Ruby Gillman's Teenage Kraken is another movie whose early storyboards and deleted scenes showcase that we were robbed of a much better film.

So let me get this straight. Danny Phantom made two historical theme episodes (one focused on Sam and the other on Tucker) that aired right next to each other, ending with Tucker being chased by Star and Paulina???

Which show has been ruined the most by romance?

This is my biggest hot take from my rewatch of Danny Phantom. While Tucker x Sam isn't my OTP per se, Sam's dynamic with Tucker feels more fleshed out than her relationship with Danny and it's honestly more entertaining to watch. Hell, Sam legit spends more time interacting with Tucker than with Danny!

These moments with Dan are fascinating to watch cause he acts like he's above human emotions, yet he's the embodiment of Danny's and Vlad's emotions. He knows how he should feel about Valerie, Sam, and Tucker but is unable to embrace those feelings. He awkwardly accepts hugs from his friends, admits that in his weaker moments he misses Tucker's dry sense of humor, displays frustration when revisiting his old home, and is legit surprised when he learns that Jazz knew his secret about being Danny Phantom.

The Ultimate Enemy feels like it was setting up this idea that Clockwork would have become a mentor figure for Danny, and I would have killed to see this come to fruition. It would have been a great place to take Danny's character moving forward. Clockwork is yet another one of those characters that should have been more relevant in the series, yet he wasn't.

Of all the episodes I was most excited to rewatch, Ultimate Enemy was at the top of my list since it's the most iconic episode in this entire fandom. And while there is a lot about it that I enjoy, there are a few problems I have never realized until now.

Whoever created the title for this episode patted themselves on the back XD. This was a fun episode with it being yet another one narrated by Jazz, which I find pretty cool. I like how Youngblood messed with Danny psychologically and made him come off as crazy to everyone else around him. I also appreciate the continuity for things such as Youngblood being trapped at the bottom of the ocean and being unaware of the Fenton Thermos. And despite being a child, he proves to be a pretty tough opponent for Danny.

Dan said what every single Danny Phantom fan brought up when it came to how oblivious Jack and Maddie were to their son having ghost powers.

Official confirmation that Steve Marmel said that he wanted to do more with Valerie and her storyline with Danny! Also, an explanation as to why Valerie didn't appear more.

This moment is fascinating to analyze cause it reveals some interesting things about Danny's perception of himself. Fun Danny views Super Danny as someone burdened with responsibility due to his ghostly powers who have no family because of that duty. But Super Danny still sees the Fentons as his family despite being a full-time hero who isn't burdened with a double life. This is especially ironic given that Dark Dan doesn't seem to care about them and even actively try to ensure that they die so that he can be created. Though as seen in A Glitch In Time, we learn that he does miss his family.

Super Danny also thinks that Fun Danny is a disappointment to their family due to their irresponsibility, which implies that Danny himself believes that his family views him as a disappointment. I love how such a seemingly silly episode provides so many interesting insights into Danny, which was later capitalized to its fullest in A Glitch In Time.

One of the best decisions made on Danny Phantom was having Jazz learn Danny's secret early on with her helping him both as Fenton and Phantom with Danny being unaware for a while that Jazz knows his secret. Jazz is a great character as she does her best to look out for her brother, and I adore their dynamic.

This episode was a blast and I am completely fascinated by how this delves into what makes Danny who he is when his human and ghostly half are separated. His heroic self has all of Danny’s best qualities while highlighting how big of a dork he is while his human self is a laid-back slacker who wants to have fun. The premise of this episode is amusing given how Dark Dan comes to be.
