Oh God Why: Fairly Oddparents Movie [Live action]

[Viridis]

Someone, presumably an executive with a heart of blackest pitch, decided this needed to exist. (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Fairly-Oddparents-Movie-1020888.aspx)

Jason Alexander is Cosmo. Drake Bell is a 23 year-old Timmy.

That sounded like the worst concept ever just based on the thread title.

Then I read the article.








What...What is wrong with people? This idea actually makes me want to weep.

[Flarecobra]

This, and the live-action Smurfs movie...

All in favor in nuking Hollywood?

[Red Fighter 1073]

Wow I cringed after reading "Live-Action", but 23-year-old Timmy? REALLY? I don't think you could get any dumber than that and yet I'm sure I'll be proven wrong. I mean, aren't godparents only supposed to be there while you're a kid?

I mean, aren't godparents only supposed to be there while you're a kid?If I could try and navigate their logic... He's 23 and still in the 5th grade. :raise: I'm thinking some kind of wishing to.... no. Screw it. I don't care and it's all bullshit anyway.

[RobinStarwing]

People for one...this is Nickelodeon...they are screwing with VOLTRON for crying out loud and going to make it a Nicktoon with PsychoFool PukeToilet (AKA> Spongebob Squarepants)...I lost respect for Nickelodeon YEARS AGO.

This is just a new low in a network that seems hellbent on rotting the brains of kids with garbage. >_> I miss the good old days when Nickelodeon showed quality kid's programming (product of the 80's and early 90's when Animation in the US was still good and didn't need to rely on Dark Themes or Toilet/Idiot Humor).

Flare> Nickelodeon is in Orlando.

That's the point. Like, he's 23, but he still wants to be a kid so that he could keep his fairy godparents.
But then he sees a chick and has to choose between keeping his fairy godparents or getting his bone on.
That's the plot of the movie basically.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

They're raping my childhood right in front of me,
This nightmare is- fuck it! I'm not rhyming cause these pieces of unmitigated shit have screwed with the wrong cartoon this time.

[Viridis]

they are screwing with VOLTRON for crying out loud

I had to look that up.

Just... damn.

Also T.U.F.F. Puppy, created and executive produced by Nickelodeon hit-maker Butch Hartman, follows the gung-ho, dim-witted dog named Dudley Puppy who is thrust into the role of "hero" when recruited by the super secret crime fighting organization, T.U.F.F. (Turbo Undercover Fighting Force) to protect his hometown against the evil animal organization, D.O.O.M. (Diabolical Order of Mayhem). T.U.F.F. Puppy is produced at the Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, Calif.


sounds exactly like The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Files_of_the_Spy_Dogs) except terrible

[tacticslion]

But then he sees a chick and has to choose between keeping his fairy godparents or getting his bone on.
That's the plot of the movie basically.

This, and also that all oil tycoons are inherently bad.

So, our story:
A twenty-three year old man is still attending 5th grade classes.

He sees a woman and lusts after her and must decide - because it's difficult to decide, here - whether following through with this is better than sitting in 5th grade classes, surrounded by ten year old children, all the time.

And oil tycoons, being inherently evil, steal his reason for remaining in 5th grade.

This... is awful in every way. I know what their message is supposed to be (that it's okay to grow up, eventually you need to put childish fantasies behind you, etc), but this... this is so horrid on so many levels! This is not the proper technique for this lesson!

[Carade]

A live action film of a cartoon? Terrible ideas? Box office bomb?

This must be the work of...

FAIRY GOD PARENTS.

[Nique]

This looks like a great movie. Will probably be MUCH better than Inception.

Our mix of live-action and special effects animation will make them look 'hyper-real'

I mean come on. 'Hyper-Real'? Damn I'd have been happy with 'real but 'Hyper-Real'?! This movie is taking Hollywood to a whole different level.

[Kim]

This movie will be worth watching for a single reason: Live action Crocker.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

No no no no no no, this has the stink of the Pixies all over it. Maybe even a few ambitious Anti-Fairies.

[PCD]

There are all the points you guys made that are pretty obvious ones. We know that this will be terrible, it's a fact. Making a TV live action movie of a cartoon is guaranteed to suck.

But what drives me insane is how many times are they going to do this plot?! We have had SO many stories that involve Timmy getting panicked about having to grow up, leave the Godparents, and get on with his life. It was done way better in that ANIMATED TV movie, Channel Surfers. There is absolutely no way for this to bring anything remotely interesting or new to the table, short of "LOOK THEY'RE PEOPLE NOW"

[Kyanbu The Legend]

It was going to happen. Deep down inside we each knew this shit was going to happen.

It's just far worse then most of us may have feared.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

This, and also that all oil tycoons are inherently bad.


Well they are.

Also totally looking forward to this- not since the movie Big has a mainstream movie so boldly tackled the divide of physical and mental aging!

[Hatake Kakashi]

M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN.

Fixed that for ya. Yeah, I'm still not over the disaster that was The Last Failbender.

Dragonball Evolution. Cowboy Bebop. The Last Airbender. Fairly Oddparents. Is it just me, or is Hollywood TRYING to piss the world off?

Purists won't like the movies because of the director's inevitable narcissistic God-complex drives them to dick with the source material. Normal moviegoers won't like the movies because to be honest, they're trying to make a movie from a story that was never meant to be a movie in the first place, and they're doing a damned bad job at it. Generally, the only ones who tend to enjoy these utter shitfests are either so beyond high on something that they'd enjoy eating barium meal, or so unaware of what a good movie actually is that they'd gleefully sit through a Julia Roberts movie marathon. Ugh.

[Yrcrazypa]

If anything, this and that Yogi Bear movie they are coming out with are proof that God doesn't exist. A loving God would never allow this to come to pass. Even Satan would consider it far too evil, even for him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bells]

I just dropped by to say that you guys are stronger than me... i couldn't get passed the fact that Jason Alexander is Cosmo without passing out.

I mean, i love me some George... but as Cosmo? C'mon!!

Dear lord. The movie itself is not the problem, the problem is that the people behind it are making more money than me... i mean, if they will shoot any crap, i can do that!

[Magic_Marker]

Goddammit.

God Damn It.

Fuck.

Really? But I...23!? How? Drake Bell? Jason Alexander?

...

Goddammmit.

[Viridis]

that Yogi Bear movieI hate this thread because you all keep introducing me to new terrible things. :(

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I mean, if they will shoot any crap, i can do that!

Hell, you could go out and film yourself taking an actual crap and that'll still have more artistic merit than....THIS

[krogothwolf]

This is the awesomeness thing ever to happen! I have never seen this show so it'll be great just to see them butcher something I've never seen, watch the source material then die of laughter at how bad they fucked things over.

AWESOME!!!!

[Lithp]

There's no such thing as Satan. Well...not anymore. He killed himself in shame after the invention of Twilight.

[Donomni]

Wow, they couldn't make a half-assed shitty adaptation, they had to go full-ass on the horribleness here.

I mean, holy shit you do not make a live-action movie out of the Fairly Odd Parents, let alone turn it into a romantic comedy with adults except one still thinks he's ten oh god fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

At least they aren't releasing this to theaters.

[Magic_Marker]

Theory: Somewhere, Somehow, Someone just got their Corrupted Wish.

[RobinStarwing]

There's no such thing as Satan. Well...not anymore. He killed himself in shame after the invention of Twilight.

That he did, and the throne is reserved for whoever thought this was a good idea....>_>

[krogothwolf]

The guy who created the Series plus Nickelodeon?

I've never seen the creator of something actually want to destroy their own product though, so this is even more awesome then before!

[Aerozord]

but why Fairly Oddparents, even by modern animated standards it was goofy and wacky, that was the point. 90% of the humor was visual, which is next to impossible to do with live-action. Avatar, DBZ, those can atleast work in theory (obviously not in practice), but even in theory this fails. Can you think of one scene, a single scene comedy or otherwise in the entire series that could work in live action? I cant

Nor can I. Fairy Oddparents as old school animated comedy brought to kids of this generation, most of whom I thought couldn't enjoy the humor and would still prefer to laugh at toilet jokes and garbage like that. The person who is now King of Hell in place of Satan is whoever thought this Live Action movie was a good idea.

I found something I'd rather watch Sharktopus instead of...and Made for SyFy movies hurt my head to watch.

Timmy, the jerk store called. They're running out of you!

[RobinStarwing]

*goes to the toilet to puke*

[POS Industries]

This movie will be worth watching for a single reason: Live action Crocker.
To be fair, if they actually cast Carlos Alazraqui for it, the movie would have at least one redeeming factor.

But I mean that would require them to do something right and this is the Fairly Oddparents Movie starring Drake Bell so they're probably going to get Cedric the Entertainer or something.

[Aerozord]

all i can say is if they do use Pixies and Ben Stein isn't involved, I will litterally scream in, well its not really horror, you know that odd pain you get from abhorent levels of stupidity, like when you watch Naruto filler

[RobinStarwing]

I think it's called Screaming Bloody Murder?

EDIT: He was supposed to be Cosmo?! Why is he a Umpa Lumpa?!

[RobinStarwing]

http://i49.tinypic.com/2yl0jr5.jpg

EDIT: He was supposed to be Cosmo?! Why is he a Umpa Lumpa?!

Because Nickelodeon wants to scare kids and scar them mentally for life?

[ZAKtheGeek]

All I saw was "Oh God Why: Fairly Oddparents..." and I knew exactly what was going on.

Except he's 23 like what the fuck happened there.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Is this suppose to bring some sort of closer to the show? Is that why Nick is creating this crime against all of existence and perhaps beyond?

[Nique]

Except he's 23 like what the fuck happened there.

It probably represents some deep message of the movie in a totally non-creepy completley approriate way.

[Kim]

Except he's 23 like what the fuck happened there.

He's probably 23 but still in grade school because he keeps failing his classes.

[POS Industries]

You'd think he'd just wish for better grades.

[RobinStarwing]

You'd think he'd just wish for better grades.

That would be too simple and defeat the purpose of making us all want to barf and cry.

[Nique]

Or for it to be summer all the time or some variation thereof that would mean more play less work since that is pretty much one of only two general things that children want. *

But I mean we're what now arguing the premise of a Nickelodeon made-for-tv movie based on a cartoon that wasn't all that impressive to begin with?

Who's the REAL monster?

Yeah I was gonna try to make pretending to enjoy crappy movies my thing. That got boring. Wheee!

EDIT: *I think the other thing is food. Children eat food right?

[Fusionman]

Hey guys maybe we haven't noticed who the woman Timmy wants to get his bone on with is. TOOTIE! Why Hartman!? At the end of Channel Chasers you gave us Timmy's kids AND NEVER ANSWERED THE SHIPPING WAR! Why now? Also the timeline got raped due to this movie. Want to know how?

Lay it on us Fusionman!

[Fusionman]

Lay it on us Fusionman!

Yes Kyanbu! Well in Channel Chasers Timmy used the fast forward button to make himself older until he loses his fairies getting rid of the remote and stopping Vicky from taking over the world. OF COURSE! When Timmy goes to 16 he loses his fairies. Let me say this again. According to CANON he loses Cosmo and Wanda at 16!! Also at the end of that movie we saw 30 year old Timmy with two kids. Each of them were around 8. Yep. Hartman raped his own timeline. I didn't know that was possible.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Unless he found away around that rule, He shouldn't even remember who his fairies are or that he even had any. Of course even then the fact that he had kids that were 8 when he was 30 still roles out the chances of this movie making any sense.

Well not 8. The age was never said. I just assume it's not 10 and they look too old for 6-7.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

They still looked 8 to me.

[Fusionman]

They still looked 8 to me.

Well then we agree. Hartman ruined his own timeline. WTF? Why would you kill your own timeline?! Isn't that the point of being the head writer!? Sorry. This movie pisses me off. I admit. Tootie's actress doesn't make me angry though. Daniella Monet otherwise known as Trina Vega in Victorious. Your thoughts Kyanbu and others?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

The very idea of it being live action erks me. But if it was going to be done like Scott Pilgrim or Loony Toons back in action, then maybe I'd give a chance.

But then timmy's going to be 23 which is rather ridiculous and the plot while somewhat true his character to an extent, seems bad already.

Those are really the only things that bother me about this flic. I don't follow movies much if not at all so I don't know enough about the actors/actresses to like or hate them aside from what I hear or read from others.

[Nique]

Loony Toons back in action

Really?

[Fusionman]

Really?

Hey it's not as bad as Space Jam.

[Nique]

Hey it's not as bad as Space Jam.

Counterpoint: Space Jam had Danny DeVito.

Also I belive the movie example you guys are looking for is 'Who Framed Rodger Rabbit'.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Really?

It's very watchable if you grew up on Loony Toons.

Rodger Rabbit works too as an example.

[Fusionman]

Roger Rabbit is a great example. It was "Hyper-real"!

[Nique]

It was "Hyper-real"!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...!!!

[h4x.m4g3]

Man Hollywood is no longer content with destroying my childhood, their moving onto the next generation already.

Also this thread is terrible for introducing me to more childhood raping that I was unaware was occurring.

Seriously 23 in 5th grade... they couldn't just done hey Timmy is 15 and its a week before his birthday where he'll lose his Fairy Godparents forever, is he really ready to grow up?

That would involve Hartman not raping over his own creations.

I'd also accept, 23, getting out of college, and onto the family/work part of life. Not saying it would be better, or even good just, it would also make sense

Fun Fact, this was on list of "horrible things you never want to see the light of day". granted it was a general "live action adaptation" so eventually something would. But its only been a month :crying:

I warned you! I warned all of you!

Oh no you don't! You can't spin this one away with your honeyed lies, you have your share of the guilt!

[Nikose Tyris]

Actually, Fusionman, this could work fine.

"I wish I never have to grow up and lose you two."

Wish creates the paradox world, just like Timmy already had to stop Vicky in Channel chasers to change the future. Making this wish screwed with things, and the end of this feature-length farce will probably end with the typical "I wish I never made that wish" time will re-write itself and it'll end with em hookin' up. Bam, movie.

I'm sure Da Rules has a rule against that wish working. If it doesn't... FAIL.

[Aerozord]

It was established awhile ago that its mental age not physical that decides when you lose them. Back when he wished himself as an adult it was his regression to mindset of a child that allowed him to wish himself back, and later he wished for merely "the body of an 18 year old" and retained full access to his fairies.

But this is a live action movie so I doubt they'd actually give a reason

Hey Aerozord has a point. However Hartman doesn't care so why should we?

[Aerozord]

The other reason I mention it is also to say. "What happened Hartman, you used to be cool". That was one of the awesome things about the show, all the random crap and contrived explainations, but they kept continuity and internal consistancy. He should be above this, and my only explaination is he wants to "cash out"

Internal consistency? What happened to Trixie being a closet tomboy? It was the main plot point of one episode then never mentioned again! This could have made great stories.

[RobinStarwing]

Let's face it...Nickelodeon and Hartman want to commit Franchicide. Franchicide is when someone kills a Franchise. Most infamous and recent example...Highlander: The Source. None of the actors involved in the original Highlander series wanted any part of that but someone talked them into it.

The fans watched and rejected it (including me and my mother) and both the fanbase and the actors refuse to acknowledge it as Canon and blame it for killing the Highlander Franchise.

This has the potential to burn and be rejected like Highlander: The Source.

[Lithp]

That he did, and the throne is reserved for whoever thought this was a good idea....>_>

There's a being that horrible in existence? I could tolerate chaos spewing out crap like this, but this is just too much.

Yes and their evil is beyond human comprehension.
