[Opinions] Re: Wilbur
in reply to a message by puqk
Well, I'll be the first lame person then because Wilbur will always remind me of the movie. Some people it won't, but that's the first thought I have when I hear Wilbur. Even without the movie, it's just not my style. Both Wilbur and Abner make me think of toothless old men in overalls, who sit on their porches with shot guns and drink moonshine. Wilbur is better than Abner though, for reasons I'm not sure of. I think my mind could be swayed if I met a little Wilbur. It's actually kind of sweet on a little kid, but ages weird.Wilbur seems clunky and dorky paired next to the sleek Oliver. I think Isaac and Oliver make better brothers. Or even Jasper and Oliver. I'm not sure why I don't have the same feelings about Jasper as I do about Wilbur or Abner because they are similiar, it just has a completely different feel.http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/139762

"It's actually kind of sweet on a little kid, but ages weird."I don't really know about that. He can fall back on Will, which ages well.

Bravo. Here on BtN, where tastes tend to run against those of the majority of the general public, I takes a bit of bravery to stand with the great unwashed. I agree with your opinion of Wilbur and Abner.
