Penelope Spectra is possibly the most vile and sadistic villain in Danny's Rouge gallery. While some of Danny's other villains aren't opposed to killing, their beef is typically only with Danny himself. But Penelope goes out of her way to torment teenagers with her taking joy over their misery and deaths since it will grant her beauty and power. She really should have had more episodes.

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Valerie is a character that should be more relevant in Danny Phantom, yet she's absent from the show 98% of the time! She should have been in these episodes considering the fact that the show made her a ghost hunter, yet for some reason, she isn't!

As an episode, it's all right but as a season finale, it's pretty meh. I do like how Freakshow is another human antagonist for Danny's rouge gallery though instead of being a ghost hunter, he controls ghosts.

This episode sucked. The plot of Danny losing his memories and powers because of Desiree granting Sam's wish makes no damn sense if she wished that she had never met Danny, that should have changed the entire timeline of the show up until this point. Danny, Tucker nor Jack remember Sam yet all the events of previous episodes still somehow happened??? I'm also not a fan of the retcon that Sam was responsible for Danny getting his ghost powers by convincing him to enter the Fenton Portal. Feels like a cheap way to build more romance between the two by implying that if it wasn't for Sam, Danny wouldn't be the hero that he is today. Then there's Desiree, who's a lot more villainous compared to her debut in the show.

What the hell??? If Sam wished that she had never met Danny, why would that equate to Danny having no memory of her and losing his powers???? The show also contradicts what Sam wished for since she didn't wish for Danny to never have met her but for her never to meet Danny! And why the hell would Tucker have no memories of her???

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

This is one of my favorite Jack Fenton moments XD

Maybe season 2 will change my mind but I'm going to be honest, I legit ship Tucker x Sam more than I do Danny x Sam at this point. I think part of it has to do with the fact that there's more emphasis on their dynamic than Danny and Sam

A fun episode that has Danny being caught in a love spat between Johnny and Kitty since Kitty feels unappreciated by Johnny and Johnny wants Kitty back. While I already knew about the twist in which Kitty possesses Paulina, I’d say it's still a well-executed twist.

Oscar: I shouldn't be surprised you're so familiar with fairy tales.

Oz: I've lived through my share of them.

Oscar: I've been the subject of a couple of fairy tales myself.

Jaune: You mean Ozpin has, right?

This scene is played for laughs but it does highlight that Vlad is a psychotic villain who's driven not necessarily by greed and power, but a desire for love and affection. Yet his view on what that means is extremely warped.

I've noticed there's a whole subgenre of Danny Phantom fics that will have Jack and Maddie be bad parents and I hate it since it feels like a a disservice to their characters. The two aren't perfect by any means and they make plenty of mistakes, but they love their kids more than anything else with them more than willing to risk their own lives to protect them. This is also why I've never vibed with fics that have Danny's parents rejecting or disowning Danny due to being half-ghost because for them to do something like that would be incredibly out of character. Hell, the show has several instances in which when they do learn Danny's secret, they don't love him any less with them fully accepting him.

Easily one of my favorite episodes of season one! I love all the familial bonding between Maddie and Danny with Jack and Jazz. However this episode further cements my hatred even more for all the “Bad Fenton Parents” fics since while they're not perfect, Jack and Maddie love their kids. Vlad and Danny’s constantly beefing with each other is also hilarious to watch.

Why the hell wasn't Wulf in Danny Phantom more?!?! The fact that he doesn't return until season 3 is absolutely insane since he's such a cool character who would have been a great addition to Team Phantom!
