rewatching danny phantom and i think part of why i like this show is the complete lack of butch hartmanish family dynamics. the world is....basically kind to danny? i mean, yeah, he gets bullied by other kids, but his parents are well meaning, if clueless, and his sister is genuinely supportive, and even his teacher who is framed as an antagonist a lot of the time genuinely cares about him. hell, his evil arch nemesis wants to adopt him! its a lot easier to stomach as you get older than other kids shows because the adults are genuinely NOT just randomly evil child haters, they just...don't know what's going on.

#i never liked that aspect of fairly odd parents #a lot of the characters were just...mean. for no reason.#binging the show really shows how like. lancer was kind of a dick in the first episode or so #but that was pretty quickly dropped #in favor of him just being an incredibly overworked underpaid teacher trying to motivate a problem student #he reminds me of like. jim from code lyoko. often in the way of the heroes but trying his best.
