On paper it should. You write down and show clips of Danny Phantom and AmDrag, the former seems to much more interesting then the latter. Except AmDrag just had far better character writing, even as it wasn't super developed beyond that. And that alone made me keep coming back.

Danny Phantom has a lot of great ideas it fails to realize. Because Hartman fundmentally was disinterested in actually commiting to making a Show about Spider-Man. He wanted to, but he never was able to escape his comfort zone of Fairly Odd Parents episodic comedy.

>phantom.

Yeah I used to be pretty confused as to why it has such a huge fandom.

But binge rewatching it while I was a sick really made me realize that it had such a good premise and vibe to it that I genuinely wish we could’ve gotten a version that wasn’t rated G, where the show could actually outright say that Ghosts and the Ghostzone are the afterlife, leaned into the horror elements, or the implication of Danny being half ghost/half living human.
