I GOT INSULTED ON YOUTUBE!!!! I made a comment in Randall's defense, and BOY... those Randall-haters started swarming in the forums like locusts, calling me a huge troll. That everything I was saying was a lie, that I'm making DISNEY out to be a liar, over a film THEY made. One poster even had the AUDACITY to impersonate Boo, saying 'NOOO! THAT RANDALL TRIED TO KILL ME!', and I replied 'You're not Boo... don't make me laugh.', then that poster called me an asshole! I was rejected, and even TALKED DOWN to, like I was some disobedient child or something. They went through how 'Randall tried to kill both Sulley and Boo', and 'what I say is not true'. Just like Randall, I was humiliated! So, I ended it by saying 'If my observations and beliefs make you that miserable, than this is the parting of the ways.'. I also mentioned 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' for good measure. Need some support, Pitbulllady! You can't fix stupid, unfortunately. Defending Randall on the internet is definitely gonna bring out the haters in mass. Heck, we even had one HERE not long ago, who believes that Randall is evil incarnate, always was and always will be. The bad thing about these people, for the most part, is that they believe that THEY are perfect, and incapable of doing anything wrong, of making mistakes, or falling under the influence of someone like Waternoose. They believe that they are too good and too smart for that, and wallow in their own self-righteousness while pointing fingers at everyone else. They still live in a child's mind-set, where everything is either Good or Evil, no in between, no moving back and forth, no "gray areas". That is how very young children think, and it's disturbing when alleged adults do not progress beyond that. pitbulllady

Additional comment: I'm not implying that a group of humans invading would have to be a cult... BUT, this does make me think of how mesmerizing Howie Mandel was as Ralph Roberts, in the 'Monk' episode, "Mr. Monk Joins a Cult" (Episode 11, Season 6). It's hard for me to place my finger on it... but Howie Mandel might make a good voice-over candidate for one of the human villains. That coolness and overconfidence in Ralph's demeanor, like when he rubs the charcoal on Adrian's left palm and says "Dirt on your hand, brother.", or when he says in an almost hypnotic voice "You're with me, now... drop the wipe.", that kind of charismatic voice, that overconfidence might make for an interesting villain as well. Imagine this guy's reaction to learning that monsters collect laughs (or screams) from children to power their world! You just WOULDN'T guess in a million years that a monster as humiliated as Randall, all covered in hearts... the invisible monster... the beaten and banished one of the monsters... could actually defeat this guy. But alas, Randall turns out to be his undoing... that ONE thing he never saw coming. Literally. I remember that episode and honestly being surprised that Mandel could nail a creepy and dangerous character so well, given that he's mostly known for comedies. pitbulllady

That would be "Other Fiction and Art", for non MI/MU-related fiction(including other Pixar fanfiction) or art.

There is an "Incredibles" section under "movies" on FF.net. If it's mostly about the characters from that movie, then that's where it would belong. If Randall plays a fairly large role, then I'd put it under "Crossovers". Movies are listed alphabetically.

Completing...well, I think they need to do it, the movie left some cliffhangers that I'd like to see ended .3. Sounds like a nice episode! Maybe you're right between that comparison of Harold and Randall, maybe he needs to wind up, finally reveal what he thinks, just like Mike did in MU, but I can imagine his reaction of being locked with Sullivan!!! That would make an awesome Pixar short. As for Sullivan, is something we all asume, he always had the "ability" and, meh...I think he can make it simply, while Ran is trying to break his ass to beat that record. Randall really wasn't even trying to break the All-Time Scream record; THAT was a "red herring" thrown out by Pixar, and still a lot of people believe that to have been Randall's motive all along, even though HE himself says "you STILL think this is about that stupid SCARE RECORD" to Mike. It wasn't about the Scare Record. It was about proving himself to the world as a success in a field where Sulley, a known cheater, could not compete. If he couldn't beat a cheater at one game, Randall just invented a NEW game, one which Sulley would have no chance, cheating or not. All this time Randall has known Sulley only as a cheater, and a privileged kid from a famous family who got everything he wanted just because of his family name, including getting away with cheating, being a bully(to Mike), and STILL was loved by everyone. Randall, unlike Mike, does not get to know the real Sulley, and naturally assumes that Sulley is still cheating and schmoozing his way to the top at MI, and no one else can apparently see this but Randall. Now, I don't care how perfect someone thinks that they are, if they were in that same situation, working next to someone like James P. Sullivan every day, knowing that this co-worker's "success" and fame were not honestly earned, it would have a really negative effect on their entire life. You can only "bottle up" that sort of frustration and anger for so long, before something has to give. pitbulllady

Lots of Randall's fans want to see him redeemed, RanB. There are actually many of us who do believe in second chances, in redemption, in people's lives turning around for the better. I know for a fact that often the people who have battled the worst demons within themselves can do the best of deeds, even if there are those who do not believe that, and believe that people are always either "good" or "evil", no changing. Pixar has yet to have one of their "bad guys" redeemed, and it's about time that they tackled that subject in one of their movies, so why NOT Randall?

This is not only a good idea for a villain in MI, it can work in so many movies as well ;w; Okay, I can imagine some kind of intellectual, cold, conceited douche. That kind of guys who have that air of superiority in their faces, completely taunting and humiliating the other monsters and Mike and Sullivan trying to go against him, but it doesn't work. Another thing, I imagine a certain group of humans, who are the main leaders of these invation in Monstropolis, and the dominant one (and probably the most evil of all of them) something like the league of the seven evil exes (Scott Pilgrim) the last one,Gideon, is the smart one, and of course the most threatening, aaaand the leader of the league. I can imagine this guy as the catalyst, but using Boo so Randall, Sullivan and Mike go all to reunite together. We need to see Boo and the guy as a catalyst, I imagine him with an abusive, narcissistic personality, just like Waternoose, making him don't even care for his own species (humans) because he is too corrupted by the ambition of invading Monstropolis. Sounds like a great plot to me! pitbulllady

As far as I'm concerned, Marsh, anyone who actually believes that vigilantism is great, that it's fine to lynch people because they did something wrong, who does not believe that people should have due process, THAT is a bad person! Your attitude towards Randall actually does reflect how you view real people, real situations, whether or not you realize it. Sadly, your attitude is very typical of young people, who have yet to really experience the harsh realities of life and carry around this "get even with 'em" mentality; if someone does you wrong, hit them back, harder, punish them yourself, however you see fit, screw any justice system. For someone like that to call anyone else "bad" is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Let us not forget that Mike and Sulley BOTH joked around and laughed as they were intentionally sending Randall to his possible death, but they're "good guys", right? And just because Mike and Sulley both have demonstrated a tendency to steal whatever they want(Mike steals door key cards in both movies, and he and Sulley stole, and boasted about stealing, an entire DOOR STATION in "Party Central"), breaking and entering(not to mention vandalism on that same property), they're still great, wonderful, perfect guys, right? But I guess, Marsh, if lynching people and murdering people in revenge is fine with you, what's a bit of theft and vandalism and breaking and entering?

Let me ask, Marsh-how old are you? How much real-life experience in the work-place, how much experience have you actually HAD, first-hand, with superiors like Waternoose? And without resorting to your pal Wikipedia, how much do you understand of the Milgram Experiment? Next question, do you support the concept of lynching and vigilantism, do you believe that all people should have the right to punish anyone they consider to have done wrong, in any way that they see fit? pitbulllady My age is irrelevant. What does it matter? My argument was "Even if he's only doing it because he's being ordered, he's clearly getting a high amount of sick enjoyment out of the bad things he's doing". Wikipedia was one of three sites I looked up, it being for the purpose of being a brief overview, the other two being specifically because I knew I couldn't trust Wikipedia. So no, I did not "resort" to my "pal Wikipedia". Enough to understand it doesn't work for a defense in the situation, for reasons I already explained and reiterated above. I think when someone tries to kill another person three to four times and the alternate option is to be a complete moron and let him go free so he can try and kill them again they're justified to get him out of the picture. NO, your age is NOT "irrelevant", actually. Your age and experience say a lot about you, what you know, first-hand, and what you have yet to experience. I used to think, or rather, FEEL, exactly as you do know when I was a stupid, naive kid. My views of how things work, of human nature, of workplace dynamics and my own fallibilities were just like yours. I was incapable of doing something horribly wrong(or so my ignorant self believed), was immune to the influences of people like Waternoose because I was such a perfect individual, with my little halo and all, and I deeply believed that people who did bad things should be punished by anyone who got their hands on them. I supported vigilante "justice" wholehearted, just like YOU do now. If someone did wrong, get 'em back. If that meant that anyone should be allowed to kill someone that they don't like, fine. Kill 'em. Just like you're advocating for now. Get them "out of the picture", just like you said. Now, I'm more than half a century in age. I've experienced things that taught me more about human nature and MY own nature than I ever thought I'd learn, and it totally changed that perspective. Justice is one thing. What Mike and Sulley was an act of revenge, plain and simple. It would be considered MURDER in our own legal system. You do understand that revenge IS the most common motive in murder, right? But you're OK with that, you're fine with lynching people, which is exactly what Mike and Sulley did to Randall. That says far more about your character than it does about Randall's, that you are completely in favor of a lawless society in which anyone can do whatever they please to get even with someone else. It is NOT self-defense, so do not even try that argument with me! I have a valid CWP in two different states, have taken extensive courses on self-defense and on the legalities of using lethal force to defend oneself or ones property of the life of another person, and I know for a FACT that the actions of Mike and Sulley were NOT "self-defense". But you say you're OK with lynching people, which is exactly what they did. pitbulllady

I have to ask, after reading your repeated attacks on Randall and those who do not believe him to be Satan Incarnate, along with that last statement: WHY ARE YOU HERE??? You clearly despise Randall and don't think much of his fans, either, you hated MU, and I have not seen anything to indicate you cared that much about MI, either. Randall "keeps getting kicked down because he keeps doing this to other people"? Obviously your hatred of MU blinded you to pretty much everything that went on that movie. Can you give ONE example, aside from the ROR prank that Randall did NOT orchestrate and had no real choice but to participate in, where that happened? Even in MI, he does not try to harm anyone or stop anyone until he's ordered to do so, and I'm sure you're one of those perfect little angels who would be able to stand up to someone like Waternoose because you aren't even capable of doing anything wrong yourself, just like the Milgram Experiment all over again. If the only reason you join discussion boards is to slam the character or franchise around which they center, that's pretty sad. Being "bored", which I believe was your reason for joining, is hardly an excuse for that.
DONE.

Oh, dear.... NOW you've got me heartbroken, Pitbullady. Mike and Sulley are in their 40s something and Randall is 25, almost 15 to 20 years younger? SHAME... ON... THEM.
It always devastates me when some injustice befalls a young person, especially at the hands of an older person, and you're right: Randall DOES act much younger, and he basically is still a kid himself. He's got his whole life ahead of him, and look where he currently is at the age of 25! Getting beaten up by humans! Mike and Sulley should have known better than they did if they were in their 40s, and that just makes their banishment of Randall all the worse (as if it wasn't heart-wrenching enough).
Basically, in my eyes, Mike and Sulley stopped being good guys once they endangered Randall's life. SHAME... ON... THEM.
Hmm... I think I know how those two monsters would answer for or 'confess' before the company their heinous crime against Randall.... like KARL TORINI (from "Mr. Monk and the Magician"). LOL!
MIKE: "Well... if you're just going to catch us anyway.... we might as well confess! In FACT... I'll even put it in writing:
(Gets out a pen and trick paper and gloats haughtily.)
MIKE: (writing) "We hereby confess.... to the ff... <smart-ass> BANISHMENT... of Randall..... (OTHER CHARACTER: 'BOGGS'.) ...Boggs, thank you! Signed: Mike Wazowski.... and James..... P. ....... (sets pen down smugly) .....Sullivan."
(Folds up the paper, and hands it to those who care about Randall with a sneer on his face.)
MIKE: "There you are! Congratulations..."
BOOM!!! (The paper ignites in flames!)
MIKE: (jeeringly) "Abracadabra, Randall Boggs fans."
LOL!
Well, no, actually thanks to MU we now know that Randall, Mike and Sulley are all the same age, and all were in the 27-28 year range in age during MI. pitbulllady

My knowledge of the culture of Louisiana and the South in General comes from first-hand EXPERIENCE. I live, and have always lived, in the South, and I have visited Louisiana many times, and have many friends there. I have witnessed how people react to alligators and I've eaten the results. Have YOU ever been to Louisiana, personally? If you answer "no", then you have no grounds at all upon which to argue. You can literally travel from any point in the state to any other point in the state without ever leaving a boat; there is THAT much swampland and THAT many waterways. As far as Randall being taken down by a dog or dogs, it is really obvious that you have no experience with Catahoula Leopard Dogs, the state dog of Louisiana. I used to breed these. They are used to hunt wild boars, some of the most-aggressive, dangerous animals on the planet. If these dogs can take down a 300-pound wild boar, Randall would be a Scooby Snack to them. A friend of mine who still breeds Catahoulas got fined 10,00.00 by our DNR when four of his dogs, three of which were still puppies, caught and disemboweled a 10-foot alligator on his property and his buddy told everybody in the local bar about it. Randall would not stand a chance against that.

Here is the "thing": logically, statistically, there SHOULD have been several different monsters occupying the "Top Scarer" spot, back and forth, over the same time period during which only one-Sulley-held that position, which was for 11 months straight. Given how many Scarers were employed there at MI, the probability of any Scarer doing that staggeringly stacked AGAINST that happening! NO one is just THAT good, at anything, seriously. Everyone is going to have "off" days, or even an "off" week or so at work now and then, so I simply am not accepting that the Mike and Sulley team was just so much better than all the other 4,680 Scare teams that came to work there every single day, that they'd be not just SCARERS of the Month, but EMPLOYEE of the Month, for 11 months straight! The only way that this is going to happen is for someone to tweak the numbers and pull some unseen strings to MAKE it happen, and if you take that "someone" out of the equation, then yes, most of the time, Randall WAS the Top Scarer, and there probably would have been someone else in that spot as well, from time to time. Eventually, it would make sense that Sulley is going to find this out, that not all of his "wins" were legit, only it wasn't anything that HE was doing this time.
