Danny's Recurring Identity Crisis pt. 1
Going through high school is torture enough. But if you throw in ghost powers at age 14, then there's sure to be disaster.
Considering Danny was already going through enough problems as a normal teenage boy living with eccentric parents. Adding in the ghost powers paired with his own sense of doing the right thing. Then you've got Danny Phantom—Teen Ghost Fighter.
This comes with a slew of newer issues that get to be a bit much to handle. No wonder Danny constantly faced an identity crisis. And not just when he wanted to spend the summer with his friends as a normal kid.
No, no. Danny's identity crisis continues throughout the show.
The Ghost Catcher being the perfect instrument to show what was going on with Danny mentally when it came to balancing his identities.
Starting early out. He gets his powers. Figures out something new about them every day. Tries to fight ghost crimes with them, do the right thing, fight the good fight.
But keep his ghost side hidden from the world. Which starts to cause him problems as the series progresses.
When he first starts using his powers, it's all standard issue and he's learning, trying to come to terms with them and his role as Danny Phantom.
Which is why when the Ghost Catcher splits him the first time.
It's all too easy to become one again. Because there's no internal struggle yet. He hasn't distinguished both sides. Notice how he starts to separate both sides of himself later on in the series.
Human Danny has school, family, friends, and a life. Ghost Danny fights evil ghosts and protects his town.
Danny drew the line and the internal struggle began.
So when he splits himself with the Ghost Catcher the second time.
And tries to become one again, this happens:
The unholy combination of both sides of Danny warring to come out on top.
These two:
Made this:
The hand on hips thing is purely his own choice btw.
Goes to show how separate both halves have gotten. Danny drew the line to keep his identity a secret, and managed to further alienate both sides of him within himself.
Hence his constant, Danny Fenton does this, and Danny Phantom does that. He doesn't consider them as one. Which is why he manages to make the most stupidest decisions whenever he wishes to shed one side of himself.
This distinction becomes even more disastorous when a certain Disasteroid is hurtling towards earth and Danny Phantom is nowhere to be found cause he fucked it again. Because when the genius did this...
...he mentally and physically got rid of any association with Danny Phantom.
He thought that now that he didn't have his powers anymore, he didn't have to give two shits about standing up for what's right.
We got the Cool Fun Time Danny for good. But this time there wasn't a Super Danny Phantom in the wings to pick up the slack.
Danny stopped caring.
It was like, now that he didn't have his powers, he was free to not care about anyone but his friends and family and about living his life free of responsibilities like any normal teenage boy.
Cause if With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.
Then...
No Powers = No Responsibility.
to be continued...

It’s the way that you can tell how proud Sam is of Danny by how he could sit and listen to him play drums endlessly, like he has nothing else he’d rather be doing then watch and support Danny
