Villain Check[]

I don't think this character classifys as a Villian on the account of her own programming on Frylock's account. 


Chibi, I don't have much time right now, so I'll have to make this brief.

Robositter--Villain because she threw Meatwad out a window and may have mentally scared him for life.

Steve--Not a villain. He didn't really do anything to intentionally cause harm.

Pizza P--A location as a villain?! What is this? I don't even-- Remove it from the category at once because I don't have time.

Also, Chibi, please be sure to sign into Wikia. It may have automatically logged you out, in which case, I apologize, as you may not have noticed. Edd Shwartz (talk) 17:38, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

No I didn't notice; my harddrive crashed so i'm using a backup. While my login info was saved by my gmail account, it did not sign me back in and I failed to notice. 

Robositter- I don't thin she can be classified as a villian as she would have been operating off of Frylock's programming which does not make her truely evil with real intent to cause harm of her own free will which would disqualify her from the catagory.


Steve -removed


Pizza P- removed. Chibifoxkit (talk) 00:10, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

You bring up a compelling point, Chibi. If Billy (a 4-year-old) came back to his bootleg Game Boy game to discover that his game did not save, he might call the game evil for screwing with him. However, the save feature was not programmed properly by the programmer, so it cannot be the Game Boy game's fault. 

However, the way I've always interpreted the episode is as follows: Frylock gave Robositter artificial inteligence for reasons that are not made clear to the viewer. Robositter somehow had a knowledge of teen girls (presumabley because Frylock put the data from that Omniscience disk from "Super Trivia" into Robositter), and she somehow thought they were cool. She had artificial intelligence, so she came to this decision on her own. While artificial intelligence may not exist in the real world, Aqua Teen Hunger Force has never followed real world logic. Saying she is disqualified from the villains category is like saying that serial killers are not criminals because some supernatural force chose for them to murder people.

Regular computers are different because, as any programmer knows, they cannot do what they are not programmed to do; this is like calling someone evil because they were unable to run across the entirety of New York City in a minute to save you from getting mugged. I agree that this is not sound logic, but Robositter is capable of sentient thought, as evidenced by her being able to learn how to build another robot (which Frylock likely didn't bother to teach her, unless of course he happened to find the Omniscience DVD lying around and said, "Screw it!!").

Futhermore, this is not the "Evil" category. You can be a villain without being completely evil. The Onceler from "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss could logicailly be considered a villain but not evil. He did the world a disservice by doing bad things, but he wasn't doing it to simply get a laugh out of the environment being destroyed. He couldn't stop production when things were getting out of control, as putting millions out of a job would be wrong too. Plus, the Thneeds were intended to help people. It was a two-sided argument, but ultimately he was in the wrong, at least in the eyes of the author. I see your point, but I respectfully disagree. You are entitled to your opinion, but I am entitled to mine as well. I hope you don't get mad at my discussing this, Chibi. Edd Shwartz (talk) 01:34, November 11, 2014 (UTC)


Welp, i'm open to hearing Sib's vote on the matter; but if we're talking artificial intellgience, do you know why we call it that? Because as it's name sake suggests, it's not true intelligence, I believe the day will come that we can minpulate polymorphic code so advanced that machines will gain free will, but that day has yet to come. Now in the show, frylock says it's an artificial intelligence robot, which means she is very much bound to her programming. 

As such, she is neither evil nor a true Villian. My point remains. I await your responce. 

P.S. It's good to be back.

It's good to have you back. Although I still disagree with the point about Robositter being a villain, I will take your word on the concept of artificial intelligence not being what cartoons make it out to be. CURSE YOU, CARTOONS!! YOU HAVE FAILED ME AGAIN, JUST AS YOU HAVE FAILED ME WITH THE IDEA OF AIRBAGS BEING DANGEROUS!! CURSE YOOOOOOUU!!

Hehe, I'm still waiting on Sib's view. 

I don't think it is worth it to split hairs here. It does not matter that Robositter is not capable of free will and that it is presumably a bug in her system that makes her act the way she does, Robositter is still the antagonist of this episode. Though you bring up a good point, I don't think we should start making exceptions when the villains category is meant to act as an umbrella category. --Siberian99 (talk) 05:04, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

Holy crab baskets, I forgot to reply to this, I was going to ask about narrowing the specturm for what can be considered a villian vs an antagonist.... Chibifoxkit (talk) 22:43, April 1, 2015 (UTC)
