I like that they didn't go with the cliche "he was evil the whole time" twist and revealed he was a legit good person and im glad about that and its one of the factors of why season 2 is a huge step in quality compared to the last one
On top of that, the actual villain characters _remained_ as villains. They really did get me with Johnny. I honestly thought he had turned a new leaf, given how professional and courteous he seemingly was... I didn’t think he’d still be evil by the end of the season. Now _that’s_ what works. Meanwhile, protect Roger at all costs!
And it also manages to look similar to his father, but Monsters Inc character design has always been perfect, and Roger’s is another S tier design in every sense.
Well Waternoose seemed like a nice guy until he was desperate and took very awfully drastic measures. He hid his bad side from others and even then didn’t want to be a bad guy, but he made his choice.
I’m guessing his wife probably divorced him after learning his intentions . and she’s obviously a squid because Rogers does not look anything like him.
And the fact you have to live with the damage your family has done or try to show the people who got hurt by theme that you aren't like theme much like Zoe from ladybug and Sub zero in mortal kombat
The fact that he is the son of the main villain of the 1st movie and he is nothing like him give us so much potential for a potential father-son clashing. Imagine season 3 where he confronts his escapee father.
Well,he said he regularly talks on the phone with his dad. So maybe he could appear again. We got appearances from Randall,Johnny and Chet so it makes sense.
I saw on the Disney Wiki that Mr. Waternoose was originally going to be voiced by Kelsey Grammer in Monsters University, but his scenes in the movie got cut. Maybe they'll bring him back for season 3 of this show.
At the end of season 2 Randall escape prison so What if Randall isn’t the only one that escaped prison and Waternoose has escaped as well and Randall was drawing attention away from waternoose while he made his escape the media wouldn’t know he escaped immediately and just reported Randall escape and waternoose could make his comeback/revenge in season
@@werty21100 Unless Pixar is willing to recast Waternoose, I doubt that he'll make a proper appearance in the show aside from the mugshot that appears in Season 2. Also they say that Johnny is in the same cell as Waternoose so its unlikely.
I thought it was Roger up until he was desperately trying to wipe off the paint, he felt like he was trying to remove evidence from something he knows he didn't to.
I thought he was behind it too, I also thought he was taking advantage of Sully and Mike and was hired by Johnny Worthington to frame Tylor so he would work at Fear Co. Also the telephone conversation did look like a villain henchman being afraid of telling their boss they failed. Or Roger was worked alone or Randall was behind it.
It’s a low point built up over the course of many episodes, which makes the drama actually earned and the split up is also unavoidable since Tylor is accused and fired.
I had a feeling he was gonna be a red herring for the season, but I couldn't help but feel so bad for him during the vandalism episode where he was desperately trying to wash the paint off and berating his father, and trying to explain himself. :'( That pure bean didn't deserve that at all.
Technically he threw out his birth name henry and chose roger, not sure if Rogers is his mother's maiden name but it would make sense if divorce was involved.
Here’s what I hope we see in S3: • Waternoose in the flesh - and it would be nice to see him and Johnny interact since we haven’t seen them on screen together. • Mike and Sulley’s reunion with Randall. • And the return of the Oozma Kappa gang, Dean Hardscrabble, and Boo - it would be especially nice to see Boo have a role in taking Randall down for the count again.
@@Endore5000 I have no doubt (whatsoever) that the show will get renewed for a third season. There’s still some loose threads that need to be tied up, and I really think the writers are trying to come full circle with all the major characters from MI and MU. And I do believe it’s fully possible that we could see Boo again, but that probably won’t be until the end of the series (whenever that is).
While we never actually see Roger interact with his dad aside from the phone call, you can easily figure out their relationship by watching the movies. Like Mike, Roger doesn’t give off the vibe of a scary monster, and even if he could be scary Waternoose was already jaded to all other scarers besides Sully in Monsters Inc since he was under the pressure of the company shutting down and the fact that kids were getting harder to scare. So it’s easy to put 2 & 2 together that Waternoose would probably see Roger as a sort of family disgrace and didn’t really see him as a worthy successor to the company (which kind of makes his relationship with Sully even more messed up since Waternoose treated him like the son he always wanted) so it’s easy to put 2 & 2 togethe
That's exactly why I added this to the WMGs in the TvTropes page of Monsters at Work. Should Waternoose appear in season 3, Roger would definitely have the chance to call out his old man and show him how far he's got in spite of his less than stellar upbringing.
when i first saw him, i thought that he was a spy from fear co, and sabotage monsters inc from the inside, but i was wrong, it turns out (spoilers ahead) it was randall the whole time
At first I was thinking he was a spy, and was just acting too nice, but then I thought that that would be too obvious and early and that he was merely set up as a red herring character which turned out to be correct.
When I first saw Roger Roger’s I already like him but I was a bit worried that he’s a mole for fear co or something but I’m glad he prove me wrong. He a sweet guy to the end
It may not, in the credits of the season finale, Roz says, “Remember, keep rewatching, always keep rewatching” while the season one finale had Fritz say, “Aww, it’s over, here’s hoping for season 2”
@@Bobsburgers123My brother thought Roger would be a spy for Johnny at Fear Co. like he’s the son of Monster Inc.’s disgraced boss Mr Waternoose until Roger is nothing like his old man. Tyler didn’t do anything wrong in MI, we know he lied before but this time it’s true!
It's perfectly understandable because he shows to be sincerely good-hearted and altruistic, regardless looking suspicious at first. Despite this, I find Taylor more interesting as he spends the season being shared between good and bad (he is torn between the effort to give to children hapiness and friendship VS the opportunity to become a succesful scarer as he was promised since his graduation) whereas Rogers simply decided not to be as immoral as his father. He is a bit the archenemy of Randall which was evil and awful from the begining, despite hiding his true nature at first in the prequel
When I first saw him in this video (two months ago lol XD), I started to really like Roger. He's really a sweet happy-go-lucky guy and likes making everyone happy. I really like him a lot! 😊💕
14:02 For what it's worth guys, I'm glad that Fritz has become a better father for Roger Rogers as they have a special Father son relationship man. I wish I had something like that 😊😥👍
I think it was genius the way his character was handled. All of us, and eventually Tylor himself, were fooled into thinking he had some ulterior motives for working there, only to turn out he is as silly and goofy as he first appears. The fact that he is Waternoose's son just adds a layer of greatness to an already great character. Just because you have a family member that is bad doesn't mean you're going to turn out the same way. You are your own person regardless of the actions of your family.
Its called redemption and he is being himself and not trying to be a waternoose like sully who is not being a Sullivan. Hope that roger is going to have a major role a d meet boo or mary. Then later at the end he might meet his first ever kid friend at the door as a jokester
When I first saw him, I knew there was something off about him, from his overly enthusiastic to musical personality. My suspicion for him grew the more saw him in the episodes. At first, I suspected and assumed that he was an undercover spy from Fear Co. But no, I get to Epi. 8 and turns out he's the SON OF MR. WATERNOOSE. And turns out he's the complete opposite of his dad and was completely innocent. Now, he became my favorite, replacing Duncan (jk). Also, THE FACT THAT RANDALL WAS BEHIND THE WHOLE VANDALISM
@anthonytheyelmet9636 Oh damn that sucks. At least you're not like my sister cuz she LOVES spoilers IDK WHY (I also apologize if I accidentally spoiled it for you too)
the fact that he is mr. waternoose's son REALLY make's me wanna know more of his story! what kind of relationship did roger have with his father before he was jailed! what was it like being the son of the owner of a successful scream company? was roger initially set to one day become monsters inc's new CEO?
Henry in my theory have abandoned and aliented his family. His ex wife(mrs. Rogers-waternoose) and henry jr. Or roger Roger is being his own character amd he was being kind and generous but funny. He even wanted to get to know better. He decided to called himself as roger and not henry waternoose jr and take his mother's last name which is rogers. He basically reversed sully or the next sully. He might become a jokester as well in the future and meet his kid friend like sully did to boo or mary and tylor friends with ben. Then val friends with amani, if i got it correctly. Idk?
Something that mostly surprised me is that Roger is actually Waternoses son which explains the mutiple eyes they have and how Roger called him from prison
This guy is one of the best characters in the show. Protect him at all cost. I’m glad the creators didn’t make him bad like his father. Like just because your parents are evil doesn’t automatically make you evil as well. The design looks interesting. Apart from his father’s eyes, the rest has gotta be from the mother.
I really like Roger, his personality is wonderful and brings so much light into the world. Also i really enjoyed Roger's song about those cheeky leaks. As a sidenote i like his name cause it's fun and i it reminds me of Star Wars
In season 1, Otis mentioned that his family member’s eye was starting to not work anymore, but she had many eyes so it was ok. I think Roger’s top right eye is a dead eye of some sort, but it blinks independently.
Roger was definitely a good character. If season 3 does happen and Henry J Waternoose does appear, he should be voiced by Kelsey Grammer since he was originally going to voice him in Monsters Universty. Perhaps he can be like Yokai from Big Hero 6, where he regrets his actions, but still has to face the consequences in jail.
Or monsters inc 2 Henry, randall and even johnny return. Boo. Now 9, she would teaming up. Along with tylor. Ben would also have a role as well since he is tylor's friend. Then at the end. Roger would become a jokester and do funnier stuff and meet up a kid friend just like boo first met sully.
Henry in my theory. He abandoned roger and then his mom(ex wife) Henry have alienated them and no longer in their lives. Henry jr decides to called himself as roger and take his mother' last name which is rogers
@@artisticsolarninja Interesting and that’s an interesting theory. I feel Henry should be like Robert Callaghan in Big Hero 6 tv series. Maybe Roger like Luke Skywalker will try to redeem his father by seeing the good in him.
@@skips_51 roger would one day meeting up a kid human friend and then roger acted like the next sully and proud of who he is and he wishes to be a comedian and a jokester
I didn’t know Rogers was really a waternoose but he doesn’t look like him because his dad’s a crab while he looks like an octopus of some sort unless it comes from his mom.
@@brianachim2670 I have to rewatch that episode, but I can only assume that he was merely trying to clean the graffiti up when he saw it as quickly as possible for the sake of it, not because he was trying to cover his tracks, but to be very helpful for Monsters Inc so they wouldn’t look bad for the media and thus got messy.
Yes I suspected him the whole time, especially with the spray paint when he was covered in it and I even said aloud, “He cant clean it, they got him this time!” But boy was I amazingly surprised! Hes an all around good goof! I never suspected Randall returning and being the one to mess with the plant!
That makes the scene of him washing himself trying to remove the paint much sadder, given the context, since what we see is a genuine fear of being incriminated because of who his father was.
@@FamilyGirl566 he went back as a MIFTer and jokester again because its all of randall and Johnny's plan to make tylor to betraying monster inc. Tylor now a jokester again and sorries ben and val for everything
He may be Waternoose's bastard son. At least he is funny and not very sus and very enthusiastic and a kind hearted monster who did not wanna following his father's greedy empire
Waternoose: Sullivan never told you what happened to your father Roger Rogers: He told me enough, he told me you killed him Waternoose: No, I am your father
I feel like the red herring aspect makes it better. Rewatching it you feel good knowing he wasn’t some twist villain out to gain peoples trust then laugh at how easy it was, he was just a genuinely nice quirky guy enthusiastic about what the day will bring .
@@alantheartist624I did my research and i can confirm that Simon Pegg did not voice Roger in monsters at work season 2 he was played by a different actor
I really do like Roger a lot! Especially he sounds like David McCormack and I think it is the same actor😭💖 I gotta say, this show is absolutely enjoyable! Season 2 has to be better than season 1 and I hope we get a season 3 since Randall got away and is still out there
Randall being loose in the monster world feels like very clear set up for a season 3. And I have a feeling that would focus on Oozma Kappa, since there was references to them in season 2
Just a speculation here, but he gives me such autistic adhd vibes honestly. The hyperactivity he has the singing the little “ohs” and “Hmms” he makes in the background could be stimming. His special interests could be hardware and the scream machine hence he got so excited. The chewing can be a stim too
@@Weirdboxofchaos x)) it explains so much why he chews metal tho. and also, when he said that hardware was his favorite category, he shook a maraca, which also gave me a hint that he has autism/adhd
@@gfy572 very much so, I’m autistic and adhd myself and I love shaky noises and chewing things! Also the unbridled optimism he has could be a mask so others don’t judge him for being weird because his dad didn’t like him, the potential autism and adhd could’ve been another reason for that
I like how the show subverts him in many ways. I literally thought he was the leak and kind of saddened me if he was cause i like his design and personality, but thankfully he wasn't.
The rogers last name is Possibly from his mother's last name. Henry jr or roger decided to called him roger and the name is now stuck and he is proud of who he is. Roger did not wanna be like his greedy old man who have alienated him.
I’m so glad he’s chill and not at all like his father. He’s definitely my favorite out of everyone

I dig Roger's design. The squid-like features and the blue-green color scheme gave a special touch to his personality.
And it also manages to look similar to his father, but Monsters Inc character design has always been perfect, and Roger’s is another S tier design in every sense.
@Endore5000 His face design kind of reminds me of huggy wuggy from Poppy Playtime only except he has five eyes green fur and no red lips
Also I think one of his eyes doesn’t work. Whenever he closes his eyes his top right corner eye doesn’t close or even blink

I love that one of his eyes isn't focused enough, which only adds to his uniqueness.
I never really knew that Roger was the son of Waternoose until it was revealed. And surprising, I like that he’s nothing like his father
Henry have abandoned him and his ex wife. Henry waternoose the 3rd(senior) have alienated them and avoided them out of their lives.
Roger rogers-waternoose jr is doing his own thing and he kinda wanted to be very enthusiastic or a comedian
I really like Roger, his personality is wonderful and brings so much light into the world. Also i really enjoyed Roger's song about those cheeky leaks. As a sidenote i like his name cause it's fun and i it reminds me of Star Wars
He's simply adorable!!! My favourite character from season 2❤❤❤❤❤
Did anyone else notice that the top eye on his right side didn’t blink
Similarly to his father's middle eye since it seems that it to doesn't copy the other eyes
In season 1, Otis mentioned that his family member’s eye was starting to not work anymore, but she had many eyes so it was ok. I think Roger’s top right eye is a dead eye of some sort, but it blinks independently.
And it doesn’t really “look” at anything.
Roger was definitely a good character. If season 3 does happen and Henry J Waternoose does appear, he should be voiced by Kelsey Grammer since he was originally going to voice him in Monsters Universty. Perhaps he can be like Yokai from Big Hero 6, where he regrets his actions, but still has to face the consequences in jail.
Or monsters inc 2
Henry, randall and even johnny return. Boo. Now 9, she would teaming up. Along with tylor. Ben would also have a role as well since he is tylor's friend.
Then at the end. Roger would become a jokester and do funnier stuff and meet up a kid friend just like boo first met sully.
Henry in my theory. He abandoned roger and then his mom(ex wife)
Henry have alienated them and no longer in their lives. Henry jr decides to called himself as roger and take his mother' last name which is rogers
@@artisticsolarninja Interesting and that’s an interesting theory. I feel Henry should be like Robert Callaghan in Big Hero 6 tv series. Maybe Roger like Luke Skywalker will try to redeem his father by seeing the good in him.
I really hope we get to see more of Roger in Season 3!
I just hope in season 3 (if there will be) Roger Roger will just snap out of anger like joy did in inside out 2
I just realized Roger has one lazy eye
It also blinks independently, I like to think it’s an independent eye that just likes to look in one direction
He also have a British accent
@@sanyaisaflagfan5252 actually I think it’s Australian
@@cjoaquin3274 it is actually New Zealand accent as his VA is from New Zealand
A side effect from his father's abuse?
I feel like Waternoose doesn’t seem to see Roger as his son. He might be wishes Sulley was his son not Roger.
Waternoose definitely seemed to love Sullivan for how great at scaring he was.
I'd love for S3 to focus on Roger, with Waternoose coming back and giving a parent-son drama to the story
@@skips_51 or monsters inc 2
@@skips_51 roger would one day meeting up a kid human friend and then roger acted like the next sully and proud of who he is and he wishes to be a comedian and a jokester
Rogers Rogers Is My Favorite Monsters At Work S2 Character
Mine too, love him!
His real Name Is Henry J Waternoose IV
The thumbnail is just amazing
I love his design and reminds me of a relative I once had.
God, I love Rhys Darby
18:45 awww his sweet little monster heart went poof. I wanna give him a big hug
Which heart? He did say he had two lol
@@carwynscornerhopefully just one
I didn’t know Rogers was really a waternoose but he doesn’t look like him because his dad’s a crab while he looks like an octopus of some sort unless it comes from his mom.
Waternoose is a spider
And it most likely comes from her mom
Her? Did you mean his?
@@joshcoy6748 yes
@@anthonytheyelmet9636 I see.
Roger has many eyes and legs like his dad, while I believe his fuzzy fur comes from his mom, but monster genetics are crazy random mostly.
I was pretty surprised when I find out that he was Waternoose son.
Same
I didn't know he even had his own kids, so he may have been grooming a successor from one of his scarers (sully and randall were the best).
I was truly not expecting it.
Same here
Same
He was a pretty solid red herring character.
Right? I was having a hard time believing it and not believing it because it felt too obvious.
Same I thought he was the spy but thought it was too obvious in episode 8.
He really was, I almost thought that the fact he wasn’t the saboteur could have been a trick for a moment.
@@Endore5000 Was the red spray paint ever explained?
@@brianachim2670 I have to rewatch that episode, but I can only assume that he was merely trying to clean the graffiti up when he saw it as quickly as possible for the sake of it, not because he was trying to cover his tracks, but to be very helpful for Monsters Inc so they wouldn’t look bad for the media and thus got messy.
Instantly in love!!!!
He’s such a lovable monster.
Taylor: It was Henry waternoose!
all (gasp)😧
Taylor: oh no no no no no no not the not the one in prison
🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆
Taylor Made laugh with that one
I feel like Roger was the best character, but I hate the fact how they do make him feel like a villain, I hope he comes back
If there’s a season 3, he will come back, he’s a MIFTer after all!
I haven’t seen season 2 yet but I love Roger now
Yes I suspected him the whole time, especially with the spray paint when he was covered in it and I even said aloud, “He cant clean it, they got him this time!” But boy was I amazingly surprised! Hes an all around good goof! I never suspected Randall returning and being the one to mess with the plant!
Randall returned being a menace yet again!
That makes the scene of him washing himself trying to remove the paint much sadder, given the context, since what we see is a genuine fear of being incriminated because of who his father was.
Rodger may be cancelled in the monster world, but he accepted here in the human world.
Is that Rhys Darby?
…IT IS!
notice MIFT's number of eyes
Fritz: 1
Val: 2
Cutter: 3
Duncan: 4
Roger: 5
You should have said Tyler and val
@@JuJu-bq9uq he's not a MIFTer anymore he's a jokester
@@FamilyGirl566 he went back as a MIFTer and jokester again because its all of randall and Johnny's plan to make tylor to betraying monster inc. Tylor now a jokester again and sorries ben and val for everything
Protect Rogers!
Roger Rogers is the best character.😍
He may be Waternoose's bastard son. At least he is funny and not very sus and very enthusiastic and a kind hearted monster who did not wanna following his father's greedy empire
“Now they’re laughing at you!”
Mike takes a bow.
The voice of Rhys Darby
Fantastic voice
Waternoose: Sullivan never told you what happened to your father
Roger Rogers: He told me enough, he told me you killed him
Waternoose: No, I am your father
What about he mom
@@KeiraCollier-j7g Maybe she died of depression because she had to wear glasses and bullies would call her "10-eyes"
Why would Henry j waternoose tell roger roger about he fake dad
@@KeiraCollier-j7g Well he never said that Sullivan was his dad
Why did his mom married his dad in the first place
He my new favourite monsters inc character
Has anyone noticed that his upper right eye is not active? It doesn't blink and seems almost like it’s loose.
It actually does blink, just independently.
Who would expect that new character is the son of waternoose
Henry probably had like a few other children besides henry roger rogers-waternoose jr.
Roger Rogers is huggy wuggy
I feel like the red herring aspect makes it better.
Rewatching it you feel good knowing he wasn’t some twist villain out to gain peoples trust then laugh at how easy it was, he was just a genuinely nice quirky guy enthusiastic about what the day will bring .
Luv Rhys Darby! Roger Rogers rocks!
My favorite new character on monsters at work
Thank you youtube recommendations
For spoiling the biggest twist in season 2
No joke
They showed me the biggest twist in a thumbnail
And a day before it started streaming, many promos showed the big twist of season 2 for some reason.
@@Endore5000 i feel like that's Disney's fault
Never show a big twist in a promo
Then people won't watch on streaming
One physical detail I adore of Roger's character design is that he has a lazy eye. I find it adorable.
I’m confused that Roger sounds like Buck from Ice Age.
He’s played by a different actor.
I don’t hear it in the voice sound but maybe the way of speaking.
@@alantheartist624I did my research and i can confirm that Simon Pegg did not voice Roger in monsters at work season 2 he was played by a different actor
He sounds like the actor from Bluey
@@JulianNevolic yeah that’s what I said…
I almost wanna know what Waternoose thinks of Laugh power
Waternoose probably wouldn’t mind it personally, but likely would have been against it if he thought it could ruin Monsters Incorporated’s reputation.
@Endore5000 but wasn't the fearco incident already messing with their reputation though?
20:11 I can almost see it, but at least he’s not like his father
He does look similar, has the same eyes and multiple legs. Probably got his colorful features from his mother.
I really do like Roger a lot! Especially he sounds like David McCormack and I think it is the same actor😭💖
I gotta say, this show is absolutely enjoyable! Season 2 has to be better than season 1 and I hope we get a season 3 since Randall got away and is still out there
Randall being loose in the monster world feels like very clear set up for a season 3. And I have a feeling that would focus on Oozma Kappa, since there was references to them in season 2
@@Endore5000
And we have yet to see the other scare energy companies in action
Just FEAR CO and MONSTERS INC
He’s voiced by Rhys Darby! One of my comfort actors. He played Nigel in Jumanji!
@@ZeppelinPietrPryor Ohhh yea I can hear it now!
Rogers Roger reminds me of Huggy Wuggy. He has that look & vibe but less menacing & creepy
Can’t wait to see him again in season 3
Or sequel movie
Monsters inc 2?
Honestly I thought Roger was the bad guy due to the fact that he's the son Monsters Inc's former CEO.
I feel bad for him in a way. He changed his name because what his father did.
It’s for the same reason people whose last name was Hitler changed THEIR surnames, even if they weren’t related to Adolf Hitler.
That’s why he wanted to not be associated with Waternoose.
The company has been under waternoose control since Roger's great grandad.
Just a speculation here, but he gives me such autistic adhd vibes honestly. The hyperactivity he has the singing the little “ohs” and “Hmms” he makes in the background could be stimming. His special interests could be hardware and the scream machine hence he got so excited. The chewing can be a stim too
ikk!! i thought the same thing
@@gfy572 yessss someone agrees!
@@Weirdboxofchaos x)) it explains so much why he chews metal tho. and also, when he said that hardware was his favorite category, he shook a maraca, which also gave me a hint that he has autism/adhd
@@gfy572 very much so, I’m autistic and adhd myself and I love shaky noises and chewing things! Also the unbridled optimism he has could be a mask so others don’t judge him for being weird because his dad didn’t like him, the potential autism and adhd could’ve been another reason for that
@@Weirdboxofchaos gotcha, i also have autism. it kinda also explains why he’s happy all/most of the time. i love him so much
I attempt i thought that he was acting suspicious 🤔 too like he was the one making the leaks but now i own the guy an apology 😢
Roger deserves an apology and the world!
I drew him for my mum XD
I feel bad for ever thinking it was him who was trynna sabotage the factory
I like how the show subverts him in many ways.
I literally thought he was the leak and kind of saddened me if he was cause i like his design and personality, but thankfully he wasn't.
We love wholesome sweet characters that aren’t secretly bad!
Oh JOY, now we can add deadbeat to Henry's list of sins!
Henry J. “Roger Rogers” Waternoose IV
The rogers last name is Possibly from his mother's last name.
Henry jr or roger decided to called him roger and the name is now stuck and he is proud of who he is.
Roger did not wanna be like his greedy old man who have alienated him.
I just finished watching season 2 and already I loved Roger. Plus his design (mostly his head) gives me Huggy Wuggy vibes. Which I love. ❤
I kinda like the character Roger
