Isn't Mac that kid who imagined Bloo? I remember seeing an episode with the Fosters spending the night at Macs, although Bloo goes a bit overboard, getting sighted by his brother and everyone nearly getting caught by his mom. Yep, Mac is the unusually-bright(and fellow geek)eight-year-old who somehow imagined Bloo, who is like Mike Wazowski with a brain and an attitude! That episode you mentioned is "Infernal Slumber", one of the funniest episodes ever! The first time I watched it, my sides hurt for three days! That particular episode is the one, however, which gave me this strong feeling that there is a connection, somehow, between Wilt and Mac's mom. Supposedly, Mac's mom has no clue that he goes to visit Bloo at Foster's each day after school, or she would get angry and make him stop. She was the one who ordered him to "get rid" of Bloo, claiming that Mac was "too old" for an Imaginary Friend, and that Bloo was creating friction between Mac and his 13-year-old jerk of a brother, Terrence, and that Bloo was interfering with Mac being able to have human friends his own age(Mac is sort of an outcast anyway, due to being a lot smarter than most kids). She allegedly has no idea that Mac has an agreement with Madame Foster than Bloo can live there indefinately as long as Mac visits him every single day. Now, enter Wilt, who supposedly has never met Mac's mom, though he knows the situation, with the woman forcing Mac to "get rid" of Bloo. Wilt has some MAJOR abandonment issues; he can be, and usually WILL be, extremely nasty to anyone he suspects has abandoned, or as he puts it, "ditched"(more gang lingo), someone else. Yet, when he showed up at Mac's apartment, he acted as though he was the long-time man of the house, and started cleaning up the place because he felt sorry for Mac's mom having to work all the time and struggle to provide for her two sons, and not having time to really take care of the apartment. He also kept chiding Mac, and later, his brother Terrence, about how hard their mother worked and how they didn't show enough respect for her efforts and do their part to help keep the apartment in tip-top shape. It seemed VERY odd, knowing Wilt's usual reaction to someone who has abandoned someone/something else, to take up for this woman he supposedly has never met, whom he KNOWS forced her son to abandon HIS own Imaginary Friend. And it begs the question: how does WILT know how hard Mac's mom works, or what long hours she puts in? I doubt Mac spends much time discussing that topic when he's with his friends at Foster's, since I know *I* sure didn't spend much time talking about how hard MY parents worked when I was a kid, and I was very bright, too. I don't know if Mac's mom secretly DOES know that her son is still visiting Bloo at Foster's, and just isn't pressing the issue because she figures he'll get tired of seeing him eventually, or if maybe she and Wilt secretly know each other, which would explain not only why she doesn't say anything to Mac about Bloo, and why Wilt is so willing to take up for her, even knowing that made her son "ditch" his Imaginary Friend, or if that whole episode was a foreshadowing of something that is to occur between Wilt and Mac's mom. Wilt is better at keeping secrets than the CIA and Area 51 put together, that's for sure, so there's no telling at this point what he actually knows. I'd speculated once that maybe we will find out in Good Wilt Hunting that Mac's mom is Wilt's long-lost creator, but someone apparently took that as gospel and posted on Wikipedia.com that this episode would reveal who HER childhood Imaginary Friend is, even though so far we've seen no evidence that this would happen. Based on how Wilt was behaving in that now-deleted clip, though, I have to wonder if he can even recall his creator, or for that matter, if he ever HAD one. Unless Wilt did something horrible to his own creator, I can't see why he'd freak out at the mere mention of such a person. Even if his creator did something horrible to HIM, you'd think after all these years he would have at least gotten to the point of acceptance where he could say something like, "Sorry, but I really don't like to talk about that", instead of freaking out and running away and locking himself in his room. We've seen that Wilt may be good at keeping a secret, but he's lousy at making up a lie. He does that James P. Sullivan thing-"Uh, uhhhh...I uhmmm...I mean, I....well, you know....uhhhmmmm...", and if he ever has to tell one, he then goes into "Randall-Boggs-in-the-men's-room-when-Fungus-walked-in" routine at the least little thing, and THAT is basically how he's acting in that clip, as if to suggest that his whole stay at Foster's has been one big lie, and now he's afraid he'll be caught after all, since no creator has shown up yet-again, and he knows one never will. pitbulllady

Here's a question...Fosters Imaginary Friends...do they KNOW who their creators are? In terms of Wilt, would he know his creator when he sees him/her?

Umm....yeah. For the most part they do, and why wouldn't they? They were created to be FRIENDS of their creators so if you don't know your FRIENDS....I'd have to say you're one out of touch person, heheheheh. They only way they wouldn't know them would be if they were abandoned at an early stage, say right after they were created.

I'm not out of touch ^_^ That's what Ia...oops ^_^
Anyway. Then if he saw Mac's mother, he would've known she was his creator right? ^_^

I didn't say YOU were, I said if you can't even remember someone that you just imagined, then boy, you've got problems. Likewise if you were the friend that was imagined. You wouldn't forget the person who made you unless you were separated at a VERY early stage, before you had to chance to clearly remember the person. It'd be like briefly meeting a person once and saying hi, then never seeing that person again, you probably wouldn't think too much about it.
I don't think that's a likely scenario but yes, provided he was with her long enough he would.

Oh heh ^_^
Hmm...maybe Wilt's missing parts has to do with it. Maybe he was finished.

THAT will only be answered hopefully by the movie.

I'm not out of touch ^_^ That's what Ia...oops ^_^ Anyway. Then if he saw Mac's mother, he would've known she was his creator right? ^_^ It depends on how long it's been since the various Imaginary Friends have seen their creators. For some, this would be a long time, and if their creators were still young when they last saw each other, the Imaginary Friend in question might not indeed recognize him/her, since that person would now be an adult and of course, their appearance would have changed considerably. The human would be more likely to recognize the Imaginary Friend, whose appearance is less likely to have changed(barring a mishap), but whether or not the now-adult would acknowledge it is a different matter. For other Imaginary Friends, their creators do maintain contact, even though they no longer live together, and for some of the residents at Foster's, this means a visit at least every five years when the reunion picnic is held. We will get to meet the creators of many of the residents, including the bull-like "Eduardo", the timid-but-menacing-looking beast with the Latino accent, whose creator is now a female police officer. We will also meet the two geeky scientists(and I am NOT using "geek" as a derogatory term here, since I basically meet most of the requirements myself)who discovered "Coco" on a deserted island, where she'd been created by her now-presumably-deceased creator, a small girl who was stranded on the island long ago when her family's plane crashed there. We do know at this point that Wilt's creator(again, assuming he ever had one)has never shown up, nor made any attempt to contact him. According to information gathered from the online interactive game, "Foster's Big Fat Awesome House Party", NO one knows who Wilt's creator is, and he was brought to Foster's as a "stray", an Imaginary Friend with no known background. Just why Wilt refuses to even acknowledge a creator is beyond me, though. There is a train of thought that when he suffered whatever trauma robbed him of his eye and arm that the shock was so great(and he possibly had a head injury as well)that he lost his memory of his life prior to that, and therefore cannot recall his creator, but that would not explain why he freaks out so at the mere mention of one. A lot of fans have speculated that he was horribly abused by his creator or someone in the kid's family, thus resulting in Wilt's handicaps and his self-deprecating manner, but from the clip of the movie, it seems as though things might have the OTHER way around, with Wilt being the more violent one who is somehow responsible for something aweful happening to his creator. Most fans refuse to believe that Wilt would have ever been capable of doing anything bad to anyone, but he HAS shown glimpses, occasionally, of a "dark" side to his personality, and he certainly does not deal with stress well AT ALL, so for me, it's easier now more than ever to draw parallels between him and Randall. Still, in one clip from the movie, Wilt is talking to himself, saying, "Everything wants to belong to someone, right?" It almost seems there as though he is unable to feel even a remote connection to someone, unlike the other Imaginary Friends whom he's watching out the window as they are reunited with their adult creators. It's as though Wilt is unable to even relate to what is going on, and is depressed by the whole thing. That is yet-another aspect of him that reminds me of Randall-that sense that he has no family, and that he has this dark and unpleasant past, and like Randall, Wilt has made some very poor choices and done some things that were not so nice, and he, too, has paid a heavy price for them. pitbulllady

Yesterday, Cartoon Network and Turner Broadcasting(which owns Cartoon Network)BRIEFLY posted a screencap from Good Wilt Hunting, which showed that Wilt DID, at one time, have a human creator, and he DID, as I have long argued, once have TWO arms and TWO eyes. I won't give anymore details beyond that, since after the picture was announced by a member of the Never Forgotten forum there, Lauren Faust came on(she's the head writer for the show, and married to creator/director Craig McCracken, and both are members of that board-hint, hint, any lurking Pixar folks)and was quite upset about the picture. Apparently, she and Craig had NOT authorized it to be shown, but someone at CN had thought the picture was cute(which it was)and posted it. After she contacted them, they agreed to take it down.
We still do not know what happened to the kid who created Wilt, or how they got separated, or most importantly, how Wilt got so horribly injured, but at least that disproves my little theory that he might have been one of the "Banished". I do know that I can hardly WAIT for this movie to air!
OH, and by the way, there will be a Foster's float, featuring the Tall Red One himself, in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Phew...looks like our Thanksgiving CoMONdy will stand no chance with Wilts special ^_^ As much as I enjoy the CoMONdy's, I gotta say that this Thanksgiving is pretty much going to be National Wilt Appreciation Day, LOL! Not ONLY is his movie debut taking place, but that morning, he's also going to be featured in the first-ever Foster's Float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! You gotta admit, though, after all the pain and loss and sorrow that Wilt has experienced in his life(and Randall should be able to totally relate to THAT), the guy deserves it, he really does. Wilt is no "Perfect Life" James P. Sullivan; he's been where Randall was in Monsters, Inc.-he's made some really bad choices, apparently, and paid a heavy price. He knows what it feels like to be unwanted and unloved, and to be judged based on appearances. Maybe you can watch the movie, Sean, and create a crossover CoMONdy with Randall AND Wilt-one learning from the other, since for the first time, Randall will have a chance to speak to someone who's Been There, Done That-and who's also got the scars to show for it. pitbulllady

Yep, one hour, though I really wish it were longer, like...oh, twice that. I almost wish that they'd make an Adult Swim version, NOT to put in cussin' and stupid bathroom jokes, which are NOT very "adult" in my opinion, but to really dig deep into the details of Wilt's past. I'm sure that they really won't be able to do anything more than just sorta touch on it, to avoid upsetting the younger viewers(or their overprotective parental units). Most of the bad stuff will more likely be simply implied, enough that the older fans will figure it out, while the little kids will just think it's a funny movie and laugh at the jokes. Craig and Co. are able to pretty much emulate Pixar in that respect with this show, by letting the older and smarter fans in on things through subtle means, while not boring or upsetting the little kids who watch. Maybe after the release of the Season One Foster's DVD this coming February(along with a whole bunch of toys and collectibles-ABOUT TIME), they will release a "Director's Cut" special DVD of Good Wilt Hunting that goes into all that juicy detail us hard-core Wilt fans so eagerly want. pitbulllady
