Something people need to realize is that dannyphantoms fans/fandom is also dannyphantoms biggest haters
DP is such an interesting and amazing concept but was utterly ruined by the fact that it was under Nickelodeon and butch Hartman meaning the writers couldn't do what they actually wanted with the show and is stated as so in interviews they wanted to explore and go darker with the show and explore Danny's death but couldn't because of those restrictions and was instead forced into comedy slop the longer the show went on
A remake under the right people would be amazing
There is a reason this show reached the fans it did and has the angst it does in fandom because that's what we want with the show it's our ideal you don't have your main character "die" and become a "ghost" in the opening and expect the fics and art to come from it to be wholesome
The fanon idea of DP is far better than what any of Canon could or will ever do from butch or nick
Canon is a suggestion for us and because of that it opens a whole lot of doors of what DP could be a horror a thriller a slightly angsty hero show, a show with an unreliable narrator a sociological mind fuck, or whatever you want take your pick of canon mix it with the questions the show asks but never expands or mentions again with your imagination and have fun
It's also why I think this fandom is so chill why argue about Canon when Canon sucks and you can put your own spin on it
Danny himself is also a very moldable character the show gives us so many what-ifs for his future and how things can turn out especially in subtext and one-off bits the show never brings up again and also many possibilities for his life to turn to shit invincible style the amount of alternate hims are infinite
He hates people but also loves people
He hates being a hero but also loves helping
Danny is an angry person but also very compassionate
He's a snarky Lil shit but also a people pleaser to a toxic degree
Danny is willing to manipulate to get his way but also defend/save his abusers and the same people he hates and hurt him
He's in denial but also emotionally aware
Make him a hater who lives off coffee and hates socializing and people and that's still accurate
Make him a happy-go-lucky goofball who lives off puns and friendship is magic and that would also be true
He is such an interesting but moldable character no one interpretation is impossible or occ its also why the fandom loves crossovers cuz there are so many possibilities and things you can do with him that just work
