It really annoys me how Willis's character changed over the years.

In the later episodes the only lines he got where to say things like "I have to push women away" or "All the girls love me" or something like that.

Him and Arnold linked really well together early on too but they barely spoke to each other in the end.

In the later episodes, I've noticed Willis use to threaten Arnold with his fist when Arnold either doesn't want to do something, or when he is keeping information from Willis.

In the last season, Arnold has been insulting Willis alot by making fun of him. I thought it was stupid for them to have Arnold insult Willis when Arnold is the one who shouldn't be talking because of his height. I think it was Gary's idea for them to include the insults to Willis in the script just to make Arnold look more dominant. This is also why he is playing the big brother role to Sam, and Arnold's one-liner jokes was used by Sam instead. Because in the last season, Arnold wasn't as funny as he was in the earlier episodes. I guess puberty dilutes the sense of humor of a person and makes them a boring sap for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing too. That friendly brotherly love was gone when Willis got older. In the early seasons Willis would protect Arnold, but as they grew older it all changed. It's kind of disappointing, but its true life you know?

I think that's really stupid, in the early episodes Willis and Arnold were really close like the final scenes in these episodes-

Room Divided &
The Fight

Where there ever any moments like that in the later episodes?

And has anyone seen the episode "Willis Goes To College" because I haven' seen it yet and I'm interested to know what it's like?

i have seen the episode "willis goes to college". in the episode, arnold does insult willis and does'nt even care that he is leaving. but he leaves willis a letter, saying that he would really miss him and that he loved him. that episode was probably the only episode in the last season that had the both of them as close as they were in the earlier seasons.

Willis did change, but I think he did love Arnold in every episode, but didn't show it as much like when he was younger. Willis goes to college is a very touching ep. A good one I must say. But Willis was growing and of course the only thing you think about is girls, heck that's the only thing I think about too. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Also, of course you don't want to be too touchy with your siblings when your older. You know its seems kinda uncool.

And didn't he have some bad pick up lines like, "Hey foxy mama, hot bout' a date with a bad mate." LOL!
