Hello, eviljester, welcome to PEEL: Enjoy your stay here at nerd-world. Don't forget to read the FAQ. Originally posted by eviljester: But whether you love or hate her, please i'd like to know. Directly, she is not one of my favourite chracters, nore do I really like her. She may be an interesting charcter, but not realy meant to be loved. Even if here or there you sometimes can notice a "soft core behind the cold shell". So, interesting, but not a character I like ... If you are interested in Mom, you may would like too see these threads: " Mom or Mr.Burns, who is the most evil", " Mom episodes", " Best Mom Quote" and " MOM...IS...NOT...MR...BURNS!!!".

I love MOM! She's so vile and evil - you know when you see her that hijinks will shortly ensue. I think that I must be the only person who immediately knew she was based on MOM from the 1980's movie (which flopped) Dr. Detroit. If the series had lasted longer, I would have loved to seen an ally to our beloved Planet Express crew in the form of Dr. Detroit - the vileness would have been off-the-scale. My favorite scene from Dr. Detroit: "Mom, I'm going to rip your head off and shit down your neck." God, that was so funny. edit: From Wikipedia: Futurama's villainous "Mom" appears to reference the "Mom" in Doctor Detroit, in that her henchmen are all-clad in grey, double breasted, chauffers uniforms, much like the henchmen in Doctor Detroit

Mr. Burns is just kind of insane evil, unlike Mom who is just evil, evil. Originally posted by Ralph Snart: edit: From Wikipedia:

The guy on the commentary may have been right and I know Wikipedia isn't a very reliable source, but I'm going with the Wiki article since I watch Dr. Detroit just a few weeks ago and the henchmen dressed exactly like Mom's sons.

(After all, she doesn't seem to be thinking about being taken to the Near Death Star). I had got the impression that in those flash-backs to the time where the Professor was working at the Friendly Robot Company, Mom doesn't look significantly younger than Hubert. Especially if she is one to take better care of, and pay more attention to her appearance than he does (to his).
Mom doesn't have to worry about the Near-Death Squad Robots - she controls them. And then, even if she didn't control them, she has enough money and power to be able to buy her way out of being taken to the Near-Death Star. Damned robots make me sick to my ass! - Mom can always be counted on saying something funny and vile in the same breath. One day, I want to marry a woman just like her.

I might be rather alone with my opinion, but Mom isn't really such a great villain for me. I can't quite point my finger at it: The concept behind her is without a doubt new, unusual and hilarious...but something about the way it is executed just does not seem completely right to me.
ImhO, she is okay as a villain, also above average, but -at least for me- something is missing to make her an excellent, brillant villain.
