even pirating feels like torture. i mean.... The non-stop Laugh Track! it's like they gave the button to a monkey and made him slap it every time a human spoke!
Why did she get fairy godparents despite her being pretty well off? Well, that's new Hollywood. You can't make certain groups look weak to enforce " the message".
One simple change that would fix Vicky is that she doesn’t love Crocker but rather idolizes him because of how infamous of a teacher he was for causing misery to his students.
Not only that, Denzel Crocker should tell Vicky about the existence of fairy godparent and what they do. If Denzel reveals the existence of fairies to Vicky, she might get her revenge on Timmy's cousin for having Timmy used fairies against her.
@@michaelsarmiento3057 I think that was mentioned in another video about this show. If it had been a twist where Vicky had found out about the existence of fairies and connected the dots as to why Timmy always seemed to win, and that HE had fairies, could lead to her and Crocker both having that same hatred of Cosmo, Wanda & Timmy. Cosmo & Wanda for “abandoning” Crocker as a child, and Timmy for “terrorizing”(read as. Defending himself against) Vicky.
How fucking old is Vicky again? I think in Channel Chasers they say she's 16 but does she age after that? And crocker is atleast in his 40s no doubt... that's gross
@@TygR3 I mean, the age gap is gross and I'm not saying she should be romantically into crocker but Vicky was at least 5 years older than Timmy who is shown to be at least 25 in this show. She's fully an adult.
@@clownrat5759 If Francis was in Fairly Odder, I imagine Francis to team up with Vicky to get revenge on Timmy. Also, like Vicky, Francis learns the existence of Fairies and why he keeps winning against him.
It will always be absolutely _hilarious_ to me that Sparky was so hated they literally just _pretended he never existed._ He just _vanished_ and _no one_ ever brings it up. It's absolutely _hysterical._
@@ivanalves8506 lol have mercy on those prison guards' souls. They'll be haunted by front-forward Crocker for the rest of their lives.🥺 Much like myself.
I will never forget the most tragically hilarious thing about Sparky: His backstory being that he was constantly being dumped back into the pet store by hundreds of owners, and almost went back at the end of the episode, like it was some big deal. Then, at some point, Nick just shipped him back themselves.
@@samuraiturtle.2637 they really wanted to pull a spongebob, and now look at em, a new wish did the brigging back old concepts better than spongebob will ever do
The fact that shes more tolerable than Chloe, shows me how bad Chloe was. I would have taken Vivian as the beter version of her over Chloe Mary-Sue Charmichael.
The "Passing of the torch" was SUCH a missed opportunity. Imagine what an insult it would have been if at the end of Toy Story 3 Andy takes his box of toys, sees some random kid on the street, dumps them at his feet and says, "Eh, there yours now bucko! See ya!" end of film.
They could've done a prequel series about Crocker as a child. They could do an adult version like iCarly. They could do one about Trixie having fairies. There's actually a lot of ways you can expand on the original series.
@@chrisbrasel8060 dude, same. I made a comment about that yesterday. Why they portray Crocker in a face-toward-the-audience view is beyond me. Some cartoon characters only look in specific perspectives.
The fact "boo you guys, I'm going home" is in the final script, especially delivered that way, really shows there was no attempt at quality control as this went on.
What’s even worse is that they kinda censored it from the original line in South Park as if kids had to be protected from the phrase “Screw you guys, I’m going home”
Imagine if the series was about Vivian being a normal girl seeing all the crazy shit in Dimsdale, and suddenly freaking out. Hard freaking out, refusing to leave her room because one of her teachers is obsessed with faries, another seems to constantly be in a state of mildly orgasmic sadistic glee, and there's *some weird-ass texan with a giant hat* running around. She basically quickly spirals down into a pit of homesickness and despair, knowing that she's trapped in this asylum of a town with nobody to reach out to. Her parents are loving it, and her brother is wrapped up in his own antics so that he doesn't think "it's *THAT* weird, right?". She's completely isolated. Then she gets Cosmo and Wanda somehow and over the course of the series she starts to acclimate, becoming as zanny as everyone else. First it's through backfiring wishes to try and make everyone else more "normal" that result in her needing to bend her own rigid worldview to the flow around her Later on it becomes more about trying to change herself in ways she thinks will help, only to realize that it's important to stay true to herself in some regard. Basically it's a story of a somewhat prudish girl learning to come out of her shell, but with magic. Or something. I'm not a writer, I'm just some guy on the internet.
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide did a better job of portraying Cosmo and Wanda in live-action with animation than the live-action movies and fairly odder ever have done.
I think the issue is they couldn't show the new kids being too miserable. You can show babysitters chase kids with chainsaws in a cartoon but in live-action that would be scary.
Counterexample. The Netflix Seires of Unfortunate Events did a GREAT job making the Baudelaire's lives miserable in ways that didn't feel uncomfortable.
Whenever a great cartoon ends too early, Like Invader Zim or Chowder did, I always remember that it's better for shows like that to end young and on a high note instead of being milked to death like this series was. This whole franchise has become a physical manifestation of "How do you do fellow kids?"
And they didn't bring back Jimmy Neutron! Come on, Nickelodeon... You could've given Jimmy's founding fathers Steve Oedekirk and John A. Davis, as well as the voice of Hugh, Mark DeCarlo some respect.
“I’m just too nice” and “people like me too much” aren’t character flaws, they’re wish fulfillment. Ironically that’s exactly the opposite of what a show about wish fulfillment needed.
When the show about satirical wish fulfillment collapses to the point where they make another show ironically promoting wish fulfillment, it needed to die like a decade ago.
You forgot one thing. Tootie wasn't the only person Timmy lent his fairies to. In the Jimmy Neutron crossover, he willingly gave them to Libby, Carl, and Sheen.
So, theres rumors going around all the animation was done by ONE person on a time crunch, and if that is the case? Honestly im impressed they did a pretty good job all things considered lmao
Yeah, but I think that's the problem. A professional production should not rely on a single individual to do something as hard and time-consuming as animation, especially when you're trying to blend it into live action. And animation is expensive and this show clearly has budget issues.
A more interesting premise for this show would have been if it followed Timmy's kids who were seen at the end of Channel Chasers. I mean, think about it: Timmy became a loving but somewhat oblivious parent. He knows something is off about the Vicky Robot but can't put his finger on it because he had much of his memory wiped after losing his God Parents. As a result, he unintentionally puts his children in danger and causes them misery. Soooo, Cosmo and Wanda get assigned to be the God Parents of Timmy's kids (Which was CLEARLY the case given the ending of the movie) and they can help him raise his children while also coaching him to be a better parent than his parents ever were from the sidelines. We'd get to have Timmy in the show and expand on his character in adulthood, we'd get to know some newer characters who were already introduced to us and are at least somewhat miserable, and overall the whole show would make more sense.
I absolutely agree. And it should of been spin-offs or a Daria type show focusing on characters like trixie tang with more development. And also maybe a sequel show with older Timmy in high school. Etc
Roy's character would've worked if he used his energetic and always happy nature as a facade to cover up how miserable he was, and being self centered would be his way of self reassurance, this could've been interesting to explore, especially given he's a kid and for a kid. But given this show they wouldn't explore that. They could even go with the popularity thing being all a lie and everyone pretends to like him for whatever reason. Also a Fish out of Water story (while very typical) could've worked in this type of show if Vivian was actually miserable too. What worked about Cosmo, Wanda and Timmy in Seasons 1-5 was the family dynamic. They were suppose to be the family he desired to help make his life better and the wishes just came with it. Plus whenever Timmy made a wish Wanda would read out the rules to make sure that Timmy knew the rules of the wishes he made, some were debatable. But his implusive and selfish nature naturally had him live out the consequences of said rules until he decided how important the rules were.
Fun fact! Actually, the opposite of fun. More like a sad fact! I got so annoyed by the amount of laugh tracks when watching ep1 of Fairly Odder, that I went back and tallied up just how many laugh tracks I heard. In the approx *24 min 10 second* runtime... I counted at least *220* instances of laugh tracks! That's around at least 30% of the episode! Jesus!
@@quirkhopper404 I so wish I was kidding. I even googled a Tally counter site to use and spent the whole episode clicking it whenever a laugh track happened. It racked up so quickly. I can't even bear to count any more episodes, this first one was so fuckin bad
@@tesladon193 oh trust me, the Johnny test whip crack has nothing on this. At least the whip crack is short, even if it appears multiple times. But laugh tracks are at least a few seconds if not longer. And nearly constant through this episode. Every other time someone said or did something, "funny" or not, laugh track. I wanna meet whoever planned the laugh tracks for this show and just ask "Why."
So, basically Vivian is just a less obnoxious, more bland, live-action Chloe (a "Chlone", if you will), and Roy's just a clone of every bratty, mischievous protagonist ever in these kidcoms with little to nothing redeeming about them, aka terrible. All on a budgetless, pop culture-laden non-show made to maybe entertain the few tweens that might watch it and no one else. Got it. Reviews like this certainly sate my curiosity so I don't have to waste time on Paramount Plus.
To quote Mr. Enter in the #3 entry of his Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 1980s, "This shirt is what happens when you do not care!" Nick just wanted to make a live-action Fairly OddParents series for Paramount+ with no thought whatsoever put into how Timmy passing down his fairies to a younger kid would violate the rules and lore of The Fairly OddParents, not just because we never heard of a Fairy Permission Scroll before that allowed somebody who outgrew their fairies to choose which new kid gets to have them, but mainly because nobody writing this new show put any thought into Vivian as a character, what she is like as a person, and what makes her miserable. She just doesn't need her fairy godparents for anything most of the time, which makes this premise for a live-action animation hybrid sitcom an even bigger waste of potential than Imaginary Mary. April 15, 2022, 3:50pm
Can't wait for them to get their hands on a certain Boy Genius and then make this and that show cross over for old times sake... Or maybe a certain ghost boy... Also, a live-action SpongeBob is a prospect I imagine with morbid fascination.
@@HighLifeProds17 they did that in the birthday blowout episode and it was alright. couldn't see it working as an entire series though lmao that would be torture
The whole "Timmy Turner's Life being a constant state of torture-Thing" was the whole point of the show and what made it so great and provided a believable (world building) explanation for why he had fairy godparents.
I once thought of a sequel series to FOP that'd be like Daria where we found out Trixie has fairies. She could have a pretty bad home life justifying her fairies. It'd be a much more dramatic, teen-oriented series. It was at least a creative idea.
I actually had similar ideas as a teen as well. I think it’s a good idea. That’s what they should of done. Do the fleshing out in the reboot that the original show could of and should of done.
Agreed. I actually liked trixie because of the boy who would be queen episode and had an alternate countunity where the characters got more fleshed out like in molly McGee as opposed to flanderized. I love your idea and I think that is something nick animation should do
I hate when people argue "it wasn't made for you" when they drop references and characters new fans wouldn't know and try to explain how they got from then to now, as if they know older fans are there. Besides, the point of a reboot is to reunite old fanbases and, if they claim they want a new one, they wouldn't have made a reboot if it's not for them. Then, even as it's own show, it usually sucks. Case and point...
That's why I'm like, "Why didn't they make the references tie into the fact that Cosmo and Wanda are time-displaced and their magic warps Dimmsdale?! That would have at least been clever and explained the South Park reference."
I feel like it would of been so so so easy to make Vivian miserable but in different ways than Timmy, ways that might be unique to her experiences as a teenage girl -Make her step brother just a normal kid who doesn’t have the fairy god parents but he’s still perfect and a local town legend which makes Vivian feel inferior all the time, especially if he’s still a jerk to her all the time. -Her dad cares a lot more about her new step mother and step brother than her, he doesn’t care about her interests and always wanted a son. -Make her at least a little unattractive and make her very insecure about it, even if it’s the bare minimum of giving her glasses and a pony tail it would still work better. -She’s picked on by almost everybody including that mean girl popular bully, the main reason everyone hates her is because she’s so serious and isn’t in tune with all the other Dimmsdale weirdness, they make fun of her for just not understanding how things work because she’s not from around here. -Instead of having bad grades she could want to be an actor so she joins drama club, but her teacher just hates her so she never gives her any good parts, she’s often just a tree. (Bonus point if her mean popular bully is the teachers favorite, you could even still use Vicky if you want.) Maybe you could even include more FOP characters as adults to really flesh out the town more (some of them could even have kids of their own to be vivian’s class mates! Maybe Trixie tang had a son that she has a crush on!), I’m not sure how her connection to Timmy could be improved, maybe she’s still his cousin but instead of giving Wanda and Cosmo away to her, Wanda and cosmo miss Timmy so much that they chose to help Vivian because she reminds them of him. You could even have Timmy come and visit from time to time for extra drama. when weird stuff happens he can mumble about how it all seems oddly familiar but he just can’t put his finger on it cause his memory is wiped, maybe Vivian and Timmy don’t have a very good relationship but Wanda and cosmo fix it by telling her stories about when he was a kid (insert episode references here). I feel like this premise was kinda wasted an could of been massively improved on :(.
This is really sad and infuriating at the same time, that Nick is losing those Paramount+ subscriptions by hiring the cheapest writers imaginable who just go through the motions and do nothing to make us feel for the new main characters. You got to spend a little more money than that to make money!
Wow. It’s genuinely funny how many good ideas for shows you can get from a random TH-cam comment, and yet ppl r paid to make shows and they can’t do it
I agree, like if Vivian was basically treated like a pariah by almost everyone for being the new girl, have her home life be pretty shit on the whole by having the parents value her new step-brother over her, and just generally being kind of a loser.
Not only that, I would like to see Ty Turner's connection to Pappy Turner from the FOP episode "Good Ole Days." Pappy Turner is Timmy's dad's father who likes watching old cartoons from 1930s. Not only that, Ty Turner is Timmy's dad's brother. If so, what does Ty Turner think of Sheldon Dinkleberg.
What I’ve always hated was how after season 5, pretty much every side character was banished to the shadow realm, never to be seen again. Where are Chester and AJ, his best friends? Where are Tootie and Trixie Tang, the love interests (and Veronica to some extent). Hell, where are the bullies Francis, Chad, Tad and his other friends Elmer and Sanjay? Or Remy Buxaplenty, who was his polar opposite and his fairy, Juandissimo?! The world became so boring once I noticed the sudden lack of unique, diverse recurring characters. Arguably the best episodes were the ones that showed how selfless Timmy was for his friends! But nope. Let’s replace them with bland, gimmicky characters who had zero relatability or charm. Edit: I wrote this before watching the video. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed.
I wholeheartedly agree because the earlier seasons were filled with tons of laughter, life lessons, and wholesomeness that I really loved as a kid and it sucks to see the show getting worse (to me everything after Poof’s season is when I stopped watching).
19:56 just wanted to add to your point that Vicky would never believe in the fairies, in the theme song for the og show at the end Vicky literally says "yeah right" as to show that she doesn't believe in that sort of thing.
I found it hilarious Vicky was obsessed with fairy god parents, yet at the end of every into, she says “Yeah right”! Implying she doesn’t even believe everything
The dumb part is Timmy didn't even need to give Cosmo and Wanda away, Jorgan could have taken them and send them to Timmy cousin or preferably adifferent set of kids in the town. It wasn't like Timmy is in the show for that long anyway. And the growing to old for his fairies is the perfect setup for the the fairies go meet the new cast. If they wanted to use Timmy in the future, they could say Jorgan let him keep his memories as a nice final give.
This series really begs the question: if they didn't have the money (or didn't want to invest the money) to make a good final product, why make it in the first place?
I don't even think it was for a profit since the last live action adaptations flopped hard I think it's a contract thing between Nickelodeon and Paramount to fill in empty space with ANY content on their failing streaming service, it's just cheap filler like packing peanuts
I might be wrong here, but sometimes companies churn out stuff like reboots to hold onto the IP. Part of copyright law, if I remember right, is that you have to pay a fee and/or use said IP in a timeframe or else you lose it.
My head cannon for poof not being in the show is that he probably has his own Godchild now but what doesn’t make any sense is why Cosmo and Wanda don’t bring him up once
my head cannon is that Crocker has Cosmo and Wanda trapped in a dream like state and all of this is happening in their heads. Meanwhile real poof and Timmy are outside trying to rescue them.
You’re idea about having the godparents be for Timmy’s child could be so good if done correctly. They could’ve still had Timmy’s memory wiped, but have the first episode be about him discovering his kids have fairies, and specifically cosmo and Wanda. Seeing them again after sharing so many good memories could reawaken his memories about them. Jorgan, sharing a special fondness for Timmy based on his past experiences, would simply look the other way, but give Timmy the condition that he’s not allowed to let his kids find out that he knows, and he’s not allowed to have his wishes granted. Timmy could grapple with the fact that he knows he’s doing what his parents did with Vicky and causing his own children misery, but changing things would cause cosmo and Wanda to disappear. You could have whole episodes dedicated to timmy, and other episodes dedicated to his kids, meaning old fans looking for more mature themes could only watch the timmy episodes, and the kids could watch the other kids.
Okay, so you know how Cosmo and Wanda used to pop up as objects to keep an eye on Timmy throughout the days, where they weren't "supposed to" be seen? They arguably could've done that. It would've been horrible, considering everything, but it would've been an attempt to keep Cosmo and Wanda there in the show and be guides for the kids.
I genuinely feel bad for every actor in this, even the ones that aren't that good. They all look like they're giving it their all, so even the bad performances at least have a lot of energy and effort put into them. It's just sad all that energy is wasted on this.
I’m kind of annoyed on how the show decided to completely ignore poof, Sparky and Chloe‘s existence’s. Don’t get me wrong I hate them as much as the next guy but even so it would’ve been kind of cool to see what happened to them. Also I think Timmy shouldn’t have been in the show at all. It would’ve been cooler if we just saw Cosmo and Wanda taking care of another godchild that had nothing to do with Timmy
yeah when I first saw vivian I thought she was an older chloe. the ideas of the later seasons weren't doomed on arrival, the executions were just not good. sparky literally returned to his home planet, they wrote him out of the original after 1 season w/ no in-universe explanation. It could've been nice having an older poof. (edit: but ig according to the drake bell movies he'd still be a baby since fairies rlly do age that slow) And if they wanted to keep things connected to Timmy, they could at least give a brief explanation that--unlike Timmy--Chloe outgrew the fairies, got her memory wiped and maybe could be a side character in the series or say she moved away afterward if u don't wanna include her. Better to at least handwave than pretend these characters never existed, esp when they started the show w/ a recap of the original where they easily could've explained these things
@@tiablue9106 exactly. Seeing an older poof with his own God child could’ve been interesting but they don’t even acknowledge his existence. Sparky could’ve just gotten rich gambling and is now partying in fairy world (I know that seems random but if you know Sparkys character that is totally something he would do). And I completely agree on your idea for what they could’ve done with Chloe. This reboot didn’t have to be horrible. Making it a live action series was a horrible decision but I do think it could have been at the very least a decent but unfortunately that was not the case
I don’t sparky was really bad. Aside from his debut episode, he never came off as obnoxious and was constantly loyal to Timmy like any dog would to their owner. But He’d be better if he was just a side character
@@Smith-fg1qb I agree. He could be a little annoying sometimes but most of the time he wasn’t that bad. If I was a writer for the show instead of completely writing him out in season 10 I would’ve just had him become a side character like you said
Fun fact Chloe was actually added on purpose to tank the ratings of the show. The creator didn’t wanna keep doing the show so he made it bad in purpose so the network could cancel it
The odd part is Viv could have been like Hazel, seeming more normal but her misery is underneath the surface. Moving to a new place, self isolation, having a brother who always steals the spotlight from her, a step mom who always negs and belittles her in subtle ways and a father that turns a blind eye to all of it sounds devastating. I think the problem is that unlike Hazel, whose anxiety and overthinking were always explored, the show just presents theses ideas but never really explores them, making it seem like it doesn’t effect her at all.
"Oh no, the horrors of being an upper middle class, good-looking slightly unpopular white girl!" This is literally tall girl but worse bc Vivian doesn't even get target bullied-
I grew up with the Fairy Odd Parents, as in I'm almost 30, I remember when it first aired and I remember my entire class falling in love with the series. And honestly, I think in retrospect, we all had this unspoken agreement the series ended with the Channel Chasers. That is how the series ended, and we all moved to our teenage years and forgot about it. Then my little brother started watching Nickalodian, and me and my sister both were amazed Fairy Odd Parents was still going.... for some reason. And it wasn't till like last year I learned the series had finally ended after getting silently canceled cause God forbid a series not be forced to be an endlessly exploitable show like Sponge Bob, and by hook or crook they'll force it along till the series dies. So kinda like EA honestly.
@@adampkalb No, it ended with Channel Chasers. Timmy's got two happy children who don't need Fairy God Parents, I'm pretty sure he's married to Toody, and he's successful at his job.
@@naterivers6107 But the problem is, I don’t even see Tootie marrying Timmy in the episode. The only thing we saw of Tootie was her trying to sever ties with her bad sister and that’s it. I don’t understand why fans think that. Plus, saying Channel Chasers should have ended the show is the equivalent of saying Really Loud Music should have ended The Loud House.
Absolutely hilarious that not only did this not get a 2nd season, but Paramount literally REMOVED IT from Paramount+ around the time the actually decent looking animated reboot was leaked. Fairly Odder legitimately has a chance at becoming lost media(if no DVDs are made, which I don’t there will be) and that is just fucking comedy gold.
We are truly past the era of sound stage sitcoms. The difference in artistic integrity between those first 5 seasons and this sitcom is giving me whiplash.
that's such a stupid reason to keep her in. She wouldnt WANT to be a teacher. Thats the most out of character thing possible. She cant openly abuse them as much as she did Timmy
I actually liked the show until season 10. Poof was a decent addition that was cute (Quickside tangent but what the fuck did they do to poofs voice in season 10? Like would it have been been so hard to get Tara strong voice him again). I actually didn’t mind sparky (and then the writers just got rid of him the very next season without any in universe explanation despite how easy it would’ve been to make an excuse for his absence). Season 10 though…… that is when the show became truly awful in my opinion. I just like everyone else hate Chloe. And because they completely wrote out Sparky from the show and poof only appears in one episode of the season Chloe gets almost all the attention. By season 10 there’s not even any continuity anymore and all of the characters are just shells of their former selves. And after 10 seasons the show doesn’t even get A proper series finale! Are you kidding me! No instead we get a horrible sequel series…. Thanks Nick….
Tara was still voicing him in season 10. The issue is they ran out of ideas and didn't know what to do with him. They should have played up his genius baby traits like Maggie Simpson. The joke being he can't talk yet he can do all these things a baby shouldn't do. Stuff like thanks for doing our taxes Poof.
@@icecreamhero2375 poof was not voiced by Tara in season 10. He was voiced by three people actually and none of them were her. Poof only was in one episode and of that season and this is what he sounded like for the entire episode th-cam.com/video/qfGQDE3ogsQ/w-d-xo.html It’s horrible. He’s just a reference machine
I honestly didn't mind poof tbh, it allowed for a lot more stories to exist and added a sense of passing time to the show. it also allowed for more magical mishaps to happen other than the two fairly generic and overused (by that point at least) ideas of cosmo being stupid/Timmy making poorly thought out wish. beyond poof, I don't really see why they added more characters instead of slightly expanding on the pre-existing ones, as quite a few of them could have been fleshed out a lot more in terms of personality and hobbies.
Yeah. The show started to go downhill shortly after Season 7 started until it drowned in Seasons 9 and 10. Many people badmouth Season 6 for no reason yet hardly give examples or details as to why. It’s just straight up nitpicks. Season 6’s quality is the same as SpongeBob’s Season 4 while Seasons 7 and 8 are the same as SpongeBob’s Seasons 5.
@@hermos3602 You assume Butch is the kind of person to give up when he flops He just goes "Hmmm people are uncultured and CLEARLY cant see greatness so ill try aoemthing else" and keeps oding his same shit and never change
SpongeBob and fairly oddparents are what happen when a good thing gets milked to oblivion by greedy exects. Clearly there is no passion unless passion for money counts… which it does not.
That's one of the reasons that I'm personally worried about this Avatar Studios stuff and these tonnes of different ATLA projects they're working on. It feels like they realised that Avatar has grown immeasurably popular in the last decade so they're now gonna milk it for all it's worth
I feel like they could have tried to hone in on the fact that she was the straight man, living in a town where everyone's "crazy", feeling outcasted, isolated, and like she's slowly losing her mind, with the fairies the only people she feels she can actually talk to, or who can understand her.
To take the cat out of the bag, this show was made to be so cheap, that there are some problems which I can list down here: Plotholes throughout. In fact, Vivian and as I like to call him the "Let's go!" kid don't have miserable lives like Timmy. They have saccharine-ass lives without any abusive parents. The monster costume during a film set was a Godzilla inflatable suit the creators bought from a nearby Party City. On the subject of the animated segments(and to a lesser extent, Cosmo and Wanda), they look worse than the flash animation used for the final 13 episodes of Fairly Oddparents. It looks like an NFT cartoon, and feels more stilted than the last! Little to no mention of Poof, Foop, Sparky, Chloe, Trixie, Tootie, Chester, AJ, Sanjay, Elmer, Frankie, Crimson Chin, Catman, Negachin, Juandissimo, Tooth Fairy, April Fool, Cupid, Dr. Rip Studwell, Principal Waxoplax, Binky, Mama Cosma, etc; nor Timmy's kids Tammy and Tommy. The humor: bland, unfunny, stale as dried toothpaste, and jokes that pander toward kids of the modern generation. Mentions of theater musicals(as a theater fanatic myself, I find them to come out of nowhere, and didn't laugh once), Tiktok, yelling YOLO and flossing, pop culture references, Absolutely disgusting! They got Butch Hartman back to work on this despite his actions after leaving Nickelodeon having major consequences. Sure, Butch isn't a creep like John K, Chris Savino, and Dan Schneider, but he's a complete scumbag every which way. Let alone have they said no to bring back Jimmy Neutron so it can be faithful to the source material(in a similar case to KND), but continued to ruin the Fairly Oddparents since it's already a zombie franchise!
I think the thing I find hilarious is how you can’t find scenes posted for the show online. That would mean either paramount is really that hard ass over protecting a show no one is watching, or that no one is bothering to post up scenes. Either way, kind of a shame to see how FOP has been treated as of late. You would think they would have gotten as much love and focus as SpongeBob, but it’s clear that outside of the sponge, paramount doesn’t have much to work with.
My friends. What we have here is a case of 'Mary Sue Main Character' Aka: The main character of the show is not allowed to have any problems at all and the only people to dislike then are the bad guys. So they get no trouble at all and get all the amazing stuff despite it. The difference between this and a normal Mary Sue is that Mary Sue's are usually added later and outshine the main character. Long story short: This show was just someone's fanfiction
You know I legit think it’d be fun to have a Fairly OddParents spinoff where it’s an anthology series where focus is placed on the kids with other fairies along with the occasional episode starring Cosmo and Wanda with one of the kids they had before Timmy. You could call it Fairly Odd Anthology Heck imagine if the impossible happened where they did a crossover episode like having Butters or Kenny from South Park get fairies.
@@moomooold there's nothing wrong with that. Shows make references and crossovers all the time to gain likeability and other audiences. Though a show should never be entirely based off of a random crossover because then it wouldn't really make sense
I stopped watching FOP a little before they introduced the fairy dog, and I've heard it's gotten far worse since. I guess what I've heard is true, seeing this video.
2:39 I mean Crocker, being an unhinged villain character, does seem like a fun character to play so it would make sense that the guy who played him leaned into that. Even some of the darker portrayals of The Joker that miss the entire point of him being a clown have decent performances put into them. (Leto was unhinged to begin with so it's not saying much in his case)
As someone who wants to make animated films, instead of making a sequel series taking place in the future, I would make a great big epic finale for the original series. The story would begin with a retelling of the story "Boots and his Brothers". This would present a world where humans and fairies use to coexist on earth. An evil fairy queen would put a curse on the fairies who sided with humans, which results in the anti-fairies. The story would reveal the origin of Fairy World, why the Pixies are the way they are, and Poof and Chloe's true nature. The evil fairy queen would reveal herself and summon her army of dark fay, many characters would be "killed off" and the universe would be plunged into malice. Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda and an Earth Fairy would brave the post apocalyptic world searching for survivors and forge an army of their own in order to fight the Dark Fey and the Queen. It's most definitely going to be darker than anything from the original show, dealing with themes of Fascism, Revenge, Trauma, Camaraderie, Love and Forgiveness. The filmed would be over three hours since there would be so many characters new and old and world to flesh out.
Personally, instead of the whole scene with Cosmo’s ex we’ve never seen or heard of before, they couldve given Poof a cameo instead - to explain his disappearance. Have it so that he’s off to school or being taken care of by Mama Casma or smthng. Also, with the entire reboot being known for budget cuts at this point, why did they even bother animating the flapping action of the fairies’ wings? They didnt used to flap their wings in the original series. The fairies just sorta, floated there.
Since Wanda hates Brandy-Lynn, don't you think Wanda's hatred of Brandy-Lynn is similar to Timmy's dad of Sheldon Dinkleberg, except her hatred of her is more rational.
While I understand Timmy was a swell generous kid....WHY as a 18 year old teenager, with bills, adult issues, and ment issue he'd have to deal with, WOULD HE EVER give his fairies away They should of had it to where he knew another kid like him was struggling and miserable, but Timmy was being selfish and the whole film is of him letting go and helping someone else
Man, not gonna lie, this looks unbearable. But you're very charismatic and eloquent so I managed to stay engaged the whole video. I didn't even know about this live action series til today, and yeah, it looks really cheap by their standards. Makes iCarly and those shows on Disney look like Masterpieces.
FOP never should have left the world of animation. The characters were better written, the animation even at its worst still looks better than what's on here, Timmy even at his worst is still a better protagonist than the girl who was clearly more inspired by Chloe who was meant to mock the mary sue character, and the writing I so much better. Also, a sitcom can have limited locations and still be good. Ned's Declassified had more variety in the locations and that almost always took place in the same middle school!
Alternative Idea: Due to mishaps, Timmy leaves his fairies at school and Vicki finds them so they become hers. Over the season they teach her to be a better person as she makes wishes and through seeing what would happen if her cruelty could go as far as she wants, she starts to understand why she is wrong and learns there are consequences and begins to care for others, starting with Cosmo and Wanda. She finally apologised to her family and Timmy (who came home for Christmas break) and ends as a good teacher who looks after the students. There is a final goodbye to C+W and the series ends.
The original fairies were supposed to be a stand in for Timmy's parents. Here the actual parents are a stand in for the fairies. The new fairies might as well not exist. Also; the female actress looks the same age as adult Timmy to me
I find it odd there's hardly any depictions of misery in cartoons that isn't comedic anymore. Idk how kids these days are going to develop senses that life can suck...
i think they couldve fixed the issu of the "how come cosmo and wand haven't left timmy?" with a simple line from them saying that timmy did so much for the fairy world that jorgen was willing to lax the rules by not wiping timmy's memories, and cosm and wanda are just not assigned to any kid until he leaves, where timmy asks jorgen if he could assign cosmo and wanda to his cousin because he felt it appropriate, and jorgen just goes "well they arent assigned to anybody right now are they?". boom problem solved or at least solved in a more elegant way than how they did it.
You know, Invader Zim is my favorite Nicktoon and my all over favorite cartoon, and I'm constantly sad it got cancelled so early- halfway through an unfinished second season. Still, when I watch videos like these and think about how FOP and IZ aired their first episodes on the same night, I'm almost happy Invader Zim got canned early as opposed to turning into a vapid, shambling zombie of a cashcow like FOP. It's honestly sad to see.
I mean, Jhonen Vasquez was involved, so I don't think that was a major risk anyhow. He's the sort to pull the plug when the time comes, whether that means things have come to a conclusion and it's time to write a finale, or just putting it out of its misery so that his name and stories won't be associated with the mindless filler that parents use to babysit their kids.
@@circeciernova1712 Yeah. I know people would want more seasons for cartoons like Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, or Invader Zim but I think it's better those shows don't go down the same path FOP did.
@@benbarnett5743 See, I don't want more Adventure Time/Regular Show/Gravity Falls, and I only ever wanted Invader Zim to be able to actually have the full second season. But we have Enter the Florpus now, so that's wrapped up too. No, what I want is a creative new show from Jhonny V, or someone else capable of achieving that kind of depth without sacrificing entertainment to do it. It's not just movies that are on infinite remakes/sequels/prequels/spinoffs/etc. It seems like nothing gets made now unless it belongs to an existing IP or brand - I can guarantee that something like Oppenheimer was only able to be made because it was attached to Christopher Nolan's name and associated brand recognition. Of course, what I _really_ want is not just more original works from the greats, but creative new works from new artists. It's damn near impossible to establish yourself as an artist the way the existing creators did in decades past.
Weird you didn’t mention how Cosmo and Wanda’s relationship got much worse as the show went on. They worked great together in the Oh Yeah Cartoons shorts and season 1 (and season 2 I think), but as early as season 3, they got much more toxic towards each other. Cosmo just became a blind idiot and Wanda isn’t much better. It’s not all happy for both of them you know, only some of it is.
Season 1 was probably the only time where Cosmo was both an idiot but Wanda still loved him, and he had good but silly ideas. Like the time travel episode.
I've heard enough about this show to know that the writing isn't all that good. At the very least, I think the characters could have worked if the writing were tweaked a bit. Here's what I'm thinking: *Timmy Turner* Like the show, Timmy has to go to college. However, both he and the fairies are saddened that their time together is at an end. After Cosmo and Wanda leave, Timmy forgets that he had fairies until he finds a note and footage that proves that he did indeed have fairies and that they are now gone. While he's heading for college, he spots Vivian and her family moving into a house in the neighborhood. In the years since the original show, Timmy was this cool, older brother kind of guy who would sometimes visit her with his family and goldfish. He's been in touch with Vivian enough to know that she's been having a hard time lately and is really looking forward to moving to Dimmsdale. Unfortunately, Timmy didn't realize that he was moving out on the same day Vivian was moving in. He has the unenviable task of letting her know that the main reason she was excited is literally moving away. Still, he goes through with it and tries to comfort her, maybe even promising to come visit during the holidays so that it won't be that bad of an experience for her. As he's leaving, Timmy manages to overhear Vivian getting fairies for the first time. He listens in and realizes that the fairies are none other than Cosmo and Wanda themselves, which both he and the fairies find to be an interesting coincidence. In the show, Timmy would continue to play the role of the cool older brother Vivian (and Roy) never had, but can only do so much because a) he has college and b) he can't let Cosmo and Wanda know that he managed to remember them. Still, that ain't going to stop him from trying to help her (and eventually Roy) in any way he can. *Vivian Turner* Vivian's sort of George McFly from Back To The Future in this version: she means well, but she's essentially a living doormat who needs to stand up for herself or else she'll be miserable for the rest of her life. She gets roped into doing tasks and homework other people were assigned to do, even by her step-brother, she goes along with most anything because she's worried that nobody will like her if she doesn't, and her parents are neglectful in their own ways. Her new step-mom barely acknowledges that Vivian exists and her own father still treats her like she's still in elementary school. Whereas maybe she could speak up against anyone else, she can't bring herself to tell him the truth because she knows he's genuinely trying his best and doesn't want to lose her connection with him. If she does have a relationship with Timmy, then he'd be the fun-loving older brother she never had. Now that Timmy's moving away for college, especially since she was excited to move to Dimmsdale because that meant she could spend more time with him, Vivian's kind of in a bad spot. Throughout the show, she would learn how to stand up for herself without becoming too selfish. Maybe some of her initial wishes are made for others, but even Cosmo and Wanda recognize that this isn't really making her life any better due to how much of a toll it's taking on her. *Roy Raskin* Much like his actual show counterpart, Roy is an impulsive kid. He acts on pretty much every thought that crosses his mind. However, this stems from being neglected by his mother. Since both his mom and step-father acknowledge Vivian more than him, Roy's been left to be raised by television and the internet, which isn't always the best way to raise a kid. As such, to feel like he has any sense of value, and to feel any form of being liked, Roy has taken on the persona of the Impulsive, Radical, Hip With The Kidz Cloud Cuckoolander. While this has somewhat helped him, this has resulted in him feeling worthless if he doesn't take on this persona and being unaware of when his antics hurt others, usually Vivian. Unlike Vivian, Roy would have to learn to be a bit more considerate and acknowledge that some folks will never like you. Perhaps one wish manages to screw over Vivian so much that she finally snaps at him and shows him that his actions don't just impact him. Cosmo and Wanda may also try to warn him about some of these consequences, which may or may not get ignored, depending on whether or not Roy thinks that the consequences are severe enough to heed their warnings. As for the others, I think you can figure how the parents would work in this version, Poof would be written off as having been tasked with helping another child who is not in Dimmsdale, Vicky no longer has a thing for Mr. Crocker, but still works with him to catch fairies, as even if she doesn't expect to gain magic to torment kids, she at least learns new ways to make kids miserable, and Mr. Crocker, much like Cosmo and Wanda, is pretty much the way he was in the original Fairy OddParents (first five seasons). Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Have a nice day!
6:35 - 6:47 Omg I would've love to see that, imagine Timmy gradually grew up through out the show & the finale end with him becoming a great adult while Cosmo & Wanda move on to be godparents of Timmy's kids like in the end of "Channel Chasers" That would've been a great conclusion for Timmy character arc
I like to Assume Poof became good enough with his wand and grew up enough to get his own Godkids... I hope and pray this is true and that Poof never had to suffer existing in this... I don't even want to call it a show... This Thing.
Hey, this is the perfect time to put in the clip of Jeff Goldblum thing from Jurassic Park. "Your self focus on thinking you can do it that you didn't think you should!" From having to write a overcomplicated storyline to get Timmy out of the plot and give the fairies, when you have three. I repeat three very interesting options to go with that could still fulfill the same option. Number one, which is for the easy and lazy writers: Timmy has grown up Cosmo Wanda have already moved on and were following the kids, TV, movie channel chasers following the plot of the good ending, problem solved. Plus you're recasting Timmy as the father makes perfect sense that you have a different actor, you can still have it be to kids all the things don't need to change and will you got your lazy writing done and you can just repeat all the same jokes. Number two, a little bit more effort you can also have new characters. In fairly beach summer, Timmy Turner died in liquid hot magma(since it was underground in the volcano. It counts as magma, not lava, lava is when not inside the volcano and above ground.) And came back reincarnate is a fairy. Jorgen just assigned him to a close family relative, instead of to the rich kids in the original film. And says"look, you're just starting out to be a fairy, and in order for you to be qualify as a good fairy your underneath tutelage." Cosmo Wanda also go and join him on this quest, problem solved. Third three, Norm the genie shows up and tricks Timmy into selling his very godparents, and in order to out smart, norm. He just sells them to his cousin. And selling your very godparents causes his memory to be instantly wiped and thus getting him out of the plot. And look two out of three are really interesting. And the was just me trying to come up with some crazy idea to actually was interesting.
Regarding the "I wish this boy would kiss me" wish being against the "can't wish someone would fall in love with you" rule, I wouldn't say the two are necessarily in conflict. Someone could be forced by magic to kiss someone else, but that doesn't mean their feelings for the person they're kissing would be changed. Spot-on with everything else in this review though!
I cant think of if that wish is legal or not. She could have just said she wished she knew how to get that boy to kiss her. Where she'd have to do the work herself but find out what he likes in girls or something. But she tries and it backfires in some way and the boy ends up liking her a bit because it got his attention, while the wish isnt actived. Like after she's covered in the mess she made.
I know this is a really dumb thing to take away from the video, but I always loved how adult Timmy looked. He turns from this scrawny, nerdy loser into a big, buff Chad. Actually motivated me a lot to start being optimistic about my future. Also, he wore the same shirt as his dad, and so did I.

Me going through chemotherapy:

wait... do you know about oaxis?
simple search: i have answered my own question
One simple change that would fix Vicky is that she doesn’t love Crocker but rather idolizes him because of how infamous of a teacher he was for causing misery to his students.
Not only that, Denzel Crocker should tell Vicky about the existence of fairy godparent and what they do. If Denzel reveals the existence of fairies to Vicky, she might get her revenge on Timmy's cousin for having Timmy used fairies against her.
@@michaelsarmiento3057 I think that was mentioned in another video about this show. If it had been a twist where Vicky had found out about the existence of fairies and connected the dots as to why Timmy always seemed to win, and that HE had fairies, could lead to her and Crocker both having that same hatred of Cosmo, Wanda & Timmy. Cosmo & Wanda for “abandoning” Crocker as a child, and Timmy for “terrorizing”(read as. Defending himself against) Vicky.
How fucking old is Vicky again? I think in Channel Chasers they say she's 16 but does she age after that?
And crocker is atleast in his 40s no doubt... that's gross
@@TygR3 I mean, the age gap is gross and I'm not saying she should be romantically into crocker but Vicky was at least 5 years older than Timmy who is shown to be at least 25 in this show. She's fully an adult.
@@clownrat5759 If Francis was in Fairly Odder, I imagine Francis to team up with Vicky to get revenge on Timmy. Also, like Vicky, Francis learns the existence of Fairies and why he keeps winning against him.
It will always be absolutely _hilarious_ to me that Sparky was so hated they literally just _pretended he never existed._ He just _vanished_ and _no one_ ever brings it up. It's absolutely _hysterical._

I will never forget the most tragically hilarious thing about Sparky: His backstory being that he was constantly being dumped back into the pet store by hundreds of owners, and almost went back at the end of the episode, like it was some big deal. Then, at some point, Nick just shipped him back themselves.

The more you describe Vivian Turner, the more it sounds like she was basically a calmer Chloe. And we all LOOOOOVED Chloe, right?
The fact that shes more tolerable than Chloe, shows me how bad Chloe was. I would have taken Vivian as the beter version of her over Chloe Mary-Sue Charmichael.

@FlickFlackAnimates I love this xD
Damn, that’s saying something.
It’s strange I heard this same comment used on an LSMark video… about this same show…
They could've done a prequel series about Crocker as a child. They could do an adult version like iCarly. They could do one about Trixie having fairies. There's actually a lot of ways you can expand on the original series.
I would love a Crocker series!
A Crocker spin-off would be interesting, but it’s need much better material than what the animated sequence from this showed us.
That'll take effort and paramount and Nick aren't interested in that. Instead we got this instead, man has FOP fallen from its former glory days.
@@artpenguinharry that scene looks off putting and not in a good way. Why show his head like that? Just why?!
@@chrisbrasel8060 dude, same. I made a comment about that yesterday. Why they portray Crocker in a face-toward-the-audience view is beyond me. Some cartoon characters only look in specific perspectives.
The fact "boo you guys, I'm going home" is in the final script, especially delivered that way, really shows there was no attempt at quality control as this went on.
I hate using the word "cringe," but that definitely fits the definition.
The use of pop culture references to stuff so far out of the target audience age range just for the sake of it honestly reminds me of Shark Tale…
17:18 😬
What’s even worse is that they kinda censored it from the original line in South Park as if kids had to be protected from the phrase “Screw you guys, I’m going home”
Imagine if the series was about Vivian being a normal girl seeing all the crazy shit in Dimsdale, and suddenly freaking out. Hard freaking out, refusing to leave her room because one of her teachers is obsessed with faries, another seems to constantly be in a state of mildly orgasmic sadistic glee, and there's *some weird-ass texan with a giant hat* running around. She basically quickly spirals down into a pit of homesickness and despair, knowing that she's trapped in this asylum of a town with nobody to reach out to. Her parents are loving it, and her brother is wrapped up in his own antics so that he doesn't think "it's *THAT* weird, right?". She's completely isolated. Then she gets Cosmo and Wanda somehow and over the course of the series she starts to acclimate, becoming as zanny as everyone else. First it's through backfiring wishes to try and make everyone else more "normal" that result in her needing to bend her own rigid worldview to the flow around her Later on it becomes more about trying to change herself in ways she thinks will help, only to realize that it's important to stay true to herself in some regard.
Basically it's a story of a somewhat prudish girl learning to come out of her shell, but with magic. Or something. I'm not a writer, I'm just some guy on the internet.
That would be really cool!!! :0
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide did a better job of portraying Cosmo and Wanda in live-action with animation than the live-action movies and fairly odder ever have done.
Now I remember!
I thought that episode was a fever dream. Didn’t really think that they appeared on neds since nobody told me about it. Until now.
I remember that episode man that show was so good.
I think the issue is they couldn't show the new kids being too miserable. You can show babysitters chase kids with chainsaws in a cartoon but in live-action that would be scary.
If the writers of this show were more *creative,* there were other less cartoony ways they could have made Vivian and Roy miserable and relatable.
Then they shouldn't have fucking bothered in the first place.
@@_V.Va_ Fairly Odder Redo: th-cam.com/video/JYbdZRxOEgA/w-d-xo.html
Counterexample. The Netflix Seires of Unfortunate Events did a GREAT job making the Baudelaire's lives miserable in ways that didn't feel uncomfortable.
Well that just shows that they shouldn’t have made this show into live action
Whenever a great cartoon ends too early, Like Invader Zim or Chowder did, I always remember that it's better for shows like that to end young and on a high note instead of being milked to death like this series was.
This whole franchise has become a physical manifestation of "How do you do fellow kids?"
I think as long as a show has at least 3 seasons and doesn't have unresolved storylines or anything, then that's a good run
And they didn't bring back Jimmy Neutron!
Come on, Nickelodeon... You could've given Jimmy's founding fathers Steve Oedekirk and John A. Davis, as well as the voice of Hugh, Mark DeCarlo some respect.
Nickelodeon as a whole has turned into “How do you do fellow kids?”
I miss old Nickelodeon and Nicktoons which stuff like hey Anorld jimmy neutron, Barnyard Fanboy chum Sanjay and Craig and stuff ngl
@@masterseal0418 But it almost happened, though.
“I’m just too nice” and “people like me too much” aren’t character flaws, they’re wish fulfillment.
Ironically that’s exactly the opposite of what a show about wish fulfillment needed.
When the show about satirical wish fulfillment collapses to the point where they make another show ironically promoting wish fulfillment, it needed to die like a decade ago.
To be fair, "I'm just too nice and people like me too much" could be reworked into "I have little self-confidence and am a proverbial doormat."
@@johnnygyro2295 Alternatively "people like me too much" could be reworked into "being a famous person with a lot of REALLY creepy fans", too.

@@johnnygyro2295 Kinda, yeah.
You forgot one thing. Tootie wasn't the only person Timmy lent his fairies to. In the Jimmy Neutron crossover, he willingly gave them to Libby, Carl, and Sheen.
So, theres rumors going around all the animation was done by ONE person on a time crunch, and if that is the case? Honestly im impressed they did a pretty good job all things considered lmao
Yeah, but I think that's the problem. A professional production should not rely on a single individual to do something as hard and time-consuming as animation, especially when you're trying to blend it into live action. And animation is expensive and this show clearly has budget issues.
@@frankielovejoy9928 yes exactly i agree
Damn bro really literally carried the whole show (well the animation aspect) (though the show sucked, but I wouldn't blame it on the poor guy.)
having to animate for this show all on your own should be considered a hate crime
God im so sorry for the animation intern that had to churn that out in one week
A more interesting premise for this show would have been if it followed Timmy's kids who were seen at the end of Channel Chasers. I mean, think about it: Timmy became a loving but somewhat oblivious parent. He knows something is off about the Vicky Robot but can't put his finger on it because he had much of his memory wiped after losing his God Parents. As a result, he unintentionally puts his children in danger and causes them misery.
Soooo, Cosmo and Wanda get assigned to be the God Parents of Timmy's kids (Which was CLEARLY the case given the ending of the movie) and they can help him raise his children while also coaching him to be a better parent than his parents ever were from the sidelines. We'd get to have Timmy in the show and expand on his character in adulthood, we'd get to know some newer characters who were already introduced to us and are at least somewhat miserable, and overall the whole show would make more sense.
I absolutely agree. And it should of been spin-offs or a Daria type show focusing on characters like trixie tang with more development. And also maybe a sequel show with older Timmy in high school. Etc
Gosh that sounds like a great premise🔥 but sadly the network would just screw it up🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ Happy Easter!
Also, given how his kids look like from what I remember, it implies that in that timeline, he ended up with Tootie, like in the live-action trilogy.
This is a way better premise than the reboot-
You should be a writer. What a great premise that is better than Hartman shat out.
Roy's character would've worked if he used his energetic and always happy nature as a facade to cover up how miserable he was, and being self centered would be his way of self reassurance, this could've been interesting to explore, especially given he's a kid and for a kid. But given this show they wouldn't explore that. They could even go with the popularity thing being all a lie and everyone pretends to like him for whatever reason. Also a Fish out of Water story (while very typical) could've worked in this type of show if Vivian was actually miserable too.
What worked about Cosmo, Wanda and Timmy in Seasons 1-5 was the family dynamic. They were suppose to be the family he desired to help make his life better and the wishes just came with it. Plus whenever Timmy made a wish Wanda would read out the rules to make sure that Timmy knew the rules of the wishes he made, some were debatable. But his implusive and selfish nature naturally had him live out the consequences of said rules until he decided how important the rules were.

I wanna meet whoever planned the laugh tracks for this show and just ask "Why."

So, basically Vivian is just a less obnoxious, more bland, live-action Chloe (a "Chlone", if you will), and Roy's just a clone of every bratty, mischievous protagonist ever in these kidcoms with little to nothing redeeming about them, aka terrible. All on a budgetless, pop culture-laden non-show made to maybe entertain the few tweens that might watch it and no one else. Got it. Reviews like this certainly sate my curiosity so I don't have to waste time on Paramount Plus.
To quote Mr. Enter in the #3 entry of his Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 1980s, "This shirt is what happens when you do not care!" Nick just wanted to make a live-action Fairly OddParents series for Paramount+ with no thought whatsoever put into how Timmy passing down his fairies to a younger kid would violate the rules and lore of The Fairly OddParents, not just because we never heard of a Fairy Permission Scroll before that allowed somebody who outgrew their fairies to choose which new kid gets to have them, but mainly because nobody writing this new show put any thought into Vivian as a character, what she is like as a person, and what makes her miserable. She just doesn't need her fairy godparents for anything most of the time, which makes this premise for a live-action animation hybrid sitcom an even bigger waste of potential than Imaginary Mary.

@@HighLifeProds17 they did that in the birthday blowout episode and it was alright. couldn't see it working as an entire series though lmao that would be torture
The whole "Timmy Turner's Life being a constant state of torture-Thing" was the whole point of the show and what made it so great and provided a believable (world building) explanation for why he had fairy godparents.
Vivian had them passed down to her and Hazel got them because she was nervous about moving. Like, what!?
I once thought of a sequel series to FOP that'd be like Daria where we found out Trixie has fairies. She could have a pretty bad home life justifying her fairies. It'd be a much more dramatic, teen-oriented series. It was at least a creative idea.
I actually had similar ideas as a teen as well. I think it’s a good idea. That’s what they should of done. Do the fleshing out in the reboot that the original show could of and should of done.
Agreed. I actually liked trixie because of the boy who would be queen episode and had an alternate countunity where the characters got more fleshed out like in molly McGee as opposed to flanderized. I love your idea and I think that is something nick animation should do
Correction: Should’ve Done.
I hate when people argue "it wasn't made for you" when they drop references and characters new fans wouldn't know and try to explain how they got from then to now, as if they know older fans are there. Besides, the point of a reboot is to reunite old fanbases and, if they claim they want a new one, they wouldn't have made a reboot if it's not for them. Then, even as it's own show, it usually sucks. Case and point...
That's why I'm like, "Why didn't they make the references tie into the fact that Cosmo and Wanda are time-displaced and their magic warps Dimmsdale?! That would have at least been clever and explained the South Park reference."
Bro, the Pixies were the ultimate lawful evil characters. I wish we got to see more of them in the original few seasons.
I feel like it would of been so so so easy to make Vivian miserable but in different ways than Timmy, ways that might be unique to her experiences as a teenage girl
-Make her step brother just a normal kid who doesn’t have the fairy god parents but he’s still perfect and a local town legend which makes Vivian feel inferior all the time, especially if he’s still a jerk to her all the time.
-Her dad cares a lot more about her new step mother and step brother than her, he doesn’t care about her interests and always wanted a son.
-Make her at least a little unattractive and make her very insecure about it, even if it’s the bare minimum of giving her glasses and a pony tail it would still work better.
-She’s picked on by almost everybody including that mean girl popular bully, the main reason everyone hates her is because she’s so serious and isn’t in tune with all the other Dimmsdale weirdness, they make fun of her for just not understanding how things work because she’s not from around here.
-Instead of having bad grades she could want to be an actor so she joins drama club, but her teacher just hates her so she never gives her any good parts, she’s often just a tree. (Bonus point if her mean popular bully is the teachers favorite, you could even still use Vicky if you want.)
Maybe you could even include more FOP characters as adults to really flesh out the town more (some of them could even have kids of their own to be vivian’s class mates! Maybe Trixie tang had a son that she has a crush on!), I’m not sure how her connection to Timmy could be improved, maybe she’s still his cousin but instead of giving Wanda and Cosmo away to her, Wanda and cosmo miss Timmy so much that they chose to help Vivian because she reminds them of him.
You could even have Timmy come and visit from time to time for extra drama.
when weird stuff happens he can mumble about how it all seems oddly familiar but he just can’t put his finger on it cause his memory is wiped, maybe Vivian and Timmy don’t have a very good relationship but Wanda and cosmo fix it by telling her stories about when he was a kid (insert episode references here).
I feel like this premise was kinda wasted an could of been massively improved on :(.
This is really sad and infuriating at the same time, that Nick is losing those Paramount+ subscriptions by hiring the cheapest writers imaginable who just go through the motions and do nothing to make us feel for the new main characters. You got to spend a little more money than that to make money!
Wow. It’s genuinely funny how many good ideas for shows you can get from a random TH-cam comment, and yet ppl r paid to make shows and they can’t do it
I agree, like if Vivian was basically treated like a pariah by almost everyone for being the new girl, have her home life be pretty shit on the whole by having the parents value her new step-brother over her, and just generally being kind of a loser.
Not only that, I would like to see Ty Turner's connection to Pappy Turner from the FOP episode "Good Ole Days." Pappy Turner is Timmy's dad's father who likes watching old cartoons from 1930s. Not only that, Ty Turner is Timmy's dad's brother. If so, what does Ty Turner think of Sheldon Dinkleberg.
Or, hell, throw in a mental illness or something.
What I’ve always hated was how after season 5, pretty much every side character was banished to the shadow realm, never to be seen again.
Where are Chester and AJ, his best friends? Where are Tootie and Trixie Tang, the love interests (and Veronica to some extent). Hell, where are the bullies Francis, Chad, Tad and his other friends Elmer and Sanjay? Or Remy Buxaplenty, who was his polar opposite and his fairy, Juandissimo?!
The world became so boring once I noticed the sudden lack of unique, diverse recurring characters. Arguably the best episodes were the ones that showed how selfless Timmy was for his friends!
But nope. Let’s replace them with bland, gimmicky characters who had zero relatability or charm.
Edit: I wrote this before watching the video. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed.
Even the fairy dog disappeared after one season
@@wesxd5292 it always annoyed me how they gave no in universe explanation for why he wasn’t there
I wholeheartedly agree because the earlier seasons were filled with tons of laughter, life lessons, and wholesomeness that I really loved as a kid and it sucks to see the show getting worse (to me everything after Poof’s season is when I stopped watching).
@CrossoverBingo 64 and the pixies
I mean it would’ve been good if the new characters had more interactions with the old ones
19:56 just wanted to add to your point that Vicky would never believe in the fairies, in the theme song for the og show at the end Vicky literally says "yeah right" as to show that she doesn't believe in that sort of thing.
The most unbelievable part of this is that Timmy went to Princeton.
I found it hilarious Vicky was obsessed with fairy god parents, yet at the end of every into, she says “Yeah right”! Implying she doesn’t even believe everything
The dumb part is Timmy didn't even need to give Cosmo and Wanda away, Jorgan could have taken them and send them to Timmy cousin or preferably adifferent set of kids in the town. It wasn't like Timmy is in the show for that long anyway. And the growing to old for his fairies is the perfect setup for the the fairies go meet the new cast. If they wanted to use Timmy in the future, they could say Jorgan let him keep his memories as a nice final give.
You could have a Timmy cameo like that one episode where Timmy visits the castle to see the old godkids
This series really begs the question: if they didn't have the money (or didn't want to invest the money) to make a good final product, why make it in the first place?
The answer, CAPITALISM, always capitalism
More money
Nickelodeon has got to have money 💵 💰
I don't even think it was for a profit since the last live action adaptations flopped hard
I think it's a contract thing between Nickelodeon and Paramount to fill in empty space with ANY content on their failing streaming service, it's just cheap filler like packing peanuts
I might be wrong here, but sometimes companies churn out stuff like reboots to hold onto the IP. Part of copyright law, if I remember right, is that you have to pay a fee and/or use said IP in a timeframe or else you lose it.
My head cannon for poof not being in the show is that he probably has his own Godchild now but what doesn’t make any sense is why Cosmo and Wanda don’t bring him up once
my head cannon is that Crocker has Cosmo and Wanda trapped in a dream like state and all of this is happening in their heads. Meanwhile real poof and Timmy are outside trying to rescue them.
@@slospop1125 well I highly doubt that but that would be far more entertaining than the actual show😂
At this point, this is just too far gone. Just pretend this monstrosity doesn’t exist, and there’ll be no need to creat head canons.
my head canon is poof died in a car accident.
My headcanon is that this is a show in the Fairy world that didnt actually happen and its run by Pixiez
At least the new animated reboot of Fairy Odd Parents is good…and not a complete dumpster fire in a volcano
You’re idea about having the godparents be for Timmy’s child could be so good if done correctly. They could’ve still had Timmy’s memory wiped, but have the first episode be about him discovering his kids have fairies, and specifically cosmo and Wanda. Seeing them again after sharing so many good memories could reawaken his memories about them. Jorgan, sharing a special fondness for Timmy based on his past experiences, would simply look the other way, but give Timmy the condition that he’s not allowed to let his kids find out that he knows, and he’s not allowed to have his wishes granted. Timmy could grapple with the fact that he knows he’s doing what his parents did with Vicky and causing his own children misery, but changing things would cause cosmo and Wanda to disappear. You could have whole episodes dedicated to timmy, and other episodes dedicated to his kids, meaning old fans looking for more mature themes could only watch the timmy episodes, and the kids could watch the other kids.
Okay, so you know how Cosmo and Wanda used to pop up as objects to keep an eye on Timmy throughout the days, where they weren't "supposed to" be seen?
They arguably could've done that.
It would've been horrible, considering everything, but it would've been an attempt to keep Cosmo and Wanda there in the show and be guides for the kids.
Maybe put their animated faces and crowns on real objects. It would have been bare minimum, but it could work
Funny thing is that they have done that a *few* times in this
But either not caring or budget prevented them from doing the concept justice
I love your vhope pfp
@@misswyte1651 VHOPE FOR LIFE
@@SamtheBravesFan That actually could have been kind of cute, in a corny way.
I genuinely feel bad for every actor in this, even the ones that aren't that good. They all look like they're giving it their all, so even the bad performances at least have a lot of energy and effort put into them. It's just sad all that energy is wasted on this.
the actress for vicky is a musical theatre singer for a production company called starkids. she's really good at singing
I’m kind of annoyed on how the show decided to completely ignore poof, Sparky and Chloe‘s existence’s. Don’t get me wrong I hate them as much as the next guy but even so it would’ve been kind of cool to see what happened to them. Also I think Timmy shouldn’t have been in the show at all. It would’ve been cooler if we just saw Cosmo and Wanda taking care of another godchild that had nothing to do with Timmy
yeah when I first saw vivian I thought she was an older chloe. the ideas of the later seasons weren't doomed on arrival, the executions were just not good.
sparky literally returned to his home planet, they wrote him out of the original after 1 season w/ no in-universe explanation.
It could've been nice having an older poof. (edit: but ig according to the drake bell movies he'd still be a baby since fairies rlly do age that slow)
And if they wanted to keep things connected to Timmy, they could at least give a brief explanation that--unlike Timmy--Chloe outgrew the fairies, got her memory wiped and maybe could be a side character in the series or say she moved away afterward if u don't wanna include her. Better to at least handwave than pretend these characters never existed, esp when they started the show w/ a recap of the original where they easily could've explained these things
@@tiablue9106 exactly. Seeing an older poof with his own God child could’ve been interesting but they don’t even acknowledge his existence. Sparky could’ve just gotten rich gambling and is now partying in fairy world (I know that seems random but if you know Sparkys character that is totally something he would do). And I completely agree on your idea for what they could’ve done with Chloe. This reboot didn’t have to be horrible. Making it a live action series was a horrible decision but I do think it could have been at the very least a decent but unfortunately that was not the case
Poof was fine but the others suck.
I don’t sparky was really bad. Aside from his debut episode, he never came off as obnoxious and was constantly loyal to Timmy like any dog would to their owner. But He’d be better if he was just a side character
@@Smith-fg1qb I agree. He could be a little annoying sometimes but most of the time he wasn’t that bad. If I was a writer for the show instead of completely writing him out in season 10 I would’ve just had him become a side character like you said
Fun fact Chloe was actually added on purpose to tank the ratings of the show. The creator didn’t wanna keep doing the show so he made it bad in purpose so the network could cancel it
The odd part is Viv could have been like Hazel, seeming more normal but her misery is underneath the surface.
Moving to a new place, self isolation, having a brother who always steals the spotlight from her, a step mom who always negs and belittles her in subtle ways and a father that turns a blind eye to all of it sounds devastating.
I think the problem is that unlike Hazel, whose anxiety and overthinking were always explored, the show just presents theses ideas but never really explores them, making it seem like it doesn’t effect her at all.
24:54 fun fact, the Godzilla costume worn on the show, was an actual cheap costume you can buy at Party City for maybe $50. I wish I was joking.
Or that their giant elaborate siingle-room house is CGI instead of just giving them a normal house or apartment shot.
LMAO😭
And the hands are literally Velociraptor claws from the Jurassic Park Toyline
"Oh no, the horrors of being an upper middle class, good-looking slightly unpopular white girl!"
This is literally tall girl but worse bc Vivian doesn't even get target bullied-

I grew up with the Fairy Odd Parents, as in I'm almost 30, I remember when it first aired and I remember my entire class falling in love with the series. And honestly, I think in retrospect, we all had this unspoken agreement the series ended with the Channel Chasers. That is how the series ended, and we all moved to our teenage years and forgot about it.
Then my little brother started watching Nickalodian, and me and my sister both were amazed Fairy Odd Parents was still going.... for some reason. And it wasn't till like last year I learned the series had finally ended after getting silently canceled cause God forbid a series not be forced to be an endlessly exploitable show like Sponge Bob, and by hook or crook they'll force it along till the series dies. So kinda like EA honestly.
Really? I thought this series ended with Meet the Odd Parents.
I'm about to be 32.
I miss the 90s...
@@adampkalb No, it ended with Channel Chasers. Timmy's got two happy children who don't need Fairy God Parents, I'm pretty sure he's married to Toody, and he's successful at his job.
Yep. Nearing 30 myself and that's where it stopped.
@@naterivers6107 But the problem is, I don’t even see Tootie marrying Timmy in the episode. The only thing we saw of Tootie was her trying to sever ties with her bad sister and that’s it. I don’t understand why fans think that. Plus, saying Channel Chasers should have ended the show is the equivalent of saying Really Loud Music should have ended The Loud House.
Absolutely hilarious that not only did this not get a 2nd season, but Paramount literally REMOVED IT from Paramount+ around the time the actually decent looking animated reboot was leaked.
Fairly Odder legitimately has a chance at becoming lost media(if no DVDs are made, which I don’t there will be) and that is just fucking comedy gold.
We are truly past the era of sound stage sitcoms. The difference in artistic integrity between those first 5 seasons and this sitcom is giving me whiplash.
Are you saying that the animation in Seasons 6-9 are crap?
Fairly Odd Parents has sworn its place right next to The Simpsons as a zombie franchise.
What's zombie franchise?
@Slam Dunk Lisa meets Billie Eilish

A franchise that has decayed so much that it has lost all its charm
We should probably add Spongebob to that list too

9:21- I'm sorry, hold up... Vicky is A TEACHER? Someone actually employed her as an EDUCATOR? OF CHILDREN?!
Nobody gave her a background check
that's such a stupid reason to keep her in. She wouldnt WANT to be a teacher. Thats the most out of character thing possible. She cant openly abuse them as much as she did Timmy
I actually liked the show until season 10. Poof was a decent addition that was cute (Quickside tangent but what the fuck did they do to poofs voice in season 10? Like would it have been been so hard to get Tara strong voice him again). I actually didn’t mind sparky (and then the writers just got rid of him the very next season without any in universe explanation despite how easy it would’ve been to make an excuse for his absence). Season 10 though…… that is when the show became truly awful in my opinion. I just like everyone else hate Chloe. And because they completely wrote out Sparky from the show and poof only appears in one episode of the season Chloe gets almost all the attention. By season 10 there’s not even any continuity anymore and all of the characters are just shells of their former selves. And after 10 seasons the show doesn’t even get A proper series finale! Are you kidding me! No instead we get a horrible sequel series…. Thanks Nick….
The worst part about Chloe for me is that her design is actually cute. But her personality and character itself is bad
I dropped the show after the 4th seasons, crazy that people like you stuck around as long as you did and nick STILL managed to fuck it up
Tara was still voicing him in season 10. The issue is they ran out of ideas and didn't know what to do with him. They should have played up his genius baby traits like Maggie Simpson. The joke being he can't talk yet he can do all these things a baby shouldn't do. Stuff like thanks for doing our taxes Poof.
Honestly, Poof was an angel when comparing him to the other new characters.
@@icecreamhero2375 poof was not voiced by Tara in season 10. He was voiced by three people actually and none of them were her. Poof only was in one episode and of that season and this is what he sounded like for the entire episode

It’s horrible. He’s just a reference machine
Modern Simpsons, Family Guy, and SpongeBob combined could not even come close to the level of stagnation the Fairly Oddparents have now.
I’ve heard SpongeBob is fine, not as good as the early seasons but it’s still got it’s charm. It’s the spin-offs that just show signs of stagnation
Meh, I’d argue Simpsons has a level of stagnation beyond the three shows
Like the term of “Zombie Simpsons” do exist for a reason
I think its hard to beat the level of stagnation of the Simpsons.
Simpsons is A LOT worse than FOP is now. No charm, no interesting moments, and there’s nothing to keep anyone invested in the show’s newer seasons.
I honestly didn't mind poof tbh, it allowed for a lot more stories to exist and added a sense of passing time to the show. it also allowed for more magical mishaps to happen other than the two fairly generic and overused (by that point at least) ideas of cosmo being stupid/Timmy making poorly thought out wish.
beyond poof, I don't really see why they added more characters instead of slightly expanding on the pre-existing ones, as quite a few of them could have been fleshed out a lot more in terms of personality and hobbies.
Yeah. The show started to go downhill shortly after Season 7 started until it drowned in Seasons 9 and 10. Many people badmouth Season 6 for no reason yet hardly give examples or details as to why. It’s just straight up nitpicks. Season 6’s quality is the same as SpongeBob’s Season 4 while Seasons 7 and 8 are the same as SpongeBob’s Seasons 5.
@@manofwisdom000 Same, I never minded Sparky cause I had a dog with the same name. I thought it was cool.

SpongeBob and fairly oddparents are what happen when a good thing gets milked to oblivion by greedy exects. Clearly there is no passion unless passion for money counts… which it does not.
That's one of the reasons that I'm personally worried about this Avatar Studios stuff and these tonnes of different ATLA projects they're working on. It feels like they realised that Avatar has grown immeasurably popular in the last decade so they're now gonna milk it for all it's worth
I find it quite odd none of the movies tryed using shrunk down actor(s) to play Cosmo and Wanda
I feel like they could have tried to hone in on the fact that she was the straight man, living in a town where everyone's "crazy", feeling outcasted, isolated, and like she's slowly losing her mind, with the fairies the only people she feels she can actually talk to, or who can understand her.
From riches to rags: it’s sad to see One of my favorite shows get dragged through the mud like this
To take the cat out of the bag, this show was made to be so cheap, that there are some problems which I can list down here:
Plotholes throughout. In fact, Vivian and as I like to call him the "Let's go!" kid don't have miserable lives like Timmy. They have saccharine-ass lives without any abusive parents.
The monster costume during a film set was a Godzilla inflatable suit the creators bought from a nearby Party City.
On the subject of the animated segments(and to a lesser extent, Cosmo and Wanda), they look worse than the flash animation used for the final 13 episodes of Fairly Oddparents. It looks like an NFT cartoon, and feels more stilted than the last!
Little to no mention of Poof, Foop, Sparky, Chloe, Trixie, Tootie, Chester, AJ, Sanjay, Elmer, Frankie, Crimson Chin, Catman, Negachin, Juandissimo, Tooth Fairy, April Fool, Cupid, Dr. Rip Studwell, Principal Waxoplax, Binky, Mama Cosma, etc; nor Timmy's kids Tammy and Tommy.
The humor: bland, unfunny, stale as dried toothpaste, and jokes that pander toward kids of the modern generation. Mentions of theater musicals(as a theater fanatic myself, I find them to come out of nowhere, and didn't laugh once), Tiktok, yelling YOLO and flossing, pop culture references, Absolutely disgusting!
They got Butch Hartman back to work on this despite his actions after leaving Nickelodeon having major consequences. Sure, Butch isn't a creep like John K, Chris Savino, and Dan Schneider, but he's a complete scumbag every which way. Let alone have they said no to bring back Jimmy Neutron so it can be faithful to the source material(in a similar case to KND), but continued to ruin the Fairly Oddparents since it's already a zombie franchise!
I don’t think Butch has any part in Fairly Odder, actually.
Why does almost everyone who makes a show for Nickelodeon end up being a bad person
I think the thing I find hilarious is how you can’t find scenes posted for the show online. That would mean either paramount is really that hard ass over protecting a show no one is watching, or that no one is bothering to post up scenes.
Either way, kind of a shame to see how FOP has been treated as of late. You would think they would have gotten as much love and focus as SpongeBob, but it’s clear that outside of the sponge, paramount doesn’t have much to work with.
Man I hate when my childhood shows are being ruined. Great video and review
My friends. What we have here is a case of 'Mary Sue Main Character'
Aka: The main character of the show is not allowed to have any problems at all and the only people to dislike then are the bad guys. So they get no trouble at all and get all the amazing stuff despite it. The difference between this and a normal Mary Sue is that Mary Sue's are usually added later and outshine the main character.
Long story short: This show was just someone's fanfiction
You know I legit think it’d be fun to have a Fairly OddParents spinoff where it’s an anthology series where focus is placed on the kids with other fairies along with the occasional episode starring Cosmo and Wanda with one of the kids they had before Timmy. You could call it Fairly Odd Anthology
Heck imagine if the impossible happened where they did a crossover episode like having Butters or Kenny from South Park get fairies.
Let's hope for humanity's sake that the South Park kids never get fairies
it would be funny if they made a one time reference that butters has fairies
You had me until you mentioned South Park. You probably shouldn’t insert your interest into things that have nothing to do with it
That's actually a great idea. I feel bad for Timmy as much as everyone else, but he's Not the only kid with a bad childhood.
@@moomooold there's nothing wrong with that. Shows make references and crossovers all the time to gain likeability and other audiences. Though a show should never be entirely based off of a random crossover because then it wouldn't really make sense
I stopped watching FOP a little before they introduced the fairy dog, and I've heard it's gotten far worse since. I guess what I've heard is true, seeing this video.
2:39 I mean Crocker, being an unhinged villain character, does seem like a fun character to play so it would make sense that the guy who played him leaned into that. Even some of the darker portrayals of The Joker that miss the entire point of him being a clown have decent performances put into them. (Leto was unhinged to begin with so it's not saying much in his case)
As someone who wants to make animated films, instead of making a sequel series taking place in the future, I would make a great big epic finale for the original series. The story would begin with a retelling of the story "Boots and his Brothers". This would present a world where humans and fairies use to coexist on earth. An evil fairy queen would put a curse on the fairies who sided with humans, which results in the anti-fairies. The story would reveal the origin of Fairy World, why the Pixies are the way they are, and Poof and Chloe's true nature. The evil fairy queen would reveal herself and summon her army of dark fay, many characters would be "killed off" and the universe would be plunged into malice. Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda and an Earth Fairy would brave the post apocalyptic world searching for survivors and forge an army of their own in order to fight the Dark Fey and the Queen. It's most definitely going to be darker than anything from the original show, dealing with themes of Fascism, Revenge, Trauma, Camaraderie, Love and Forgiveness. The filmed would be over three hours since there would be so many characters new and old and world to flesh out.
That’s cool but this isn’t the right video to say this
Personally, instead of the whole scene with Cosmo’s ex we’ve never seen or heard of before, they couldve given Poof a cameo instead - to explain his disappearance. Have it so that he’s off to school or being taken care of by Mama Casma or smthng.
Also, with the entire reboot being known for budget cuts at this point, why did they even bother animating the flapping action of the fairies’ wings? They didnt used to flap their wings in the original series. The fairies just sorta, floated there.
They probably got rid of him because he was dragging the series down. People didnt really care for him as a character.
Roynochio should have been Poof visiting his parents and his parents ask him of what he is doing this days. Also, have Poof met Vivian and Roy.
Since Wanda hates Brandy-Lynn, don't you think Wanda's hatred of Brandy-Lynn is similar to Timmy's dad of Sheldon Dinkleberg, except her hatred of her is more rational.
22:35 Wow guys, I can’t believe they did a crossover episode with Just Stop 😱
Fairly OddVideo.
how r u not verified lol
If they wanted to make a reboot, they should’ve made it about Timmy’s kids (the ones at the end of Channel Chasers).
That would be awesome tbh
While I understand Timmy was a swell generous kid....WHY as a 18 year old teenager, with bills, adult issues, and ment issue he'd have to deal with, WOULD HE EVER give his fairies away
They should of had it to where he knew another kid like him was struggling and miserable, but Timmy was being selfish and the whole film is of him letting go and helping someone else

Seasons 1-9 - Upgrade
Season 10: GO BACK
Fairly Odder: I SAID GO BACK
Well the only thing good about Season 9 was just the improvement in the art style and animation.
FOP never should have left the world of animation.
The characters were better written, the animation even at its worst still looks better than what's on here, Timmy even at his worst is still a better protagonist than the girl who was clearly more inspired by Chloe who was meant to mock the mary sue character, and the writing I so much better.
Also, a sitcom can have limited locations and still be good. Ned's Declassified had more variety in the locations and that almost always took place in the same middle school!
16:36 ok THIS is some mighty good delivery and editing, my guy. Props.
Alternative Idea:
Due to mishaps, Timmy leaves his fairies at school and Vicki finds them so they become hers. Over the season they teach her to be a better person as she makes wishes and through seeing what would happen if her cruelty could go as far as she wants, she starts to understand why she is wrong and learns there are consequences and begins to care for others, starting with Cosmo and Wanda. She finally apologised to her family and Timmy (who came home for Christmas break) and ends as a good teacher who looks after the students. There is a final goodbye to C+W and the series ends.
The original fairies were supposed to be a stand in for Timmy's parents. Here the actual parents are a stand in for the fairies. The new fairies might as well not exist. Also; the female actress looks the same age as adult Timmy to me

i think they couldve fixed the issu of the "how come cosmo and wand haven't left timmy?" with a simple line from them saying that timmy did so much for the fairy world that jorgen was willing to lax the rules by not wiping timmy's memories, and cosm and wanda are just not assigned to any kid until he leaves, where timmy asks jorgen if he could assign cosmo and wanda to his cousin because he felt it appropriate, and jorgen just goes "well they arent assigned to anybody right now are they?". boom problem solved or at least solved in a more elegant way than how they did it.
You know, Invader Zim is my favorite Nicktoon and my all over favorite cartoon, and I'm constantly sad it got cancelled so early- halfway through an unfinished second season. Still, when I watch videos like these and think about how FOP and IZ aired their first episodes on the same night, I'm almost happy Invader Zim got canned early as opposed to turning into a vapid, shambling zombie of a cashcow like FOP. It's honestly sad to see.
I mean, Jhonen Vasquez was involved, so I don't think that was a major risk anyhow. He's the sort to pull the plug when the time comes, whether that means things have come to a conclusion and it's time to write a finale, or just putting it out of its misery so that his name and stories won't be associated with the mindless filler that parents use to babysit their kids.
Yep. Sometimes it's good to end a show while their fresh so they don't become rotting zombie versions of their former shells

@@circeciernova1712 Yeah. I know people would want more seasons for cartoons like Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, or Invader Zim but I think it's better those shows don't go down the same path FOP did.
@@benbarnett5743 See, I don't want more Adventure Time/Regular Show/Gravity Falls, and I only ever wanted Invader Zim to be able to actually have the full second season. But we have Enter the Florpus now, so that's wrapped up too.
No, what I want is a creative new show from Jhonny V, or someone else capable of achieving that kind of depth without sacrificing entertainment to do it. It's not just movies that are on infinite remakes/sequels/prequels/spinoffs/etc. It seems like nothing gets made now unless it belongs to an existing IP or brand - I can guarantee that something like Oppenheimer was only able to be made because it was attached to Christopher Nolan's name and associated brand recognition.
Of course, what I _really_ want is not just more original works from the greats, but creative new works from new artists. It's damn near impossible to establish yourself as an artist the way the existing creators did in decades past.
Weird you didn’t mention how Cosmo and Wanda’s relationship got much worse as the show went on. They worked great together in the Oh Yeah Cartoons shorts and season 1 (and season 2 I think), but as early as season 3, they got much more toxic towards each other. Cosmo just became a blind idiot and Wanda isn’t much better. It’s not all happy for both of them you know, only some of it is.
LS Mark already covered it so I guess JS thought "why bother if someone already did it well enough?"
@@verstamech I think that's why I hate this show.
All of a sudden Cosmo and Wanda love each other again and are mad at Timmy? Why?
Season 1 was probably the only time where Cosmo was both an idiot but Wanda still loved him, and he had good but silly ideas. Like the time travel episode.
this was one of the shows I've ever watched, certainly an experience I've unfortunately had.
I've heard enough about this show to know that the writing isn't all that good. At the very least, I think the characters could have worked if the writing were tweaked a bit.
Here's what I'm thinking:
*Timmy Turner*
Like the show, Timmy has to go to college. However, both he and the fairies are saddened that their time together is at an end. After Cosmo and Wanda leave, Timmy forgets that he had fairies until he finds a note and footage that proves that he did indeed have fairies and that they are now gone.
While he's heading for college, he spots Vivian and her family moving into a house in the neighborhood. In the years since the original show, Timmy was this cool, older brother kind of guy who would sometimes visit her with his family and goldfish. He's been in touch with Vivian enough to know that she's been having a hard time lately and is really looking forward to moving to Dimmsdale. Unfortunately, Timmy didn't realize that he was moving out on the same day Vivian was moving in. He has the unenviable task of letting her know that the main reason she was excited is literally moving away. Still, he goes through with it and tries to comfort her, maybe even promising to come visit during the holidays so that it won't be that bad of an experience for her.
As he's leaving, Timmy manages to overhear Vivian getting fairies for the first time. He listens in and realizes that the fairies are none other than Cosmo and Wanda themselves, which both he and the fairies find to be an interesting coincidence.
In the show, Timmy would continue to play the role of the cool older brother Vivian (and Roy) never had, but can only do so much because a) he has college and b) he can't let Cosmo and Wanda know that he managed to remember them. Still, that ain't going to stop him from trying to help her (and eventually Roy) in any way he can.
*Vivian Turner*
Vivian's sort of George McFly from Back To The Future in this version: she means well, but she's essentially a living doormat who needs to stand up for herself or else she'll be miserable for the rest of her life. She gets roped into doing tasks and homework other people were assigned to do, even by her step-brother, she goes along with most anything because she's worried that nobody will like her if she doesn't, and her parents are neglectful in their own ways. Her new step-mom barely acknowledges that Vivian exists and her own father still treats her like she's still in elementary school. Whereas maybe she could speak up against anyone else, she can't bring herself to tell him the truth because she knows he's genuinely trying his best and doesn't want to lose her connection with him. If she does have a relationship with Timmy, then he'd be the fun-loving older brother she never had. Now that Timmy's moving away for college, especially since she was excited to move to Dimmsdale because that meant she could spend more time with him, Vivian's kind of in a bad spot.
Throughout the show, she would learn how to stand up for herself without becoming too selfish. Maybe some of her initial wishes are made for others, but even Cosmo and Wanda recognize that this isn't really making her life any better due to how much of a toll it's taking on her.
*Roy Raskin*
Much like his actual show counterpart, Roy is an impulsive kid. He acts on pretty much every thought that crosses his mind. However, this stems from being neglected by his mother. Since both his mom and step-father acknowledge Vivian more than him, Roy's been left to be raised by television and the internet, which isn't always the best way to raise a kid. As such, to feel like he has any sense of value, and to feel any form of being liked, Roy has taken on the persona of the Impulsive, Radical, Hip With The Kidz Cloud Cuckoolander. While this has somewhat helped him, this has resulted in him feeling worthless if he doesn't take on this persona and being unaware of when his antics hurt others, usually Vivian.
Unlike Vivian, Roy would have to learn to be a bit more considerate and acknowledge that some folks will never like you. Perhaps one wish manages to screw over Vivian so much that she finally snaps at him and shows him that his actions don't just impact him. Cosmo and Wanda may also try to warn him about some of these consequences, which may or may not get ignored, depending on whether or not Roy thinks that the consequences are severe enough to heed their warnings.
As for the others, I think you can figure how the parents would work in this version, Poof would be written off as having been tasked with helping another child who is not in Dimmsdale, Vicky no longer has a thing for Mr. Crocker, but still works with him to catch fairies, as even if she doesn't expect to gain magic to torment kids, she at least learns new ways to make kids miserable, and Mr. Crocker, much like Cosmo and Wanda, is pretty much the way he was in the original Fairy OddParents (first five seasons).
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Have a nice day!
The only thing that (MAYBE) could've saved this show if Doug dimadome was in it and he was played by Sam Elliot.
I love how a New wish is... NOT THIS

Omg I would've love to see that, imagine Timmy gradually grew up through out the show & the finale end with him becoming a great adult while Cosmo & Wanda move on to be godparents of Timmy's kids like in the end of "Channel Chasers"
That would've been a great conclusion for Timmy character arc
Fairly Oddparents is harder to kill than a cockroach on steroids.
I like to Assume Poof became good enough with his wand and grew up enough to get his own Godkids... I hope and pray this is true and that Poof never had to suffer existing in this... I don't even want to call it a show... This Thing.
Man, do I have good news for you :)
Hey, this is the perfect time to put in the clip of Jeff Goldblum thing from Jurassic Park. "Your self focus on thinking you can do it that you didn't think you should!" From having to write a overcomplicated storyline to get Timmy out of the plot and give the fairies, when you have three. I repeat three very interesting options to go with that could still fulfill the same option. Number one, which is for the easy and lazy writers: Timmy has grown up Cosmo Wanda have already moved on and were following the kids, TV, movie channel chasers following the plot of the good ending, problem solved. Plus you're recasting Timmy as the father makes perfect sense that you have a different actor, you can still have it be to kids all the things don't need to change and will you got your lazy writing done and you can just repeat all the same jokes. Number two, a little bit more effort you can also have new characters. In fairly beach summer, Timmy Turner died in liquid hot magma(since it was underground in the volcano. It counts as magma, not lava, lava is when not inside the volcano and above ground.) And came back reincarnate is a fairy. Jorgen just assigned him to a close family relative, instead of to the rich kids in the original film. And says"look, you're just starting out to be a fairy, and in order for you to be qualify as a good fairy your underneath tutelage." Cosmo Wanda also go and join him on this quest, problem solved. Third three, Norm the genie shows up and tricks Timmy into selling his very godparents, and in order to out smart, norm. He just sells them to his cousin. And selling your very godparents causes his memory to be instantly wiped and thus getting him out of the plot. And look two out of three are really interesting. And the was just me trying to come up with some crazy idea to actually was interesting.
Regarding the "I wish this boy would kiss me" wish being against the "can't wish someone would fall in love with you" rule, I wouldn't say the two are necessarily in conflict. Someone could be forced by magic to kiss someone else, but that doesn't mean their feelings for the person they're kissing would be changed.
Spot-on with everything else in this review though!
I cant think of if that wish is legal or not. She could have just said she wished she knew how to get that boy to kiss her. Where she'd have to do the work herself but find out what he likes in girls or something. But she tries and it backfires in some way and the boy ends up liking her a bit because it got his attention, while the wish isnt actived. Like after she's covered in the mess she made.
So brainwashing is bad but sexual assault is ok
You also can have much meaner comedy in animation because no one is actually getting hurt and all all the voice actors are adults
Kid voice actors exist in some shows you know.
F.O.P: *Dies in the aftermath of Season 10 and the crossover with Bunsen is a Abomination*
Years later: F.O.P comes back, but as a zombie
I know this is a really dumb thing to take away from the video, but I always loved how adult Timmy looked. He turns from this scrawny, nerdy loser into a big, buff Chad. Actually motivated me a lot to start being optimistic about my future.
Also, he wore the same shirt as his dad, and so did I.
