BRACE YOURSELVES; A RANT IS COMING

Ah, Danny Phantom. For a long-ass period of my childhood, I was obsessed with this show. DannyXSam was my first OTP. And it really is a great show (except for about 90% of the third season), but it DID fall short in a few areas.

Ever since I first decided I wanted to be a filmmaker, my dream project has been to adapt Danny Phantom into a live-action movie, followed by a 5-6 season animated TV series.

The movie would be an origin story, as this is the best way to introduce an audience to a superhero, and the show actually never had an origin episode.* A movie would also need Vlad, being as he is the main (and most intimidating) villain. A problem arises here in that Vlad wasn't introduced in the series until about episode 4 or 5.* This wouldn't be too hard to write, but there would be some fandom backlash about the canon. The movie would basically consist of Danny getting his powers and really sucking at using them. A LOT and an approximation of the episode 'Bitter Reunions' (making it longer and more in-depth)

The series would go through Danny's first two years of high school (first two seasons-freshman year, third season-summer, fourth and fifth seasons-sophomore year, sixth season-summer) Most of the villains would be kept and elaborated on, going into some of their origins and motives. Many of the individual episode plotlines/story arcs would remain intact, once again elaborating on them and going into more detail.

I just want a more developed, mature story with better dramatic gravity. The snappy writing, sharp wit, and stylish animation of the original would be intact. The characters would all act the same, only would be more developed and well rounded.

Danny Phantom was a great show that had even more potential than it used. I just want to bring that potential out.
