#danny phantom reboot

[geekgirles]

You know, if Danny Phantom ever got rewritten/rebooted and they wanted to include his iconic DP and circumvent the whole "let's recreate the portal accident just to give our hero a cool logo" thing, all they really need to do is have Jack and Maddie—the "name everything after ourselves" enthusiasts that they are—design each member of the family's jumpsuits with their initials. In fact, to prevent the fact that no one can tell both Dannys are connected no matter how obvious it is from becoming even more ridiculous, just like the accident altered his appearance, it could also alter the initials on Danny's suit. Maybe, they go from a simple DF, to the classic ghost-like DP we all know and love. You know, just a simple idea to include his logo without overcomplicating things or wasting budget money.

Ladies, gentlemen, assembled nobility, people of the jury, Samantha Manson.

This is but a small sampling of her expansive wardrobe, and maybe I’ll come back and add some more outfits.

My version of Sam is confident and self assured. She knows exactly who she is and what she wants from life, and she’s willing to fight for it. She’s still a vegan, and still encourages the lifestyle, but she’s less militant about it around people who respect her diet. She’s not afraid to throw hands when people don’t respect her, or others. Those big boots aren’t called shit kickers for nothing. She’s dabbled with wicca, and collects esoteric books on the occult. She also likes using retro tech, like a Walkman and vinyl record player, mostly because it drives Tucker crazy.

She has a fascination with horror, both the classics, and more modern stuff. She’s definitely the kind of girl who wore fake fangs for a whole year, without considering the moral dilemma of being a vegan and cosplaying like a creature who subsists entirely on blood. She’s also the kind of girl to punch a homophobe.

The physiological horror!!!

I don't care about Bitch f<ck man says!!!

Give me Blood,guts, and a Visexion!!

part of me so desperately wants a Good animated danny phantom reboot. aimed at a slightly older demographic (aka ppl who grew up w the show), cool animation, and exploration of the deeper themes the fandom has been screaming about for over a decade. something akin to the new scott pilgrim series.

but then i remember bitch fartman is still alive and he would stop at nothing to slap his dumbass name on the project.

Please enjoy the updates to the Danny portion of the new banner. I’m enjoying the art upgrades. Next is Tucker

[methoughtsphantom]

Jason “my family doesn’t know im alive” Todd and Danny “my family doesn’t know I’m dead” Fenton going alongside each of their plans my beloved. like Danny will absolutely go head-to-head with all of Gotham to support his new best friend on all his crime lord endeavors while he drags Jason to also attend collage with him. They are roommates and there never seems to a mention of family from either side. It’s an unspoken understanding they have. They met because Crime alley as a ghost lair thrummed with so much loneliness, it was at first the perfect place for Danny to hide his ecto signature in. But then he saw the dumbass whose lair it was lean his motorcycle just a tad too much when making a sharp turn to an alley, he sweeped the floor through a lifted chain link that passed his body but not his helmet. Yep that’s right the red thing got stuck. Danny who at the moment happened to be watching through his window snorted. Much to his horror because if not a ghost that dude could’ve gotten his head flung off.

Still, the scene was ridiculous.

On a whim he irrationally sees the police closing in on the guy and panicked at the thought of the guy using intangibility to free himself so Danny phased them both through his apartment wall and left the guy sprawled in his couch. Jason didn’t freak out but that’s normal when one’s got a concussion, one the guy immediately denied having as Danny laid out the medical supplies. The idiot proceeded to almost flatten four steps to the door with his stubbornness. He also said “I’m asexual” in the most deadpan voice as Danny dropped him back in the couch.

Danny sighed. Clearly though, he’d done so too early in the night because the guy kept trying to go, kept trying to knock Danny out, kept trying to slash him with knifes Danny didn’t know he had stashed. He’d only disarmed the guy from his guns. The visible ones apparently, cause at one point the guy did take out a gun and shoot until the ammo ran out and then teetered the thing like it was an art prop and hit his moon lamp.

Danny "yeah you aren’t officially my friend until you’ve tried to kill me" fenton my guys.

Anyways both keep having the same argument over if Danny technically kidnapped Jason or not. Danny holds the fact that the police at least didn’t see the guy make the ridicule. Jason argued that happened cause he was sporting a concussion. Danny argued he got that after.

Jason at first thinks the guy's a meta, but no. Danny introduces himself, sheepily now that he recognizes this is who the lair he invaded is from. He bandages him and tries to cook for him. If Danny didn’t have ice powers he most certainly would’ve burned the apartment. Jason then proceeds to kick him out of his own kitchen and make them both enchiladas. It’s the most normal both had in a while with another person and the air seems oddly settled. From then on, Jason constantly invited himself over, under the pretense that this was his territory and therefore he could drop in unannounced. Danny who has actual powers says he only allows this because Jason cooks very well.

Danny stays away from the crime fighting business unless his buddy is in deep shit he can’t get himself out. Also it’s Danny’s turn to cover for his vigilante friend which Sam and Tucker give him so much shit for. (but also advice)

And they were roommates. (omg) Danny effectively derails Jason’s big comeback plans by casually dropping ghost lore every two days. Like,

Jason, talking about how he doesn’t want Bats snooping on his territory:

Danny: Just don’t let them in

Jason: ??

Danny: yeah!! Hasn’t Batman died and got revived??? You can totally kick out death touched people you don’t want entering on your lair.

Jason: …I can?

Danny: Yep dude, your lair’s supposed to feel safe.

Jason: wait does that mean I can kick you out?

Danny: First this is my apartment. Second, im dead, not dead touched. Third, it’s too late to get rid of me. bitch.

Anyways Jason is super excited. You mean to tell him he can actually deny people over to his territory haunt?? (Yes it’s only to people who have died and came back but still!! The sample size is exactly the type of people he doesn’t want to see—!)

Joker my beloathed can’t step foot in Crime Alley.

(Jason’d feel a lot safer if the clown was dead but the possibility of his murderer turning into a ghost and their little loophole not applying on the clown is too scary to contemplate.)

Anyways, Jason loves experimenting with the power. It can go from simply making people shudder and not want to enter crime Alley to straight up not letting them enter like there’s an invisible wall blocking the way.

Jason because he’s hurt that Bruce never even patrols Crime Alley and also because he’s petty put B under the category of “invisible wall” blacklist. His reasoning is that the man doesn’t even attempt to enter Crime Alley. To him it’s surely just a place shadowed in tragedy. (anyways that’s it’s the place he met Jason)

Ironically, Jason totally forgets that Batman does venture into Crime Alley one day in the whole year. The day he met Jason.

Okay. He didn’t forget at first. The first year Jason remembers cause it was only a few months till then but then the next— Jason forgets that today’s the anniversary of the day’s Bruce’s parents died. He forgets to allow B in when he feels a slight tug and dismiss the feeling that prompts Bruce to investigate because he literally can’t enter Crime Alley. He starts the trialsTM, he scouts on the very edge and sees people the whole day enter and get out and cross with no problem but Bruce can’t.

It’s literally just Bruce.

Time to call Constantine, i guess.

DpxNinjago:

So, mentioning when Danny was first found.

It was during the time that the ninja(-Lloyd ofc) were teachers. Was there a reason for them to bring Danny on the field trip?(assuming he was brought on the field trip)

They brought him because he’s a TA (teacher’s assistant) for all of them. It’s mostly just keeping the kids in check. Also the subjects they taught was based off something on Pinterest but I could see these being accurate. (Kai being history doesn’t help since history is my favorite subject).

DpXNinjago Season 3: Prev / Next

2 things about the season 3 designs.

Yes I’m giving them different Gi for this season, only because those have actual lore behind them, but for most others I won’t cause that’s too many to design. I’ll also be designing them as I go cause character lineups burn me out. Danny’s techno Gi came from the same place his ectoplasm juice boxes do. Clockwork.

Also “Mr Cole is the Worst” “I heard that” is something I quote all the time because it’s hilarious to me.

[twisted-art-wounders]

Whats this back on my bullshit again with my own Danny Phantom Reboot? You bet your spooks it is!

[kradeiz]

With all the DPxDC crossovers here I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone take a stab at giving Danny the Absolute treatment. That is, reimagining his story with one crucial element removed.

My pitch: Danny without the ghost zone.

In this universe, there is no separate dimension that only ghosts inhabit. They're all in our world but can't be seen by people most of the time.

Jack and Maddie still built the portal, believing in a ghost zone, but all it did was collect ambient ghost energy and release it onto Danny. After that it just went inert.

Not only is this a big change in how the DP universe works but it would give another challenge to Danny. He can't simply catch ghosts and release them into the Ghost Zone. Instead he's left with three options.

Help resolve the ghost's issues, letting them find peace and/or move on.

Destroy them.

Trap them in the thermos and leave them there until 1 or 2 are possible.

Being forced to keep ghosts imprisoned indefinitely or flat-out destroy them would take its toll on Danny, and depending on what his support system is like in this universe, could make things even worse for him.

(Irt support personally I like some variation of this.)

[oatmealaddiction]

Has there ever been a more frustrating show than Danny Phantom? Like the greatest idea for a superhero show ever, and it's weighed down by its stagnant "wannabe-vector" art style, Nickelodeon's discomfort with mentioning death in any capacity, blatant conservative misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, and a show runner who wanted the show to be Star Wars so bad, he put the planet Hoth in the after life. It does everything in its power to knee-cap its potential at every turn, and people are still making fanart despite all of that, because the concept is just that juicy.

[casperheights]

I redid him again (I really hope this’ll be the last time)

[beyondflashpoint]

So, I know that the results of the poll were conclusively for Jazz, and I do plan to get to her Monday, but I started the sketches for these like right after I posted the poll, and I love the swimsuit design and the lil’ stuffed demon, so you’re getting more Sam to hold you over for the weekend. Sorry not sorry.

Except for the five of you who correctly voted for moar Sam. I’ll probably end up doing more doodles between polls. But meantime, anybody wanna talk to me about my redesign concept? Any background artist want to collaborate? Any screenshots you’d like to see redrawn in my style? Talk to me Phandom. I will listen.

[terrestrialnoob]

For any Danny Phantom reboot, I'd rather have a Spiderverse/TMNT Mutant Mayhem/Nimona-type, hyper-stylized animated movie than anything live action (or the real way we need Danny Phantom The Movie: Stop Motion Animated). Live action would have to be 80% CGI anyway for all the ghost villains, sci-fi weapons, and superpower effects. It'd have to be another Marvel-esk "Actors on a Green-Screen Set" movie (100% why Tom Holland is getting attention for it). Danny Phantom was designed to be animated and even live action would have to rely on animation, so it should just, stay animated.

I’m remaking my banner, no Tucker for now because he’s refusing to look like himself in hd 🥲

Frightmare and MY take on it

(@geekgirles and I were chatting about this, but thought I’d go more in-depth)

If I had to choose ANY episode to rewrite from Danny Phantom s3 (aside from Urban Jungle, but that’s a whole other post) it would be Frightmare. In a HEARTBEAT. Just because of the SHEER POTENTIAL that a dream ghost and dream horror has, and the character growth we could have gotten!

When I watched Frightmare for the first time, I loved it. I thought it was a good and solid episode, especially for s3. But after watching shows like She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power, Gravity Falls, The Owl House and DuckTales 2017 (iykyk the episodes I’m talking about for all those shows) where they did similar dream/false reality plots like Frightmare… I now see how much potential was WASTED with Frightmare. And here is MY take on Frightmare/how it should have gone.

First off, it would be a special. Honestly, this and Undergrowth’s episodes deserved to be specials (Vortex… not so much). It would still start how it did in canon, in Danny’s POV and a regular day for him, but it would just be a little… off. Maybe his parents are more attentive and less biased to ghosts, maybe Jazz is a little less overbearing, but nothing too major to really raise Danny’s suspicions and he’d just brush it off (maybe he’d see a change in his parents’ attitude to ghosts and Phantom as a sign they might accept him when he tells them and it isn’t taken out of his hands), and he goes to school and meets up with Tucker. They go through the school day like normal, but there are little things that are just not right—the clock is a little too loud, the time is a little bit blurred, his classmates are a little bit too nice to him and his teachers a little bit too forgiving, his grades are a little bit better, Tucker’s a little more flat—but again, all things Danny can brush off. Except, not quite because Danny sees things that almost trigger his ghost sense but not quite—a green shape darting out of a view, a starry silhouette that’s gone when he looks back, the feeling of red eyes watching him and a whisper in the back of his mind, a voice talking to him, a figure out of the corner of his eye that disappears when he turns to it. Just all those little things that just build up and raise his suspicions, but it’s all fine, everything’s fine, right?

Then the moment in the cafeteria happens, just like in canon—Dash is nice to him and Tucker, everyone treats Danny better, he’s well-liked and accepted for who he is, and when Fright Knight attacks, everyone cheers for Danny and accepts he has powers and is half-ghost, which is definitely something Danny has always wanted underneath the teenage desire of popularity to be accepted and seen for who he is, and he fights Fright Knight—except at the end he notices the green shapes again, that starry form and disappearing figure and the feeling he’s being watched increases, that something not right pinging in the back of his head. But he ignores it and heads back to school, transforming back and learning Sam is his girlfriend (which is the one thing that didn’t ping as wrong, that Sam being his girlfriend just feels right to Danny) and they go to kiss… until Danny notices something in the hallway.

He decides to investigate despite his friends waving him off as nothing being wrong, following his gut and that something isn’t right… and he sees a version of himself, telling him to wake up, that this is all a dream and Amity Park is in danger. Sam and Tucker arrive and tell Danny that Danny is a fake and trying to trick him but the other Danny insists he’s a part of Danny’s consciousness not under the dream and fighting to wake up, that he needs to wake up, but his friends insist that he’s lying, that everything is perfect, that Amity Park doesn’t need him. And that is what fully tips Danny off, as his friends know that he would never abandon Amity Park to an unknown danger if he could help it, even if it is a trick, as little things add up about Tucker and Sam’s behaviour… including how they nearly kissed in front of everyone, when Sam isn’t comfortable with such public displays. Now realising that something is definitely wrong, Danny demands what’s going on… and that’s when things get horrific >:)

Nocturne, using “Sam” and “Tucker”, controls them as the surroundings blur and twist, the other students becoming faceless shadows, colours darkening and shadows sharpening, as Nocturne tells Danny he hoped he wouldn’t wake up, that while he was impressed he thought that Danny wouldn’t be fighting as much, as Danny remembers what happened before—everyone slowly falling asleep, him trying to stay awake, facing against Nocturne… and then the “perfect” day that is actually a dream turned nightmare as Nocturne, seeing that, introduces himself and announces his intentions. Danny transforms to fight Nocturne but he summons Sleepwalkers and uses Tucker and Sam to fight against Danny, and he fights against the Sleepwalkers, unable to fight Sam and Tucker even if it’s not them as Nocturne taunts him about wanting acceptance and love from his peers and his family and friends, musing about his fears as Danny fights before the dream twists and becomes a nightmare—a nightmare of Danny having to watch his family and Sam and Tucker die and be unable to save them over and over in horrific ways as they scream for him, a nightmare of his hometown being destroyed whether it’s by Pariah Dark or Undergrowth or another, stronger ghost or the ghost he always feared as it shifts into Danny’s worst fear, his worst nightmare.

Dan.

Dan shows up, but not the real Dan—rather, the manifestation of every single one of Danny’s fears, of him not being good enough, of him being exactly what he always feared he’d become and that his parents were right all along about ghosts, that Vlad was right about them being alike, that he hadn’t changed his future, that he was a monster. As he and “Dan” fight, Nocturne still taunting him, as it reaches a point where Danny might fail, he gains the strength to fight back, to show how much he’s grown, that while he’s always had this fear and always wants acceptance from his parents, he knows who and what he is, has accepted himself, that he will never become Dan or anything like him, that he isn’t a monster, that he is and always will be himself, be half-ghost and half-human, be a hero, be Danny Fenton and Phantom, and that he will wake up and defeat Nocturne, because he will never, ever give up fighting or protecting his hometown and the people he loves, no matter what.

At that, he defeats Dan (with a Wail, his ice or even a punch), and with Dan’s—and Nocturne’s—defeat, Danny wakes up. And that ends the first half of the special.

The second half is Danny returning back to Amity Park, evading Nocturne and his army of drones as they search for Danny, now wide awake, and waking up Tucker, Sam and Jazz. In each of their dreams, their “perfect” dreams turn into nightmares, where they face against their respective fears, insecurities and demons (Tucker’s jealously and selfishness in the form of his ghost half that also has elements of his king self, Sam’s guilt and judgmental/hypocritical nature in the form of her plant self, Jazz’s self-blame and pushiness in the form of her own critical self that blames her for not being there for Danny and not saving him from the Portal and trying to compensate by pushing her way into ghost fighting when it was too little too late) and triumph over them, showing their character growth and development before they all break out and confront Nocturne. Tucker and Jazz still handle destroying the machine in the living realm while Sam and Danny still overshadow Nocturne (they also still have that iconic and sweet “Can you make room for me?” moment) and fight him in his dream, where he tries to overwhelm them and use their fears and demons against them, but they all fight it together in the real and dream realms, before Tucker destroys the machine and Danny and Sam take down their demons and Nocturne together before being expelled and capturing Nocturne for real in the Thermos as everyone wakes up. The episode ends with a mix of canon ending and Team Phantom reflecting on their growth and facing their fears, and Danny and Sam denying the part of their dreams where they were together, and being adorkable blushy messes as the special ends, hinting that they know that the other’s feelings for each other is mutual.

Idk what anyone else’s thoughts would be on Frightmare or a rewrite of it, but that’s personally how I would rewrite it and would like to see it go down if we get a DP revival! Thanks for coming to TED talk and enjoying my ramble!

[eman0neb]

Alright that’s a wrap for season 3! Now I can work on season 6.

I’m not sorry for what I’m gonna do. Buckle up.

Also I wanted to draw Kai so badly, but I also just wanted to let these two be sad broken children together.
