Monsters, Inc: Mr. Waternoose —Aesthetic

Henry J. Waternoose III's Character & Personality

Waternoose is a crab, spider-like monster who's the third-generation CEO of Monsters, Incorporated. As such, he's devoted his life to ensuring the growth and stability of his company. Initially, Waternoose is calm, fatherly and on good terms with his best employees. He has an affable and boisterous personality, especially when he's excited. When Monstropolis falls victim to a widespread energy crisis due to diminishing returns, Waternoose desperately attempts to save his business. In doing this, he's driven to villainy by formulating a conspiracy, which strips away his morals. Determined to not let anything stop what he thinks is the best way for his company to keep going, Waternoose puts human children in danger, never looking for other energy resources.

Can we all agree that

Randall is NEITHER a Sweet woowoo misunderstood baby NOR is he a completely Heartless and soulless demonic creature with 0 feelings?

Like even in Monster's at Work we can see that Yes. He's definitely an awful person who has done terrible things and is still out to go do more terrible things BUT we also can see he has shown to be genuinely grateful to Johnny for saving his life and actually considered Johnny to be his Best Friend (even if it was completely one-sided on his part)

yesss randall is definitely not one or the other for me

i LOVE randall but i do not see him as a sweet misunderstood baby. he has done so much awful things and as of now shows no sign of remorse. it's supposedly been 20 years since college and he's only gotten more bitter over the years; far from who he was at the beginning of college. it's unfortunate that he got mixed up in the wrong crowd, but every bad choice he's made was his choice to make. also i feel like some people forget just how messed up his plan with the scream extractor in mi was, not to mention his sadistic and murderous desires (if randall was visible during his fight with sulley it would NOT be family friendly 💀)

but he isn't doing what he's doing just for the sake of being evil, yes he's mean, but at his core, it's just that randall will go through great lengths to get what he wants, to get the recognition he craves so much, and most especially, to one up sulley. his mindset was warped by ror, which changed his life forever. monsters university fleshed out this part of randall's character, as it provided context on why he’s the way he is, and gives a different meaning to his words, actions and intentions.

though i felt randall and johnny's best friendship was random considering what happened in mu, it was an interesting change of pace to see post mu randall actually like someone. randall mentioned that he owed johnny one, but i feel like they still genuinely enjoyed each other's company. like you can see that randall and johnny actually have a connection that isn't just strictly business, unlike randall and waternoose.

i do think that part of randall also still craves johnny's attention like he did in mu. considering he's been wanting to get in with the “cool kids” since literally day one of university suggests he's been wanting recognition and status for a very long time. and with johnny still having power and status as the ceo of fear co., i feel like randall would've still wanted to work with him despite what happened in mu.

i feel that even post uni randall still feels a need to impress johnny. like when he scares tylor, it seems like he immediately looks to johnny for his reaction and approval. then, he makes a joke at chet's expense, and after, goes to stand by johnny's side. with chet being johnny's former right-hand man, it makes sense why randall takes digs at him

i imagined that sometime in university, randall said something mean to chet and johnny found it funny, so he kept doing it for his attention (like the chet-wetter thing) and even now, he still brings it up and likely says and does other mean things to chet to raise himself up and put chet down

i would've liked to think that randall narrating johnny as his “best friend joined at the hip” could've just been something he made up for his own sake, but since maw johnny seems to actually neglect chet in favour of randall, i guess the writers just decided randall would actually just be his bestie moving forward (though i think leaning into the other concept would've been cool)

would randall feel like johnny was just using him, perhaps like he did in university? maybe. but perhaps he'll take a false sense of love and acceptance over nothing

though i don't think randall would've stuck around unless it benefited him, and that proves to be true when randall abandoned johnny after he got jailed lol, with johnny not being in a place of power anymore, he's useless to him now

now that randall is on his own, i want to see him work solely for himself, by himself. not under anyone, no boss, no more with being a follower. unless some other random monster shows up or they bring back waternoose or something, randall is very likely going to be the main villain of the next season, and this could be an opportunity to see more of his personality, especially since we still have yet to see randall interact with mike and sulley

maybe he could show a shred of regret, acknowledge the weight of his actions, or how much he's changed, but still show that he's gone too far now to go back to how he was. maybe he hates who he was before. or maybe he hates who he is now. but he's done too much and worked too hard to just accept that he's lost and go back to how he used to be

maybe mike could say something along the lines of "what happened to you, randall? what happened to the nice, friendly guy i knew in university?" and randall could be like "the guy who was naive? the guy who was insecure? the guy who was nothing more than second best? that guy is gone wazowski. long gone."

or maybe randall could tell sulley how he genuinely feels about him, and how much he was affected by always being in his shadow. perhaps sulley could acknowledge his skills and say that he could turn things around and do great things at the factory, and randall could laugh at the idea and say some stuff like "work together? under your management? what a joke. i don't think so. i'm not standing in your shadow, sullivan. not anymore."

idk lol but i think it would be cool to give randall some kind of scene that acknowledges his past or makes you sympathize with him a bit but not excuse his actions, or something to make the audience reflect on how tragic his character is or what could've been. i'd also like if he went as hard as he did when he nearly pushed sulley off the door to his death, especially considering the position sulley is in now

mu's existence changed and fleshed out randall's character (even if he didn't have as much scenes as he could've) and i would love to see this show do the same. except tylor is the main character and the show focuses more on mift; even mike and sulley aren't really the focus so i don't think they'd put that much emphasis on randall (but i'd love to be proved wrong)

for the record, though i currently think randall is in a state where he's far from redemption, i'm not completely closed off to the idea as long as it's in character and written well. though no offense but idk if maw/disney could actually manage to pull that off lol. whatever happens i just hope they do his character justice at least 🙏

(I'm very sorry that I didn't publish more new posts a month ago than I did one a month ago; because I'm semi-inactive as long as I'm just browsing on search or on followed tags and reblogged others' posts in my page for my general interest)

Yesterday, it was about four days in a row that I slowly but semi-decidedly finished the design sheet/concept art + supplementary informations of Randall Boggs and Mr. Waternoose from Monsters Inc. in the version of my unfinished but immediate Crossover AU project/fan book called "Star Heart", this is because this idea of mine usually arose from my strange imagination about the fact that it would happen to these two villainous and meanly disruptive monster boys who generally appeared more often in my Crossover AU of the project at all lol XD.

Anyway, I hope you like my conceptual fan work of two MI villains, as I haven't drawn them in two or three years.

Art, Star Heart AU variant and the mention of my characters (including Dile) are belongs to me (C)

Randall and Mr. Waternoose from Monsters Inc. franchise belongs to Walt Disney Pictures/ Pixar Animation Studios (C)

Randall dies. I don't wanna him to die nevertheless but I guess he could die in Season 3.

How interesting that in both posters (the one in the left appeared in a convention and the one on the right was used in social media) Roger Rogers is peaking out of a door while one of his hands is coming out of another. One that's close to Tylor.

Roger/Henry J. Waternoose IV Angst, Hurt/Comfort, and Fluff Headcanons:

Roger was obviously in a psychologically abusive relationship with his father

He has a very healthy relationship with his mom and she is quite the doting mother who DEFINITELY coddles him...A LOT

It's canonically proven that mentioning his real name triggers the memory of being perceived as being just as awful as his dad but likely triggers the psychological abuse his dad burdened him with

His mom and dad had a VERY rocky relationship and his mom filed a divorce towards her husband after the whole "kidnapping children" incident and took full custody of Roger

Roger would frequently have nightmares about his dad regarding the psychological abuse he'd been through

Most likely the psychological abuse still takes a toll on Roger that his dad may have blackmailed him to do his bidding regardless of the fact of Roger regretting it

Being with the MIFT team helps him cope with his trauma, especially looking up to Fritz as the father he never had

Roger and Duncan likely bond over the fact of both of them being Mamma's boys

When he's not working at Monsters Inc., Roger works a part-time job as a safari guide at the Monstropolis Zoo (which this headcanon is likely inspired by the fact his VA plays a field guide in both Jumaji movies)

Roger has a HUGE collection of personilized collectable keys

Even though he won't admit it, Duncan actually enjoys singing along to the songs that Roger sings but prefers to do it in private in his "secret office" away from his fellow MIFTers that only Smitty and Needleman know about that he prefers that they would not say a word about it
