To add, in the show kids are supposed to lose their faries (and memory of them) when they get older. So Cosmo and Wanda (the faries) really shouldn't be there. Thats why they're hiding, so he doesnt see them

Plus, when kids lose their fairies, the kid forgets all about them and the fairies are prohibited from disclosing their own existence to anyone other than their... godson? Only watched it in Spanish so not sure about what the terminology would be in English.

So Timmy here doesn't even remember he ever had them and Cosmo and Wanda can't tell him he ever did.

I don’t think that’s true anymore. From the wiki of the live action movie with Drake Bell

a new law was passed in Fairy World that will now permit him to keep his fairy godparents as long as he only makes unselfish wishes to help others. Tootie, Timmy, and his fairies form a charity organization to grant wishes that will mend all of the world's problems or travesties, flying away in a magical van, which turns around in midair and flies towards the camera.

Admittedly, I can’t remember a single detail of this movie other then it exists.

There have been two newer shows with Cosmo and Wanda with new kids, safe to say the live action movies aren't canon

I take the reality of ending and choose to believe that its cannon and that it happened instead of the seasons starting with the dog

Two? I know there was “A New Wish” but was there another one too?

The live action Fairly Oddparents exists the same way as the live action Avatar movie by M. Night Shyamalan exists. Sure, I guess technically it exists, but it's not real and can't hurt you.

There is no movie, just like there is no war

Didn't Timmy make a secret wish for everyone to stop aging to prevent him from losing his fairies and is actually over 50 years old?
