Ultimate Enemy Plot Holes & Fixes (Maybe)

Alright, so sigh okay Ultimate Enemy has a LOT of plot holes. If you've watched it, and dissected it, you'll notice that. Like, how does the CAT answers get attached to Danny if he was intangible? That literally makes no sense. Also, how did the Nasty Burger blow up originally? Because from what we see, it only happens because Box Lunch and Danny fight, blowing up Nasty Burger, and now the hot sauce is touching the somehow still functioning grill which causes it to overheat and later kill Danny's family. But that wouldn't have happened in the original timeline? How did Danny get the test originally? How did the Nasty Burger get to the point it was blowing up? Am I overthinking this? (most definitely but shhh)

I've decided to write my own fixes that I will be considering "canon" from now on since Bitch Fartman doesn't know how to have a consistent show (fuck you Bitch Fartman). Will it be perfectly without plot holes? Prolly not, I'm doing this before I have to go do something, if you want to fix my fixes feel free to do so, I don't care.

So, how I think Dark Danny should come about in his timeline is honestly not going to be too far off from the show. I'll borrow some things, it's fine, not that serious.

How do Nasty Burger blow up? Well, no one said it had to be Box Lunch he was fighting, did they? I think it's possible Danny fights another ghost, and similar things happen. But, instead of Nasty Burger blowing up which would cause the grill to turn off, no electricity (I know my shit, I was a manager at a fast food joint). I think the fight will lead to the hot sauce container-thing leaning close to the grill, but no one really notices since it's such a slight change.

You still get Nasty Burger up and running, electricity going, and the hot sauce will still rise above temperature it should be (assuming Nasty Burger is open 24/7 so electricity is always running and that they don't have any safety measures in place to somehow prevent the sauce from getting overheated like morons).

How does Danny get the test answers? Well he's still a damn ghost y'all. I imagine he's driven to do so by A) being terrified of becoming a failure, B) being constantly compared to Jazz who scored phenomenally and C) there are bullies at this school, I bet Flash or some other A-Lister teased him about how he'd fail. Combining all this? I can see what would push this 14-year-old child to cheating on a test he think is going to determine his future.

After that, well, it follow sort of what we can infer happens?

If Lancer assumes Danny cheats by either A) hearing Sam & Tucker talking to Danny about it, B) literally catching Danny cheating (since this is assumed to be his first time doing it so he might not be as sneaky/subtle as he should be), or C) some other reason since they can't seem to keep straight if Lancer is a good or shitty teacher. Then, Lancer still asks Danny's family to come to the Nasty Burger to have a meeting, Jazz comes along cuz she would, (not an insult, but Jazz would do it), and Tucker & Sam usually end up tagging along to these sorts of things anyway.

If we go with the thinking that Danny does get away with cheating, I can see the Fenton's along with Sam & Tucker (who may or may not know Danny cheated) going to the Nasty Burger to celebrate his score, and Lancer could be there cuz it is a popular place. Then, the place still blows up, and there's no monuments for the workers because people who work minimum wage jobs are obviously not people (sarcasm, if you can't tell).

Either way, the end goal is achieved: Danny loses literally everyone he loves because he cheated on a test he was stressed about. Yeah, that makes sense (again, sarcasm).

Vlad, being a little shit, sweeps in and takes a mentally unstable Danny under his custody (he was also prolly left in the will as his caretaker or used his money since Vlad is a billionaire).

Now, do I think future Vlad is a reliable narrator? Hell no I don't! I think he's a lying piece of shit, and even if he does one good thing for once it doesn't make him less of a terrible person.

So, I think Vlad decided to rid Danny of his ghostly half since he sucks and knocks Danny out to do so. Do I think Phantom would then immediately go for revenge? No! I think Plasmius tries to attack him and, in self defense, Phantom separates Vlad and Plasmius. I think Plasmius would then merge with Phantom and cause this already unstable half-ghost to have a mental breakdown prolly.

I think that Danny, shaking and scared after having half of himself ripped away would try to stop this fusion and get caught in the crossfire, causing his death in the end. There's no way that Dark Danny just straight up murders Danny but leaves Vlad alive. Not unless Danny somehow accidentally brought Dark Danny's ire. Or, if Vlad snuck away somehow.

But would Dark Danny go straight into murder? I guess that's up to each their own. Personally, I think it's possible Dark Danny would? Especially since it's Phantom fused with evil as hell Plasmius. I don't think it's very likely though.

I do think it would start off as an accident, Dark Danny adjusting to his new life and accidentally attacking a human. Or if the GIW started hunting him down very seriously. Or, if a human gets caught in the crossfire while Dark Danny is fighting another ghost, which could lead to humans starting to be terrified of Dark Danny. Leading down a road of ... well what we end up seeing.

The point is, this is a very disproportionate consequence to cheating on a test.

Either way, this is what I think is what could've happened to make Dark Danny happen originally. If you see plot holes, feel free to reblog with your own fixes. Do you have a different fix for the Ultimate Enemy plot? Pop off. This is just a thought, and I know there are people out there who have some great ideas of their own.

watched Old (as in the beach that makes you old) and it was NOT what I was expecting. Was more enjoyablw than I thought it'd be. There were some things I think weren't presented/handled as well as they could have been (more in a "coulda done this better" way than a "bigotry or stereotyping" way) but all the things I thought were eye-rolling or only there for the sake of being there actually ended up being relevant. They did start a new thread in the last 5 minutes that they didn't go anywhere with. Also the whole [major spoiler literally the answer/solution to all of it] made no sense, honestly as well as [major spoiler that is the reason for everything in the film]. Now obviously all that is just a backdrop for the main focus which is the horror aspect, but still it does kinda suck when the story doesn't make sense in the areas of "why this is happening" and "how they solve the problem."

best fucking surprise of my life literally dripping tears of happiness down my face that was so good

Hate when bitches at this store try to tell me "Ummm I need you to start the audit already, we're supposed to leave by 11" like damn that's crazy maybe if you left me a better store or did anything to help me out I wouldn't be starting so late after picking up all your bullshit

i was gonna paint something not abstract, but the whole reason why i even wanted to paint anything today is because of how i feel... so i painted how i feel.

now i can analyze it.

this is also inspired by some of Jiro Yoshihara's work since i was looking at it right before i decided how i was gonna go about this.

how do you feel about itachi? I have so many mixed feelings on him that I couldn't say.

Okay, this one I have a more defined opinion on. I don't like itachi. I've talked about him before and why I don't like him, and honestly I don't really feel like explaining much further.

Basically it all boils down to nothing he did was justified and he was pretty stupid in his decisions for someone who was hailed as a "genius"(sasuke was more of a genius than itachi ever would be, he invented S-rank jutsu during battle as a teenager among other stuff). He was very condescending towards the uchiha (his own clan) and never said he regretted going against them, just that he regretted not finding another way to stop the coup. I'm sorry, he was blind before he even started losing his eyesight. I mean, to be uchiha and not see how people treat the uchiha you'd have to be blind.

I understand mixed feelings on itachi, I used to have mixed feelings about him as well but as I actually thought about it and kind of opened my mind to opinions I realized just how unjustified and fucked up everything he did was.

To think that at one point I was okay with it makes present me sick.

He's pretty bland as a character too tbh, basically just an extension of sasuke. I don't understand how people can say he's a "complex character" when he doesn't change his views at all, he goes with konoha in every situation as if they are right no matter what. He doesn't have his own opinions other than "the clan was bad, they needed to be stopped, I did what I had too" and that schtick he fools everyone with. His entire character is just whatever sasuke needs him to be, or, I should rephrase this: Whatever the plot needs him to be. There is nothing interesting about him trying to sound smart and philosophical with all his biased words. You wanna know my opinion on itachi? Just go over to the "anti itachi" tag and you'll find it all. All the reasons put into hours of writing by other people.

Anyway thanks for the ask. This ended up being longer than I intended because for all intents and purposes I have already talked about itachi (I think)
