Any overly large or academic wording used is purley the fault of the authorStop me if this has been discussed already. HA! You can't! HA! When I see 2 eyed leela, I think bimbo. 2 makes her look stupid. 1 makes her look more of a leader. Explanations: Our favoritism of more even or symetrical faces? That the one large eye is just just a more perfect face instinctivly? OR Comparitivly, Leela's face was designed for one eye, both by our experiences watching her shaping our expectations and the creators design intentions. That our natural tendacy to see a certein face as holding a simple mind (ie, her face looks thinner with 2) is expanded. Meaning simply I'm making this whole thing up from nothing. I've lost the concept of what I was meaning to say, so I'll stop. Jump in anyone

I've always favored one-eyed Leela to two-eyed Leela. Looks more natural, and a hell of a lot cuter.
I don't think 2 eyes makes her look like a bimbo, but odes make her lose her uniqueness.
What's up with the fascination with the finger-smilie? It's a great way to make people not respond to your topic.

Definately one-eyed, because she was designed that way. A two-eyed Leela isn't... well... Leela.

Except for the lack of a ponytail, Linda's different hairdo, her smaller nose, the lightbulb shaped head and the smaller lips I guess you could agree with you.

You think there might be a reason it was a one-episode deal?

well, when i first saw her with two eyes i thought it looked terrible! but after a while i thought she looked really preety as a two-eyed person. but then, when she became one-eyed again at the end of the ep, i thought that looked terrible but at the same time i thought yah she is back to normal! i guess at first, i hate the change but then it dosent take long for me to get use to it. though when i saw her for the first time i didnt really notice that she only had one eye....on the other hand my friends were like "omg does she only have one eye!?!?" right away <--That is sooo cool teral!

I agree, two eyes looked weird and unusual, while one eye is unique and cute. To quote David X Cohen (who quoted someone elese): "'there is no greater beauty than a face of imperfection'" Originally posted by Teamo: <--That is sooo cool teral!
Yeah, it's adorable. Welcome to PEEL. Enjoy it here. And may I commend you on your excellent taste in avatars.

We'd probably have to ask the guys at Hip Joint.de for permission first.
Anyway, I watched "The cyber House Rules" today (vacation, woohooo!),a nd I noticed something about the way Leela's two eyes are positioned. The down-pointing V-shape make her look annoyed.
No matter how the mouth turned, the eyes always have this frown-quality about them. So as a result she always looked annoyed or miffed about something.
Maybe why one-eyed Leela look so much cuter.

For some reason, two eyes just doesn't work with Leela. One eye just makes her so good looking.

Her nose doesn't look right to me when she's two eyed.

No, Jesse. There will be no eye-poking. Would be nice if you gave me a call or IM.

One helluva bump here - let me know if it's a record. Originally posted by Teral:

Maybe why one-eyed Leela look so much cuter. Annoyed is her normal state. Leela can be a tender soul at times, but she is perpeptually pissed-off about something. She can still frown with one eye - the way she rolls it when annoyed (quite often) says more than any words can.

Ever think that Adilia(?) was/is Linda's cosmetic surgeon? Maybe that's why there was a likeness. I have this to say (Get something to eat. It may take awhile)... If Leela was introduced into the series as a non-cycloptic being people would've gotten used to her like people got used to her have one eye. Now then imagine that she had a surguery to get one eye (For some reason or another) then everyone would think she looks weird and freaky and bimbo-y. So My point is that everyone is accustomed to the one eyed Leela. Although the producer or Charater designers could of made have two eyes to begin with. But I think if Leela had gotten a better cosmetic surgeon who knew what they were doing she would've turned out a lot nicer than she did.

Leela looked OK with 2 eyes - it was just not the Leela that we have come to know and love. Leela was happy with looking 'normal' until she realized that even with 2 eyes, she was the same person. She was not going to give up the self-respect that she had worked/fought hard for her entire life to be 'normal'. Seeing little 3 eared and 1 tail Sally bought back all the memories of being different - and having her boyfriend look at her as being 'abnormal' made Leela realize how narrow minded and bigoted Adlai was. I'm glad it was a one time thing - I kinda like the cyclops Leela.
