#danny phantom reboot planning

[goingghostcomic]

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

[picturejasper20]

In a hypothetical Danny Phantom reboot, i think Vlad as main antagonist should appear a bit more often and have a recurrent plan that builds up through the season/series.

I was thinking of something like he was doing in Reign Storm that hinted at him working on a bigger plan before that idea got dropped later.

We could get scenes in episodes where he isn't the ¨monster of the week¨ exploring his character or giving hints in what he is working at while the plot A is about Danny doing other things. This could help with keeping up the intrigue and building up the main arc. This could be applied to other characters like Valerie as well.

A BTAS style title card for the DP reboot/au that lives in my head rent free

if I were in charge of a DP animation reboot and I had an unlimited budget, I would make significant and meaningful style changes. The basic change: everything that happens in the 'human world' would be black and white, and only the ghosts would be in color.

for more details, keep reading!

I've been calling it the "Pleasantville AU" in my head, though it's really not an AU as much as a lore-relevant stylistic overhaul reboot.

Humans and everything in the human world is black and white; ghosts are full technicolor

Danny, as a halfa, is still mostly black and white, but his eyes are green and his skin is. Skin colored idk. (Also black sclera because it's cool shh this is my fantasy reboot au)

The more powerful a ghost is, the more colorful it is. Moreover, the most powerful ghosts are capable of changing their coloration to "hide" in the human realm

Humans can't see colors well, and most recording equipment can't "capture" the image of a ghost well. You need special equipment to see them clearly and special cameras to photograph them

Places where ghosts have had a prolonged presence or big impact start to "bleed" colors. If you get wounded by the ghost, you get splashed with color (will fade to white "if you take care of it")

The Guys In White find these colorful, ghost-touched areas and "clean"/bleach them

The longer Danny hides, the more his presence in Amity Park starts to affect things

I didn't love the "Sam is responsible for Danny getting ghost powers" storyline in the OG, so in the reboot Danny was alone when he had his accident and he didn't tell anyone. He thinks he's a straight up ghost/is becoming a ghost and will eventually become evil (in this au becoming a ghost is thought to be a long term process a la vampirism. This isn't actually the case but I love "bad scientist Fentons" so that's their prevailing theory)

(He'll tell them eventually but I love identity shenanigans so I think it's more interesting if he hides it from them for a bit while also interacting with them as Phantom on occasion)

Oh yeah, because Phantom is mostly black and white, he's the first ghost that a lot of people are able to see.

His coloration is the driving force for the Fentons to declare him "the worst ghost", because they accuse him of trying to pretend to be human.

His coloration is a big reason why other ghosts dislike/distrust him, too, because he looks too human

The Vlad is a halfa reveal happens way later and way differently in this reboot; Danny meets him and knows he's "ecto-touched", but the Vlad = Plasmius moment would have more impact if Danny has had interactions with Vlad before, imo. Anyway I have Plans(TM) for Vlad but I'll leave it at that for now😏

Be More Ghost Chapter 11: Upgrade

Summary:

A Be More Chill AU where Danny gets a Super Quantum Intel Unit Processor (or Squip) to help him become cool and win over Valerie, but things don't really go as planned.

Masterpost | AO3 Link | Word Count: 1,993

C’mon, Danny can’t you see we got a plan,  now be a man.  You start with Star,  and then progress,  then we assess  and soon success!

The Squip ended up dragging Danny all the way outside the school. It had mostly stopped glitching out but its outline still buzzed a little like it was agitated. Its hair, which was usually slightly neater than Danny’s, was sticking out in different directions like Danny’s does after he gets out of bed. Even its sunglasses were slightly askew.

“What was that about?” Danny asked.

I’m sorry, but that girl does not see you as relationship material. Squip-Phantom adjusted its sunglasses and ran a hand through its hair, which smoothed down into its usual neat look. 

“I know! That’s why I got you!” Danny felt exasperated. One failure and the Squip was acting like Technus after Tucker hacked into the ghost’s software? Maybe it wasn’t as good as Danny thought it was.

And you’re sure you want her? She already broke up with you once and she actively hunts you! There are plenty of other students at this school. Squip-Phantom’s face matched Danny’s expression of frustration like a mirror. Then it relaxed and turned its head as if looking at something that wasn’t there. I’m accessing footage of the boy’s basketball team right now. It’s very impressive. 

“I want to date Valerie.” Danny had heard this argument a thousand times from Sam and Tucker already and he knew it was weird that he was still hung up on her, but he wouldn’t give up his crush. He couldn’t!

You’re sure about that? Squip-Phantom seemed resigned to Danny’s stubbornness. It could read his mind after all, so it knew how sure Danny felt about this.

Danny nodded. 

Very well. 

“So how can I get her to date me?”

You can’t. 

“What?” Danny clenched his fists. What was the point of getting a Squip if it couldn’t help him get what he wanted? 

…Yet. Becoming the kind of man who can impress Valerie requires more than working out a few bugs. Squip-Phantom raised its sunglasses and Danny saw its eyes start glowing brighter in excitement as it explained its plan. You’re going to need to reboot your reputation. Supercharge your social standing. You need to upgrade!

“Huh?”

You need to get popular. Squip-Phantom winked and lowered its sunglasses again. Tear ducts: activate. 

Danny felt his eyes welling up with tears. Before he realized what was happening, he started sobbing uncontrollably. What had the Squip done to him?

Through vision blurred by tears, Danny saw Star walk up to him with a sad smile.

“Danny! I’ve been looking for you.”

“I’m sorry,” Danny gasped out between hitched breaths. “I don’t know why I’m crying.”

“I do.” Star patted his back soothingly. Danny wiped his eyes and looked up at Star.

“You do?” 

“And I totally understand. They’re saying it was a freak ice skating accident.”

“What are you talking about?” Danny looked questioningly at Squip-Phantom, who just motioned for him to keep paying attention to Star. What was going on?

“Oh my god, you don’t know!” Star’s eyes widened. “Chip Skylark’s dead!”

“Chip Skylark is dead?” Danny’s mouth hung open in shock. 

“I mean, I was never into him because most of his songs were about teeth which kind of freaked me out but-” Star gestured to Danny’s shirt, which he just remembered was emblazoned with the singer’s face, “I know you liked him so…”

Star continued trying to comfort him but Danny could not focus on her right now. He turned to Squip-Phantom, who was hovering nearby.

“Did you know this was going to happen?”

Of course not. 

“So it’s a coincidence you told me to wear this shirt?” Danny arched an eyebrow.

Of course not. Squip-Phantom cracked a smile. 

“Wait, what?” Danny grabbed Squip-Phantom’s arm in alarm. “Did you kill Chip Skylark?”

No, Squip-Phantom shrugged, not exactly. My quantum processor allows me to envision probable futures-

“Like Clockwork,” Danny remembered the Squip had tried to explain this before, but he was still reeling. 

A little bit. So while I did not know that, today, Chip Skylark would be run over by a Zamboni, I was aware of the probability of a… favorable outcome. 

“Favorable for WHO?” Danny cringed at the thought of the Squip using someone’s death as some part of a master plan. It felt too much like something Vlad would do. But before he could reconsider his life choices, a warm arm wrapped around his shoulders.

“It’s okay, Danny,” Star spoke gently into his ear. “You don’t have to be alone right now.”

Danny started to pull away but Squip-Phantom stopped him. 

You need to get popular and here's a popular girl who likes you. You need to go where she leads.

Hesitantly, Danny obeyed. This close to Star, he could smell the nice vanilla-scented perfume she used. Her blonde hair was really shiny in the afternoon sunlight. As they walked together to the bleachers by the football field and sat down, Danny thought maybe letting Star lead him for a little bit wouldn’t be so bad.

“This is my favorite place behind the school.” Star grinned at Danny and he smiled back. “Isn’t the sun on the bleachers muy bonito?”

Danny nodded. The weather was pretty nice, but he still felt a chill. He wished he had brought his favorite NASA hoodie.

“Being here with you right now makes me feel like our future is so clear, you know?” Star gently placed her hand on Danny’s as he looked into her turquoise eyes. 

Danny felt like his tongue was caught in his throat, so he just nodded again. 

“I’ll tenderly guide you.” Star leaned forward and Danny’s brain started shutting down.

Danny turned to his other side where Squip-Phantom was relaxing while slightly hovering above the bleachers. When it caught Danny looking, it shifted down to sit close to his side and grabbed his other hand. 

I’ll tenderly guide you, Squip-Phantom echoed.

Danny stared into his reflection in Squip-Phantom’s dark sunglasses. He shifted in his seat and tilted his head back.

Just take me inside you… Squip-Phantom leaned in closer to Danny, forever.

Danny turned away so he wasn’t facing Star or Squip-Phantom. With them leaning close on both his sides, he felt a little overwhelmed. He turned back to Squip-Phantom when its hand grasped his shoulder.

Your half-life was so pitiful before, Squip-Phantom grinned as it swept its other hand out in a grand gesture, now it’s time to go all the way and more! You gotta get an upgrade!

“Upgrade?” Danny still wasn’t completely sure what the Squip meant, but it did sound like a good thing. But he still felt kind of bad for lying to Star. Would an upgrade really be worth it?

Upgrade, Squip-Phantom nodded, don’t worry about feeling guilty- just take a breath and seal the deal.

Squip-Phantom offered a hand and Danny shook it. 

“Guess I gotta get an upgrade.”

___

After putting her books in her locker, Valerie sighed when she saw Dash walking down the hallway toward her. 

“Hey,” Dash leaned against the locker next to hers. 

Valerie ignored him and pretended to be busy shoving things into her backpack.

“You’re not gonna say hi?” Dash took a step closer and put a hand on her locker door. 

“I was,” Valerie slammed the locker door shut, which almost caused Dash to fall over, “at ghost hunting club.” 

Dash stood up straight and gave Valerie an apologetic look, but she had already turned and started walking away. 

“I wanted to be there.” Dash took a few hurried steps to catch up to Valerie. She shot him a glare but stopped to let him continue. “But it was the same time as the play rehearsal…”

Valerie didn’t have anything to say to Dash. She didn’t know why she bothered letting him explain himself.

“Which is why I had to quit. I don’t want to do every extracurricular at school, I just want to do yours.”

“Oh.”

“And I’ve been tryna be a better man, for real,” Dash ran a hand through his short blond hair, “I’m sick of playing this role I’m s’posed to play.”

Valerie hasn’t expected that from Dash. He was just some dumb popular jock who got whatever he wanted. Even when they were both in the A-Listers, she hadn’t seen this side of him before.

“Valerie, don’t you ever feel that way?” Dash’s blue eyes looked into hers and Valerie felt her cheeks heating up. Maybe she should give Dash another chance.

“I-”

“Do you wanna come over to my place tonight?” Dash interrupted in an awkward rush. He rubbed the back of his neck. “We could get all sporty and toss a ball around, or get a movie and just kick it for a while.”

Dash gently put a hand on Valerie’s shoulder and smiled. Valerie found herself smiling back.

“My parents won’t be home so it’s alright,” Dash said. “They laundered money so now they’re on the run-”

“That’s illegal!” Valerie exclaimed, shaking off Dash’s hand in her shock. Dash brushed it off and continued.

“Yeah, but now the house is empty, so we can have fun!”

Valerie burst out laughing. Dash’s priorities made no sense, but she couldn’t help finding him endearing.

“You aren’t like other girls, Valerie. I don’t know if you know it, but I’m sure that for me you are an upgrade.” Dash boldly grabbed Valerie’s hands in his, and to Valerie’s surprise, she let him.

“Upgrade?” Valerie tilted her head slightly.

“Upgrade,” Dash nodded, “let’s be each other’s upgrade.” 

“Oh, wow.” Valerie felt a little flustered with Dash’s hands holding both of hers. “Well, I am flattered, but I’m not sure-”

“You gotta take the upgrade!” Dash flashed a handsome grin.

Valerie squeezed his hands and nodded.

Danny turned back to look at Star, who seemed totally unaware that Danny had been distracted by the Squip and hadn’t been paying attention. He wasn’t even sure how long she had been talking at him.

“When I’m with Paulina, people always look at her first,” Star said, not meeting Danny’s eyes. “But at the mall? You looked at me.”

Danny smiled slightly and nodded. Star looked up at him and leaned closer, resting her head on his shoulder.

“And like, Paulina’s my best friend, but sometimes I’m tired of always being her satellite. I just want someone to see me first.”

Danny awkwardly patted Star’s back to try to comfort her. At the edge of his vision, he saw the Squip giving him a thumbs up.

The bell rang and Star and Danny started walking back to the school. After promising to sync up later, Star waved goodbye and walked down the hall to her next class. Danny leaned against his locker and sighed. 

That went well.

Danny jolted several feet in the air when the Squip materialized in front of him. Danny was glad the hallway was empty as he gently floated back to the ground.

“Don’t do that!” Danny suddenly understood how Sam and Tucker felt when he appeared out of nowhere right in front of them. The Squip just gave him a cocky grin.

Danny looked down the hallway where Star had left a few moments ago. 

“I still don’t feel good about manipulating Star like this…” Danny rubbed his shoulder where she had rested her head while basically pouring her heart out to him earlier. “It just feels wrong.”

C’mon Danny, can’t you see? Squip-Phantom moved closer to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. We’ve got a plan- you start with Star and then progress. 

Danny gave Squip-Phantom a wary look, but the Squip just squeezed his shoulder.

Just be a man, you can do this! You’ll have success with Valerie in no time!

“Valerie…” Danny whispered. Right, he was doing this so he could date Valerie. That would make everything worth it, right?

[alanaartdream]

Hey there Alana!

I saw that you liked my Fanfics art-style post!

I just wanted to thank you for that!

Also, what did you think about the art-styles I chose?

Wanted to make sure I gave each of my fanfics a unique art-style in order to stand out from each other.

Sorry right now I’m trying to wake up my adhd brain to figure out what fanfics you’re talking about being as I’ve been kinda busy and my attention seems to be on nicktoons unite /Jimmy Timmy power hour related to fairly odd parents and a lot of anime/manga atm when I’m not busy with working food service for a hospital

Also one of my cats just turned 2 years old so kinda been trying to spoil him and get ready for Halloween 🎃

Also been trying to woke on my fairy Timmy ideas

Soo my guess is you’re going on ideas for reboots for Jimmy Timmy power hour games with Nicktoons unite games?

Now not all games had bad gameplay in the series and in later versions some Of Danny phantom’s friends (as well as some of SpongeBob’s) were added into the games and in one of the games series Invader Zim was added

Ok not all the games gameplay was all good but the cut scenes to a lot of these games were quite funny to watch; use to remember liking to watch a lot of YouTubers play these games for just the cut scenes or some YouTubers would only show the cutscenes they’d film from their play though of said games

So if you wanted to bring those games back to life hmm you’re to start with Jimmy Tommy power hour being as that’s what got nick to start out the nicktoons unite games back in the day and being as fairly odd parents Jimmy neutron Danny Phantom SpongeBob were the most popular cartoons Nick had at the time they designed to do a crossover game with them 1st being as the Jimmy Timmy power hour was such a great hit then they started to add in other series like there was this one cartoon series Nick had that started out as a game then became a cartoon on Nick and they had added that cartoon’s character to join the nicktoons unite games team

Then they did add in invader zim with Zim and dib but they only did that with one game (because the creator of invader zim wasn’t willing to have them in more game series is my guess not sure the details)

Then other games had as I said before started to have Danny’s friends join the team in some games and I think a few of that cartoon that started out as a game then became a show have some other characters join in on that as well as some of SpongeBob’s friends

You have some good ideas but I recommend maybe trying to watch some YouTube videos about the games or look up videos that show the cut scenes because I feel like a lot of us (well maybe not all just I have a feeling quite a few) use to love watching those cut scenes on YouTube because the cut scenes in these games were quite fun so I think YouTube might still have them

Before you plan to add other cartoons series characters to it although I can see My life as a teenage robot would fit being as she is a superhero in her series; and as much as I loved angry beavers; Rugrats and catdog I know those cartoons couldn’t interact with a superhero fighting team.. well Rugrats or rocket power couldn’t maybe catdog and angry beavers could but Rugrats even when all grown up couldn’t really fit into a fighting team as the loud house wouldn’t fit into it either

But as I’ve said you had some good ideas

If you could do a comic series and send that to Nick you could get Nick to publish it being as thanks to fairly odd parents a new wish series a lot of Danny phantom/ fairly odd parents fans have been waking up and wanting something more with Danny phantom & fairly odd parents atm

Now if you excuse me I’ve started to wake up a bit more and realise I need to get ready for work

Thank you for you ask? Hope you’re fanfic ideas go well

[redbuddi]

so invested already. if you'd be willing to give a rundown on your danny phantom rework thoughts...?

So this is a project I've been doing entirely on the side and is purely conceptual, at least for now. The majority of the art I've done for it are just Sketchbook doodles, haha. I've been calling it Phantom Redux!

Phantom Redux is a complete reboot of Danny Phantom, featuring new designs, new story, old story done better, etc. The set-up for the story is the same, Danny Fenton, while messing around in his parents' ghost lab, accidentally activates the ghost portal, giving him ghost powers, but also busting the door wide open for ghosts to invade Amity Park. And so, Danny takes it upon himself to capture these ghosts and send them back to the ghost zone!

But while the set up is the same, it'd be tackling things that the show wouldn't/couldn't/did poorly, in particular it'll be extremely gay, and obviously Danny will be a trans boy. I do also plan on depicting ghosts slightly differently, while they are connected to the living they are not literally a dead person who came back with cool powers.

-Sam: "Are you dead???" -Tucker: "Could you try to sound a little less excited?"

Episodes would be generally episodic but with overarching story arcs, much like in the original show, but will lean more into the fun horror side of things than in the superhero pastiche, I think we can all agree those were the least-interesting parts of the original.

This is of course all hypothetical for the moment, as the ghost boy does not yet belong to me, but Danny Phantom is the show that I think deserves a reboot the most right now (and also Gargoyles tbh,) and my reboot will be fantastic when Nickelodeon is destroyed for their crimes/I have the time to put this into motion.

That's the most basic rundown, but I'm happy to get more specific, if there's anything else you wanna know about!

Danny: "Ow! Watch where you're poking!"

[josnhoes]

whats the other writing blog like? original stories? 👀

It's a Danny phantom x dc crossover blog. I'm running it differently then here much more balls to the walls style. I'm reblogging other people's work there and plan to just put idea out there rather then take request actively.

I've always considered making my own stuff. Maybe reboot the old novel I wrote when I was 10. Or world building for the many fantasy ideas I have. But no one ever seemed interested in original stuff from me. So I just dropped it. Could even have done a yandere x read original stuff. Got ocs and a world all built.

[yzafre]

Now, okay, I know I said I want this to be more monster of the week with only limited set-up for a season finale…. but I really like this idea so we're running with this.

Alright, through-line of the season:

Early on, Danny having difficulties with his new powers, with the situations he's now finding himself in, going from a solid b-student to someone barely passing, getting in trouble all the time… His parents are called in for a meeting.

They talk to the guidance councilor (Danny: "We have one of those?")

The sign on her door says 'Ms. Eidol' (per wordnik.com: "eidolon… a phantom; an appartion … an image of an ideal). She's peppy - perhaps too peppy - obnoxiously, syrupy sweet… and absolutely getting run over by Danny's parents.

I imagine the first episode with her would be Danny trying to dodge whatever program she's running to take care of ghosts, but she could show up in a couple more episodes later - cold opens, maybe, for Danny to be venting his problems. Gags with other teachers, maybe.

(Lancer: "Penny, how are you?" Danny: "Her name is Penny? …she has a name?!")

The season goes on, there's more little hints that maybe Danny isn't just a kid with ghost powers, maybe he's a bit more ghostly than he'd like to think… but Ms. Eidol also becomes a bit more rounded-out, a bit more human. A bit more like someone he can trust.

Sam and Tucker are great, but he needs more help, and she seems like his only chance at a confidant, so, suddenly - he tells her. He's Danny Phantom. And Spectra rejoices, because she has him right where she wants him.

(An aside: I think him telling her should happen around the same time - possibly in the same episode - that Jazz finds out by accident. Put in some parallels between her and Jazz, how they handle him and his situation.

Also, you could be, in the background, showing the student body getting more… temperamental. Moody. Depressed. Not up-front. Just sub-text. If you wanted).

Which would lead up to Danny's breaking point, the season finale, Spectra's grand plan - and the reveal that she was working to tear him down the whole time. Reprise that great line of hers:

"Look at you. What are you? A ghost trying to fit in with humans? Or some creepy little boy with creepy little powers?"

I imagine the order would go:

discover her plot > fight but do poorly and lose morale > discover Jazz has known this whole time but still loves him > regain confidence > fight and win, while finally admitting to himself that yes, he is dead. He died that day, and it didn't go away.

But he's alive, too.

He's both.

And that's why Penelope Spectra would be the season finale of my hypothetical Danny Phantom reboot.

So been thinking lately about how way back (somewhere 5-10 years ago?) there were a lot of posts around people imagining a Danny Phantom reboot. I read a lot of them, probably reblogged some of them, but with my chronically-late-to-the-party disease I'm only really playing around with my own ideas now.

probably to procrastinate on that other project I should be working on shhhhh

So. How would I put together a DP reboot? Not necessarily what the best way is, but what would I want to do. I really like outlining, so this is a fun little thought experiment even though I should really be writing

Okay, so to start out with - what's that one post? What I want from fandom is not what I want from canon? There is… a lot of DP fanon out there that's really fun, but definitely should be restricted to fanon only (at least in it's typical form).

After that: format of the show. There's a lot more styles of kid cartoons now-a-days, and a lot of shows on the spectrum from serialized/progressive story to monster of the week. I think I would put this more on the pure monster of the week half. More Teen Titans than Avatar.

Or, well, if I'm being really honest, more like Leverage.

Leverage is a heist show with a very strong cast of characters, where each episode had a different target, so you could largely watch any episode and understand the plot fully. There were season-long "villains" that would be taken down in the season finale, but their involvement in the rest of the season's episodes was very limited.

The biggest connection here, though, is that throughout its five seasons the characters had very strong character progression - the characters were still recognizable between season 1 and season 5, but they were also noticeably different.

They learned lessons and had development throughout, and that was really the heart of the show - seeing them learn and grown and heal and become better people together. And it was consistent, not backtracking whenever they wanted for the sake of an episode idea (be real, we all just thought of an episode name).

So, rather than developing intricate plot arcs, I think I would want this hypothetical reboot to instead focus on thematic arcs each season, that could be injected into individual monster-of-the-week plots, leading up to the big resolution in the season finale.

And that's why I think the first season finale would be Spectra.

"Spectra?" I can hear you say, "I mean, she's memorable, but is she really finale-worth? What about a Freakshow, or a Pariah Dark, or a Dan?"

Look, just - hear me out. See my vision.

So I want to loop back to that concept from earlier of fanon vs canon, and look at one of the core concepts of the show: Danny's ghost powers, and what they mean. Now, while it's not… terribly clear in canon, I think the original intent (per the theme song) was that he just had mutated DNA that gave him ghost powers.

Of course, all of us watching took one look and threw that in the trash and went "nah, he's half ghost, thus half dead". And rightfully so! Much more interesting.

Why not take that into the hypothetical reboot, then, make something of a meta-commentary, a dialogue with the original? Have that be something Danny goes back and forth over throughout the season? Maybe in the beginning he very confidently asserts that he was just mutated, it's just powers… but as things seem to contradict that, there's an internal struggle, he's not dead, he's obviously alive, he can't be dead -

And if that's the internal struggle he's over-coming through the first season, who better to force the final confrontation within himself than Spectra?

[iridescentmidnights]

Someday when I finally post what I write I hope everyone knows about 60% of my process is “I thought it was funny then I took it seriously.”

[goingghostcomic]

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

[picturejasper20]

If there was a reboot of Danny Phantom i would like for Danny and Vlad's relationship to be a bit more like the dynamic Wordgirl and Dr. Two Brains have.

As in a way that Vlad is still a threatening villain but he is more of a sad wet cat in some occasions, he has moments he is friendly towards Danny and even saves him/protects him. There are times Danny teams up with him and he sees that Vlad didn't use to be evil and has other sides of him.

Vlad would act quite a lot like he does in the show while not being nearly as extreme and he would have more doubts if his plan involves putting Danny or Maddie in too much danger.

[goingghostcomic]

Lol sorry to steal your post but my musical episode has Ember hijacking the theater club and roping Danny into the lead character on accident and they sing/battle a duet to make it stop. The school goes bonkers for it because Danny has to do the whole thing as Fenton on stage.

I’m so relieved that I’m not alone I’m thinking a DP reboot deserves at least one musical episode

MUSICAL EPISODE???

I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS DUMB THAT GHOST WRITER ONLY APPEARED FOR ONE CHRISTMAS EPISODE THEN FUCKED OFF FOREVER, IF THIS EVER BECOMES AN ACTUAL REBOOT I WOULD LOVE FOR HIM TO COME BACK AND HAVE A MUSICAL EPISODE ABOUT THE SCHOOL DANCE OR SOMETHING, IT ALSO MAY OR MAY NOT TIE INTO ALL OF DANNY’S ROMANCE PLOTS

[constellaj]

Sam seemed to always like things because they were the opposite of what she was "supposed" to like, which makes her just as shallow as she thought Paulina was. Her first quote in the show is "Sorry Mr Fenton, I used to be into ghosts but they're so mainstream now. They're like cellphones." When Danny and Tucker tried to help her with the gorilla, she snuck a photo of them to use as blackmail. The only thing about her character that seems sincere is her veganism but she takes it too far and tries to force it on other people.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

sam is what happens when someone tries to write a goth/punk and just fucks up like, really bad, bc they fundamentally misunderstand what a goth/punk is and also refuse to see the culture beyond what is literally on the surface. taking sam, who should by all means a political activist who cares about empowering other people, and turning her into That(TM) is like... exactly what a shitty parent thinks is going on inside a teen’s head. sam isnt written like a person shes written like someone who thinks they know a person just by looking at them. 

she also contributes to a phenomenon ive documented in my own life that im calling “pinkhating” which is when the only competent or main female characters actively reject all forms of femininity in their life like, violently, and where all the female characters who wear pink or have skirts or w/e are shallow mean girls. characters like sam were the reason i grew up refusing to touch the color pink and thinking little of girls who wanted dates to prom which is just. so toxic? like if you dont want to be a horrendous mean girl you cant like anything that could possibly be confused with femininity. you cant play a girly instrument or join the cheer team or like sparkly dresses cause that makes you inherently a bad person bc only bad characters do that stuff and idk im rambling now and sam wasnt even one of the characters i encountered in my youth that did this but like.... YIKES huh? shes a caricature that inspires women on women violence

also if sam was as radical as she says she is she wouldnt even be vegan she would have personally killed j*ff bez*s

[bluesclves]

I really want a Danny phantom reboot... but honestly after watching fate the winx saga, please Netflix don't go anywhere near my boy Danny 🔪

[arrowheadedbitch]

If I rebooted Danny Phantom part 7

(Wesley Weston edition part 3)

-Wes wouldn't be in the first half of the first season, then there'd be this episode halfway through where there's a new student from Washington. He's a pretty cool guy at first, but then he starts noticing stuff.

-Wes would notice that Danny is clearly phantom and, thinking that phantom is evil and by extension that Fenton kid must have some nefarious plan, he tries to get everyone else to see it

-As soon as Danny gets past the shock of someone finding out he starts to tease Wes infuriating him to no end, giving them a fun dynamic but Wes still wouldn't be a very big charecter, just pop up every now and then

-He's the type of charecter that has a small role until one episode he gets a whole sympathetic backstory and actually has his own little charecter arc. He still wouldn't be as big as Sam and tucker but he'd become a good friend of Danny's eventually and even stick up for him when he realizes that he's not evil

-The last thing his mom gave him was her camera, it's pretty old but it's his prized possession

- Every year on the anniversary of her death he takes it out to take pictures, otherwise he doesn't let anyone touch it

-Phantom breaks it by accident one night and Wes is devastated but he doesn't do anything. He doesn't even tell anyone Danny broke it

-He told Kyle he (Wes) broke it and won't tell anyone what's wrong

-Kyle sees Danny and recognizes him as that one kid that his brother takes a ton of pictures of so he figures maybe he knows what happened to the camera. Maybe someone stole it?

-When he explains to Danny how important the camera was and how protective Wes was of it he knew he'd fucked up

-With Tucker's help he manages to fix the camera and give it back to Wes with an apology

-Wes realizes that maybe Danny isn't evil bc he didn't have to fix it, no one even knew he broke it. So, he decides to stop trying to expose him. This would be the start of their friendship arc.

Thank you! It’s definitely the dream! 🥰

Except the original VAs I think they’re all great but most wouldn’t suit their new character designs anymore. But I have some Easter egg ideas for returning VAs in mind! I’ve also started fan casting for my reboot.

a good dream
