#Danny phantom reboot

Silly Danny sketch page for practice :) ft lil Will-o

Ladies, gentlemen, assembled nobility, people of the jury, Samantha Manson.

This is but a small sampling of her expansive wardrobe, and maybe I’ll come back and add some more outfits.

My version of Sam is confident and self assured. She knows exactly who she is and what she wants from life, and she’s willing to fight for it. She’s still a vegan, and still encourages the lifestyle, but she’s less militant about it around people who respect her diet. She’s not afraid to throw hands when people don’t respect her, or others. Those big boots aren’t called shit kickers for nothing. She’s dabbled with wicca, and collects esoteric books on the occult. She also likes using retro tech, like a Walkman and vinyl record player, mostly because it drives Tucker crazy.

She has a fascination with horror, both the classics, and more modern stuff. She’s definitely the kind of girl who wore fake fangs for a whole year, without considering the moral dilemma of being a vegan and cosplaying like a creature who subsists entirely on blood. She’s also the kind of girl to punch a homophobe.

Okay, but...

If there's a reboot, I don't want a "Darker Danny Phantom", I want "Danny Phantom Taken Seriously". Because every issue and criticism I have of the show is because it's supposed to be, first and foremost, a comedy. I know it's an "action comedy", but it never had a good balance (and very few of the jokes were actually funny).

It was supposed to be a silly show with silly characters and silly episodic villains. Characters and Lore aren't just inconsistent, they're supposed to be inconsistent, because it's all either a joke or an excuse for a fight scene. Even it's "serious" villains are surrounded by silly, unserious plots and characters, The Joke still takes precedent. Literally, if you think of all the best episodes they're all the "serious" ones, and they still have bits that are just unfunny or completely undercut the episode. Seriously, cheating on a test isn't the end of the world and making that The Point of the episode is both unserious and unfunny despite how cool the core concept of "fighting your evil future self" is; Danny isn't a bully for using his powers to punish a different bully, no matter how interesting Sydney is as a character. Danny Phantom rarely, if ever, managed to not make a lazy joke at the expense of a serious moment.

If there's a reboot, it can still be funny, there can still be jokes, but it should be serious about the characters, the world, the plots, and the jokes themselves! Comedy is a tool. Jokes can be extremely useful in managing tone, expectation, and character. Danny Phantom just never did that very well.

The Curse of Danny Phantom

The agony of every Danny Phantom fan is having in mind a cool darker reboot of the show and knowing that Nickelodeon would never greenlight it even if it was sanitized as much as possible.

One of the coolest premises for a superhero ever...cursed to have been made by a Televangelist for the fart joke network, where it remains stuck.

Still excited about the upcoming comic adaptation though.

Serious Question

I was browsing through the Danny Phantom subreddit recently and I’ve been seeing posts about people wanting a reboot of Danny Phantom. If anything were to happen like that, what would you guys like to see?

So I know this is probably old hat by now, but hear me out.

When danny entered the portal his soul(a part of him or something else) was sent into the ghost zone preventing him from dying entirely. Given this when ever he would transform he would create a portal around him and passing through it his ghost would come though, as well as in his first few months would be difficult for him to gain control over is powers because his soul was split in two and the other in the ghost zone. It's almost like his own ghost his possessing him. Just think of the the fact that somewhere in the GhostZone is Danny's Ghost half, maybe one of the ghosts are keeping it safe. Clockwork maybe.

I would sell my soul for a Danny Phantom reboot animated by Flying Bark Productions

All wishes must be undone au

Where sam's wishes have to be undone too, leading to Danny losing his logo, no Dan phantom time line and no king Danny, no phantom planet. What can you do with this?

(context, Danny's logo is a result of Sam wishing she never met Danny, Desiree heard and gleefully granted her wish((because she was wearing a specter deflector she wasn't effected)) turns out that with Sam never meeting Danny he never goes into the ghost portal and never has his accident. Desiree is free to power herself up with wishes left and right, so Sam has to try and befriend Danny, get them into the basement and recreate the accident that lead to Danny getting his powers (where she puts Danny's logo on his chest)

After they defeat Desiree Sam wishes Danny keeps his logo and for everything else to return to normal.)

I redid him again (I really hope this’ll be the last time)

[beyondflashpoint]

So, I know that the results of the poll were conclusively for Jazz, and I do plan to get to her Monday, but I started the sketches for these like right after I posted the poll, and I love the swimsuit design and the lil’ stuffed demon, so you’re getting more Sam to hold you over for the weekend. Sorry not sorry.

Except for the five of you who correctly voted for moar Sam. I’ll probably end up doing more doodles between polls. But meantime, anybody wanna talk to me about my redesign concept? Any background artist want to collaborate? Any screenshots you’d like to see redrawn in my style? Talk to me Phandom. I will listen.

The physiological horror!!!

I don't care about Bitch f<ck man says!!!

Give me Blood,guts, and a Visexion!!

part of me so desperately wants a Good animated danny phantom reboot. aimed at a slightly older demographic (aka ppl who grew up w the show), cool animation, and exploration of the deeper themes the fandom has been screaming about for over a decade. something akin to the new scott pilgrim series.

but then i remember bitch fartman is still alive and he would stop at nothing to slap his dumbass name on the project.

Dp x dc idea:

Danny & Co joining the Justice League and everything...but it's that wonderful DC AU where Bruce died in Ethiopia instead of Jason and Tim decided to be Dad (TM) of Jason's Robin and runs around as kid Batman for awhile (eventually becoming full legit Batman).

Danny & Co joining up after all of that, they have only known Tim as Batman (and for fun let's make this Brian Dead where Danny & Tim are dating, or are dancing around each other, maybe Super Brain Dead because I love Kon being involved).

Anyway, Tim is Danny & the Pham's Batman...and then they ended up accidently in the normal DC universe and meet Bruce Wayne Batman and immediately are like "Press X For Doubt" about the whole thing

Danny, squinting suspiciously: who the fuck are you?

Bruce: I'm Batman

Danny: No the fuck you aren't

Elle: Yeah no way, I know Batman, Batman's a sleep deprived twink

Tim (as Red Robin) walks in

Danny: holy shit they fucking shrunk Red Robin

Tim: What??

Elle: Okay what the fuck, first Batman isn't a twink and now Red Robin is???

My favorite (SFW) pieces for 2022

My ideal Devilman-inspired Danny Phantom reboot.

My tribute to Vewn and Half-Life 2.

[oatmealaddiction]

Has there ever been a more frustrating show than Danny Phantom? Like the greatest idea for a superhero show ever, and it's weighed down by its stagnant "wannabe-vector" art style, Nickelodeon's discomfort with mentioning death in any capacity, blatant conservative misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, and a show runner who wanted the show to be Star Wars so bad, he put the planet Hoth in the after life. It does everything in its power to knee-cap its potential at every turn, and people are still making fanart despite all of that, because the concept is just that juicy.

[goingghostcomic]

Not my best but used Sam as a warm up and thought these came out cute.

[kradeiz]

With all the DPxDC crossovers here I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone take a stab at giving Danny the Absolute treatment. That is, reimagining his story with one crucial element removed.

My pitch: Danny without the ghost zone.

In this universe, there is no separate dimension that only ghosts inhabit. They're all in our world but can't be seen by people most of the time.

Jack and Maddie still built the portal, believing in a ghost zone, but all it did was collect ambient ghost energy and release it onto Danny. After that it just went inert.

Not only is this a big change in how the DP universe works but it would give another challenge to Danny. He can't simply catch ghosts and release them into the Ghost Zone. Instead he's left with three options.

Help resolve the ghost's issues, letting them find peace and/or move on.

Destroy them.

Trap them in the thermos and leave them there until 1 or 2 are possible.

Being forced to keep ghosts imprisoned indefinitely or flat-out destroy them would take its toll on Danny, and depending on what his support system is like in this universe, could make things even worse for him.

(Irt support personally I like some variation of this.)
