Cosmo and Wanda's marriage downfall and rebirth

I love how these two went from lovebirds, to your typical "marriage is an obligation" stereotypical trope, to lovebirds again lol

I like how at the end it's basically just "Cosmo and Wanda got therapy" which honestly slay tbh

I joked to my brother once that Anti Cosmo and Anti Wanda should have gotten more complex as characters as the show went as a reverse to Cosmo and Wanda's flanderization, and then He said "their marriage gets better over time" and I think about it all the time.

every time you brought up a "wife bad" joke I shook my fists and went "BUUUUUTCH!" like mr turner about dinkleburg

Don’t ever forgot that one of Cosmo and Wanda’s previous godchildren canonically killed Archduke Ferdinand and started World War I.

Headcannon: When Timmy forgot his faires, all the magical and outlandish adventures he went on got re-written into just him playing pretend as a kid

If that misogynist didn’t have a hand in how the girls/women are portrayed in fairly odd parents, it would have been a cool redeeming quality of Vicky if she was written to be mean to everyone but her sister.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that, before he met Wanda, Cosmo is canonically responsible for the destruction of Pompeii, sunk Atlantis into the deep ocean 9 times, and turned Xanadu turned into Pittsburgh, which removed Jorgen from being a 5-star general.

I dunno I personally thing Timmy keeping them CAPTURED AGAINST THEIR WILL FOR 50 YEARS might put a strain on their marriage. It could be that they were subconsciously attacking the only people they could, each other. With Timmy gone, that probably helped alot.

I think I would have liked the idea of Wanda being book smart and Cosmo being street smart. That would have been so cute and they could have worked better with their strengths and weaknesses. I hated that they quickly ended up hating each other in the show. It took no time that even as a kid I wondered why they were together.

Cosmo and Wanda had a perfect character dynamic right away, "We're two halves of a whole idiot". And it was downhill from there.

Okay Butch must have some marriage issues going on because why did he fuck up a happy marriage, like if you hate your marriage fine but keep that miserable crap out of our cartoons

Casmo mom is the spinning image of a toxic boy mom

1:27 Cosmo calling Wanda "pookie" gives me life Also I was entirely right in thinking you would enjoy A New Wish

I think what makes A New Wish so good is that not only are writers from Infinity Train and Craig of the Creek (two top tier shows) working for the show, but Butch Hartman isn't AS involved, only being a producer.

Future Athena yelling 70s in quick sucession has me wheezing.

Editing Athena shouting "Seventies!" over and over was great.

Cosmo’s voice was originally inspired by a used car salesman

I think the robotic fairy hybrid were translated into the Pixies, they ain't robots but they are very mathematical and square, also pixies is probably because of the similarity with pixels

After watching I've come to the conclusion that Cosmo and Wanda's marriage wasn't strained because they grew apart, it was strained PURELY BECAUSE OF TIMMY. They started happy because Timmy was a fresh face, a new start, so to speak. But then as time went on, Timmy would ask things of them that started to divide them. They would disagree on a lot of stuff about Timmy, and that would cause personal issues. However as they started having other people to talk to/interact with, they were more happy. First it was Poof, then Sparky, then Chloe, and at every step they would love each other more and more. Heck, they even say that they were too close and cramped in Timmy's fishbowl because WHO WOULDN'T BE. It seemed like, although they tried not to get found out, Timmy was the one who made them hide. Then with Hazel they seem so happy and completely free to do whatever, and when you consider that they had a 10,000 year break from Timmy, everything just kind of lines up: Timmy was draining their energy, causing them to be more aggressive with each other. The more outlets both Timmy and Cosmo and Wanda had, the happier the pair seemed to be.
