Why Jimmy and Cindy Could’ve Been More 

How I feel about Jimmy Neutron is really awesome.

Cool

Probably the one Nickelodeon show I remember and liked the most outside of SpongeBob

He's pretty cool and smart

I like it.

It was so stylized it didnt fit in with the rest of the animation at the time anyhow so it doesnt seem dated. In my opinion anyway☺️. But yea i agree. It looks great

The studio worked with their limitations instead of against them. The result is a show that, in a similar way to a good video game, looks both dated and appealing.

The 1st season didnt age well but the ones after that certainly did 💯

It's ironically very retro.

@@arthurm.358 That's what I always say. Season 3 is gorgeous.

There’s also an episode where the gang goes into the future and the two of them are married. Of course, it was a dark timeline sort of deal, but I think it shows something

@@lightninjohn5651 I remember that episode I remembered the gangsta paradise meme of jimmy screaming and made a how they did a meta joke about how long commercials are.

Yeah I was thinking about that news show one. It then cut to them (again live) very obviously physically flirting (if that makes sense). Wasn't that the last regular episode aired? Cindy kissed Jimmy on the cheek at the end of it, right?

there was going to be a season 4 where they would’ve made it official, but unfortunately we never got that

@@professorhaystacks6606 Jimmy kissed cindy on the lips at the end and they walked off holding hands

tbf jimmy and cindy always had that with each other, even going back to the things like the movie and first season! you could tell they always liked each other, and it does improve a lot in the third season of the show! it’s a shame we never got a season 4 where they would’ve went official with their relationship

@@ogome2927 facts your right

Apparently they were officially supposed to become a couple in the final abandoned season.

Ngl, I honestly feel like this show was a little ahead of its time

@@ogome2927 that would've made the show weird because #1. They're kids #2. They still got their whole childhood ahead of them #3. I just don't see them getting together until they've finished putting all their differences aside until they get along better

Well said!

@@TheAlphaJayShow Meh, not really. lol i mean i personally don't think so.

Well, in the cancelled Season 4 Jimmy and Cindy would admitted that they love each other, and they would be respectfull and caring each otter.

absolutely

Oh hell yeah. Maybe add some Sheen/Libby stuff too.

Their dynamic was top tier. An energetic dumbass, cowardly dumbass and sassy girl tired of both of them. You could make any scenario with them happen and it'd be hilarious

I think we all know the jimmy neutron character who deserved a spin off. My boy skeet

What happened?

@@praisethesun9014 Ant Bully came out and doomed DNA

Would make for a nice Rise and Fall-esque sort of video one day

@@90sNath huh, didn't even know they worked on that movie. Indeed stupid, if pixar stopped after Bugs' Life we'd miss some of the best animation of all time. and goddangit, why is it always ants? This is the THIRD ant movie I've heard of and none of them are even that great. If Pixar can't nail it, idk why others would even bother. At least make a Finding nemo clone lol.

Its dumb season 4 was cancelled but if fairly odd parents taught me anything better to end while strong then go on into ruin

Glad to do so!

So was rose and Jake from American dragon

@@lisaswayne8241 so the man figuratively drooling her on first appearance just went over your head

Yeah, I think that’s why so many people take appeal to this, as well as why this relationship development throughout the show feels realistic!

They would have become a couple in the next season , if the show hadn’t been cancelled .

I remember when Sheen, Carl, and Libby were stranded, and Sheen got mad at Carl for hiding snacks behind their backs, to which Sheen threw it away then saw an "emergency button", an was like, "This is an emergency! PUSH IT!", only for it to shoot a torpedo and kill off innocent people in a submarine.

Think about this scene for a minute. Your stranded on a hovercraft in the middle of the ocean, no food water and out of gas. See a button marked EMERGENCY, thinking this must be a flare or transponder or at least a survival kit of sort, for this scenario. No, it fires off a TORPEDO of all things and destroys a nearby cruise ship killing innocent people... The look of horror on their faces sinking in the realization what just happened. Went from desperate to dark real quick.

@@samuelmoore9203 yeah my mouth was wide open seeing that scene again in this video, i had forgot about that

Needless to say, it's my second or third favorite, after "Win, Lose, and Kaboom!" and maybe "The League of Villains!" Still, "Stranded" is awesome! I've never met one person who said this episode wasn't good!

I love how harsh some of the insults were in shows back then, the right balance of truth but I'm only saying it cause I know you/know that you can give as good as you get.

this whole episode was comedic gold

I broke when he answered "Why did you have to go there?" 💀💀

Cindy was so savage no one dished it out like she did.

I was hoping for someone to mention this!! I hope Alpha sees this because that's completely true.

I always had a theory that one of them always liked the other but it wasn't mutual until that memory was deleted.

in the prequel film to the series, you can see that when Cindy doesn't have to maintain her status as a Jimmy-hater, she has warm feelings for him and cheers him up, telling him that he really is better than her. All their alleged hatred is really that Cindy was the smartest until Jimmy came into class and dominated, so she tried to humiliate him to raise her self-esteem, but still admired him, and Jimmy was just trying to resist her attacks and therefore convinced himself that he did not like such girls. I think the Shin moment and the love drink episode didn't make him think otherwise, but only loosened the barrier between them.

🤔

Actually, i don't think deleting that particular memory makes any difference. The clue that shows they are really into each other is the following scene, in which Cindy mentions them pictured on an beach, walking holding hands and kissing, and jimmy says he also depicted that memory. That being said, means both of them had that same idea/memory, because neither of them where able to see each other's memories. So they, by luck, happened to have a similar image of them, showing to us spectators they've always been crazy about each other

That's a great theory

One of the creators stated that they have always liked each other, it just became more obvious as the show went on. You can even see it in the movie.

I haven't watched the whole series in a while but I remember having a theory that either Jimmy or Cindy always liked the other but the other didn't until that episode were the trait that made that person hate the other was deleted. I can't remember who I thought always liked the other.

I thought I was the only one to think that

I always thought Cindy was secretly impressed by Jimmy's genius (but at first denied it, opting for bad boy Nick because that's what all the girls liked at the time.). I think Jimmy did not like Cindy in the slightest,, and why would he when she was such a bully to him? So I agree with the deleted trait was actually Jimmy's, because Cindy always loved him (just didnt know what that emotion was and tried to suppress it with meanness and then didnt know how to express it at all when they did become quasi-frienemies/allies. Notice how she never truly had another boy that occupied her mind the way Jimmy did while Jimmy had multiple crushes)

I played Linus in a school version of the Peanuts Broadway show a few weeks back and had a crush on the actress playing Sally, despite the fact that in the actual source material Sally has a crush on my character. Funny how that turns out.

this happened with helga didn't it

I kinda wish it got one more final season so that these characters and their arcs can come to a close. Because it ain’t fair that the show got canceled and left several episodes, with more questions.

@@jadenmamangon9016 In the Peanuts comic strip there were some really early ones before the characters were completely figured out. Sally was a baby when she was added then she was aged up to 5 years old and everyone else stayed the same age. There was this one gag where Linus did the math on a fence and said in 16 years she'll be able to date me. That would be out of character in the later strips. LOL

@@FreshZCORD Yep

Lol yeah I know right it's been a lot

To be fair, Actual children don't go on dates. That's more something you do when you are in your late teens. Why it get teased so much? I have no clue.

Some shows skewed towards a teen audience have shown to do well with the topic.

@@TheAlphaJayShow yeah but other shows just ruin that idea which sucks

Which I like.

Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob are both largely episodic. These types of character development wouldnt really work. As soon as they started breaking that rule (FairlyOdd with Poof and then the Dog and then that girl) people dropped the show

It works for Jimmy Neutron, cause they were building it up, but not everything needs character growth or development especially a show like SpongeBob, that's a comedy series that's more for entertainment when you want a good laugh not to see characters grow, though the Fairly Odd parents, used to have character moments for Timmy when he learned from his wishes back in the first four seasons.

Didn't Helga have some kind of character growth (I'm not meaning the exact same but a big character growth) like that at the end of Hey Arnold? I've only seen up to season 1 of Hey Arnold so I could be wrong

this and the love potion episode are prolly the most iconic to me in terms of what they were about! they were episode that focused on the relationships and dynamics of the characters which is what makes it stand out for me!

At least he got one 😂

I felt a tug myself

“Well, maybe E stands for extra fuel, TELL ME E MEANS EXTRA FUEL! E means empty, dude, we’re out of fuel.” “The needle was on E. Yeah, I figured that must stand for ‘end’”

CLICK THROUGH RATE BAYBEEE

I do want to see him review the second Jimmy Timmy Power Hour movie. You know, the best one out of the trilogy.

@@ShockwaveFPSStudios the 2nd is the worst in my opinion or second worst the third one is pretty bad

@@pixilatedink.7920 nah for me it goes like this; the second one, the first one and then the third one which i think is the worst out of the three

Bit of a Rant, but not meant hateful aaaat allll: Amphibias Anne and Sasha just having been slightly-hinted-on to be Lesbians... this kinda rubs me the wrong way. Owl House and Amphibia are blood-related shows, the creators are very close to each other. I wanna PRAISE how Owl House handles Romance BUT now we have it's Sister-Show do the exact same thing? GirlxGirl again - and now 'in all of the cases'?! Of course only a bigot or idiot could have a problem with the number 2 (as in 'Lesbian Couples at all existing), but i dont. I have a problem with the Number 100 as in %. The Representation becomes less Healthy and the Praise becomes less valueable when the thing you can pull off well is just this 1 thing.

@@ogome2927 Exactly, the second one’s the best

it was such a creative joke

And don't forget; "anybody with a brain knows 'E' stands for...uh, eh, uh...'ELP YOURSELF TO SOME GAS!!'" 😂😂

It’s a very 2000s way of looking at dynamics so I can see that!

It's kinda like Ron and Hermione, or Percy anc Annabeth in Harry Potter and Percy Jackson

I thought it was perfect in Rick and Morty though. The Dr said what we were all thinking directly to the character (rick). It was interesting seeing his reaction.

But Sheen and Carl are literally a bunch of idiots. They of all people would need it spelled out for them

I could just imagine a MCU style lullaby for Cindy to tell Jimmy, but I wouldn't know what she would say exactly...

Eh, he didn't design the labels to help other people cuz he never intended on other people flying the hovercar. It just mattered that he knew what each button was for

Yes, they do

@@justjoannak Eww, this is so disgusting

Right. If they want to be together, they still have go to school, high school, graduate high school, go to college, graduate college, save up enough money and then they can be together

i think it's because the writers were actually going to make them be on a relationship on the cancelled season 4, maybe they were saving it for there but then the ant bully happened and the rest is history

@@davidpotts4684 If Cindy really had love for him, she wouldn't done it and wouldn't try to sell Jimmy to the police for fame and reward. Is this the act of a loving person? No. There is no smell of love here. The fact that everyone says that she loves him is a lie. She's a villainess, and that's what villains do - they eliminate everyone they don't like. It's a shame Jimmy didn't kill her in the episode when he became the orange monster. He would have stopped her once and for all, because with Cindy’s behavior she is unlikely to realize her behavior in the future. She'll go much further and things will get worse. By killing her, Jimmy stopped her forever, so she wouldn't go much further. But Betty is the kindest and most beautiful girl, she would never do that. She and Jimmy look cute, she always shows kindness and mercy, and when she kisses him, for him it is not just pleasure, but heavenly pleasure. He's better off being with her

Seconded, I really like seeing their relationship

omg yes i always loved them together

Same!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH WHAT? i never noticed that lmao but NOW i hear it :D

Вау, а еще инсайды будут?

in my honest opinion i thought the dynamic between jimmy and cindy was prolly better than the helga and arnold one mainly bc of how close they were and the fact that jimmy himself only really had one other love interest in the show and that was betty who didn’t really love him back! (ik there was april but she was only used in one episode so i don’t count her) ik arnold had one who didn’t, but arnold in general had loads and came off a bit as a simp who under minded helga, unlike jimmy and cindy where jimmy in some episodes didn’t go for cindy not bc of other girls, but mainly due to him focusing on other efforts and all!

@@ogome2927 facts you aint lyying arnold was kind of a simp I always liked Jimmy a little bit better plus Cindy wasn't being all over dramatic like Helga and real talk Helga qas a bit annoying if you asked me she should have flat out told arnold in the later episodes but that never happend

@@Jac735 yes true! the dynamic between jimmy and cindy was just more normal i feel like, and it wasn’t as confusing i feel in comparison to arnold and helga really

@@Jac735 Helga didn't sell anyone out for fame and reward like that villainess Cindy. Therefore, what everyone says that the latter, that is, Cindy, loves the main character is a lie

@user-gd8ge1gq7d u can tell by the first few episodes she is trying to compete and play with a litte

Originally planned it for Valentines' Day

Why wouldn't you label a button like that?

Even better than Danny and Sam.

@@maxmeidl4909 Arnold and helga will always be #1

I know right?!!

It would be so cool if there is ever any sign of a continuation to it one day in the long ahead future. We can hope and pray especially when we all begin a new life. And then if it does when that time comes then hope it will give a really good happy ending for all 5 of those main ones in it.

Thanks for the support bro!

I think your right.

It was Jimmy. It started with "Extreme dislike of girls" so it wouldn't make sense for it to be Cindy's trait.

@@jamesb.6197 So one of them is misogynistic 🤨

@@Geminisparkles "Extreme Dislike of girls Who dislike boys"

@@Geminisparkles I always knew Jimmy was a gamer 🔥🔥🔥

No problem!

She lied so she could argue with Jimmy is the only plausible explanation if she is smart at any age.
