Mr. Fogle I presume. 
I
see my reputation follows me.
Actually, isnāt it precedes you? LOL! 
Ha. Do
right. Though I didnāt want to mess up the word personally on my part heh.
Agree
with you there Nexas rather use a word I know instead of trying to quote.
Anybody else take a
look at the stories?
YES! I love
anything thatāll come out of Lil Banditās head. As a wonderful writer of fanfiction, she has never
disappointed. I worship this person. 
As a quick side note: Iām new, and I feel awkward as I found no
Intro thread anywhere. Donāt want to sound like a nerd, but Iām thrilled to have actually found this
place!
Well welcome to Pixar Planet DoubleLatte. We are so glad that you found Pixar
Planet.
Yeah, welcome- youāll love it around here. 
How do yall feel bout the concept of new characters.
Seeing that Boo would be a lot older by now, who would replace the ācute factorā? What if they choose a
boy instead?
I quite like the ideaā¦Thereās a possibility of something along the lines of āBooās little brotherā,
because just plucking any random boy would make the sequel perhaps a little too detached from the original. They
could possibly even go down the route of having the sweet factor fulfilled by a monster child.
Maybe they can forget about her door , then find it when sheās like , 13 , and she forgets
who they are and sheās all " who the heck are these guys ? " and they bring her back and everyone gets
all hyped up again for some crazy reason .
Well, it is very likely that by the time Boo becomes a
teenager, if she had not seen Mike and Sulley since the incident, then she would have forgotten, or put the whole
fiasco down as a crazy dream.
Yea,
sibilings would fit well. Neva thought of the monster kid idea. Thatās a good one too.
Speaking of Boo growing older, what do you think the
chances are of her running into Randall in our world, assuming he hasnāt found a way back to Monstropolis and
also adding that he didnāt die from the shovel beating. :3 That should be interesting.
Quite unlikely- it seems that Randall was thrown into a
bayou, and as far as weāre aware, Booās house is not in that kind of region. It is a possibility, though; it
just depends on both of their locations.
But we donāt KNOW where Boo lived, only that it was in the US.
Sheās too young to even have a noticeable accent yet that might give away any clues to her locale. She could
just as easily live in Louisiana as anywhere else in the country. Not everyone in the Bayou country lives in
little shacks or trailers; some very affluent people call Louisiana home. Itās also possible that even though
she might have lived elsewhere in the country at the time of the movie, her family could move to
Louisiana(thereās a big demand for construction work down there, post-Katrina, with big bucks), OR Randall could
manage to find his way out of the state, so thereās still that possibility that their paths could cross. It
would be very interesting indeed to see them meet again, now that sheās older and has a greater grasp on the
reasons people do what they do, and Randall is also older and hopefully done some āgrowing upā of his
own.

Randall and Boo meeting up years later would certainly be a very good concept for a sequel.
Although, however much it may make pblās blood boil, Iām afraid I have to say that if that ever happens, itās
99% certain that Randall will be the villain in that storyline. I agree with pbl on several points concerning
Randall, such as that he was manipulated, at least to some degree, by Waternoose, but when allās said and done I
donāt see Randall undergoing a transformation into a saint, or for that matter even into a slightly decent
monster, after his banishment. His, well, āmeanness,ā even if it may have become a part of him through
a series of events beyond his control, is too deeply ingrained into his personality to go away very easily at
all. Especially with what happened to him in the whole Waternoose fiasco and how he was thrown into the human
world, heās not going to have done any āgrowing up,ā heās going to be wanting revenge on Sulley and
Mike, and an encounter with Boo would be the perfect opportunity for him to get that revenge. If there is a
Monsters 2 with this Randall-meets-Boo storyline, Randall is most assuredly going to be playing the role of
villain. Itās possible that there could be some possibility of his redemption at the end of the story (if for
no reason other than to appease all the Randall fans ), but until the conclusion, not a chance.
Au contraire,
DElf! I believe that if the two were to be reunited years later, both Randall and Boo would have changed
dramatically. Of course, Boo would be older, and she possibly would have lost her sweetness. And Randallās
banishment would make him grow up- heās been so preoccupied with status and respect
that being put in a situation in which he has to focus solely on survival would probably mean that he would
mellow out, or risk dying. After a substancial (and I mean substancial! ) period of time, survival would
mean more to Randall than revenge on Mike and Sulley. Then again, even that is questionable- the only reason that
Randall would really manage to find to continue living is pure stubborness. I guess he could live just to fulfil
his dreams of revenge, but he would have a lot of thinking time, and would, at some point, probably end up
blaming himself for the entire fiasco, moving the blame off Mike and Sulley.
This is all theoretical, of
course- we donāt actually know what would happen unless it was actually encountered in a MI2.
Thank you, Lizardgirl, some VERY good points there. I do
not believe, with VERY, very few exceptions, that anyone is born āmeanā. People are āmeanā
for a reason, whether we like it or not. Very often, behavior that is interpretted as āmeanā is the
direct result of something being experienced by the person, a fact I know all too well, since Iāve been accused
of being a āmeanā and āhatefulā person more than once. You can only bottle up anger and
resentment for so long, before the pressure cooker overheats. Most of the time, when the personās situation
changes, their behavior changes with it. I believe strongly, from the perspective of someone whoās been in
Randallās proverbial shoes, that his āmeannessā was the direct result of pressures stemming from his
situation, being used and manipulated by his boss, being put down by his boss, seeing someone who represented
everything that he himself did not have constantly come out ahead of him, KNOWING that at least some of taht
other personās success was probably due to his relationship with the boss, not having anywhere near enough
sleep(that alone will literally drive a person temporarily insane, and eventually kill them if not rectified),
not having any time off, losing whatever social contacts heād had, having to put up with Fungusā mouth day
after day-no one can tell me that these things will not drive a person, even someone who normally acts really
nice, right over the edge, because I have experienced it myself.
The trauma experienced by Randall upon
his arrival in the our world, coupled with his need to survive and possibly depend on humans for that survival,
could be that proverbial āblinding light on the road to Damascusā that some people do need to snap them
out of their bitter little universe. It certainly wonāt be the first time that scenario has worked wonders. I
just know that people DO change for the better, just as seemingly āniceā people can become selfish,
self-absorbed, nasty and āmeanā as their situations go from good to bad to worse, so it is really quite
foolish to assume that Randall is and always has been āmeanā by default, and therefore is incapable of
changing. He might not indeed ever become a āsaintā, but who IS? He will always have that Irish edge,
just as I do, but that does not make him a devil, either. As he learns more about humans, and IF he is able to
experience anything positive with our species, his opinions of humans, at least, will change, which means his
reaction to meeting Boo again(assuming he remembers her)will be different. Thatās one of the reasons why
āLilā Banditāsā fanfiction story was so well-received on FF.net; it showed a GRADUAL change in
Randallās attitude towards humans, and eventually his whole plan of revenge against Mike and Sulley, as a result
of his experiences with a human child, so that it was more believable than having him suddenly become this
perfect Goody-Four-Shoes, and therefore was more ārealisticā and plausible, without taking him
out-of-character.

I will acknowledge too facts, Ran and Booās
future.
First, Boo.
A year passed when the first film ended.
Now. Think of the implications people.
Sullivan visiting Boo once again. Even after a year of NEVER seeing him, he comes back. Now. Sullivan WILL
continue to come back to see her.
Think of the effect this would have on her. She would have to keep her
relationship with Sullivan a secret.
If she were to tell, her parents would probably worry about her
āhaving an imaginary friendā at an advanced age, which is particularly no problem at all.
But Boo
would have the knowledge that there IS a Monster World. And she had been there for over a day, seeing many
places. Unsure of Booās memory, but it is probably good, as she recalls her āKittyā years
later.
Simply, Boo can be considered a unique child who went into the Monster World.
Let that soak in
as I make my assumptions on my dear friend Ranā¦
