't think you need to answer that.

We KNOW that some really awful things have happened to Wilt in the past, and to Randall as well, but I can understand Cool's point about not revealing too much of that past, since it would make them less intriguing as characters. I don't want people just feeling sorry for either of them, and in the case of "Foster's", I understand that this IS one of the reasons why the shows producers do not intend to reveal all about Wilt's past. They want people to ADMIRE him as someone who's overcome adversity, rather than just pity him as someone who's been through it. I would like to see others feel the same way about Randall, and dwelling constantly on whatever bad things he has been through won't do that. I'd rather see HIM learn to overcome his past and find that good within himself...although I hope he doesn't quite take the apologies thing quite as far as Wilt does sometimes, LOL!

You heard about Buddy's past and he was still more effective than if we hadn't learned what happened to him.
