Let talk abourt the idea of Danny helping ghosts instead of fighting them from ¨A Glitch in Time¨
After Danny finds out about the true nature of ghosts in the secret garden, he thinks it would be a good idea to change his ways in how to deal ghosts: Instead of capturing and fighting them, they could find another solution since they are powered by emotion.
This is a neat concept. However, i think Danny is going to find quite a lot of complications along the way.
1)There are too many ghosts
This is one of the biggest challenges Danny is going to find out when he starts doing this whole thing. The Ghost Zone has more than just some of the ghosts we see in the series- it has hundred to thousand of them.
Because of this, i think Danny would have to find a way to make ghosts listen to him and his ideas. He could assemble a team to help him look for ghosts but he would need something, maybe an artifact or find someone with authority that could take him seriously.
One way i could see this happening is if Danny became the ¨Ghost King¨ or something among these lines. Other ghosts would respect him and he could have the power to influence ghosts and made them try his ideas. If not maybe he turns into a guardian of sorts that makes him be respected and be listened to in a similar way.
Ghosts would probably be skeptical of this idea that Danny has at first, but after seeing that it works with some ghosts, a lot of them would likely get behind it and try to see if they can help in some way.
2) There will be ghosts that would be harder to help or make them change.
It would be expected that some ghosts won't change their ways or Danny wouldn't know how to help them. While a lot of ghosts could be teached to fill their emotional drive in other ways, there are ghosts like Spectra that would be more difficult to deal with.
In these cases, Danny would probably realize that he can't do much or would have to find other way. He would have to fight these ghosts and make them stay away from Amity Park. Maybe if he manages to get Skulker into his side he could capture any ghosts that cause trouble both in the Ghost Zone and the Human Realm.
Vlad and Dan could play a role in here, that is that they could intimidate these ghosts and help with making them stay away from Amity Park. Vlad already seems to have a reputation in the Ghost Zone, meaning he could use that for his advantage to keep troublemaker ghosts in check.
Leaving these problems aside, i think Danny should start with those ghosts he knows are the most friendly or less antagonistic towards him. These could be Sidney, Dorathea, Amorpho or Wolf. They could also later join Danny and help him with spreading the word around.
Over time he can move to other ghosts once he gets used to it and learn to know when they are going to work with him or not listen to him.
