Which one holds up better?
Which one holds up better?
Danny phantom, teenage robot is just for robo cunny
Teenage Robot.
Danny Phantom's later half is just awful.
Season 3 and Phantom Planet unfortunately lowers it by a lot, though I will say I definitely remember more of DP
Teenage robot is a more unique show, but I think the overarching story of Danny Phantom made it more interesting in the end.
Both great in their own right,
Those, teenager robot was great through the entire ride while Danny Phantom post Ultimate Enemy was trash.
I think something that made Teenage Robot stand out amongst all the other Teen Hero shows at the time was the 1930s Rubber Hose and Futurist influences. It gave the show a sort of old timey, dream-like, fantasy vibe.
MLAATR.
I wasn't a fan of MLAATR when it first came out, but the humor has grown on me with every rewatch. Danny Phantom does not hold up, largely because the tone never comfortably fit the story. It's the better looking of the two shows, though.
>DP looks better than MLAATR
>implying
Danny Phantom is a great Spider-man cartoon
I agree in a "Most likely to Homestar Runner" contest: MLATR is tops.
I watched s few Danny Phantoms a couple months ago. Boy this show was painfully unfunny. So many annoying characters, you start to root for the bad guys. The main cast in MLaaTR is likable and I rooted for Jenny. I got to give the nod here to Jenny. I will say The Ultimate Enemy is the best thing either show did. Great special. Danny Phantom would have been better if they leaned more in on the action superhero aspect and less on the bad humor.
Left. Right is Butch Hartman and occasional shit character.
Danny Phantom didn't hold up in its own time because by season 3 they had negated most of the stuff that made season 1 interesting by explaining ghosts as just creatures from a different dimension instead of being dead people as the term ghost would normally imply
This, Danny Phantom was the closest we ever got from a Spider-Man outside the comics that follows Stan Lee and Ditkto original vision for the character, even the praised Spetacular Spider-Man was little like the original run with their Peter being way too nice and righteous, Danny in the other hand was an anti social douchebag constantly bitching about any responsability but still feeling like it was his duty to help people, he also constantly abused his powers just to face the consequences right after.
Say whatever you want about Butch Hartman, but so far very few understood Spider-Man better than him.
Danny Phantom
Vastly superior rouges gallery compared to Jenny's
Danny Phantom definitely had tone problems, it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a comedy or action cartoon and managed to fall short in both departments as a result.
There's nothing wrong with blending action and comedy, but you gotta focus on one or the other instead of awkwardly ping-ponging back and forth between the two.
EG, the original Teen Titan has good humor but was first and foremost an action cartoon.
How much continuity is in MLAATR anyways?
The last episode felt like a standard situation of the week sort of deal
Meanwhile, every other action cartoon finale felt like an actual ending
I thought the ending was the movie?
Escape from Cluster Prime was in the latter half of the second season
Not even the season finale
DP scratched my itch for action cartoons
TR felt like a PPG-ripoff
Danny Phantom for causing suicides.
weird, I guess thats just around the time I stopped watching
butch ruined his own show when he went with muh aliens because apparently actual ghosts is against his christian morals
Season 3 of Danny Phantom isn't bad when you watch it as it is
It's a fucking disaster if you watched it after Season 2
I'm conflicted by this question because DP was really good then jumped the shark so hard that it somehow managed to retroactively fuck itself, but MLAATR is just kinda boring with good design. It kinda evens out in the end when I take everything into account, I guess.
just like Tolkien
He wasn’t anti social, he liked parties and wanted to fuck the popular girl
Escape From Cluster Prime was aired out of order. They originally planned to have it air at the end of Season 2. The iTunes and DVD releases follow the intended production order more closely
What about Greg Wiseman?
I think they both have things going for them but I personally perfer my life as a teenager robot heavily despite liking both.
Danny phantom:
More overarching plot
Butch humor(good or bad thing)
Probably better action at its peak(cant remember for sure)
My life as a teenage robot:
Better designed show/better art
Better characters
More consistent quality
there was some continuity in the show but not much. There were several sequel episodes like The Return of Raggedy Android, Teenage Mutant Ninja Troubles, Mist Opportunities, and There’s No Harmony With Melody. Also there were some small arcs like Jenny losing interest in Don Prima after the episode Saved by The Shell and later losing interesting in Sheldon’s alter ego The Silver Shell in Dancing With My Shell. The series antagonist Vexus is over thrown from her empire in Escape From Cluster Prime and in her next appearance, at least when watching the episodes by production order, she’s stranded on an asteroid full of garbage and has gone partially insane.
