Response to the last post. In “World Wide Wabbit,”, if Madame Foster doing this was uploaded to the internet instead of the “Funny Bunny” video, would it have also gone viral on the internet & made bank?

https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/2056407732471689434 May he rest in peace, and may our condolences be with his family and friends at this time.

In Bye Bye Nerdy, during the scene where Coco asks if she can get Jamez Withazee's autograph and gets sad when Bloo says no, you can briefly see Wilt's expression change from annoyed to sympathetic. It's a funny little detail I noticed and I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this detail.

I don’t care how many downvotes this gets, this episode is so over hated that it basically overshadows the rest of the series, which is too bad because fosters is in my opinion one of the best CN shows. While I get that it’s definitely frustrating to see characters we’ve grown to care about get unfairly blamed for stuff they didn’t do while no one believes them while an obvious jerk laughs at their misfortune, as well as the little bastard getting away Scott free (among other things) I’ll list 10 reasons why this episode isn’t as bad as others say:

1.we’re definitely not supposed to like Bendy, so the writers technically achieved their goal.

2.its only 11 minutes, while most episodes go to 20, so it’s mercifully short.

3.the whole trickster frames innocent characters is a cartoon trope that’s been around for years, and done to a much more frustrating level (heck if you can’t stand this episode, stay away from kid vs kat).

4.at least the main characters remain likeable (unlike the surprise party episode which almost ruined Bloo and the whole show for me, almost…)

5.when compared to other infamous episodes likes boys of bummer (in which a whole town bullies a child to attempt suicide) or a pal for Gary (which a owner is extremely neglectful to the point his pet almost dies and he’s mad at him) an episode about a jerk framing others for stuff he did is a walk in the park.

6:while I do like Bloo, he can be kinda a selfish person, so at least it’s not happening to a totally innocent person (not that he deserves it).

7:the episode could easily be saved if Bloo just kept his mouth shut at the end, while this is barely a positive, it at least means that it is possible to fix this episode (unlike something like say, ren seeks help or any adult party cartoon episode where the only way to make those episodes good is to start over from scratch).

8:at least we get to see bendy suffer a bit, seeing him get sprayed with ink and panicking, trying to get a picture off his hand that’s glued on, then almost drowning was cathartic to watch.

9: the concept of an imaginary friend made from a kid who causes mischief then blames it on the IF, who then comes to life is an interesting one.

10:Bendy (like all the imaginary friends in the series) does have a good character design: he looks like a dr Seuss character, but his smile and eyebrows make it clear that he’s going to be a bad guy.

Overall while it’s not my favourite episode by far, I do find it unfortunate that whenever this show is brought up this one episode that doesn’t come close to being the worst episode of a cartoon is usually one of the first things people mention, especially since the rest if the show (most of it) is truly amazing and creative, fosters home deserves to be remembered for its best episodes!
