Why was there never any co-employee jealousy?

Good to state your view. Grateful.

No prob. Good when you use examples to justify statement.

One thing you need to take care in heh.

Good point. However, I offer a second comment. How is it that JUST when Randall pulls back ahead, and JUST when Waternoose so humbly comes to the floor, that Wazowski SUDDENLY pulls off with a high-point Slumber party? In congruent to the previous statements of jealousy from the other employees, it is just too ironic and too right of time to be done without involvement.

He did, just not openly. He thought Sullivan was cheating ahead, and decided to show he was the best and could BEAT a cheater. You see himself was at first hurt then angered when Wazowski accused HIM of being a cheater.

Pitbulllady will clear this up, but disabling the scarer position will mean that no one will break the scare record. Which means Randall either wants to break it himself, or have Fangs McDonald keep the position.

Paying close attention is what we do. Look at the above about the slumber party for this.

True. Not how I said “road” not “JUST road”. Wazowski and Sullivan have been friends for years, yes, though Wazowski takes pleasure in being the “Top Scarer’s friend” and the perks it comes with. Sullivan himself may take some pride in seeing his name on the wall, but not so much to the possible perks he has. And being the “nice-guy”, he’d offer the perks, such as a reservation to a famous resturant, to such friends.

Oh. Apologizes.

Although Randall had info to put him out of the “toxic believers”, I’ll have to go with Pitbulllady’s statement about how “humans are, in sense, dangerous but productive neccesities” or around that, sorry if I used it in the wrong sense Pitbulllady.

Wrong heh. For this you must look at what you DO NOT see. Scartching out Celia since she is a medusa with cyclops hybrid, hair doesn’t count, there are no other reptiles seen in Monsters Inc. You see furries, tentacles, and…mouths with legs, but no other reptiles. If there were, at least others would be shown.

That’s in par with minority. Randall was promised a high position, probably well paid, would be recognized as a hero who HELPED Monkind. With such “promises” with little to no thought of disturbance, I can’t see why someone wouldn’t do it.

Who wouldn’t? Randall and Fungus both worked hard on the machine. And Randall sacrificed his sleep and mental balance to making it. It was a “fruit of labor”. Attacking Sullivan was merely an expression of anyone’s hate. Sullivan was ruining everything Randall had sacrificed for. Randall HAD given them both a way out, but they didn’t take it.

Yes I have and it is quite a pleasure to show the path.

Maybe not so. But the threat of “he was going to discredit and probably KILL me” might be something more heh.
HIS life? Well about the time he was going to be killed near the end there pretty much puts that out heh.

In terms to strangling, I think Pitbulllady went on with something that when a “snake” does that it’s intentions is to choke to death. Though I figure that since Randall is a hybrid he may have control over it. Maybe so, but as said, that was when his instinct took over, and it didn’t have to if the two got involved.

The thing is you need to pay attention heh. I myself have been studying for over fives years…I remember the event nearly by heart.

Tahaha…such a limitation isn’t it? I don’t so much believe in limitation heh heh. Besides. You are starting to discover truths that you have not seen…

Not sure about that question…but aren’t those two just friends guys?

LIZARDGIRL
Good point.

To add to that normal thing. Such as in Lizard Girl’s signature…Randall was TAKING Boo BACK to her door. Why back to the floor? C.D.A were there(OOOh WATERNOOSE brought them…what if Ran HAD come back…). Why back to the machine? It was broken.

As said with the above, Waternoose states “You’ll find the ones responsible”. He didn’t go in detail by saying it was Wazowski and Sullivan…which leaves open a spot for Randall.

Well Randall could get the task to testify against Waternoose, the guy’s got lawyers and money galore afterall, and maybe a lessened sentence. However, Sullivan and Wazowski themselves DO deserve their own “dicipline” (No. Being a hero doesn’t excuse you).

Just wanted to comment, I believe some of the things you mentioned are done for plot and humor reasons. The filmmakers set up Sully as the “nice guy” and Randall as the “mean guy”. I think they assumed that most people would root for Sully to defeat Randall during that first Scare Floor scene. I think they expected that when the audience saw Randall pull ahead, they would go, “oh, no!” and then when Sully pulled ahead at the last minute, the audience would go, “hurray!” The reason that the slumber party conveniently happened at the last minute was that the “hero” never wins until the last minute. I think it’s also because it was funny, the way he comes out and just says, “slumber party.”

There are some interesting moral double-standards in play, like when Mike or Boo are hooked up to the scream extractor, we’re supposed to feel worried - but when Fungus is actually subjected to the machine, it’s for a laugh.

This kind of thing goes back many years in animation (and probably in movies and TV in general). I remember being struck by this kind of thing in the Inspector Gadget cartoon back in the 80’s. Dr. Claw’s M.A.D. agents are about to throw a bomb at Inspector Gadget. Penny and Brain look all worried, the suspenseful music plays, as if something bad will happen to Gadget…then, due to an accident or Penny and Brain’s intervention, the bomb inevitably backfires on the bad guys, and what happens to them? They just get mildly singed, for a laugh. If that’s all the bomb did to them, why were we supposed to be so worried about Gadget?

On Randall getting his “come-uppance” at the end - many Disney villians met much grizzlier fates. And with the film “It’s a Wonderful Life”, some people have actually complained that the villain, Mr. Potter, doesn’t get any “come-uppance”. (This was addressed in a SNL sketch in which the movie’s gentle hero, George Bailey, beats up Mr. Potter.)

I think that the “'nother gator?” scene in Monster’s Inc. was also basically for a laugh, as well as a little bit of vicarious villian vengance for the audience.

animagusurreal- I agree with you completely on everything you said in that post. It’s true- the film was created for an audience, since that is what it’s for- to entertain people. And I don’t blame Pixar for not guessing that people would ever feel the way we do about Randall- I guess, like with 90 percent of other children’s film villains, they figured that the audience would either hate him or find him mildly amusing. But, when you love something or, in this case, someone, to such an extent, it’s difficult to just put these things down to ‘they just wanted to do it for a joke’ or ‘it entertains the audience’, because since what we feel for this character is so real, we automatically put everything else in the same category.

Teh…rather covieneant to show a guy who’s workin hard quickly falls in a split second, and by such a large degree. I don’t find that relatively funny.

Hmm that is interesting. Whoa…the nice guy Sullivan hooking Fungus up to a machine that he had little knowledge about. Wow, how fair.

What is it your trying to compare here.

A difference in being that Mr. Potter was a human in the human world. So that pretty much seperates those two right off the bat.

Well for one your wrong in Ran being a villain.

Lizard Girl
Interesting point.

I also agree with animagusurreal. Besides, anyone who wishes to analyze anything else beyond what the film and extras gave us, fine by me. Just so long as speculation isn’t being pushed as the real deal, IMO.

Then again there are some things right in front of people’s faces that they don’t even notice.

[animagusurreal]

Just read this on the official Pixar website:

pixar.com/featurefilms/inc/tale.html

There are reasons why there are monsters in children’s closets - it’s their job. Monster’s, Inc., is the most successful scream processing factory in the monster world, and there’s no better Scarer than James P. Sullivan. But when “Sulley” accidentally lets a human girl into Monstropolis, life turns upside down for him and his buddy Mike. Believing human children are toxic, Sulley and Mike risk life and limb to return the girl, Boo, back home and expose the factory’s underhanded plans.

[Nexas]

Hehehe…interesting using a close source.

But that still does not have much clarity as you hoped it would have. Just like Waternoose in saying “Twice the scarer”, this little summary is based on popular belief, which is not so concrete as it seems.
