I thought this franchise was finally dead. Holy fuck, what's next? Jimmy Neutron crossed with Icarly? Just stop with all these unwanted reboots already. No one needed this, just like they didn't need a gay Rugrats reboot, or a modern reboot or softboot sequel of anything for that matter.

A post from last year about why these reboots keep happening, why they suck so much, and what you can do to stop it:

The benefits of reviving an old IP are kind of obvious: there's a built-in audience that's hungry for more content, and that's pretty fucking important now. We're kind of drowning in a sea of entertainment these days; there's so many TV shows, movies, miniseries, and God knows what else, that people don't know what the hell they're supposed to be watching now. Plus, any original property that does come out is up against so many competitors that its chances of success are about the same as a "transgender woman" successfully passing. Which brings me along to my point: remaking or rebooting something that's already well known is a surefire way of attracting desperately needed attention. It becomes your unique selling point, something to help you stand out from the sea of bland, generic shit floating all around you.

In theory, it should be a win-win situation for everyone: fans of the IP should be happy to see their favorite franchise gloriously brought back to life revamped, improved, and modernized. It's like being reunited with your high school sweetheart, but instead of the boring middle-aged marketing consultant with cellulite stretch marks and high functioning alcohol dependency that she's turned into, she's young and beautiful and adventurous again. The studio should be happy too, because not only do they benefit from the work of previous generations and get the chance to bring back something beloved by people all across the world, but they also make a shit ton of money to pay for their drugs and (underage) hookers. Everyone should be a winner, but it all depends on one thing: not fucking it up.

See, people tend to be kind of protective of stuff they enjoy, and they actually get pretty nervous when someone messes with it. Now, it's easy for bitter, lonely, cynical people who've never loved or cared about anything in their entire lives (*cough* SJWs and shill media *cough*) to write this sort of behavior off as "fan entitlement". I mean, how many trashy articles have we read on this very website bemoaning yet another fan backlash to an unpopular remake of an old IP? However, the truth is that it's got less to do with entitlement and more to do with basic human psychology: people naturally form attachments to things that they invest a lot of time in, and the more they invest, the greater the attachment, especially with things that made a big impact on them at a young age.

Watching The Fairly Oddparents as an impressionable young kid for the first time is a lot different from watching as a grown adult with a lifetime of other experiences to water down the impact, and as a result, it stays with you. Naturally, fans like this tend to seek out other like-minded people to share their enthusiasm: they form social media groups and fan clubs, they build websites, write fan fiction, buy merchandise, and go to conventions. It all adds up to a strong sense of investment and emotional attachment and the natural result of attachment is protectiveness. Imagine that I gave your favorite childhood toy to some random stranger with the vague promise that he's gonna do something "very interesting" with it. You're probably gonna feel pretty nervous about that, but then imagine how you'd feel if he totally fucked it up. That's what Disney, The CW, Netflix, et al are doing: they're all fucking up our favorite childhood toys, and demanding that we like them just the same. And then they're shocked when the actual fans say, "no, I wanted you to make improvements to my toy, not shove it up your dog's ass, burn it, and then flush the ashes down the toilet", and leave to watch something else.

TL;DR: The curse of the rebooted IP has its reasons and it has its casualties, but there's a pretty reasonable cure for all of this:

What the fuck did I just watch? Ironic given my username but the kid that wants everything to be Gold seems fucking annoying, I agree that Cosmo sounds death inside.
 
The trailer got 4k likes, too bad then Youtube hidden the dislikes, I guess Fairly Odder trailer might have more dislikes than Ghostbusters 2016.

Nope:

Still, the fact that Fairly Odder has more dislikes than likes is fairly telling. Almost like JewTube got rid of the dislike counter solely because of transnational corporate interests or something.

If they wanted to bring back the Fairly Oddparents they could do something new.

Maybe Poof has grown up and got his first Godchild. So we have something a little different an inexperienced Godparent who is still learning the ropes and maybe as a first time Godparent he is on a probation period and has someone coming in to check on him.

So he needs to hide crazy hijinks from the adults in his Godchild's life and his inspector.

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?

Didn't Timmy canonically grow up to be jacked? Smh at all these live action spinoffs for making him a twig.
 
So was that dad or whoever Timmy I'm assuming? This just looks... horrible. And the voice acting for Cosmo and Wanda sound just slightly off in tone or something and it's bothering me more than it should 🎩
