With all the reboots going on right now l'd like to nominate Danny Phantom for a well thought out, animated (I can be persuaded to see a live action but only if they put in some quality production value), gritty reboot for the following reasons:
We are a viewing audience that currently loves silliness, working through trauma, super heroes, found families, and wondering what happens after we die. Danny Phantom is all 5 and more
While the Danny Phantom show didn't end in a cliffhanger per se it didn't have much closure either
Back to point 1: As an audience that loves superheroes, Danny is not weighed down with years upon years of cannon or different authors for his character and actually offers a fresh and cohesive perspective on being a superhero
The Danny Phantom fan base, (ironically) is still alive and kicking. They're also making some quality content and have some killer cosplay
I'd like to see the updated visual effects for Danny's powers
It would open up a great discussion on what parental neglect and looks like and would help people be more observant
It would also open up the gate for lots of other more serious discussions like teen depression, sibling bonds, the nature of power, balancing your workload, what it truly means to be alive, and (of course) the nature of letting go and getting closure
With a great selection of villains the show could go for a really long time
It seems like we're mostly out of new quality ideas anyway, so might as well go for this one
I really, really want it
Now I'm not just advoacting for a REGULAR dark and gritty reboot, Danny deserves more! So the reboot should NOT have:
30 year olds playing high schoolers
A Big Bad that's hinted at all season and finally revealed to have been pulling the strings all along (looking at you Vlad/Observants/Evil Future Danny/Pariah Dark). The only things Danny should be working on (for the first seasons AT MINIMUM) are his relationships with the other people in his life and coming to terms with his death.
Love triangles
Making someone a part of the LGBTQ community without giving them a fully fleshed out backstory and complexities. There should be no 'gay best friend' tropes, make the character have layers or don't do it
Plot lines that go nowhere or are solved in less than a minute
Thank you for listening!

Been revisiting THE WEST WING lately and now I'm super inspired to write a WEST WING type fic about the Jedi Council.
The question is, when to set the series??
Pre Phantom Menace?
Post Phantom Menace but pre Clone Wars?
During Clone Wars?
Hmmmm....

Highkey... if Wuxian had a little less of a conscious... he and Xue Yang would've been a formidable duo. They match energies well and I think they could get into some really crazy shit together.
