I just hope that Pixar resolves this. They CANNOT just leave Randall's story in the air, or let people assume he died horribly, at the actions of his former best friend at that! That is just so messed up. I like the notion of showing Randall as a sweet, polite, geeky kid in MU, and then just sorta taking him out of the main picture and leaving us with that, to set up the possibility of a sequel, a mini-movie, SOMETHING set post-MI. If they'd made the sequel and showed Randall's good side, too many people would not have "bought" the idea of him "turning good". Now that they've shown that he WAS good all along, it would make seeing him that way again more plausible. Funny how it's so much easier for most movie-goers to believe someone can just "become evil", but so hard to believe that the opposite can happen, as well, isn't it? You'd think that there would be a genuine reason for showing all the world sweet, innocent Randy, but I just hope it's not merely to play fan-service to us and say, "OK, here he is, just as you guys imagined him! Happy now?" pitbulllady From what I can gather, it seems to me that Mike and Randall weren't just roommates, they were actually friends, maybe even close friends. Even though Mike was overjoyed and showed no regret in the moment of Randall's banishment, I can see it slowly eating away at him to the point of full blown self hatred and guilt. Maybe if they did a sequel, it could kinda be a two sided story. Randall going through what ever events are taking place and then Mike trying to find Randall.

I seriously do....ok I think we're moving away from Remy's fic....but erm...
It seems Pixar has made things right in the set up (aside from one bad joke and one bad moment), that makes Randall not as antagonistic as he was in the first, at least in MU. I doubt he'd get his own movie. Sullivan and Wazowski have problems of their own that need to be resolved to. That "happy ending" is a farce. But....Randall would get way more time when he finally comes in, and he'll be a regular, not an on-again-off-again type. - Ahh that explains the wait....
Umm...well Wazowski's got something ELSE to content with in the future, concerning Celia. It can be pretty obvious what it is...but there's a secondary thing. I guess I can say this...he has NOT told her what happened with Randall. And if there's one thing a girl doesn't want from her man keeping, it's secrets. And I'll also say, Celia would DEFINITELY not agree with how things were handled. But it mixes in with bringing out whatever form of guilt he has, leading up to a "oh jeez, what have I done" moment for him.

OK guys warning... WATCH THE SPOILERS. I'm not gonna ask again, OK? I was kind enough to share this information, but we're starting to tread dangerously here, all right? While I can't do anything to stop you, you would certainly cost yourselves my confidence and I would not be so willing to share any such information in the future with you guys again, provided I'm ever in such a position.
Don't get me leaving the site over this, OK?
Besides, you guys can EASILY discuss spoilers in PMs. And yes, RB is right, this is getting off topic. This is a thread about my fanfic... I'm sure there's a thread somewhere for sequel ideas and if there's not, create one. Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but this is wandering into territory I don't want to go.

I mean its obvious that Pixar knows how important Randall is otherwise they would not have made him this way in MU. Also I modified my last comment and added another though. About how it could be about Randall but also Mike who is driven by guilt to find his old friend.

Sorry about that, I'll be more careful. In fact I will edit my last comment to fix it. And I'm sorry, lets continue this conversation in another thread.

I'm trying to be as careful as I am, only working with the material presented to me 0_0 I haven't said a thing outside of sequel speculation and from what you showed in the fic 0_0 Yeah figured. Think the focus was on choices and their effects and things drifted off. Common enough mistake to make, but yeah, for the originator, it's as annoying as not getting posts at all.

I'm not annoyed, I just want things to be discussed in the scope of what I DID reveal in the fic. It was mentioned earlier on about things I only revealed in PMs... and they need to STAY in PMs. Mike and Randall being friends is fine... but there's a bit extra to that that I DIDN'T write in this fic that was mentioned... so yeah... THAT'S what I'm referring to.

OK so as promised, I now have the third scene written up for my fic. I can send it via PM to whomever is interested. Warning: this DOES contain spoilers, and not just related to Randall, so if you don't want actual plot spoilers, bear this in mind. Also there is some very minor use of cursing, just as a heads up. Nothing R rated though, I've kept it PG rated.
