That last special of Foster’s is considered to be the finale to most fans, I guess because the last episode was just...unremarkable.



In the next episode of Dragon Ball!

All I really remember about the last episode of Foster’s is Cheese had to move into the Home at the very end and Bloo freaked out.

Sort off, the ending was essentially Frankie finding this trunk that contains this VERY powerful friend that could create entire worlds, turns out he was locked away because the kid's parents thought he was too dangerous due to his powers. So, Frankie befriends him and kinda wants to stay in this world, until the others come to save her, the friend loses his shit and try's to destroy them until he finally cools off aaand...that's it.

Jesus Christ what the actual fuck?

I was always a fan of the theory that the old lady or Frankie was a figment of the others' imagination. Look at how they wear the same green jacket and grey skirt after all as well as the vaguely similar hairstyle.

Ye, I don't recall if this ending was lambasted, but it was weird that after you had this cool 2-3 parter episode involving Wilt and his backstory. Then you get this which try's to be as this finale and big adventure, but the whole theme was Frankie just feeling unappreciated for all the work she does around the mansion.
 
Congratulations! You're the new SpongeBob, Rugrats and Sex in the City: you should have stopped at the first show! Now you're just a shameful money grab from a greedy pile of execs or one-trick pony.

They actually went full St. Elsewhere with Fosters? Because that's what the comic is - the legit ending to St. Elsewhere.

Is St. Elsewhere the best TV series ending ever? I mean come on now, it's hilariously genius.

Every TV series should end that way, with the reveal that everything was just the imagining of some autistic kid staring into a snow globe, either that or a character wakes up to find a previously dead character in the shower.

A lot of cartoons I watched as a kid had that problem of the final episode being unremarkable and everything just kind of... stopping, unless you count later, inferior revivals, Doug and Rugrats ended that way.

I remember how blown my mind was when the final episode of the Mighty Max cartoon had an actual ending, it was like "wait, cartoons can have actual endings?"

For all our sakes let's hope they don't try the same with Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. I imagine it might go like this:

Theory nonsense aside, Craig actually did explain why Frankie is living with her grandmother and why she works at Fosters.

Her father (Madame Foster's Son) grew up disillusioned and sour on imaginary friends, since he would be around Mr. Herriman most of his life so he never let Frankie have a single imaginary friend of her own.

She did eventually make one, but was forced to give the friend away and one of the main reasons why she works there is to hope meet with the imaginary friend she had made.

The "Fuck you, Dad!" vibes the reboot is giving off is even more hilarious now.

Oh, it's amazing because it's almost a given with this premise of 'disillusioned PPG' that they'll be playing up the exploitive dad angle. I get that the PPG weren't technically his biological kids (since they really are as much his children as Mojo Jojo as pointed out in one episode of the show no less), but the PPG themselves initially were going to be the 'perfect little girls' until MJJJ decided to be a little shit and cause trouble, leading to the ironic creation of the kindergarteners who regularly kicked his ass on a near-daily basis.

Only now Prof. Plutonium is black.

This is what I love about 'woke' media - the narratives they try to push are so incoherently mismatched with each other that they end up causing the same problems they supposedly are trying to address. There's no way the irony of an exploitive black father with effectively adopted white children is going to escape the internet.
 
So is this just going to be Charlie's Angels with the 3 girls being played by mid to late twenties actresses?
