Timmy Turner (seasons 9 and 10)

Timothy "Timmy" Tiberius Turner is the main protagonist of the Nickelodeon series, The Fairly OddParents, and is voiced by Tara Strong.

Sadly, he was flanderized horribly from Season 9 until the show's cancellation.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) Removing the cat from the bag, he went from "an average kid who no one understands" to "a spoiled brat who no one really stands", as empathized in the caption.
 * 2) He has lost any likability or relatability he had ever had to the point where he should not have fairies anymore, though it varies whether he was in character or not in Seasons 7-8, depending on episode and portrayal (ex. "Cosmo Rules" and "Timmy's Secret Wish!"). His tendency to not think things through has been flanderized into carelessness and irresponsibility, while his laziness involving school has evolved into being too cool to even caring about his performance.
 * 3) Several episodes involving his character derailment include:
 * 4) *In the Season 9 premiere, "Fairly OddPet" where, after his parents declare that he is too irresponsible to own a pet, he wishes for cats to terrorize the Turner household, exposing them to his mother, who is allergic to cats, just so his parents can agree to get him a pet. Why couldn't he just wish for his parents to agree in getting him a pet instead?
 * 5) **Also in the same episode, he is shown to be feeding his pets human food, which killed them in the process, even though Season 3's “That's Life” shows that it was his dad constantly forgetting to feed his son’s pets, which resulted in their deaths, while his son was away at summer camp. But given this is Season 9 we’re talking about, screw continuity, right?
 * 6) *In the Season 10 premiere, "The Big Fairy Share Scare", he acts very immature, selfish, irresponsible, and annoying, such as when he hides inside of a high-tech robot version of himself just so he can goof off at school and at home, while having said robot do all his schoolwork, homework, and house chores, throws temper tantrums when he notices everyone is in love with Chloe Carmichael, and wishes that there would be no more Fridays, endangering the entire Earth.
 * 7) *In "Dumbbell Curve", he wishes for everyone in Dimmsdale to be dumber than him despite Wanda's warnings that the wish could backfire heavily, only for him to brush it off and force his fairies to grant said wish, so that he can slack off on his homework rather than work hard to improve his homework. His infamous quote: I know dangerous, irresponsible, regrettable blah-blah-blah! Just wave the wand, woman! I'm not getting any younger, or smarter!
 * 8) *In "Force of Nature", he repeatedly throws his trash out his bedroom window and builds into a trail that leads straight to Dimmsdale Park. He later wishes that the animals that live in the park would clean up after themselves and the humans, just so he can continue to litter whenever he wants.
 * 9) *In "Desperate Without Housewives", he wishes for all women to disappear for a full day just so he does not have to put up with his mother telling him what to do. You thought he would have learned his lesson from Season 3's "Love Struck!" by now?
 * 10) *In "Birthday Battle", when he finds out that Chloe has the same birthday as him, they both fight over to where their parties should be taking place, wrecking havoc among Dimmsdale.
 * 11) *In "Return of the L.O.S.E.R.S.", he got so lazy to the point he can't physically do anything like walking or even blinking without wishing to do so. Granted, this was supposed to be a "joke" among the writers' part, but it comes off as more unbelievably idiotic than funny, even for a kids cartoon.
 * 12) He has become dumber than he already was. For example, in the Season 9 finale, "Man's Worst Friend", he couldn't tell the difference between Sparky and his counterpart, Anti-Sparky, until the plot conveniently called for it.
 * 13) His selfishness worsens in Season 10 upon the introduction of Chloe Carmichael, so that his status as her foil is more obvious to the viewers watching.
 * 14) While Tara Strong still does a good job voicing him, his voice has become so high pitched whenever he yells or screams, it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He at least shares Cosmo and Wanda with Chloe, even though she does not need fairies.
 * 2) He occasionally has his old persona.
 * 3) He was a much better and more tolerable protagonist before he was flanderized.
