To be fair, he's part ghost so he fell through the ground

[PikaChu-wtnx]

Its funny how most shows go downhill when the creator leaves
Danny Phantom went downhill when the creator tried getting involved more

[jaytonius]

Danny Phantom was one of the most unique animated shows of all time. Danny was a great protagonist (for the most part) and Vlad was a compelling villain.

[Electriceye]

"While Danny couldn't save the people he loved from blowing up... *and* Mr. Lancer."
You've really captured the heart of this show

[LoveNeko]

"Imagine saving a city that hates you." *cough* Spiderman *cough*

i won't lie, i felt we got cheated of exploring valerie's reaction to realizing she had dated the guy she had sworn vengeance on for so long. and also her switching her motivations by going after vlad after she realizes he manipulated her.


we stan valerie gray in this household.

The ultimate enemy basically stated that all it takes is one bad day for a good person to go down the wrong path.I understood this at 14yrs old.

[Ellisepha]

If anything, I think Alex Hirsch would be able to give DP a worthy revival. He'd be able to make the show appropriately dark, while also staying true to the canon and handle the characters well.

I don't usually read fan fiction/fan comics. But for this show I'm making an exception.
I'm happy that DP has as dedicated a fanbase as it does. The lackluster ending matters a lot less because of it
I consider a lot of the cooler fan stuff as 'the real' conclusions or just as extensions of canon

In the Ultimate Enemy, Dark Danny says “I’m inevitable”. In Avengers: Endgame, Thanos says “I am inevitable”. Endgame was released in 2019, roughly 14 years after the Ultimate Enemy first aired. And Danny Phantom, HE was just 14 when his parents built a very strange

[icecreamhero]

Butch didn't want the show to get darker. Yeah that totally sounds like him he is a bit of a prude.

[spicycactus]

The thing that I love about Danny Phantom isn't necessarily the execution of the original show. It's the concept of the thing, and how many opportunities and routes an idea like that can take. I think that's why the phandom is still thriving today. The concept is something that can be played around with in depth, and the fans have gone deeper with it and created amazing content. If there was to be a reboot, I would want it to be aimed more at a mature audience, maybe something like a pg-13 rating so they would be able to explore some of those darker themes without having to water it down as a kids show.

I honestly don’t want Danny Phantom to come back unless it’s a reboot of season 3 but with the darker idea instead of the shit-pile we got

[noturgamergf]

The hug wasnt them just making up, they were hugging around or infront that the large crowd, and more importantly his parents, wouldnt see him go ghost. Thats why they still look pissed at eachother. They were just willing enough to "make up" and keep their friends identity safe. Yes they still didnt wrap up the conflict, but that wasnt the purpose of the hug

[I_was_a_Bullfrog]

I didn't think the romance between Danny and Sam felt sudden, it appeared to have been built over the course of the show.

[KingsNerdCave]

For the record, the ending did blow and left things very unsatisfied. However, I must admit I liked the fact Danny's secret being public was permanent as well as Danny and Sam getting together. Feed the fan service in the end just don't drown the audience in it.

[crystaliskandar]

I'll never not be salty about how DP was treated. Especially by it's own creator.

[RoninCatholic]

..."And then the opposite happens"

Butch Hartman in a nutshell.

[Lucky_Dagger]

Frankly they should reboot the series without Butch. I find it is a rare case which the creator being absent from the series would benefit the series overall. Some creators have strong visions that blind them from understanding the potential of alternative writing styles, and themes. Butch has only shown more hubris as the years went on and his socially conservative views have put him out of touch with large segments of the phandom.
They should consider the darker plots that were rejected for season 3 and take a page from some of the more successful kid shows of the 2010's era.
