whimsicality along with a younger audience kept FOP alive. Danny Phantom had the unfortunate pleasure of being a teen superhero show during a time when teen superhero shows had saturated the market while anime hit its stride across the board
I'd boil it down to two things, both having to do with Butch Hartman being the guy who made it.
First, his art style really isn't suited to an action series. The fight choreography is pretty shoddy, even by the standards of Western superhero cartoons of the era. Second, Hartman really shouldn't have made a series about ghosts if he was going to let his religious views get in the way of the premise. "They're just vague energy monsters" is such a lame cop-out, and I get the sense that he was afraid to really go all-in on the sort of atmosphere that the premise would've needed to shine.
The main two problems with Danny phantom are A: it stopped being about ghosts, and B: they overpowered Danny really fast, most of his rouges become outclassed after one or two appearances and don't really do anything significant anymore.
Fairy Odd Parents was more appealing since it was just a sit com really. Every episode is just Timmy having a problem, making a bad wish, then things return to status quo.
The world of the show allows for any sort of whimsical or fantastical stuff to happen and thus had greator comedic potential.
Focusing more on comedy makes it easier to get into from any episode.
Danny Phantom being an action show is a bit more niche and harder to get into.
There was a dude who was a failed youtuber who went crazy, wanted to be a woman, and thought that if he killed other people and them himself he would become a girl ghost and join the Danny Phantom villain Ember.
So he shot up his workplace and killed three people.
He would have killed more, but he was the worst fricking shot you could imagine.
The killer's name was Randy Stair in case you want to watch the Mister Metokur video on him

You should really just forget about that guy, and the character he idolized. They both thrive off attention.
I'd rather have my soul annihilated after being forced to watch the universe being born, living, and then dying for insurmountable epochs as I expierence complete ego destruction as I lose any recollection of my name or self; then being remembered by some shitposters on the cartoon board of a Turkmenistani Plov Cooking website
The fact that Butch Hartment had some Christian awakening during the production of DP and the show reflects this is almost as funny as Ember's Ghost Squad.
It failed because Butch Hartman wanted it gone after realising the series went against his ideology. He got involved in quickly ending it in season three, overhauling key aspects of the show by turning ghosts into aliens and giving it a quick Danny saves the world conclusion.
Plenty of people were invested and thought it ended too abruptly, but the best way to ruin any show is to have one person with too much creative control and no cohesive vision at the helm, inevitably running it to the ground. It's a shame considering the writers for seasons 1 and 2 planned to have Danny level up over time, might have been Nicks second story driven show after Avatar if not for executive meddling.

also unresolved plotline no thanks to executive meddling
>episodic format
>has a plot
Doomed from the start.
I thought Danny Phantom was remembered as a guide of how to assassinate classmates.
>how to assassinate classmates.
It'd be better if it was about assassinating your teacher.
I'm pretty sure he did that too in the show
>Danny Phantom is remembered fondly to this day
>FoP is remembered as a guide of how to assassinate your own series
Two words: Phantom Planet.
It looks like Danny just went to Fairy World and is freaked out at the sight of real fairies.

They keep things interesting enough with raised stakes/more powerful opponents honestly
Is this another quantitygay thread?
Fairly OddParents is fun and you can watch it from any episode

>niche
More like cliche.
Phantom Planet was really bad
California here we come,
Back to where we started from
Now post Butch's design
Rreminder that june is Ember's Ghost Squad remembrance month
Who?

That is still one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen happen. Paranoid delusions + Terminally online.
You should really just forget about that guy, and the character he idolized. They both thrive off attention.
From all the homicidal autists, he's my favorite. A tryhard loser who failed at everything, even at committing a massacre. Doomed to be forgotten.
>Doomed to be forgotten.
Really? Comes up every time we talk about DP.
Because it's hilarious how easily "troony Phantom" rolls off the tongue.

Ghosts are boring and Danny Phantom wasn’t funny, Timmy had a better rogue’s gallery than Danny
A boy whose life is changed
I don't recall anyone killing people because of FOP characters.
The fact that Butch Hartment had some Christian awakening during the production of DP and the show reflects this is almost as funny as Ember's Ghost Squad.
Danny Phantom was saved from a horrible fate, what Fairly Oddparents became is something evil.
There's more good FOP episodes than there are DP episodes.
Frick you
It sucked
You suck
It takes one to know one
