Any overly large or academic wording used is purley the fault of the author

Stop 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?
  :finger:
OR
  :finger:
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  :finger:  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.

i agree the two eyed leela looks a hell of alot like that news bimbo Linda, just look at them, the liknesses are uncanny.

besides, with two eyes, she look like a bimbo anyway, it is just instictive with that kind of "look" no real explination from me, just how i see it.

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.

I wish I knew how to post framegrabs so I could compare shots from 3ACV09, "The Cyber House Rules". I just think biocular Leela looks downright freaky. But that's probably due to the fact that I'm used to her having one eye because it's how I've always seen her. I mean, I also think the Simpsons would look freaky with tan-colored skin.

I like her better one eyed--of course--but for some reason I can't fathom what a real person would look like with one giant eye. In my imagination--not good

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 dunno, I thought she looked really wierd with two eyes, and not as pretty.  I was glad when she went back to normal.

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'"

I agree with Teamo - at first I was like "Yikes!" then by the end of the episode I felt comfortable with it.

Or so I thought, until she was one eyed again.  Then I felt like "all is right with the world" again.

Which in turn made me think, MAN they did that well.  Just when they had duped me into thinking 2 was ok they slammed my in the face with my own hypocrisy! 

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it was a good ep for that reason alone in my book.

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.

No, he didn't in the first Xmas episode. Have people got short attention spans around here or what?   :D

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

I also agree with Teamo.  Two eyes wasn't horrible after you get used to it (cos I saw the ep again the other day) but one eye looks better and gives her face more emotion.  In real life, I think I'd rather have her with two eyes, though.

That  Leela smiley is now my new favorite smiley.  Really cute, Teral!

Scooty-puff Jr:  I sent you a lengthy email instead.

I think the animators gave Leela "asian" type eyes, that didn't work as well with her nose as would round more Fry-like eyes.  Of course they may have been emulating the ovular shape of her original eye.  I think she looked too much like Amy, and Leela's having two eyes brought out the biggness of her nose.

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.
