Danny's Recurring Identity Crisis pt. 1

Going through high school is torture enough. But if you throw in ghost powers at age 14, then there's sure to be disaster.

Considering Danny was already going through enough problems as a normal teenage boy living with eccentric parents. Adding in the ghost powers paired with his own sense of doing the right thing. Then you've got Danny Phantom—Teen Ghost Fighter.

This comes with a slew of newer issues that get to be a bit much to handle. No wonder Danny constantly faced an identity crisis. And not just when he wanted to spend the summer with his friends as a normal kid.

No, no. Danny's identity crisis continues throughout the show.

The Ghost Catcher being the perfect instrument to show what was going on with Danny mentally when it came to balancing his identities.

Starting early out. He gets his powers. Figures out something new about them every day. Tries to fight ghost crimes with them, do the right thing, fight the good fight.

But keep his ghost side hidden from the world. Which starts to cause him problems as the series progresses.

When he first starts using his powers, it's all standard issue and he's learning, trying to come to terms with them and his role as Danny Phantom.

Which is why when the Ghost Catcher splits him the first time.

It's all too easy to become one again. Because there's no internal struggle yet. He hasn't distinguished both sides. Notice how he starts to separate both sides of himself later on in the series.

Human Danny has school, family, friends, and a life. Ghost Danny fights evil ghosts and protects his town.

Danny drew the line and the internal struggle began.

So when he splits himself with the Ghost Catcher the second time.

And tries to become one again, this happens:

The unholy combination of both sides of Danny warring to come out on top.

These two:

Made this:

The hand on hips thing is purely his own choice btw.

Goes to show how separate both halves have gotten. Danny drew the line to keep his identity a secret, and managed to further alienate both sides of him within himself.

Hence his constant, Danny Fenton does this, and Danny Phantom does that. He doesn't consider them as one. Which is why he manages to make the most stupidest decisions whenever he wishes to shed one side of himself.

This distinction becomes even more disastorous when a certain Disasteroid is hurtling towards earth and Danny Phantom is nowhere to be found cause he fucked it again. Because when the genius did this...

...he mentally and physically got rid of any association with Danny Phantom.

He thought that now that he didn't have his powers anymore, he didn't have to give two shits about standing up for what's right.

We got the Cool Fun Time Danny for good. But this time there wasn't a Super Danny Phantom in the wings to pick up the slack.

Danny stopped caring.

It was like, now that he didn't have his powers, he was free to not care about anyone but his friends and family and about living his life free of responsibilities like any normal teenage boy.

Cause if With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Then...

No Powers = No Responsibility.

to be continued...

so yesterday The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) was released onto Netflix and of course I had to watch it, trying to get my two year old daughter to sit with me since she’s interested in all the MCU movies—she fell asleep not even halfway through but whatever.

Anyway, once the movie ended, I realized there was a continuity error (sort of) in Spiderman: No Way Home (2021).

Everybody knows the iconic line said by Ben Parker in Spiderman (2002) “With great power comes great responsibility” and we hear Aunt May (RIP) say it to Peter!Tom before she d!es as well.

And then in NWH we get a mourning Peter (Tom) who is comforted by MJ and Ned, then he is introduced to the Raimi-Verse and Webb-Verse Peter Parkers, respectively. MCU-Peter says he doesn’t care anymore and is ready to send everyone back to their own universe but then the other two Peters start talking about their losses of Uncle Ben (Raimi-Verse) and Gwen Stacy (Webb-Verse) —since both exist in two universes have to make it clear which one was which— and MCU-Peter starts to quote Aunt May, “with great power”, only to be interrupted by Raimi-Peter who finishes the quote, “comes great responsibility” HOWEVER it is Webb-Peter that says it was Uncle Ben who said it before he d!ed.

E X C E P T

Webb-Verse Uncle Ben didn’t actually told Peter that great power comes with great responsibility, instead he says “you are a lot like your father. You really are, Peter, and that's a good thing. But your father, he lived by a philosophy, a principle, really. He believed that if you could do good things for other people, you had a moral obligation to do those things! That's what's at stake here. Not choice. Responsibility.” where it is heavily implied but never explicitly said.

Anyway. I figured I’d just share that with y’all because I went into extensive Googling and rewatched the NWH scene on YouTube twice because it popped into my head after watching the movie and I was waiting to hear Uncle Ben say it the entire time, expecting it to be in the voice mail that he left Peter before he d!ed.

Thanks for listening to my rant 🎈❤️

(I also texted my friend as soon as I finished my research last night)

seeing people talk about the new animated superman show reminds me that the issue superman's had for the last few decades in mainstream media, which is that too many dudebros assume the point of his character is about his "power". like "oooh look how scary he could be, if superman were real he'd be soooo dangerous" and missing the real truth. the ultimate truth. the actual truth:

superman works because he is a fundamentally very similar character to spider-man.

#my adventures with superman #superman #spider-man #thoughts of loog #what i mean is their nature of “with great power comes great responsibility” and “no crisis too small” have an immense amount of overlap #they exist as power fantasies yes #but the power fantasy isn't doing whatever you want #it's having the power to help anyone and everyone you can #no matter how small the problem seems

hi there! you remember the comic you did with Durge at the teifling party? when he was talking to the Emperor asking a favor, I thought he was holding a huge censored blue d!ldo with "blue pen!s" written over it instead of "blue prints." I want you to know the sound I made was not human when I burst out laughing on public transportation. I clearly have been awake for too long and thank you for making me feel something good!

#The messages #you lovely people send me #my dear anon #Did this make me laugh? yes #Do I endearingly implore you to get more sleep? also yes #one day I'm gonna regret drawing something but I hope it is not this day and that this amused you as much as it did me #with great art power comes great art responsibility but TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY #.....NOBODY TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

#it's about simba coming back to pride rock it's about aragorn using andúril to fight for middle earth and assuming the throne it's about #hiccup marrying astrid and assuming his role as chief and moses returning to egypt #and it's about irina loving her people so fully that when she claims all of her subjects as hers that chernobog must release them to her!!!#and it's about miryem choosing to stay with the staryk and repair the damage and assume responsibility for the land and people!!!!!#and! it's! about! gen!!!!#it's ALWAYS about gen!!!!#gen who didn't want to be king. who hated being king and only wanted to marry a queen but who obeyed his gods and became a king over kings #who lost his home and half his family and his HAND but who ushered in a new golden age.#and it's about sophos who ran away but who shot the ambassador and took back his kingdom #it's about duty and it's about sacrifice and it's always ALWAYS about doing the right thing even at great personal cost because it's about #submitting to a power higher than your own. of recognizing that the calling on life is one for serving others and having so much more to #answer for than just yourself. it's knowing duty is love is duty #i cant stand stories where the answer is 'give up the throne and reject your duty' because no!!! you dont get it!!!#thats how you get the monsters!!! thats how you get the prince turned into a beast and thats how you get every terrible weak king that #aragorn feared becoming #to accept your throne is to die to self!!! you are no longer you but 'king' or 'queen'#it's like queen mary says to qeii in the crown 'elizabeth mountbatten must die #elizabeth regina must take her place.'#that's terrifying! but it's also everything!!!!#die! to! self! die! to! self!!!!!!#lilac rambles #lilac goes to the movies #lion king #prince of egypt #lotr #spinning silver #the crown #tqt #the queen's thief #httyd

Luz and Amity are into fantasy, Gus and Hunter love sci-fi. I feel very strongly about Willow also having a human realm pop culture nerd obsession and I like to think that it's superheros

#i think ive said this before #but i need everyone to know #she loves DRAMA. AND FLAIR #AND ROCKIN OUTFITS #people having powers is nothing new to her #but she enjoys this funky edgy action packed depiction of it in human media #she has a comic book collection #i think she'd resonate with superhero angst too #like the whole ''with great power comes great responsibility'' thing #''omg guys spiderman is just like me fr''#''superman is just like me fr''#''POISON IVY IS JUST LIKE M-''
