"Yagami Light as a youtuber would probably plagiarise" WRONG Yagami Light is insanely intelligent and looks down on literally every single other human person, he would rather stab himself in the eye than using the works of someone else - someone who can't be anything but beneath him. Pre-Death Note youtuber!Light would make long-ass videos about Everything Wrong With Society with completely unhinged takes about how xyz small innocuous thing is responsible for gang violence with numbers* to back it up.
"Light would plagiarise" get the fuck out of here.
*numbers which he completely twists to his own bias - without even knowing it because he thinks way too highly of himself

the only show where i am okay with fanon completely overshadowing (lol) canon is danny phantom. like we took this at best pg-13 cartoon about a ghost boy and his adventures and turned it into a horrifying story of tragedy and pain.
the portal accident? let's expand on that: he was electrocuted to death and had a portal to another dimension open on him. the agony he felt as he died is something horrific and unforgettable.
his parents are ghost hunters that hunt his ghost half haha! no. his parents are ghost hunters that are hunting their dead-is-he-dead-is-he-alive? child. they want to capture him for study. danny is constantly living in fear of parents because they want to "tear him apart, molecule by molecule." he is afraid of his parents discovering his secret: would it be better if they didn't know he was their son as they vivisect him? or knowing and doing it anyway?
14 year old superhero! boom pow he punches bad ghosts! so fun! wrong. he is a 14 year old atlas, stuck underneath the weight of protecting his home and the people in it. there are people who hate him, but it's okay because... because. he fends off anyone and anything that tries to harm those under his protection at the cost of himself. it hurts and he hurts but what else can he do? he gives up on his dreams of seeing the stars as phantom takes him away from school, so can continue fighting and keep people (except himself) unharmed.
the giw are so funny because they're so incompetent. but what if they weren't? what if they managed to catch him? what if fenton goes missing and phantom is never seen again? stuck in a tiny cell; he's not human. he is lesser and thus it's okay to tear him apart and put him back together over and over again. he is a shell of himself, truly dead despite being alive.
i could go on and on and on. my point stands: this fandom has developed something so intricate from a cartoon that would've otherwise been lost to time. we saw ideas and concepts that could be fleshed out into a truly engaging and gruesome story and did it! that's crazy!
this show by itself wouldn't be anything great, but fanon just made it so much better (by A Lot). danny phantom fanon is better than canon, and that's the truth

Season 10, the season of everything going off the rails
Xisuma burning, Mumbo introducing, Grian needing two takes, Keralis missing, Tangos phone going off and Skizz getting blamed, Hypno missing, Xisuma missing, Ren being the only one to die in his own event. It’s such a mess
Also *gestures to Iskall* whatever he’s got going on /lh

Cale is the Saint of Death, and has been the entire time AU.
Growing up, Rok Soo's life was shit.
In his dreams, which he only barely recalled, there was always a warm place waiting for him. A parental figure that would ask him how his day went, give him advice, and try to ease the wound that just living life gave him routinely.
"You need to eat more! You're far too skinny for a growing child!"
"Shopkeepers are more likely to forgive you if you cry. It makes them uncomfortable."
"The next time he starts to drink, hide, okay? I'll deal with him when he comes to me, but I can't right now. So just hide."
Rok Soo could never remember what the man looked like.
But he did know that if he was ever put in charge of kids, that would be who he would try to base his behavior off of.
Practical, caring, and there.
What he wouldn't figure out until far later was that in his dreams, he was being parented by the God of Death.
By the time he transmigrated, his soul was saturated with Divine Power.
When he opened his eyes for the first time as Cale Henituse, he was also waking up to a world where he had the powers of a Saint.
Cage wakes up the same day, irritated from the start, because during her own dreams the God of Death would not shut the fuck up about how his son was finally going to be able to meet her.
