jeyehesohenh When people say that Danny Phantom is cool because he has ghost power, they're obsessing over genetic mutations. The plot isn't that good. In fact, the plot harshly transitions, with cheesy puns here and there. The script is very repetitive and dull. It needs more comic relief. Poor execution made the show worse than it should be. The show is just about trying to get a girlfriend and fighting ghosts. The harsh transition from the pro-log to the theme song with eerie whispering every 5 seconds and fake rap warns me to turn off my TV.
lunadivinerradiance It's gong to be had to put everything I want to say into the small space I've been given, so here I go:Basically, the show is about a 14-year-old boy named Danny Fenton who, after an accident with his parents' new Fenton (Ghost) Portal, becomes half-ghost. With his powers (super strength, flight, intangibility, invisibility, plasma rays and shields, a Ghostly Wail (sonic scream), and cryokinesis/ice manipulation) and help from his friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley (and later his older sister Jazz), he defends his hometown of Amity Park from the ghosts that exit the portal.I've been with this show from practically the beginning, as a five-year- old watching it back in 2004. Now a bit over nine years later, I'm 15 and still watching the show. The characters amused me, the villains, especially Vlad and Dan/Dark Danny, were creative and interesting, and the show had me hooked from the start. I wish it hadn't been cancelled back in 2007 (though I've heard rumors about a 4th season coming next year).
twinklestars16 Danny Phantom is the same person who created the more imaginably real Fairly Odd Parents. The story revolves around a guy who is half-ghost, half human, fights monsters and ghosts and still wants to live a Normal life with his two best friends, a sidekick and the individualist"-turned love interest. This is how you meet TeenNick with Ghostbusters.Well, the idea of the plot seems too obvious, which basically involves a teen hero who tries to create a double life. Though real high school isn't exactly as angst-ridden and stereotypical as Casper High, nothing truly significant happens but fight ghosts and your usual 2000's Nickelodeon teenager scenes. Danny learns new powers a few episodes pass by, has arch nemeses, more love interests, and the fight scenes. That's about it.The fight scenes were basically a lack of detail, limiting themselves to power shooting, gadgets, and the occasional punches. Danny doesn't apparently have the physical strength, but he can try to train himself both physically, and socioeconomically. Sadly, I usually think he rarely trains, just his new powers pop-up by ghost fighting just like that.The Jokes aren't even funny. Awkward scenes here and there, maybe a random romance sequence between friends. The animation seems okay, but not enough.The theme is apparently concentrating on a more Grim feel, but I just can't see it. The contents in the cartoon look too vague, and they just come from thin air.The characters are also one-sided. Even their "unique" characters look too one-sided. Not much on character development there. The only decent person I see in there was Maddie, Danny's mom, who is the one who didn't look pathetic, and is apparently the sane one. Kudos to her.Apparently, the character that actually needed to be deleted was Sam Manson. She was the type of person who has been asserting herself to become the "perfectly independent girl" to Danny, who just magically gets her anyway in the end of the series. She was technically a hypocrite and a poser, and most of the episodes see her as trying to be different, only revealing to be quite useless in times of need. (see Naruto's Sakura.) In conclusion, Danny Phantom may be a good plot, but the cutboard characters and the vague details will just make it what it is. Butch Hartman needs to research more about the ghosts and the characters. That is all.Comment Rating: 2/10 (Because a few episodes made good ranks.)
Saku_Tatsuya I actually used to watch this show about a year ago for the mere reason that I heard it was made by the same creator as Fairly Odd Parents. At first, I thought it was going to be just as good. But after watching about fifteen episodes, I got sick of it. Thank god that I found this site to let off some steam.First of all, Sukey graphics. No, it doesn't have to change into anime style but if Hartman is trying to actually make an action TV show, then the least he should do is add in more detail in the fight scenes. However, the whole crazy hair thing does resemble your typical anime style so yeah. But still, putting in "POW" and "PUNCH" doesn't make up for the action. He can at least put in some real fighting instead of sissy punches and kicks.Secondly, the characters are really frustrating. Sam is a poser, Tucker is the friend person, Danny is your typical teen angst person. Jasmine is your stereotypical older sister. The dad is too much like Timmy Turner's to even qualify as being 'original'. The only tolerable character on the show is Danny's mom. She isn't downright stupid or annoying.What frustrated me the most about this show is that it's just another one of your typical teen angst show about basically nothing important. Okay so there's Danny turning into a ghost kid and fighting ghosts and also faces teen problems. The whole teen angst part is not how teenage life really is. This is just another one of those shows that just make kids think that teen life will be all that when it is not. I used to think that teen life was like that.As for the plot; there hardly is one. I've seen third graders come up with better plots for a story then this.
