Fairly Oddparents: The Popular Kids and Remy

I had this thought yesterday; I started writing this done but I kept getting offscript and not getting to the point immediately. So I'll just put it plainly: how come we've never seen him interact with any of the popular kids (either Trixie, Veronica, Chad, or Tad)? The only time Remy was around either of them was when he paid Trixie to go on a date with Timmy as a part of his scheme to have Timmy get rid of Cosmo and Wanda.

It's confirmed in Remy Rides Again and Country Clubbed that Remy and Timmy go to the same school and are in the same grade. It would've been nice if he had shown more in the original series. I think there could've been an interesting dynamic he could've had with the other popular kids. The others could have been more fleshed out and had more personality to their character.

Chad and Tad don't even make a dent in my memory. Veronica and Trixie are the only ones to have more onscreen appearances and roles. Even then, the show later did flanderize some of its characters and got rid of others entirely. Maybe Remy not showing up as much was the right choice because they didn't change him, for better or worse (he stayed the same).

I think it would've been interesting if Remy was shown more as a background character in season 1, building up to Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary, aside from the plot, I don't understand why he targeted Timmy (or was shown to have beef with Timmy). Maybe the show could've had him and his family's disappearance be shown in the background or mentioned once because Remy was essentially written out of the show. Same as Dale because he appeared in one episode, and had a cameo mention in Channel Chasers before becoming an antagonist in a new wish.

Fairly Oddparents: After Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary

Since A New Wish, I have returned to the FOP fandom. Recently, I've been re-watching some old episodes when something occurred to me.

Spoiler Below

So at the end of Season 2, Episode 9 (Fairy Fairy Quite Contrary), Remy loses the magical duel, losing Juandissimo and getting his memory wiped. Timmy, feeling bad, wishes for Remy and his parents to spend more time together. The ending shows Remy and his parents on a deserted island, where he meets Juandissimo again, who is disguised as a turtle, and he briefly has a moment of realization before deciding to eat him.

In Season 5, Episode 16, Remy returns. It's later revealed that Remy's parents somehow started a resort and oil business on the deserted island and went back to ignoring him. Juandissimo, disguised as a coconut, hits Remy on the head, resulting in him regaining his memories. It's also revealed that it was Jorgen's plan to get Juandissimo to be Remy's godparent again but that's not what I'm focused on.

My question is: how long were Remy and his parents on that deserted island? The show doesn't exactly state how long they were stranded. Juandissimo says he roamed around Fairy World for many months. But how long is "many months"?

I know this might be a stupid question but I'm curious. Did no one care that the Buxaplentys were missing? They must have known they were missing because Chester asked what the deal was with their disappearance. Remy says they were on an uncharted island but did no one think they might've been dead? Did Timmy not care that he could've accidentally killed the Buxaplenty because it was on an uncharted deserted island and Remy did not have Juandissimo to help him?

Okay, yeah his parents started businesses on the island but how? How were they able to do that in the first place? Did the Yacht still have intact communication? Did they just choose to stay on the island? If they started a resort and an oil business on the island, people must've known where they were...meaning they weren't missing. Did Remy not go to school or did they hire someone to take his place like in Season 9, Episode 16 (Country Clubbed)?

It might not matter because the show's continuity is inconsistent. It might've been a one-off thing for Remy Rides Again but the thought randomly came to my head.

[Spoiler- 2x20] Odalia Blight

I was going to write a long paragraph/essay about Alador and Odalia, but just going to make this easy.

I kind of wanted Odalia to be a "better" person. Not completely changing her character, but has her being an overbearing mother/businesswoman who has a weakness for her family. She's doesn't ultimately become a good mom, but doesn't have the heart to fight or harm her family.

Like:

"Alright, you've twisted my wrists. I won't help the emperor but I'm not going to stop complaining/whining. Deal with it."

She's a reluctant helper.

Not a woman who sees her family as tool. Don't know why but I was expecting Odalia to have a Molly Weasley "Not my daughter, you *****) moment [not comparing to the two because Mama Weasley is best mom unlike Odalia.

Disappointed, but understands why they went down that road (with the show's cancellation and cut content).
