The corpse of Harry Potter that’s slowly coming back to life
Oh wait, that movie exists already
A dakimakura, AKA a body pillow. Needs an anime character on it, obviously.
Of coure the large breasted, scarcely dressed waifu of questionable age shall still be referred to as “Wilson”
couch cushion
This is inexplicably the best answer yet. Everyone else is working so hard to think outside the box that the box is inside-out.
Plus, now you can include a love scene.
I have absolutely zero interest in making this movie political.
The biggest, most monstrous dildo you can find.
He never uses it. Just befriends it and talks to it like in the original. Just leave the possibility hanging there.
Latex fist.
And instead of Wilson, it can be called Doc, or Dr Johnson. (Having a name like bad dragon seems a stretch, maybe baddra?)
Magic 8-Ball
This time Wilson can kinda sorta actually talk back.
Oh wow look at what the tides have swept ashore. A Pringles can, some rubber gloves and a few sponges.
An MRE. When supplies dwindle, our protagonist is faced with a tragic choice.
Wouldn’t the object need to be something of deep importance to the individual or be a poetic representation? I always assumed the volleyball was a symbol of everything he left behind. Things like recreation no longer mattered; only survival. :shrug: but I also thought the movie sounded incredibly boring. If you want a random item, go for qualities like “awkward to carry” or “gets hot when left in the sun”. Give your characters personality or force them to choose that object at a moment it’s inconvenient.
- An oversized diamond/ faberge egg - it’s valuable, heavy or fragile and inconvenient, in a critical moment your character may need to smash it against something risking damage
- Teddy Roxbury/furby - favorite toy growing up? Creepy voice at stalking moments? Mid point twist when the batteries die?
- Harmonica - potentially a little Disney princess forest friend vibes
- Bowling ball - Wilson prolly plays a little different when it’s not feasible to take him on a raft, prevents you from climbing trees and burns precious calories transporting. Mobility is now a plot point. Decent weapon tho
- Toilet plunger/brush - everyday object that can be utilized differently, maybe adds that little bit extra reach to save the day?
A 1ft tungston cube
After a month of deliberation, I have settled on a beanbag chair. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, they were quite inspiring.
A fleshlight.
A tennis ball.
A coconut. Those who know, will know. Those who don’t, may their innocence last forever.
Grandma “So that’s what a coconut is used for.”
“I’ve been doing it wrong all these years”
Grandma is doing a goatse.
a super valuable in-the-original packaging giant boba fett action figure, he’s tormented by keeping it mint in case he ever gets back, somehow the rocket launcher ends up saving his life.
Can I just suggest that to mix things up a bit, this one should be set on a peninsula.
