Looks like Timmy Turner's next wish will be for more meth. Casting Drake Bell would have been the less creepy option. I'm finally at an age where I get to watch every franchise I loved as a child go down in flames
But that would actually be innovative and somewhat creative. And why do that when you can just reheat the same shit over and over to make people come to you every time because memberberries? View attachment 3014426
Creativity is too hard for creative. But I did come up with more ideas since my last post.
Thinking about this even more having Poof be in charge could open up room for diversity. Like what if his Godchild was AJ's kid. Maybe AJ's kid, let's call him Alex, is not quite as smart as his dad and just average. He is under pressure to live up to his father's brilliance. This could create an interesting dynamic of his father is too smart while Poof's dad is too dumb.
Neither relate to their father but for opposite reasons and both wish each other's dads were more like the other.
Poof's Grandmother, Cosmo's mom, could be put in the awkward position of defending Cosmo while being forced to realize he has issues. Poof is her grandchild and she can't snap at him too much. She could be forced to team up with Wanda and put aside their issues to bring Cosmo and Poof together. Alex could play a part in getting Wanda and Cosmo's mom to team up on this.
For another sideplot, maybe Alex is more into athletics and relates more to Uncle Chester. However Alex is really bad at sports, but good old Uncle Chester cheers him and maybe he even gets training from the McBadbats.
For further conflict maybe AJ makes it clear he doesn't get the appeal and is half-assed in his support and points out that athletics is not Alex's thing. This makes Alex want to double down on it.
You can play on him being smart still but maybe having more of an engineering blue collar bent. He still got a little something from dad just not in the same way. Sure he may not be athletic but he can still repair and put things together.
You could have some moments of AJ being proud of his son's handiwork. Maybe have an episode where AJ is having trouble figuring out why his invention doesn't work. We have magical hijinks to make things better, but the end result to fix the problem is mundane that Alex is able to figure out. A science fair episode is another easy example to trigger this moment.
See we have the start of a potential character arc for both Alex and Poof as they come to resolve their daddy issues and eventually understand sure our dads may be embarrassing and we don't always understand each other but we are still family. We all have our hearts in the right place and can meet each other half way.
You can also have a running theme of passion/action and mind/Logic. Fire and ice. Poof/AJ thinks more with logic and the mind while Alex/Cosmo are more action and passion orientated. Although in different ways.
Now that I've earned my Autism stickers, someone feel free to steal this idea, you don't even need to credit me. I am just an asshole trying to show off how you can be creative with the base of what is already provided by the source material. You can turn my ideas into several seasons easily.
Why are they trying a new one? The live-action version with now known pedo freak Drake Bell was already shitty. Is Paramount+ really starved for content? I'd like the service if they could get all of their classic Paramount movies and television shows that they produced, but I'm guessing contract deals and legal rights prevent that from fully happening.
I thought he was removed because he was not popular with audiences. Neither was that talking dog they added in the last few seasons. And he was removed as well.
The show IIRC, kept adding new characters that no one liked to keep it going, while side-lining all the interesting/well liked recurring characters that the first few seasons had.
Paramount+ had removed the trailer. I guess they didn't expected the backlash would have been so high and some people talked like if it was a bad SNL parody.
Early Zoomers 1995-2002 remember it. Fairly Odd Parents used to be a massive IP alongside SpongeBob and Jimmy Neutron. It really defined 2000s Nickelodeon. It is hard to remember it’s influence though as the show has been butchered hard since the 2010s and was practically a zombie for half of its life. In reality, Fairly Odd Parents was up there with the likes of SpongeBob, Rugrats, and The Loud House for Nick.
It also doesn’t help that Timmy has been seemingly absent from modern Nick crossovers. There now seems to be legal troubles surrounding FOP and maybe Jimmy Neutron, which keeps them from appearing in Nickelodeon Kart Racers or All-Stars Brawl, even if they should be there.
Nothing else, there was no Asian actress who could have portrayed Trixie Tang, lol. But still having Tootie turning into a hot babe who would look like one of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders as a way to save the bacon of that movie.

I once had this very autistic idea of making a legacy webcomic of FOP and funny enough I thought about Poof being the center of it too. Also made the challenge of including annoying later season ideas.
In my stupid story the action takes place around the time Timmy is about to turn 18, the last year he is supposed to have Cosmo and Wanda, with Poof having graduated from fairy academy. Wand-OS is failing and magic is no longer in the air as kids are less imaginative. Timmy has been using what he knows are his last years of magic wishing to solve practical problems, his greatest accomplishment being bringing some solace to Denzel Crocker’s life by inspiring to quit teaching and write about Fairy World in an Artemis Fowl rip-off.
Timmy, Chester and AJ are still in contact but not for long. Tootie and Veronica develop a friendly rivalry over Timmy. Timmy is still unsure of what he wants to do. A child at heart who can’t relate to the adult world around him.
Jorgen takes Poof as his protégé, showing his soft side. Here we learn Jorgen is technically the fairy god parent of all the people on Earth. He grants small wishes to people of all ages and, very occasionally, will bend the rules if need be. Is in wards and asylums where Poof learns the ropes of wish granting but it exposes his biggest problem: he has a very active imagination. Eager to please he can take wishes to the extreme which leads other fairies to think that he is as dumb as his father.
Jorgen has his back so he assigns him what he assumes to be the easiest job available. A lonely overachieving girl that never steps out of her habits and has very little ability to build strong relationships: Chloe Carmichael, a kid that might as well accidentally lose him in about a week. While both start patronizing each other they bond easily over how alien they feel to their own environments. Chloe can easily talk to adults about a bunch of subjects and comes as wise beyond her years, but with kids she is the carrousel friend that the new kid is forced to hang out with. She crumbles without structure and dreads uncomfortable social situations. They both are lonely in their own way, but they get each other which turns Chloe into an even bigger recluse.
Both are intelligent in their own ways but both are still children and at that children that are connected to Timmy Turner. They even visit him from time to time. Neither were around when a certain someone was about to trick the entire Fairy World and thus could become useful tools against the beaver tooth. A genie watches from the distance, taking a new face in order to get close. No one suspects the fairy dog.
This has been marinating in my head for, no joke, two years. So feel free to use.
Woke Blue Muttlema, interesting ideas you have. It could be interesting to see what do you have in mind for Trixie Tang, the Pixies, Juandissimo, Mrs. Doombringer (too bad she only appeared in one episode, she could have some potential to do a comeback), Remy Buxaplenty as well as Mark Chang and Princess Mandie.
Too bad then Norm MacDonald passed away, it would have been fun to see Norm the Genie back as well....
. Shit, what else did I miss?
There's a vlog who talk of the first episode of that disaster.
