Jazz Fenton: Best Big Sister Ever

Let’s all give a round of applause for the best sister ever: Jazz Fenton

Not only does Jazz find out her baby brother is the ghost “menace” her parents are always talking about, but she immediately takes his side and defends him both physically (thermos) and mentally (therapist-in-training)

Let’s also rewind to the actual moment she found out; there was no explanation afterwards that Danny was only half ghost, she didn’t even confront Danny because she wanted him to trust her enough to tell her on his own time (giving him a semblance of control which he probably never had before).

So Jazz Fenton thought that her little brother had died and become a ghost which he could alter to make himself look more human/alive and what does this absolute BOSS of an older sister do with that information?

Nothing, she doesn’t force answers out of him or confront him or even tell their parents; she decides to let him do his whole hero thing and help from the sidelines, cheering him on silently but effectively.

Jazz Fenton is the absolute GOAT of an big sister and we need to stop sleeping on her

Headcanon for Danny Phantom:

I have been thinking about this for a while now. 

Okay, so we have seen ghosts in different colors like green, blue, and black. Yet, almost all the ghosts that have been shown in the show are mostly green or a shade of green. Very few are grey in color and even fewer in the color white. 

What if the color of a ghost is base of the level of power, obsession, knowledge and rank?

We always see Danny fighting ghosts, what if some ghosts fight to get a higher rank? What if some ghost learn about stuff to out rank others? What if ghosts who have the color white are higher in rank? What if ghosts who are the color blue or black are second in rank?

Like for example the Ghost King. He has the colors of white, black and green - with a bit of red and grey. He probably fought hard to get his rank. His obsession was ruling the ghost zone with law and order like walker, but other time it got worse due to the power going to his head. Being the most powerful ghost ever, he saw that he could get away with anything; that’s why it took many ghosts in the first place to put him to sleep. 

Walker, another white, black and green ghost. His obsession is with law and order. He’s top dog in the ghost prison. His powers are not all that powerful though. High in rank.

Frostbite, white, blue and gold eyes. He is a leader of his people. He protects and helps. Has ice powers and maybe even healing powers. Very wise and has lots of knowledge. High in rank. 

Clockwork, blue, purple, and red. Powerful and wise, yet, we don’t know much about him. Very high in rank, though lower than the Ghost King. 

Vlad, white, blue and red eyes. He is powerful, but not like Danny. His years and knowledge of fighting put him in higher rank though. His obsession was power and of course stealing Maddie from Jack. If he were to come back, his obsession would be Danny; because the kid was always there to ‘ruin’ his plans. Vlad would be unstable, being in space for a long time and most likely stuck in ghost form; maybe even lose most of his humanity. He would change into something more ghostly, less formal, more wild and a dangerous lust for revenge against Danny. Most likely would go with his ghost name than his human name, since he lost everything. 

Then there is Danny - white, black, green and blue (ice powers). He is not like other ghosts, he is not like Vlad - who has a shade of blue; he’s not a color of a normal ghost. Sure he has white hair, but out of everyone, he looks too human. That’s what most of the ghost zone doesn’t like about him, he’s too human; more human than Vlad. What if Danny is more powerful than the Ghost King (without the suit of course), but doesn’t know how powerful due to being too human. Like we saw how powerful Dan is, until Danny got the Ghostly Wail and won. Danny has sooooo much power at his fingertips, but he doesn’t use it all. Why? 

What if Danny is more like the Ghost King than we thought? What if Danny becomes a all white ghost with green eyes? Like his name is Phantom, and if you look up ghosts - most of them are white. So, that means Danny is very powerful ghost; yet, doesn’t abuse his power due to his humanity. Frostbite calls Danny the Great one, because Danny Phantom will be the most powerful ghost is existence when the time comes. Danny would most likely look more like a phantom, after being crowned king of the ghost zone officially.  

Sorry for this post for being long, but I had to rant about this. You can do whatever you want with this new headcanon.

Okay, as you all know, Pixiv is like the Japanese version of DeviantART. Japanese artists posts artworks of all genres, ranging from original works to fanarts, in the site. Because I am an anime fan artist, I also have a Pixiv account, and I post my fanarts from different fandoms for the Japanese artists to appreciate my works too.

I als search for possible wallpapers and pictures to adore, in fact I found my favorite fanartist for Assassination Classroom there. ❤️

When I rediscovered my love for Danny Phantom, I tried to find some artworks for Danny Phantom drawn majorly by Japanese (with some foreign Pixiv users who also posts arts like me).

Well let's just say, I have reached the darker side of the Phandom, and I have never prepared for it. There are decent ones... and there are arts that can break Rule 34. 😂😂

Danny phantom season 3 rant

So i have been thinking about writing and explaining why season 3 felt so weirdly paced and why i think it's writing is mixed bag.

I'm aware this has been covered hundred of times. Despite this i would like to share some of my thoughts.

Firstly, i thought about what people like when they talk about this series. The conclusion i came up with it's:

Characters and character development

The worldbuilding

Episodes about mature and dark themes (Think about The ultimate enemy)

Good and funny antagonists

Ghosts and ghost dimension

Then i thought what made season 3 fail and the reason why it didn't work.

So for starters:

Characters

One of the main highlights of Danny phantom is strong characterization and character arcs. They may be not perfect.. Nevertheless,the characters are well defined and each one feels unique.

What went wrong in season 3?

The answer to this, I believe, it's the lack of internal conflict. In all of the 13 episodes which this season has maybe only 2 of them the characters really change.

I'm talking about D-stabilized (Valerie and Dani) and Forever phantom (About popularity and how gaining too much attention can be dangerous)

The rest of them is main conflict it's beating the bad guy of the week. Not too much else.

This is when i talk about Danny and Sam.

I have nothing against this pairing. They have decent chemistry together. My issue is that in season 3 is the only relationship that seems to develop and many episodes which focus on Danny are about this.

It would be fine if it was a subplot or there were other things happening in the same episode.. but when it's your only arc.. it felts empty.

Antagonists

Other thing that i like about danny phatom is the villans. Every villain has their own personality, design, motives, likes and dislikes. No one it's like the other.

Some of them have backstories and actual explanations of why the choose to attack Danny. Like Ember, Vlad, Valerie...

Then season 3 came and the main antagonists became forgettable.

Their designs are really cool. The problem was that they lack motivation beyond destroying the world. The were more like big monsters which existed for Danny to show his powers for rule of cool.

I don't remember too much about them except for design and powers.

The only new antagonist i liked was Amorfo. He was someone who didn't have his own identity so he copied others to gain attention.

Mature themes

Now what lessons did season 3 have?

Because if you leave D-stabilized and Forever phantom.. you have nothing worth of analyzing here. Maybe.. Eye for an Eye, about how we can get carried out with pranks.

Still the lessons and themes weren't as interesting as season 1 and season 2.

Think about Danny learning to overcome his insecurities. Think about Valerie falling for Danny. Tucker and his phobia of hospitals.. Season 3 didn't have these things.

Worldbuilding and ghosts

The worldbuilding in this season it's actually not that bad. There are few new cool interesting concepts that were introduced. First, the ghost core and second, the infinity map.

In "Boxed up fury" we get to know about the pandora box. It's a shame it only was for one episode.. i found it's lore very mysterious. They could have written an arc with this.

I wasn't very fond of Danny being "the chosen one". He is great because he fights without having a destiny. He knows he can use his powers to stop evil ghosts from hurting innocent lives.

I forgot to mention the detail that some ghosts consider Danny as a hero for freeing them from the Ghost King. That's nice continuity.

Vlad's characterization

One of the main reasons i really like Vlad is for his motivations. He isn't your generic villain that wants to conquer the world or power.. he has already all those things and more.

His wants Maddie and Danny to be his family. He wants to get revenge on Jack. Even if revenge it's a little cliche.. i prefer this over "generic bad guy".

For him, it's very personal. He thinks Jack ruined his life with the ghost portal accident. He was his friend and Jack "betrayed" him in his mind.

And in season 3... he's nothing of these things.

Like, his motivations are changed. Suddenly he's a different character who only cares about power and money.He becomes a dull typical saturday cartoon villan

Some fans believe he snapped after "Kindred Spirits". I think it's a good explanation for this change. The problem is that is never justified in the series.

First he makes pranks on Danny, then he wants the infinity map, after that gaining popularity and then he wants to create more Danny clones...

Not saying it's bad he has more than one goal.. but make up your mind,please!

Conclusion

So there you have it, i explained my points of why this season is a bit weak in comparision to Season 1 and 2. I didn't hate Season 3. It's decent at least. It just is not as well written as the previous seasons.

Mr Lancer Appreciation Post

Mr Lancer from Danny Phantom is the best teacher ever; fight me

He doesn’t give up on Danny no matter what and actively tries to help, not to mention he really does try to get Danny to open up to him.

Remember that one episode where Technus takes over DOOM while Danny’s getting tutored? Lancer was trying sooo hard to connect and help Danny the best he could and it was so sweet

Not only that but their bonding moment in that episode??? CRYING IT WAS SO SWEET

Lancer also treats Danny like an equal, he’s not as intelligent as Jazz or as passionate as his parents but Lancer always expects the best from him because he knows he has potential.

He truly believes Danny has the potential to be something great and is trying so hard to get Danny himself to realize it

Let’s also not forget The Ultimate Enemy. In that episode everyone Danny loves dies, right?

Maddie and Jack, his parents,

Jazz, his sister

Tucker and Sam, his best friends,

AND MR LANCER, HIS TEACHER

Danny cares about Lancer just as much as Lancer cares about him and it’s so sweet and we need to stop sleeping on this amazing English teacher

Anyone have any questions about Dead Justice (Tim Drake x Dark Dan) or would want to know their reactions to certain thingg/situations or any questions for me about my takes on DP or DP x DC? Go ahead and ask! I wanna rant about DP so go ahead

[mista2bonkurei]

like i like that danny phantom has the super subtle LGBTQI metaphor and that Tucker is shown to be really smart and that valerie is shown to be really powerful and a character that danny crushes on and that sam is shown to be independent, strong-minded, and strong-actioned. 

But like at the same time, it really doesn't delve into how danny or anyone else feels about danny being a ghost except that it's cool and at the same time troublesome and that it's good that he's a hero.  im largely satisfied with tucker, tho the fact that he's usually the butt of the joke is infuriating. im also largely satisfied with the way they portray valerie except that she's as stereotyped as the other characters.  and finally the way sam says she's not like other girls is unacceptable when taken alone (tho she also says being normal in general is not good so it's more of a character trait than a sexist comment, tho the element is still there). 

I guess where I think the show falls shortest is in the villains.  like, they make for ok single episodes but there's no depth.  We see the same tired clichés over and over and that's probably why they canceled it.  vlad has his merits but they overuse him.  idk, it could have been so much better.
