Goob: The Abandoned Villain

Well he's not a villain at the end. That timeline doesn't exist anymore since goob was saved and won the game.

[@Hypercube2017]

Anger, pain, grief, sorrow, these make us linger on our mistakes, on wrongs that were done _to_ us or _by_ us. But regret, shame, guilt, self-hatred, these make us think that it’s too late to change, too late to grow. It’s not so much that we _don’t_ want help, it’s more that we think we don’t _deserve_ help; we think it’s better for others if they leave us behind, and that we’re safer here, in the same spot we’ve always been. This video, and your statement, reminded me that despite everything, it’s not too late. We just have to take the plunge and accept the help offered. Swallow our pain, our anger, our shame, and our pride; choose to push on, rather than sink in this Swamp of Sadness; choose to live, rather than slowly die.

[@levievil9220]

@@Hypercube2017I honestly hope we could’ve seen a good future goob like final credits of him catching the game winning ball for the major leagues and the Robisons were cheering him on wherever they are and even though he ain’t biologically family most of them call him uncle goob

[@Hypercube2017]

@@levievil9220 yeah, though we can at least imagine that Lewis kept up with Goob, staying friends with him and helping him through life. Who knows, maybe Goob and Lewis would become best friends, and their families would kind of blend together into a single, large family by the time of the future.

[@IaeyanElyuex]

And that right there threw a wrench in the entire movie. That move right there. Now Goob would not be hit with the catalyst that turned him to that, and so he never stole Doris, so no time travel happened, so the whole plot after the initial science fair never took place.

[@Asmodeus-D4rk]

@@IaeyanElyuex Yeah, the whole point of Lewis going after his mom was about the risks of changing the past, Wilder was risking his entire existence. And then two minutes later Lewis goes on and changes another crucial point of his story.

[@LunaP1]

It’s interesting how Bowler created a time paradox by interacting with his past self. He told present Goob to hold on to his grudge like he did, but Goob ended up telling him to let it go instead. His ranting and raving might’ve had an affect on his past self to the point where he promises himself to never turn out like that. This also effectively erased the Evil Goob timeline (and Lois erased the timeline where Evil Goob met his past self).

[@CaptMirage]

he was not a villain, he was a victim of a sad story

[@SpammingY]

A very important aspect of Goob is that it was all his own mind. Nobody abandoned him, nobody hated him, it was all in his head because he couldn't move on from his mistake and getting beat up for it. The kids he walks by in the flashback compliment his binder and invite him to their house- he was WRONG to believe he was hated. People would only leave him because he'd lash out at them, trying to explain/justify his own issue, which they didn't remember or know about at all, and it didn't matter anymore. He kept himself stuck in his past, quite literally in the same room and in the same clothes. Good one, Disney.

[@komisiantikorupsikoruptord6257]

He was beaten badly. Dut

[@SpammingY]

@ I mean after that. I'm saying that to him, that moment was his defining moment- when in reality, it was a bunch of kids who were angry about losing a baseball game. Nobody hated him after that, he was just an easy target at the time to take out their aggression.

[@FREECIVVIE]

I still wish they went with the original ending, where Lewis takes Bowler hat guy back in time to the ball game and he wakes up Goob to catch the baseball. He then continues the running gag "This plan was NOT well thought out" as he realizes that rather then fixing his life, he devoted his time and energy to ruining other lives of others.

[@tahutoa]

Wait, you mean the scene I remember, where BHG says "wake up, little Goob!" on the other side of the fence, was NOT the one from the finished film? Was it the director's cut that I saw, then? I could've sworn he and Lewis both went back to wake him up, and BHG pitched in after Goob wasn't waking up at first, or something

[@ShudowWolf]

@@tahutoa I saw it like 10 years ago, but I remember (Lewis? I really need to rewatch this movie) blonde kid doing it.

[@Koopalingfan]

I respect your opinion. But I feel it doesn’t work because Goob needed to realize Doris was just using him and Doris wasn’t doing anything. Goob just having nothing to do works better because it shows what happens if you don’t keep moving forward.

[@komisiantikorupsikoruptord6257]

It's not the hat's idea to want revenge

[@滋榎本]

He serves as a dark side to Lewis; both were obsessed with some events from the past (Lewis with his failed inventions, including the Memory Scanner; Bowler Hat Guy from his blundered baseball game while as a child). However, Lewis knew when to mature himself from any failure of his, while the Bowler Hat Guy wasn't able to let go of how his past screwup affected him (at least, initially). Had Lewis not learned to leave the past behind and keep moving forward, he could have ended up becoming just like the Bowler Hat Guy.

[@xenoemblem7]

But more dangerous since He's a genius.

[@donaldcass9678]

is that from Villains wiki ?

[@emeraldpichu1]

You can’t really ignore that Lewis took away his only chance to get new friends by winning that game with his actions and then the very next day left him behind in a hostile environment in the original timeline. It may not have been by choice, but he did make the situation worse on his way out. It’s understandable why he was angry that day. When He was talking to the perspective couple because he was probably festering with the issue for weeks. Sure looked like he was going to take the coaches advice, but that was without Lewis getting everything he wanted and then leaving him there without back up or even apologizing.

I do hate that they didn't even have Goob show up at the end in the changed future. To show that they became close in contrast to the original future. Maybe even imply that one of his inventions help goob, like after a baseball game as an adult or teen he broke his leg or spine in such a way that Lewis would take it upon himself to help in. As his friend.

[@levievil9220]

Well maybe the timeline hasn’t changed yet we do know that if certain events or someone saying something there’s an immediate effect technically luis hasn’t woken up goob yet we know this because of Doris on how she immediately started to be dusted by the timeline by luis saying he’ll never invent her so it’s kinda of a weird case of time travel where you do certain things time will inevitably create a semi paradox yet it’ll still happen and not happen at the same time until the end of the movie at least aka it’s back to the future type logic mixed in with paradox timelines

[@ma.2089]

It felt bittersweet, one of those situations where you don’t keep that connection. Ppl sometimes drift apart. I honestly thought Lewis felt guilt and thought it best that Goob didn’t associate with him further out of fear of messing up his life again. But it would’ve been nice if Goob made the push to connect with Lewis and assuage that guilt or fear too. It’s a mixed bag.

[@thoilvalkyrja25]

[@peridrawland5955]

Wow I had never heard the english voiceover for Goob, my only exposure for this movie was the latin spanish dub, and his voice is AMAZING, the voice has a low, weighty tone, that compliments both his incompetent moments and when he tries to play the villanous delivery, and just as well when shown vulnerable at the end of the movie

[@frudthegamer1012]

Meet the robinsons was truely underrated. The simple story of Moving along the time, not letting the hardships of the past hold us down.

[@EChacon]

Personally Bowler Hat Guy (Michael Goob Yagoobian) is easily one of the best Twist villains Disney has done along with King Candy/Turbo, and I say he’s a perfect example on how you do a Disney Twist Villain when compared to Hans and those released after him, even I don’t forgive *cough*Cellspex*cough* for putting Hans above Bowler Hat Guy in her Disney/Pixar Twist villains rankings ​​⁠Not to mention we also had DOR-15 (Doris) being the actual Twist villain of the film that a few people didn't saw coming cause we thought DOR-15 was the intelligent robotic sidekick but was more like HAL and Skynet in terms of enslaving humanity. I honestly would've preferred if Bowler Hat Guy being an Adult version of Goob would be the only plot twist in the film instead of adding another plot twist (DOR-15).

It's interesting. Goob as an adult would have been a very powerful sith in the star wars universe given his ideals of letting hatred and suffering fuel all of your actions. He would go from goofy and silly to something very different if he had the ability to crush people's lungs with his mind.

[@michaeljordan5630]

I’ll give you a reason why Goob work as a redeemable villain: 1. He was indirectly affected by Lewis and choose to blame himself for his lost and harbor his hate from Lewis. Justified anger is up to who relate to him. 2. Goob only wanted to ruin Lewis future not enslave the earth or didn’t knew what Doris was manipulating him so his action and intentions mean more than his past. 3. Goob after discovering the truth about Doris realized his action would not just ruin Lewis but everyone, and feels guilty for his action. He was given a chance to join the Robinson Scott free but his heart was too heavy and banished himself. Know he ruined his future to ruined everyone. Most importantly he stopped viewing himself as the victim and saw he was worse than the monster he thought he was fighting. Last HE WAS REEDEMABLE! Because of Lewis seeing his mistakes and knowing he has a chance to indirectly help Goob in the past to change his future. Redemption is circumstantial the future felt like he can’t be redeemed but the present can be redeemed because Goob would still be capable of doing the same thing but because of Lewis didn’t. Goob was redeemed because of Lewis fixing their mistake.

[@Koopalingfan]

Agree.

[@lonelyrain5480]

I really like this message and I needed to hear it as well. Move on and do better and don't let the past ruin your future. Move on in life is what I got from this

[@Koopalingfan]

Totally agree, well done. Goob is such a underrated villain and is one of my favorite villains along with Doris because how relatable and funny he is at the same time. Doris enslaving humility is a very good twist. He is one of the realistic Disney villains because how he doesn’t want world domination just ruin Lewis’s future and was just bitter. While he was in a way right to be angry at Lewis for keeping him up all night working on his project which caused him to miss the baseball during the game, which resulted in him getting beaten up for something that wasn’t his fault. Like the movie says he should’ve moved forward from that incident. I like that despite Goob regretting his actions, he doesn’t get a happy ending, instead now he has nothing to do. Which makes his fate realistic because it shows what happens if you don’t keep moving forward because you’ll just end up hurting yourself and Doris just using him shows you’ll also end up hurting others you don’t want to harm. It’s good that Lewis like you said acknowledges where he was wrong and redeems himself. I agree which is why it makes just Lewis waking up Goob better.

Goob was a victim of the villain, a mysterious figure, and a tool used by the villain but he isn't himself a villain.
