Okay I just watched the movie on June 17 after finishing the series on Dailymotion and I don't understand how Osmosis Jones didn't do too well in theaters. I think I saw on a YouTube video's comments that it was probably the live-action parts if I remember correctly.
But when I saw the ending of the movie on YouTube a day or so before I started watching the series on Dailymotion, I didn't end up crying. Even when Shane was crying about the fact that her dad might not make it. So either I wasn't paying attention too much, or I hadn't seen the entire movie yet, but the ending brought happy tears to my eyes and it is one of my favorite movies.
If you haven't seen the movie and you only saw the TV series, I'd suggest you give the movie a try, even if people say it sucked. Because I was torn between watching it and watching it another time even after finishing the animated series.
Though I saw a few clips on YouTube of the movie and didn't find it too bad, I still wasn't too sure if I'd like certain parts of the movie, but to be honest after seeing it, I ended up loving it. So now I'll be making Osmosis Jones and Ozzy and Drix fanfictions. And here is my first Osmosis Jones one.
If you wanna see my first Ozzy and Drix fanfic, go onto the Cartoons category, go to the 'A-Z' button, click/tap 'O' and go to Ozzy and Drix. Or just go to my profile on here and check my published works. Anyway, here is my very first Osmosis Jones fic. Enjoy!
Note: This story will use terms also used in the television series, like the word for money being "carbs", etc.
It was quiet and peaceful in the City of Frank after Osmosis "Ozzy" Jones and Drix - also known as Drixenol - had defeated Thrax. Well, mostly Ozzy defeated Thrax after they landed on Shane's eye and had that big fight.
After Ozzy had saved Frank from Thrax's reign of terror, there was really nothing to do in the city except fight germs that invaded Frank's body.
Ozzy wasn't working very much, his pay was really low compared to how much he'd earn with bigger viruses and such. He was happy that Frank was safe, but at the same time he'd wished that there was more crime-fighting to do.
He didn't really understand why he enjoyed fighting off bigger villains, but he knew he got some sort of thrill from doing so. He loved the rush of adrenaline he'd get when he was in a fight with them, and the bigger and badder the enemies, the better. Except sometimes he'd regret feeling that way when he found himself in a sticky situation, whether he was dangling from something to avoid his doom or almost losing his balance for whatever reason during a fight where losing his balance would also lead to his doom.
Basically, anything that led to his demise gave him regret over thinking the bigger and badder enemies were better. But he still thought that way when a new enemy arrived and he didn't know why. Maybe some sick, twisted thing in his mind made him feel that way? But what would that thing be? Adrenaline he'd felt when he was in a near-death experience, not knowing whether or not he'd make it? He didn't know. All he knew was that he always got a rush of adrenaline whenever he was in dangerous situations.
Within the last few days after Thrax's defeat, the citizens of Frank would call him crazy for wanting more bigger, tougher enemies to fight, but he didn't care. Maybe he was crazy, but he liked it. It at least gave him the motivation to get out of bed early if they needed him to get to work earlier, or to stay up later at night if they needed him to help with a night investigation or something.
Currently Jones was at the donut store, ordering himself some donuts to go. Drix, on the other hand, was waiting for Ozzy like usual. He sighed as he noticed the man at the counter giving him a beverage that looked like coffee in a clear plastic cup with a lid.
Must he always get what he calls a 'Carbuccino'? Drix thought to himself with a roll of his eyes. Just as he had finished his thought, he noticed Ozzy was no longer at the counter and jumped when he heard the driver's side door open. Ozzy noticed this and laughed.
"What?" He asked, holding his coffee and a paper bag that was obviously filled with donuts, "Did I scare ya?"
"Not in the slightest bit, Jones." Drix replied, rolling his eyes, "You just startled me is all."
"Ain't gettin' startled the same as gettin' scared, Drix?" Ozzy asked, a smile still on his face as he raised an eyebrow.
"No, according to the dictionary, being startled is feeling sudden shock or alarm." Drix explained matter-of-factly, "Also according to the dictionary, being scared is being fearful or frightened."
"Okay, Webster, I didn't ask you to explain to me what each word means." Ozzy retorted as he got into his car and put his Carbuccino in a cup holder, placing the bag of donuts on his lap as he closed the door and got buckled in, "It was a yes or no answer."
"Oh my bad, it didn't sound like you knew the difference." Drix argued, "I thought you'd want to know."
"If I wanted to know, I would've checked the dictionary!" Jones argued back, quickly slamming the car in reverse, the sudden jerk forward causing Drix to let out a "Whoa!" as Ozzy backed out from the place where he was parked.
"Would you just chill, Jones?!" Drix questioned, glaring at the white blood cell, "You're going to get us killed!"
"Sorry Drix, guess I got a little carried away." Ozzy apologized as he pulled out into the road, "Y'know, 'cause I haven't had an adrenaline rush in days!"
"It's been three days since Thrax's defeat!" Drix yelled, "Three days and you're already looking for adrenaline?!" And I thought you were mad at me. He thought instead of saying it, in case Ozzy got any ideas. He wanted to avoid another wisecrack. That is, if Ozzy could come up with one.
"Well duh!" Ozzy replied as if it were obvious, "It's what keeps me alive and doin' my job! If I didn't have it, my job would be boring! ...And possibly my life."
"Well I think your life would be much safer if you didn't drive like a crazed maniac." Drix said, once again matter-of-factly, "We could either hit something and cause Frank pain, or we could end up dying in some terrible accident!"
"Oh c'mon, I'm careful!" Ozzy said coolly, putting his shades on, "If you remember those high-speed chases I've been in then I ain't gonna hurt nobody, nor end up hurtin' myself!"
"Well if you say so, Ozzy..." Drix said, a hint of hesitance in his voice. Then, realizing Jones was looking at him instead of the road as he had finished his sentence, the pill looked straight ahead and shouted, "Truck!!"
Suddenly Ozzy looked back at the road as he screamed and swerved into the next lane to avoid the vehicle, only to realize that there was no truck in front of them when he heard Drix chuckling in the seat next to him, his hand over his mouth.
"Yeah, real funny." Ozzy said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes, reaching in his bag for a chocolate donut, "Are you tryna get us both killed for real?!"
"Well, no...but you should really be watching the road to avoid accidents." Drix explained, "It's called road safety."
"Yeah, and another thing about road safety you should learn is to never scream that there's a truck unless you wanna take the chance of killin' us both!" Ozzy retorted, glaring at Drix before looking back at the road.
"Okay I'm sorry Ozzy." Drix apologized, "I'll never do that again, I promise... But your scream was priceless, just like a little girl-" With a warning glare from Ozzy, Drix decided to shut his mouth, just to avoid hearing him complain.
Okay, chapter one is done! I'm thinking of looking up diseases to see which one I should have them fight in this story. I was originally thinking of having Thrax return somehow from an egg, but then I decided to not do that and just go with another disease/virus.
As you may or may not know, I threw in a reference to the episode where Hector got acne. And yes, if you guessed Drix mentioning Ozzy's screaming like a girl, you're correct. Once I put the thing of Ozzy screaming then swerving into another lane, I remembered that scene where Ozzy screamed like a girl and was teased for it a little, so I just had to add that reference.
