Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodeon Part 4/10

Battle 4: Jimmy Neutron vs. Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
I know what you're thinking. "Why aren't you comparing Jimmy Neutron to Dexter's Lab?" Well, I felt like that has been overdone. Also, Jimmy Neutron was the first ever CGI Nicktoon, while Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was the first ever, and so far only, Flash-animated series from Cartoon Network Studios. However, both shows have the same clever writing you would expect from a hand-drawn cartoon at the time. Now that is out of the way, let's start the showdown!

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius started out as a feature film, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, in 2001. It was about a super-genius boy named Jimmy Neutron who must rescue the parents of Retroville from egg-shaped aliens called the Yolkians. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius did well at the box-office, and surprisingly, got nominated for the very first Oscar for Best Animated Feature, along with Shrek and Monsters Inc.

A Jimmy Neutron TV series followed shortly after, which ran from 2002 to 2006, continuing the further adventures of Jimmy and his friends. Right smack in the middle of the series, however, the show started to become noticeably darker. I find that really unusual because the original movie was rated G and, to be honest, had quite a silly plot. Also, one of these later episodes, The N Men, I found to be a knockoff of The Incredibles, which was Pixar's newest movie at the time. In that episode, the gang earned four of the five superpowers of the Parr family.
Cindy got super strength (Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible) as well as the ability to fly...
 
Libby got invisibility AND force field powers (Violet Parr)...

   

Sheen got super speed (Dashell 'The Dash' Robert Parr)...

And Jimmy had the ability to turn into an orange hulking monster whenever he got upset (Jack-Jack Parr, except Jack-Jack turned into a red goblin). They even copied that cat scene in The Incredibles!

'What was Carl's superpower?' You ask. Well, he had the ability to super burp. No one in The Incredibles had that ability, but there is one Pixar character I can think of that has a similar act: Mike Wazowski in Monsters Inc!

The next show, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, ran from 2004 to 2009, and was created by PPG (PowerPuff Girls) creator Craig McCracken. It was about an eight-year-old boy named Mac, who has an imaginary friend named Blooerguard Q Kazoo. In this world, imaginary friends become real shortly after they're thought out. When Mac's mom says that he is too old for imaginary friends, he and Bloo go to Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, an adoption center for imaginary friends, even though there's a chance that Bloo could get adopted. After a three-part TV movie, it has been declared that Bloo can stay at Foster's as long as Mac visits at least once a day. There were also quite a few memorable characters in the show, including Mr. Harriman, a stubborn rabbit who has a habit of calling everyone either Mister, Miss, or Master, Wilt, a tall imaginary friends would always lends a hand, Eduardo, an intimidating imaginary friend who's afraid of his own shadow, and Coco, a bird-airplane-plane thing that can only say 'coco'. She also lays plastic eggs that contain all sorts of prizes.
So, which one is superior? I know some of you might disagree with me, but I would have to pick 'Foster's' because it had fluid Flash animation, an organic storyline, and likable characters. Even Bloo can be likable sometimes, despite most of the time acting like a jerk. See you tomorrow when I compare Camp Lazlo to Harvey Beaks!
