#Danny mainly uses his powers for his own enjoyment

[tanglepelt]

Dc x dp idea 91

The justice league only formed as Danny turned 16. Within a year of forming Danny had made a deal with the realm, accepting his fate as king upon his death, to keep ghosts out. Even getting his parents either by force or acceptance to shut down the portal.

So when Danny accompanies Sam to a gala and one of the ghost shows up. He calmly informs them that they were not welcome in this dimension. He made a deal with the king and they needed to leave before he made them.

Cue Bruce Wayne’s curiosity kicking in.

this is the ultimate enemy rewrite post cause someone made the mistake of asking me how i’d rewrite danny phantom and the ultimate enemy required its own damn novel

ok the more i think the more i actually want to keep many of the parts the same because TUE i think is actually pretty damn good (with some stuff holding it back like is the deal with most of DP) just with different interpretations/executions, the WHY and intention is changing around a bit. Also i forgot clockworks name until halfway through typing this when it just CAME to me out of nowhere so he’s just mr time guy for a bit.

anyway long post under the cut. i literally do not expect anyone to read this but its here like all my other nonsense. again, not much is changing structurally, but a lot changing thematically.

* I love the original opening. It’s so good. Futuristic Amity Park, surrounded by desolation. What happened? And as we follow Valerie we get more questions. Where are the Fentons? Where is our trio? And the reveal of Dan (i imagine canonically he just goes by Phantom) is fantastic. And the pause and zoom out to Mr Time Guy being tasked with preventing this future and then the baller opening theme plays? Classic. Peak cinema. You have the suspense and intrigue. Fantastic opening would not change a thing EXCEPT FentonWorks is completely gone and replaced, but we can tell it used to be the FentonWorks based on some reused materials in its structure and its location, though it might not be completely obvious.

* So we have the same trigger: the test. The thing that forces Danny to think about his future. He’s been throwing his future away with his ghost fighting with his grades, absences, and mental+physical health and now he’s confronted with the CATs. There’d be some commentary on how stupid it is to place this much pressure on a single test you take as a teenager that decides your future as a bonus via Sam.

* The purpose is mainly to show Danny’s growth from the beginning of this hypothetical rewrite of the series. Earlier, he wouldn’t think twice about using his powers to cheat. But now he’s having some ~inner conflict~ which shows hey he actually is learning “With Great Power...” and is developing a stronger moral code.

* But we also see some resentment. He does all this work, sacrificing his physical and mental wellbeing, and now as he is realizing, his future, to protect people. He rationalizes to Sam and Tucker that he “deserves” to cheat. They understand and they can’t really argue with him, but they still voice their discomfort. Even Sam, the resident “standardized tests are stupid and the education system is corrupt” gal feels like it’s wrong, because she has always felt using your powers to get ahead and take advantage is the problem, not necessarily the cheating itself. The audience is meant to sympathize with bth Sam and Danny’s viewpoints, though.

* Amidst the stress, and amidst the moral dilemma and rationalization of how much Danny sacrifices so why shouldn’t he cheat, we bring back a previous episode plot point: how the ghost portal will explode if the filter is not changed. The Nasty Burger explosion thing is stupid, and we already have this established, and it will also make more sense for Lancer to meet at the Fenton household and for everyone to be there. While Danny studies and gets into an argument with Jazz a ghost attacks and Danny is at peak stress and is now hurt and tired from fighting on top of it so he’s not at his best work and the ghost ends up damaging the ecto filter without him noticing. It starts overheating or whatever it does. This is not Danny’s fault btw im not buying into blaming the 14 yo kid with a dangerous life and not-great adult figures.

* Lancer has a suspicion that Danny is Phantom but he’s never 100% sure. In the original timeline, he wants to meet with the entire Fenton family as well as Sam and Tucker because Danny cheating on the CATs (which only a ghost could do so he goes from suspicious that Danny is Phantom to certain, so Danny cheating essentially reveals his identity) is the final straw for him to want to intervene for Danny’s wellbeing and Sam and Tucker are involved and will need to be there too. Anyway, Danny does sorta accidentally steal the answers in the current timeline in the same coincidental way as in the show (because if he stole them intentionally I feel it’d regress his character TOO much...him accidentally stumbling upon them and the moral dilemma being “do i put them back or do i take advantage of this incident” feels less like Danny is regressing and being the same kid he started the series as to me and more like his progress and growth is being challenged), but he doesn’t yet look at them. The moment he tries to, because Danny looking at the answers is the point of no return where Mr Lancer will be able to tell Danny is Phantom and get everyone to meet (worth noting that the Fentons would have had time to notice the filter needs to be fixed if not for the call by Mr Lancer, that’s why the cheating specifically is the thing that locks the timeline lol). Mr Time Guy intervenes by sending a ghost from the future to stop him, and take them to his lair through the time pendant.

* The trio walk through the castle, seeing little hourglasses with scenes playing out. They recognize some moments from their own lives as well as some historical events and reason that they’re seeing snippets of time. Tucker touches one and gets scolded for it but he’s like “damn did anyone just see that I just saw what happened to amelia earhart” or some other historical mystery askfjdjd. They come across the main “hub” which is currently showing the future with Dan destroying the last of Amity Park

* So here’s where I stop to explain how I think this all works. I generally subscribe to the headcanon that ghosts are “impressions”/minimalistic copies of people who died with unresolved feelings. They’re not actually the people, which is how they can both be people who died and just creatures from another world. Some ghosts are born in the ghost zone, and there are some “deity” ghosts, but those deity ghosts are just really powerful ghosts and don’t actually act as gods or anything, just rulers of the GZ who meddle to keep things running smoothly in their dimension. The GZ runs parallel to the real world (and they “leak” into each other, exacerbated by the existence of the two ghost portals and two halfas who kinda made the two worlds collide permanently...so like before they were running parallel next to each other never colliding with “leaks” but now they bend and collide every time the portal opens or Danny and Vlad transform) so chaos in the human world ends up affecting the GZ etc so the deity ghosts meddle more in the human world to protect their own world with how much chaos the new connections have caused. Maybe I made it super confusing but that’s the best explanation I can think of on how I see it.

* I imagine the dynamic timeline theory rather than a multiverse theory (or fixed timeline where what you do to change history has already been done). Changing something changes the whole timeline, not makes a new one. There’s only one timeline that can be altered. Paradoxes don’t usually exist because Time Guy takes care of them/prevents them as the only person with the power to travel through time, and he can undo events and clean up paradoxes easily with whatever timey wimey magic he’s got. Also time just keeps progressing with or without you if you leave your time unless he specifically plops you back where you exited from

* Back to the story! Danny still has the same first reaction of “wow what a cool power!” cause i love that for him lmao. But he is horrified after. Clockwo—FUCK THATS HIS NAME TOOK ME LONG ENOUGH—ANYWAY CLOCKWORK!! Eggs Danny on for a fight, Tuck figures out the pendants and gives one to each of them, but the fight is still outmatched, forcing them to escape into the future.Really it all plays out basically the same: they meet Valerie who drops hints of what happened, then they meet Dan, they get hints from him, Sam and Tucker take off their pendants before getting killed and return home, Dan tells Danny what happened and traps him in the future while he goes back to ensure everything happens the way its supposed to. Few things I’d add: Sam and Tucker stay a bit longer in the future with Danny. Valerie catches up on the situation and gets back up to kick ass so the kiddos can get away. She probably shouts a warning to them while they run or asks them to make sure this never happens. They run through Amity Park a bit more and discuss what’s happening while hiding from Dan. When Sam and tuck get away back to the present, Dan phases the pendant in Danny and ties him up and sends him into the GZ while he goes back and ensures everything happens as it should.

* Dan is able to pass as younger Danny scarily well. It should be very creepy and unsettling how well he can just mimic the lovable Danny we know. He already had some of the same mannerisms (i noticed in the og how both danny and dan say “oh please...” a lot) but now he also looks like danny and sounds like him

* Same thing happens in the GZ: Danny’s attacked by a bunch of ghosts his future self has screwed over. Dan’s just hella malicious. He just enjoys hurting people and ghosts, and taking things and power (something Vlad does btw, takes advantage of people, hurts people, power hungry, etc). Danny wonders why he’d ever get enjoyment from causing so much suffering but upon some reflection after some comments from the other ghosts, realizes he’d always been sorta a dick to people and ghosts (not horrible, of course, but in the og cartoon there are many instances of Danny taking enjoyment in causing pain to people he doesn’t like and being unnecessarily cruel to ghosts who could probably just be reasoned with, and of course he also has instances of power hunger).

* He ghostly wails (since he knows the power exists, he’s able to manifest is sooner) and escapes and before he takes the medallion out he wants to find out more before he goes charging in (basically showing more character growth—not charging in without a plan, and also having more empathy and thinking maybe he can reason with his older self and appeal to his better nature if he just finds out what went wrong—side note my friend when rewatching DP said he kinda wished for a bit more of a steven universe vibe where there would be more instances of danny needing to be kind and helpful to his enemies rather than punch first questions later and i agree that this would be a good development—obvs not a rule because DP is too fun as an action show with great villains as it is but definitely having MORE instances of that Kindness and Empathy Wins vibe esp since many of the DP villains are so likable—i think many of them are good as enemies-to-allies that would require Danny learning to be more empathetic and diplomatic)

* Danny finds Vlad’s portal and is surprised to see him, a tired weak old man. Dan backstory time! So I take inspo from a fic I read where I see Vlad being an unreliable narrator (cause nothing about him in his storytelling feels trustworthy) so what Vlad has to say is different (but not totally) from what actually happened (and what actually happened is also inspired by this fic). But we’ll get to the truth later. For now Vlad tells in his melodrama how the explosion killed off Danny’s friends and family, Danny had nowhere else to go and came to him, wanted the ghost half removed because of how much pain it has caused him, and Vlad obliged. But here’s where I also take a lil inspo from steven universe and say that dannys ghost half isnt just a tool or something—it is HALF of him. It’s just as much Danny as Danny’s human half is. Same with Vlad’s ghost half. But when you separate the ghost/human halves, you’re left with two unbalanced incomplete beings, which is messy. (Note that in other situations where Danny separates from his ghost half, it’s not as messy as it is here because here Danny is in immense pain and Inner Turmoil which makes the split go horribly). And in this case, Danny is projecting everything he hates and does not want into his ghost half as he splits, meaning you’re left with the half of Danny that is selfish, cruel, uncaring, irresponsible, resentful, and powerful. And that half of Danny does not like his human half for being so weak and holding him back (I have the headcanon that Danny’s ghost half has the potential to be extremely powerful, having been blasted by the whole GZ all at once, but literally CANNOT achieve that potential because of his human half...but that’s okay because power corrupts as we’ve seen). First thing ghost boy does is attack his attacker, and he also HATES vlad, and has no inhibitions or limits on his power, so he separates Vlad from his ghost half and straight up destroys the bitch and absorbs his power—so the “fusion” is not mental/personality at all, just danny’s out for more power and to stabilize his incomplete half and absorbs plasmius’s energy. Then he sees human danny cowering and is angered (probably blames him for everything that happened to them) and kills him. Vlad gets away and dan decides to just let him go since a powerless cowardly vlad full of loss and regret is a much funnier fate to him.

* Danny realizes that if dan is just pure anger and hatred and selfishness incarnate than there isn’t really reasoning with him, but he at least has learned something about himself and taking care of his ghost half and being a better person and takes off the pendant and returns home.

* Right in time as jazz is confronting dan before the ghost portal explodes. Showdown ensues. Dan kicks dannys butt so danny attempts to reason with him: why let this horrible future exist? why not prevent it? is this really what he wants to be? dan had been angry at his human half for letting his loved ones die, so why is he letting it happen again? all that power cant possibly be worth the love of his friends and family. maybe add in a little exchange somewhere where dan figures that danny has spoken to vlad and makes fun of him for trusting him (“lol i knew my 14 yo self was stupid, and should know never to believe a word vlad says blah blah” and mentions that who he is now is all vlads fault). danny loves his friends and family and promising them that he’d never turn into dan is enough. ghostly wail, and final fight that’s more equally matched, and end. dan is permadead and his timeline is erased once danny is sent back to the moment he cheats on the test, he is not taken by clockwork.

* Clockwork saves everyone and explains to danny how he works. Danny also asks what happened with vlad, since his older self mentioned this being his fault. Clockwork explains that after the accident, tons of people flocked to help danny. The foleys, the mansons, his classmates, his aunt alicia, etc (even some ghosts!!) all supported him and let him know he was not alone and he would be okay, but vlad had no one because of the type of person he was, and he forced danny to come live with him, further isolating danny from caring and loving people. Vlad in all his manipulation also made danny further believe it was all his fault and he’s Just Like Vlad and all the bs which is why he made vlad remove his ghost half. Vlad only agreed because he thought he could control danny further by separating him from his powers and potentially use his powers. His intentions were never good. Dan saw that he would have eventually been okay if not for vlad (im basically making a point of the adults in dannys life having responsibility for the bad things that happen, obviously not ALL but like. A reasonable amount). Dan likely agrees that this future is not what wants and he would have liked a happier future, but he’s too fueled by selfishness and anger and cares more about his own self preservation and his power to want to actually change it for himself.

* Danny admits to lancer he was planning on cheating, and because he made the right decision lancer doesnt go through with staging an intervention (though he now knows he’s phantom) and danny rushes home to fix the filter but his parents are already on it, and jazz confronts him (instead of at the school, she was always stuck in the house so she’d be caught in the explosion, since dan leaving her in the school closet doesnt make sense) outside the lab thinking he’s still dan and they talk and everything is okay.

* And the status quo for the series changes as now jazz and lancer know (but lancer is secretive about it like jazz was before), and danny also has gone through huge revelations about himself.

Yesterday: *** out of 5

The end credits of a film are usually an afterthought to most viewers. Yet, a great film-to-credits transition can really enhance the overall product. Stanley Kubrick was a master at this and Danny Boyle gave us possibly the best example a few years ago in T2: Trainspotting. Now, he follows that up with another doozy in his latest film Yesterday. The problem is, it’s likely the most rousing moment of the film.

As the movie ends, we hear Sir Paul McCartney sing the first lines of ‘Hey Jude’, widely considered one of the greatest songs of all time, and we perk up immediately. The song is sung in its entirety to the delight of the audience. The credits aren’t elaborate, but this hit is all you really need…besides love, of course. The same can’t be said for the rest of the film. We needed more.

That’s a shame considering the unique premise, especially in the hands of an Oscar-winning director like Boyle. The veteran filmmaker has tackled some pretty unusual stories, many involving false realties; for instance, his characters’ hallucinations in Trainspotting, The Beach and 127 Hours. In Yesterday, Boyle brings this to the forefront, creating a world where The Beatles don’t exist which, to many people, is more terrifying than any drug or hunger-induced vision.

There’s no explanation—scientific, magical or otherwise—for this phenomenon and the film is better for it. Basically, as our protagonist Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) is leaving his latest music gig on his bike, he’s hit by a bus during a short power outage. And, poof! The Beatles are gone! He learns this while recovering from his injuries, playing ‘Yesterday’ for his friends who think he actually wrote the iconic song. Initially, he assumes they’re joking until his Google search results bring up insects and Pope John Paul II when he searches ‘The Beatles’ and ‘John Paul George Ringo’. Other things are missing from this world too, but they’re mentioned only in passing.

Naturally, this event causes Jack to panic until he realizes he’s the only one who knows one of the most beloved musical catalogues in history. What else is there to do but make the financially and professionally genius though dubious decision of passing those songs off as his own on a path to fame and fortune? It’s not out of the question either considering he’s a talented, albeit struggling musician, illustrated in a hilarious scene where his only audience members at a music festival include some children playing in the grass, a few pets and their distracted owners. This motivates his questionable plan, if fame and fortune weren’t enough.

It’s a neat premise and, for a while, quite charming and whimsical. For a while, Patel is also pretty charming, playing a mild-mannered, talented artist who often looks defeated and hates the thought of going back to teaching; you can practically hear the ‘wa waaa’ noise every time he takes a step. We still root for him, though, for the most part.

As Jack continues playing the Beatles’ songs, he rakes in the money and fame and even attracts the attention of Ed Sheeran, played adequately by Ed Sheeran, who helps him become a global phenomenon. Unfortunately, as Jack feels increasingly guilty, Patel’s performance becomes increasingly rigid. He settles into a mood of contrition from which he rarely emerges, which makes sense to a degree, but becomes frustrating for the audience.

Thankfully, Lily James adds some pep as a counterbalance to the angst. She plays Ellie, Jack’s almost unrealistically loyal manager and childhood friend who always shares a sweet smile and a word of encouragement. She’s also had a crush on him since they were young, but Jack’s none the wiser nor has he reciprocated; honestly, this seems harder to believe than the business with The Beatles. James is a delight here; if Patel has his charming moments then she’s the embodiment of charm. Wake up, Jack!

On the other hand, Kate McKinnon is the embodiment of sleaze, playing the greedy, opportunistic Debra Hammer, the agent who Mr. Sheeran introduces to Jack. She’s the funniest part of this breezy musical fantasy. Whereas Ellie cares mainly about Jack, Debra cares only about what Jack can do for her, which is add to her fame and fortune.

The degree to which he provides these luxuries is unconvincing, though, which brings us back to the impact of the end credits. If you’re going to make a movie featuring music that’s considered brilliant by the vast majority, you better make the music sound pretty damn brilliant. And, although Patel has a nice singing voice, neither it nor the music itself reaches Beatles caliber. If the band didn’t exist and you heard this music for the first time in Yesterday, would you fall in love with it? Would this singer and his work be considered legendary? My guess is no, despite the likelihood of them being at least well-received. This is where the premise shows its weaknesses; we don’t quite buy Jack’s rise to stardom and the fact that McCartney’s rendition of ‘Hey Jude’ at the end serves as such a stark contrast doesn’t help.  

This leads to another intriguing concept: What if the music wasn’t well-received? Maybe The Beatles’ success depended less on the quality of music and more on the musical tastes, politics, social issues, etc of the ‘60s. Listing more alternate scenarios may spoil the film, but such a promising setup had the potential to take some unexpected turns and explore some complex ideas, yet the writers settled on a relatively safe one with too much focus on a generic love story. There is a surprise toward the end, which is kind of neat if slightly confusing.

Yet, there should’ve been more, especially considering the headrush that was Rocketman. To Yesterday’s credit, it is a light and enjoyable couple of hours that you share with some fine company onscreen. It’s nice to see Boyle continue to tell unique stories and there’s still Beatles music throughout. Nonetheless, you can’t help but walk away from the film feeling that a great opportunity might have been squandered.
