Information AboutCosmo And Wanda |
Cosmo and Wanda are Fictional Characters who are the title characters in the Nickelodeon Animated Television Series '' The Fairly OddParents ''. DESCRIPTION Cosmo and Wanda are the married fairy godparents of Timmy Turner , the main character on the show and they themselves are the secondary protagonists of the show. In Cosmo's and Wanda's Lucky Seven Saturday it was revealed that Wanda's name is Wanda Venus Fairywinkle. They disguise themselves in public, and they are distinguished from each other by their coloring; light pink for Wanda, and light green for Cosmo (unless they are transformed into goldfish, in which case they are orange and their eyes become the corresponding colors). This also applies to most of their other disguises (which all have faces) yet none of the other characters usually suspect a thing. However, several characters have noticed this, but pay it no heed. When Cosmo was disguised as a piece of cake, Timmy's dad opted to eat it, only stopping because Cosmo's screams made him lose his appetite, and another time when Timmy's dad, going through a mid-life crisis, believed he was hallucinating that his towels had faces. Vicky also noticed Cosmo and Wanda as squirrels, and remarked later in her diary that the "green squirrel" was cute, accompanied with a drawing of a green squirrel wearing Cosmo's standard shirt-and-tie. Their most common disguise is as Goldfish who live in a bowl on Timmy's Nightstand . Revealed in the 77 Secrets of the Fairly OddParents, Cosmo always thought Wanda was in control of his destiny. Cosmo was originally envisioned as a strict gentleman, but was later made into a dim-witted and hyperactive guy. In all three of the The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour episodes, the characters from Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius always think that Cosmo and Wanda are computer-generated programs. In the first crossover, Jimmy thinks that Fairy World was a computer reality and doesn't believe that Cosmo and Wanda are magical creatures (because he only believes in science). If Jimmy were to discover the truth, it is unknown if Timmy would lose Cosmo and Wanda, since Jimmy and his friends are from another reality. Their castle inside the fishbowl had been featured several times in the series; later in the series it was revealed that it has many confusing hallways and doors like a real castle. In the earlier episodes, Cosmo and Wanda were more of a team, with both acting playfully daffy. In later episodes the couple became the more formulaic smart one/stupid one, as Cosmo often comes off as oblivious to others' feelings and safety, and he often undermines his wife's attempts to protect Timmy from his own naïve and potentially dangerous wishes (also because of his extreme stupidity, and the fact that he has a wand, he has been the cause of numerous disasters from the sinking of Atlantis (nine times actually) to the explosion of Mount Vesuvius , and the corruption of St. Pittsburg (His explanation for this was that he wanted to make Atlantis cleaner, Pompeii and Herculean warmer, and St. Pittsburg more industrialized). Despite this and the fact that they quarrel from time to time, they both love each other deeply. Although Wanda is more rational of the two, she reluctantly grants even Timmy's stupidest wishes. She loves Cosmo despite his bad characteristics because he's good-hearted, he makes her laugh and as soon as he becomes aware that Wanda or Timmy are in danger he will fight to protect them. He has also been seen fighting for Wanda's honor and love against a far more skilled fairy. The only thing that can distract Wanda from her godparenting duties and her devotion to Cosmo is her addiction to chocolate, which is mentioned in several episodes and has been exploited by both Timmy and Norm to get her to do what they want. She dislikes Mama Cosma (Cosmo's mother), although Wanda's compassion and integrity once lead her to help Cosmo care for Mama Cosma when she was coping with an illness. It is revealed in "Apartnership" that if Cosmo and Wanda are apart, their magic becomes weaker. Wanda's appearance has changed slightly over the series. In the first season she was drawn with light pink skin, though eventually her skin tone changed to match Cosmo's, which is a more human-like flesh tone. In one episode (''The boy who would be Queen''), Timmy wished Cosmo to be a woman and Wanda to be a man. The resulting Cosma and '''Wando''' were still a couple, though Wando took on the appearance of a bald, working class slob while Cosma looked like a housewife of the 1960's. Their voices were unchanged, though they did find out interesting things about the opposite gender (Cosma wondering how she suddenly knew which boy bands rocked out loud while Wando wondered why he didn't mind scratching himself all over in public). This episode also revealed that Cosmo had a different nose. FAIRY FAMILY
Mama Cosma Cosmo's overprotective mother, Mama Cosma, is a domineering mother who smothers her son Cosmo and greatly dislikes Wanda. Cosmo, who had been working as a waiter at a local diner at the time, fell in love with and married Wanda, but told his mother that he was going out for some milk. By the episode "Apartnership!", Cosmo & Wanda have been married for 9,895 years, and yet they still never had kids of their own. Cosmo's father, Papa Cosmo, appeared in one cartoon when Cosmo (as a baby) accidentally turned him into a fly. He never reappeared since, probably since he was still a fly. (In the flashback sequence, Mama Cosma was taller and thinner.) Mama Cosma calls Cosmo "Cosmo-lo-lo" among many other names and bakes "I-rather-dislike-Wanda" cookies (cookies with Wanda's face on them with a pink "no" sign {Link without Title} ) ("Apartnership!"). Her reason for her disliking Wanda was revealed in the first episode in which she appeared, stating that "It's not Wanda. I'd dislike anyone who took my Cosmo-lo-lo away" and showing that Star and Twinkle (two fairies who have been waiting 9,895 years to marry Cosmo) are actually robots. Unfortunately for Wanda, this means Mama Cosma will never stop pestering her. Big Daddy Wanda's father, Big Daddy, is head of the Fairy World Mafia . He currently holds a monopoly on the garbage disposal business. In an episode where Big Daddy is kidnapped, Wanda has to take over the family business. (The kidnapper is later found out to be Mama Cosma.) Big Daddy hates Cosmo due to his stupidity and the fact that he rarely listens to Wanda, which parallels Mama Cosma's hatred of Wanda. Despite their hate for their Children 's spouses, they are in love with each other. In the episode " Big Wanda ," Big Daddy is seen sleeping with his stuffed horse head, Mr. Nay-Nay, an obvious reference to the decapitated horse's head seen in '' The Godfather ''. Cosmo seems to be addicted to Mr. Nay Nay. His wife, who is Wanda and Blonda's mother, never appears in the show. Blonda Wanda has an "identical yet somehow hotter" sister named Blonda, who looks the same except that she has blonde hair, is self-centered and lacks Wanda's affectionate nature. Blonda stars in the popular Fairy World soap opera ''All My Biceps''. In one episode, Wanda said to Blonda "Mom always liked you best". That statement was the only reference to their mother who never appeared in the series. It is also borrowed from the classic Smothers Brothers routine in which Tommy Smothers would accuse his brother Dickie of being their mother's favorite. It was revealed in the TV movie Fairy Idol that Blonda dyes her hair and she is actually a Brunette , although it would make more sense that her hair was naturally pink since Wanda and Blonda are supposedly identical. She is also supposedly the only fairy in Fairywood (the Fairyworld Hollywood) never to win a Zappy. She and Wanda hate each other but made up until Wanda won the Zappy Blonda thought she was going to afterwhich the two returned to hating each other. OTHER GODCHILDREN Cosmo and Wanda have also been fairy godparents to many other notable figures before (sometimes, oddly, during) Timmy.
Many others can be seen in the "Hassle in the Castle" episode, hanging in either the 'Hall of Infamy' (bad godchildren) or in the hall for good children. (To which Timmy belongs to is unclear: despite him having a whole room for his pictures (The Hall of Timmy, in which every picture is a good time spent with him, Cosmo and Wanda) it is located within the Hall of Infamy). COSMO'S PETS Cosmo has taken in the following pets:
Of those, Cosmo discarded Rock because the rock could not understand that Cosmo cared for Timmy more, keeps Phillip the nickel for comfort (like an imaginary friend), can make Snowball appear with his wand, and accidentally killed Carl, Cindy, and Jimmy (3 times actually). No one knows what happened to Steve. Either intentionally or coincidentally, Carl, Jimmy and Cindy (all of whom appeared in "Sleep Over and Over") share names with characters from '' The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron '', a Nickelodeon show that has crossed over with ''The Fairly OddParents'' three times.
