Denzel Crocker (seasons 9 and 10)

Denzel Crocker is one of the main antagonists in . Originally, he was just a back-up villain in the first six seasons. Since the seventh season onwards, he became the main antagonist of the series, 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 been flanderized from the.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) He changed from a mentally unstable school teacher, yet marginally funny and intelligent fairy hunter who wanted to prove to the world that fairies exist, and turned into exactly what Mr. Turner has become: a repetitively idiotic and destructive comic relief.
 * 2) He is frequently shoehorned into episodes that do not directly focus on him, whether it’d be to provide a cheap laugh out of the audience or a deus ex machina to help Timmy solve problems that he otherwise can't, which is incredibly annoying and lazy on the writers' part.
 * 3) He is also an incompetent and idiotic villain as well, most notably in the episode from the tenth season.
 * 4) His humorous traits have gone from funny and entertaining to irritating and unintelligent.
 * 5) of how he originally lost his fairies was 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 what Timmy Turner has become.
 * 6) Like Cosmo and Mr. Turner, he became a too dumb to live-type character.
 * 7) Like Mr. Turner, he is severely overused due to him becoming the writers' pet for cheap laughs.
 * 8) He seems to be the only villain aside from Foop who the writers always favored over almost all the other villains.
 * 9) 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!
 * 10) He tends to talk about his mother too much.
 * 11) 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.
 * 12) His flanderization and excessive screen time is one of the main reasons why Seasons 9-10 are poorly received by fans and critics alike.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was a much better villain in the first six seasons, although it is questionable on whether he was in character or not in both the seventh and eighth seasons.
 * 2) He still has his old persona from time to time. Likewise, he still has some funny moments here and there.
 * 3) He is still a tragic character deep down due to the events of "The Origins of Denzel Crocker" from the third season, which makes his flanderization even more sadder.
 * 4) His famous catchphrase: "FAIRY GODPARENTS!!!!!"
 * 5) Carlos Alazraqui did a good job voicing him, as always. David Lewis also portrayed him amazingly in all three live-action film adaptations.
