Denzel Crocker (seasons 9 and 10)

Denzel Crocker is one of the main antagonists in The Fairly OddParents. Originally, he was just a back-up villain in the first two seasons. Since Season 3 onward, he became one of the main antagonists in the series, and officially the main antagonist by Season 7, replacing Vicky from this role. He was also the main antagonist of the first Fairly OddParents special, "Abra-Catastrophe", and the first Jimmy Timmy Power Hour special. He is also one of the two main antagonists in the Bunsen is a Beast crossover episode, "Beast of Friends". He was voiced by Carlos Alazraqui.

Sadly, he has received massive amounts of flanderization from Season 9 until the show's cancellation.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) He has gone from a mentally unstable school teacher, yet funny and intelligent villainous-fairy hunter who wanted to prove to the world that fairies exist, into a numbskull who is a carbon copy of Cosmo and Mr. Turner combined.
 * 2) He is also an incompetent and idiotic villain as well, most notably in the episode “[[mh:terribletvshows:Return of the L.O.S.E.R.S. (The Fairly OddParents)|Return of the L.O.S.E.R.S.}}” from season ten.
 * 3) His backstory as a child}} of how he originally lost his [[Cosmo and Wanda (The Fairly OddParents (Seasons 9-10))|fairies has been completely changed. On that note, his child self went from a passionate, loveable, and brave kid who wanted to help others into an egoistic brat, much like Timmy Turner has become.
 * 4) Like Cosmo and Mr. Turner, he became a too dumb to live-type character.
 * 5) Like Mr. Turner, he is severely overused due to him becoming the writers' pet for cheap laughs.
 * 6) *Thus, he is frequently shoehorned into scenes that he does not need to be in.
 * 7) *Adding onto that, he became even more of a punching bag than he already was.
 * 8) *Lastly, he tends to talk about his mother too much.
 * 9) He seems to be the only villain aside from Foop who the writers always favored over almost all the other villains.
 * 10) There have been a handful of times where he sees fairies right before his own eyes and he doesn't do a thing for the sake of plot!
 * 11) His gags have become irritating, repetitive and unintelligent.
 * 12) His ears being located on his neck still makes him look rather hideous in appearance, especially if close-up. We know it's meant to represent his personality, but still.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was a better villain in the first six seasons, although it is questionable on whether he was in character or not in seasons seven and eight.
 * 2) Occasionally, he has his original personality and hilarious moments.
 * 3) He is still a tragic character deep down due to the events of "The Origins of Denzel Crocker" from season three, which makes his flanderization sadder.
 * 4) His famous catchphrase: "FAIRY GODPARENTS!!!!!"
 * 5) Carlos Alazraqui did a good job voicing him. David Lewis also did a good job portrayed him (albeit in all three live-action film adaptations).

Reception
His flanderization and excessive screen time are both part of the main reason why Seasons 9-10 are poorly received by fans and critics alike.
