I wouldn't say Helga is crazy. She just suffers from a shit family life. To confess to Arnold prematurely would led to the one earnestly good thing in her life to possible leave. She's sensitive, poetic, intelligent, and more balanced than her sister.

Haha, time for insane ponderings.

As a kid I had a crush on Lila. And how Arnold didn't return her affections when he had the chance infuriated me. And how Arnold was far better than his cousin.
On the other hand Helgas mean, graceless and loud. As a kid I just couldn't feel sympathy for her.

Looking back now though there were countless episodes were she went through hell just for Arnold. She really does deserve him. So much so I'm not sure if he's even worthy of her you know?

>>93912005
I'm kind of disappointed that Helga's VA pretty much retired from voice acting after HA! got cancelled. She was one of the better actors and her voice was pleasant to hear, despite how quickly it changed from hopeless romantic to cruel bully, and even melodramatic drama queen.

I wonder if they ever considered just raising the pitch of her voice.

>>93914189
I feel like the womanly voice still fits the character very well, especially compared to modern cartoons where VAs don't even care to sound younger, like Star.

>>93912021
Helga loves Arnold for his qualities as a person most of all, the physical infatuation is secondary.

>>93914327
> the physical infatuation is secondary.

Seriously. She barely even mentions his physical features when she's talking to herself about him. It's more his selflessness and chivalry.

>But Craig Bartlett confirmed that Helga and Arnold live happily ever after in the end.

This shit gets me more than anything.

The idea of spending the rest of my life with the first person I had any kind of serious crush on back in middle school-high school just feels insane. It happens so much in fiction (for understandable reasons) but it's still strange to me.

Also the idea that anyone who isn't you're one true love forever is just some one night stand/doomed fling/psycho.

What about the more normal instance of people who have multiple long term relationships with occasional dates before they learn enough about themselves and what they want in a partner to find someone to settle down with?

You know it also happens in real life, right? It's rarer than the alternatives and those people are obscenely lucky, but it does happen. And it happens so often in fiction because people like the idea that it can happen. It's "perfect," and that's what people want to believe true love is like, rather than what we all know we REALLY have to go through to find it.

The majority of people don't want to watch characters having nothing but shitty relationships and failed marriages because they already have to live it.

>>93914371
TL;DR

It's a kids show and they'll live happily ever after.

>>93912942
That's obsession, not love.
She doesn't dare do anything about it, on account of she's scared the one point of light in her life will leave.
Such a realistic cartoon.

>The majority of people don't want to watch characters having nothing but shitty relationships and failed marriages because they already have to live it.

>>93914429

Yeah lots of stuff happens in real life.

>> And it happens so often in fiction because people like the idea that it can happen. It's "perfect,

Yeah, but that;'s the rub. Is it "perfect"?

>>The majority of people don't want to watch characters having nothing but shitty relationships and failed marriages because they already have to live it.

That's what I'm getting at. The idea that if a relationship doesn't last until one of you dies that it's a "failure" because spending your entire life with the first person you latch onto is "perfect" or to be expected. Especially when you meet the person when you're only freaking 13 or so years old.

Okay, so you're retarded. A relationship isn't deemed a failure because it doesn't last forever like a fairy tale. Relationships end up being failures for a lot of reasons, many of which are quite serious. I don't think you actually know what you think you're talking about.

Well, they are, at the end, fictional characters, and ones from a children's cartoon to top it all. You could make a point of being more realistic and having them end up with other people later in life, but will the audience care about those people? Or will they remember the good old couple with fondness? Not every writer has to go full Meathouse Man and end each and every relationship in misery and division.

(Anyway, Craig himself sought to resolve the "unrealistic eternal love" thing by dividing the two before "The Patakis", then having them reconnect after some time alone by the end of said planned show)

>>93914447
In multiple incidents she sacrificed her own happiness to help out Arnold and keep his spirit high even when he didn't know that she was the one helping him behind the scenes.

I love Helga's thing. She'd call Arnold all sorts of names and generally annoy him to no end but would be the first to come running if anything happened to him. I wish there was an episode with Arnold getting sent to the hospital because of an accident and Helga would be scared half to death and unable to stop worrying about him, all the while trying to hide this from Arnold.
>She'd make fun of Arnold telling him "If your eyes weren't so far apart you'd probably have seen it coming HA!" But she'd be the first to berate the nurses if they came in a minute late or made a mistake in administering Arnold's medicine.

I'm not the one who deemed a relation ship that ends as a shitty or a failure. The person I quoted did. Yeah, the reasons relationships end can (and often are) serious. Our lives revolve around relationships. they are serious things.

>>93914556

I know. I wasn't so much lambasting Hey Arnold so much as noting the popular trend in pretty much any form of media that features any children that have a crush.

>>Not every writer has to go full Meathouse Man and end each and every relationship in misery and division.

Not asking that. Just that it wouldn't hurt to give a character's first childhood crush or a teenager's /college student's dating exploits some context.

The person you quoted didn't say that either, you might have reading comprehension problems. They said "shitty relationships and failed marriages." Both of which are very real, very common things that aren't "shitty" or "failed" just because they ended. You read that guy's post the way you wanted to and misunderstood his point because of it.

>>93914667
>I know. I wasn't so much lambasting Hey Arnold so much as noting the popular trend in pretty much any form of media that features any children that have a crush.
Aren't modern cartoons written contrary to that trope, with MC not getting with the crush? Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, jury's still out on Star...

Ha! I know, because I harshly spurned and friendzoned my "Helga" and pined for my "Lila" for too long. By the final grade of high school when I finally noticed that, damn, "Helga" has gotten hot and tried going after her she was already uninterested.

I love all Pataki family characters, but it's sad that the lessons they learned would almost never stick to the later episodes.

Helga alone had to learn "Arnold loves when I act sophisticated, but I should not overdo it, else I'll lose my own identity" THREE TIMES!

I can't believe I'm in love with Helga.

>>93915245
Me too.

>>93914160
>One of the few episodes where Helga and Arnold act friendly towards one another
One of the few things I didn't like about Hey Arnold is the fact that Helga and Arnold act differently towards one another depending on the episode which happens throughout all the seasons.

Sometimes they're hostile to each other, other times they act like they barely know each other, and occasionally they behave like close friends. Here, Helga gives Arnold advice, offers him a favor, and even teases him with the occasional banter.

If this happened after the movie, it wouldn't be so jarring, because that's how I imagine Helga would act: with some friendly banter and teasing, but also willing to help Arnold openly.

Tell me about it. It's especially jarring when Helga helps Arnold out (and it shows that he knows she's good behind the facade), or they just interact friendly one episode, then the next one a similar situation happens and Arnold goes "Wow, Helga, I never knew you could be nice, I always thought you hated me!".

It's like there's never been "Arnold and Lila", where he confides in Helga about his broken heart and offers to walk her home.

Or no "Roughin' It" back in the first fucking season, where Helga invites Arnold and Gerald to Bob's BBQ in the forest and then spends the evening eating marshmallows and singing songs hand in hand with Arnold.

It's like half-continuity, half-unrelated episodic format. Or maybe...

>Sometimes they're hostile to each other, other times they act like they barely know each other, and occasionally they behave like close friends.
Or maybe the two are just written too much like mood-swinging teenagers.

>>93915341
>>93915571
Or maybe this is just what happens when you have multiple writers on a show meant for children designed to be aired out of order in syndication.

Just a fucking thought, lads.

Sane people love you when you give them a reason to love you. A crush is an unhealthy, obsessive emotion. Love is a bridge to be built. It takes hard work, and time. And money.

>>93915485
Don't let life win. It's an asshole. Find a way to be happy and make other people happy until death comes. And fight that because he's an asshole too.

>>93915711
Even healthy relationships seem to involve a lot of lying and pretending. Even friendships involve lying. You care enough about the other person to try to protect them from the truth.

Arnold would be better off with Lila. Lila is intelligent, patient, empathetic, polite, and sweet, just like Arnold. They're a perfect match.

>>93916229
Not just attention. Remember that she was from a poor household and wouldn't have her own cash to pay for a trip to Cheese Festival.

Lila is also smart enough to figure out Helga's love for Arnold and even make her confess. I wish there were more episodes centered on her that weren't about Arnold's crush. How she interacted with Olga in "Big Sis" and Helga in "Helga's Masquerade" was pretty fun, for example.

Yes, but her normal below average looks get contrasted with her "cleaned up" variants like Cecile, Carmen, Hilda, "Sophisticated" and Adult Helga.

Keeping the ugly bully look is part of her characterization: she's divided between attracting Arnold with prettiness like Lila does and revealing that she's trying to get him to like her. Part of the plot in two "Sophisticated"-themed episodes.

Yeah, uh, actually it's not as glamorous as you think, OP. First off, most girls (like 95%) are NOT like Helga when they like/love you initially. They prefer more passive aggressive techniques that almost never work. You try to talk to them and they give you the cold shoulder and play hard to get, hoping that you'll chase them and make it seem like you had to break them down in order to get them to have a date with you. There's 3.74 billion other women on this planet, it's very easy for men to just move on to another girl, unless he's some oneitis betafag or he's just aware of what the girl is doing and is keeping her on the back burner, flirting with other chicks anyway. Girls like Helga who are straightforward with their passions are a rarebreed and should be cherished. Unfortunately, if you're attracted to a girl who's standoffish, she's most likely going to turn into someone you don't recognize because feelings changes girls a lot. She could be tomboy at one time and then completely shy, timid, with a low voice the next.

Helga believe no one would be jealous of Arnold dating Phoebe, that Sheena is too geeky for Lila to notice they're dating, but only sarcastically replies that Rhonda would accept pretending to be Arnold's girlfriend. This suggests that Helga knows Rhonda is the only one that can compete with Lila.

I like everyone's reaction at Helga's dreamy smile. But Arnold knows...

>>93920017
It happened to me.

She was a younger girl i'd met online years earlier. We had been friends for many years and slowly drifted apart. Years later she confided in me that she had once been completely mad for me but it had slowly poisoned into resentment and hatred when I hadn't "reciprocated it". Only then did I start realising that I liked her, but by then it was too late.

Basically the worst possible outcome to the Helga-Arnold saga.

>>93915454
Number of girls that that expressed interest in me in the past 2 years: 0
Numbers of boys that expressed interest in me in the past 2 years: 3 maybe 4

Yeah at this point it's easier to find a gayboi then it is to find a girl of any caliber

Wasn't really that into you if it only took her a week to get eyes for Chad.

>>93920346
>suddenly get scared thinking this great friend of mine could get in some relationship dilemma with me and fuck both of us over
This was your loss. She won't have much of a friendship with you once she hooks up with some other guy.

"This isn't a date" was a good way to yank her chain and make her even more interested though.

>>93920346
You fucked up, but if she gave up on you after a week, not too badly.

>>93920399
Dubs confirm. Although maybe she just cried a lot due to Anon's dickery and then suddenly found solace with the comforting Chad.

>>93920346

Was friend's GF one of those playful non-serious types? If so then you just missed out on a sweet bi-polygamous relation ship with two girls.

>>93920727
It's sounding more and more like you dodged a bullet with a flighty, selfish person.

Nah I'm good I don't want a stalker.

>>93920727
Well, you put her in a situation where she'd have to risk her current relationship to get with someone she hasn't "tried" yet and possibly may not like hooking up with.

Though you motivations are certainly Arnold-like. "It just isn't right, Gerald!"

>>93912918
Word of god says they're soulmates, so naw.

>>93920804
Fuck you may be right

I decided to rewatch this cartoon again and two episodes still managed to make me laugh: Helga Blabs It All and Ghost Bride.

In Helga Blabs It All, Arnold and the rest of his friends are shocked to see Helga entering uninvited through the coach, covered in dust and the answering machine tape in her mouth, as she slowly leaves the room without turning her back to them, while they all look at her speechless and confused. Literally the moment she leaves, they continue their conversation as if nothing happened.

Ghost Bride: Everyone is panicking. even Arnold, because they all believe they're going to be the next victims of a serial killer ghost. Helga's scream, Harold wanting someone to carry him, and everyone just running for their lives and hiding in a tomb in hopes the "ghost" goes away, just sells it.

I thought my fond memories of Hey Arnold was all nostalgia, but it's good to know the episodes still hold up. What's the HA episodes you still enjoy today, anons?

>>93920727
>>93920346
You never had a chance with her. Bi girls almost always lean more owards girls than to be men in the first place, and even if she were straight, you sound legit autistic and no girl likes those.

I feel like the Coach Wittenberg episodes don't get enough love. The circumcised swimming episode is my favorite. I hope the rumors are true and Jim Belushi is reprising his role for the movie.

Always avoided this as a kid because I thought of it as another Doug which I hated (I liked wacky stuff) but watching it now I see it's an amazing cartoon, very excited for the rest of this watch and The Jungle Movie!

>>93912005
I've always liked Helga since I was a child but I never saw her as "waifu material" or some shit like that.

I can easily relate to her, she's like some kind of sister figure to me.

>>93922042
When Helga and Arnold do get paired up, I hope Helga still retrains some of her sarcastic, materialistic, and hysterical side, with the occasional roasting of Arnold and the rest of his classmates.

Given the current mild fashion for reboots, continuations, etc. could we get "The Patakis" if the Jungle Movie does well?

>>93930270
No way in hell. If anything, a spin off that grounded and realistic (to a degree) has even less of a chance of taking off than it did before.

Gotta get the ratings through memes and toilet jokes.

>>93930270
The plan if this movie does well is that they continue the show into another season of Hey Arnold, not The Patakis.

>>93930270
Craig mentioned in an interview that he wants to do another season of HA before doing anything with The Patakis. That said, it's probably highly unlikely...Then again, here we are with TJM on the way after 15+ years.

>>93912021
Is there a difference?

>>93912005
To this day I honestly can't believe people defend Helga's obsessive behavior. If the writers had switched her behavior around with Arnold's (and vice versa) people would be calling it abuse left and right.

God I hate that double standard (and no im not redpilled, but I am a femanon)

>>93931288
Nice dubs sister.
I feels like they did show the double standard with Brainy. Who even though he didn't have a shrine or profess his love seemed to have enough of a crush on Helga to stalk her.

One girl did, but I fucked it up a few years ago.
I still think about her.

>>93912005
I'm pretty sure that's a good thing.

>>93931605

Thanks, brother

And yeah, I always found it hypocritical that people insisted what Helga doing was so cute but Brainy creepy (he is, but still).

The therapist episode pissed me off even as a kid. Like lady, it's one thing for Helga to write poems about Arnold, having a freaking shine is another. How is that not emotionally damaging?

In spite of my complaints, I do appreciate that Helga is one of the few true morally grey characters in western cartoons (that isn't primarily action).

>>93931288
but don't you see why that is bad. if a man showed this much affection he is evil and deserves to be punished but if a woman does it is a blessing. men receive scraps of affection and so it is considered wonderful or fantastic when a girl gives it out in droves

>>93932779

The situation is shitty any way you slice it, whether Arnold and Helga have their behavior swapped or even their genders.

My main beef with the show is that it seems to insist that Helga can only find happiness by being glued to Arnold's side, when in reality treating an SO as a crutch is degrading to both people. she's a girl that's been neglected trying to get any form of attention from people, positive or negative. You need to love yourself before you can love others after all.

>>93933072
That's what I've been saying.
Helga is obsessed with Arnold because he's one of the few, if not only, people to be nice to her.

>>93933072
>You need to love yourself before you can love others after all.

Announcing your presence kind of defeats the purpose of stalking.

To be fair, the one time she was genuinely stalking him when he took Lila to that fair.

>>93912021
>>93930879
Did she ever go out of her way to make his life easier? Seems to me, she only made his life more difficult and that is not love.

Multiple episodes, but most importantly "Arnold's Christmas". He didn't even know she was helping him, and she sacrificed her own material gains just to protect Arnold's smile.

I understand why Arnold went up that swing, when he heard her name. It's always depicted as somewhat cute, but it's terrific. And don't expect support by adults. A "man" should deal with a girl on his own (ignoring the fact, that at this age sexual dimorphism hasn't kicked in, meaning this is the only agespan where girls can hurt you) and if a girl bullies you, it automatically means she loves you, no exception. And dare to defend yourself, just fucking dare, you will have the entire town against you, even your supposedly loving family.
