Danny Phantom: A Glitch in Time

Product Information

The art was great and very similar but distinct enough from the original show that it felt it could move around more (some shots were so cool to look at). I really had no idea what the story was going to be about, but I really liked it and it felt like a 2 part episode from the show haha. Make Wrong What Once Went Right: Upon escaping, Dark Danny travels into the past to alter Team Phantom's present, requiring the heroes to pursue him through time. Untrusting Community: What the new Amity Park becomes after Danny chooses to erase his part in stopping the Disasteroid. Mayor Montez makes his town to be anti-ghost by creating an official branch of ghost hunters, as well as adding mandatory ghost fighting programs in public schools, and declaring Danny Phantom Public Ghost Enemy #1 again. Danny still chooses to be the hero to earn the town's trust again.

Growing the Beard: Following A Family Thing, the series seems to be coming into its own. Even Word of God has said that it was the story where the series would start really forming. Even the fans of Danielle should be happy that she's getting a lot of Character Development in this series. First airing overseas in 2003, the United States in 2004 and running until 2007, the series revolves around the adventures of 14-year-old Danny Fenton, the son of professional ghost hunters. ( No, not those. Or those.) While generally less than competent, his parents' engineering skill is phenomenal, leading to inventions such as the Fenton Portal, a machine that opens up a path to the " Ghost Zone", an odd kind of afterlife where, like in its spiritual predecessor, ghosts are both beings of the dead and creatures originally from that other dimension. Danny explores the portal and accidentally activates it, imbuing his molecular structure with ectoplasmic energy. Given Name Reveal: While the book's place in relation with the main series may be considered Loose Canon, Dark Danny is merely referred to as "Phantom" by all the characters throughout the book (mostly to separate him from Danny). Must Make Amends: After finally accepting that it was his own fault he drove everyone away and lost everything he had, Vlad decides to atone for his selfish actions by assisting in stopping Dark Danny.

This series contains examples of:

So my big problem is... What is the current media obsession with redemption stories?? Why are they everywhere? I'm glad we all like Avatar but it's no reason to keep trying to do Zuko! Dark Danny I just don't get. He doesn't feel like he should be possible to redeem. Everything at the end with him just sounds wrong, especially him going "I always lose". I'm not against Vlad being redeemed but it was oddly handled. It seems like most of it was him having an epiphany while watching Danny declare himself being bridge between worlds. Overall until the fight with DD, Vlad isn't his cool scheming smug self. I don't mind him being played as the butt of the joke but all he does it goofy frenemy for entire comic until redemption. And then there is this entire deal with Source and Danny declaring his new purpose. Again, I'm not against idea that ghosts should be treated less as enemies, that part is strongly supported by the show (rampant ghost racist, friendly ghosts, antagonists with complex motivations, numerous team-ups) but I dont fully grasp what is the specific plan here. Is Danny supposed to act as their therapist? It's said that ghost lose their purpose with time but it doesnt seem like most of Danny's enemies are in danger of that. It would work better if they managed to work in Danny helping one ghost into the book (I dont count Vlad and DD.)

Despite the fact he was defeated again, Dark Danny gains some measure of victory when his actions result in the events of Phantom Planet being erased, including Danny's new happy life. He's still in character, but he's mostly acting like he does when he knows he's overpowered and his plan failed completely. The book doesn't even really go "he's totally redeemed!" It's just like "well, he said he wants to try and do better, but is he really capable of that?" It also refuses to explain if Dark Danny is really redeemed or not.Overall, I thought it was a fun book, and was thoroughly entertaining, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. Hopefully it sells well so they consider reviving the show though. Danny Fenton/Phantom: The main protagonist, a half-ghost, half-human hero with supernatural powers.

Status Quo Is God: The story erases everyone's knowledge of Danny's involvement in the season 3 finale, returning Danny to being a Hero with Bad Publicity whose parents think his alter ego is a menace. The one difference is that Danny's Relationship Upgrade with Sam is still intact. Halfway through the airing of the second season, Butch Hartman announced the series would end with a shortened, 12-episode third season. Dedicated fans orchestrated various petitions and small organizations to overturn the decision, but, despite these protests, the production of Danny Phantom finished in February 2007, with no plans for future episodes. Despite this, Danny Phantom now maintains a cult following that regularly calls for a series revival, with Hartman being one of the most vocal about this. The series' concept of the hero's Love Interest gaining powers like them would become an official idea with the development of " Spider-Gwen". For irony, the franchise to use the idea would be the one that heavily inspired Danny Phantom.Imagine my surprise when I learned over a decade later that the evil future Phantom not only hadn't been forgotten but would be a key character in Danny Phantom's first official graphic novel! But would the essence of his character, of all the characters, be taken into consideration, so long after the show ended? I wasn't sure, but I needed to find out. BOY, was I impressed! That Thing Is Not My Child!: When none of their weapons slow down Dark Danny, Jazz suggests to her parents that they try talking to him, reasoning that he must still be Danny deep down, only for Maddie to declare, "That's not my Danny." Danny: Seeing the guy who's spent the last few years trying to destroy me, break up my parents, and who almost caused the destruction of the world? By the end it was really feeling fan-fic-y but with the amount of Danny Phantom fics I've read? We love to see canon works with that kind of fun vibe.

In "Facing the Future", Danny uses his Ghostly Wail in combination with his duplication power against Vlad. Several months later, Ben 10: Alien Force introduces Echo-Echo, an alien form of Ben's that uses that particular maneuver quite often. Emotional Powers: It's here that it's revealed that all ghosts are the physical manifestations of strong emotions from the people of Earth (hence why so many of his foes — Desiree, Spectra, Ember — are fueled by the intense feelings of others) and that Danny and Vlad's ghost powers are also fueled by their emotions.Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: While Dark Danny was originally portrayed as a monster whose tragic circumstances led to the loss of his humanity, here it's revealed that his actions are motivated by the loss of his loved ones deep down. Learning of this, Vlad agrees to save Dark Danny from being erased by the timeline so that he can start over.
