Hi. I'm DangerMouseFan1981. I'm not really much of an artist but I do appreciate art and the hard-working people who make them. ^^

Okay. Flame shield up. (Just in case)
Remember the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour trilogy? The crossovers between "The Fairly OddParents" and "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius"? Well, I used to like this trilogy as a kid...but as I got older, I changed my opinion on it.
Here are my reasons why:
-
The FOP universe gets more attention than the JN universe (This becomes more evident in the second and third Power Hours).
-
The humor is all over the place and somewhat over-the-top at certain points.
-
Cindy doesn't deserve Jimmy or Timmy. Heck, in JN's Valentine's Day special, she literally sang a song about how she wants a boyfriend she can boss around.
Remember the opening of the FOP episode "Power Pals" where Cosmo and Wanda called out Timmy for taking advantage of his friends? Well, I can definitely see Cindy taking advantage of Jimmy and Timmy, and treating them like her personal servants (Doing her homework, carrying her stuff, cleaning her house, etc).
- The humor of FOP doesn't really fit with the JN universe. I know the JN show has its fair share of wacky moments and moments that don't make a lot of sense (despite the fact that it's a sci-fi adventure show) but there's such a thing as being too wacky.
And finally...
- The only thing FOP and JN have in common is that Timmy and Jimmy's names sound the same. Aside from that, it's clear that FOP and JN are two totally different shows. One being fantasy and the other being science fiction.
Personally, I think Jimmy Neutron should've crossed over with Danny Phantom. I know DP is a supernatural show but it has inventions that look like they could fit in the JN universe and characters with five fingers instead of four. Plus, Jimmy and Danny would probably bond over their shared interests relating to space and/or astronauts.
Now, there are people who absolutely love the JTPH trilogy despite its flaws. And there's nothing wrong with that.
But we shouldn't put any show, movie, or any other form of entertainment from our childhoods on such a high pedestal to the point where we refuse to acknowledge their flaws and get very upset at anyone who (responsibly) disagrees with us.
So the next time to decide to rewatch something from your childhood, remember to take off your rose colored glasses and acknowledge the red flags you've previously ignored.
