Line 2: == [[Fridge Brilliance]] == * When I was a new fan of ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' years back, I had an irritating dislike for the main character of Danny because for every lesson and moral he learned, he almost never seemed to grow up... or so I thought. The more I got used to this show's rather excellent [[Character Development]], the more I saw Danny was indeed maturing and developing his personality. Sure, the writing can be lax on this at certain parts, but they've relatively kept it going at a good pace. He's such a different person by the last season than he was at the beginning and I've come to enjoy his presence. --[[User:Neo Yi]] * This [[Fan -Preferred Couple\|Danny/Valerie]] shipper finally figured out the unique angle for the Danny/Sam ship -- Sam is a total Danny ''Phantom'' [[Fan Girl]]. Despite her friendship with Danny Fenton, it's clear his alter ego is [[Loves My Alter Ego\|the one she's attracted to]]. She practically swoons while flying with him in "Fanning the Flames", she redesigns his costume (just like ''[[~~Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)\|~~Cardcaptor Sakura]]'s'' biggest fangirl), and she's livid when Danny [[Always Need What You Gave Up\|gives up his powers]] in "Phantom Planet" because she's going to miss Phantom. The [[Last -Minute Hookup]] is more female fantasy fulfillment than male, despite Sam fitting the [[Rich Bitch]] [[Author Appeal\|trend]] in Danny's [[Love Interests]]. Because, by sheer coincidence, this Lois knows this Superman's [[Secret Identity]] from the beginning; it's weird, but weird is good (still not as good as this show's [[Dating Catwoman]], but interesting enough). -- [[User:Lale]] My God, that's why she acted like she was slapped in the face during the [[Grand Finale]]. It wasn't [[Character Derailment]] at all! Granted, it's not a part of the characterization I like, but damn it, it fits! -- [[User:Mullon]] I actually came up with a pro Sam approach to the whole situation. Sam loves Danny for who he is and always will; when he gave up his powers, to her, it was just that... he gave up. It wasn't that he felt like he did his part and was finished with his share or something; he was beaten by Vlad and decided to stay down and let Vlad's goon squad take care of things for profit. In doing so, he stopped being the Danny that we watched through the series, who became stronger and more mature at the same time and instead in giving up, he became a shadow of his old self. This made Sam feel that he wasn't the same person that she fell in love with. Line 10: * This Troper thinks that one is more along the lines of "being [[The Hero]] [[Character Development\|helped him become]] the person she loves". I think the Danny/Sam relationship was shown as like one editor said, that Sam always loved Danny. That scene in "Fanning the Flames" to me was Sam's [[Love Epiphany]] which is why she admits part of her really like Danny's attention. Their eventual relationship is clear to almost everyone from day one, from [[Jerk Jock]] Dash to his [[Parental Obliviousness\|clueless father]]. The powers were just made his unique as Sam [[Lampshade Hanging\|pointed out]]. This also show the difference between her and Paulina, Sam love Danny ''despite'' his powers, Paulina loves Danny ''because'' of his powers. * When "Masters of All Time" first aired, I ''hated'' it because as a Vlad fangirl, I thought the idea that he was a [[Jerkass]] even in an alternate timeline was just [[Crosses the Line Twice\|crossing the line]], especially since it came after "The Ultimate Enemy" where he was sympathized. It took nearly three years to realize that this isn't the case. Vlad having a tragic, pathetic, and sad life even in another timeline not only has a [[~~Xxx HO Li C (Anime)~~×××HOLiC\|"it's not coincidence, it's hitsuzen" feel]], but makes him even '''MORE''' sympathetic. Because even in another timeline, he tries so hard to find love because he's painfully afraid of being alone. Instead of being angry for his treatment, I now see this episode as an [[Alas, Poor Villain]] episode and a [[Character Development]] to the [[Villainous Breakdown]] he gets in the Season Two Finale--the writing was just ''very'' subtle about it. Brilliant. -- [[User:Neo Yi]] I would see that as a [[Deconstruction]] of the [[Freudian Excuse]]. "I am not a villain! All I wanted was love!" Kudos for not being a [[Card-Carrying Villain]], but no dice on the excuse. You're evil even when you have everything you want. ~ [[User:Lale]] Call me a Vlad fangirl, but when a villain is usually played for sympathy, I tend to think there can be more then just him "being evil". Especially when this can be proven true if the alternative [[Bad Future]] was an indication. True, it took the ghost power out of him, but it goes back to my "Hitsuzen" time coincidence remark. What happened in another time could potentially work in the current canon. It can be argued it {{spoiler\|already happened in the [[Grand Finale]] when he regrets what he has done to the planet}}. -- [[User:Neo Yi]] Line 37: {{reflist}} [[Category:Fridge (Animation)]]▼ [[Category:Fridge Horror/Western Animation]] [[Category:Danny Phantom]] [[Category:Fridge]] ▲[[Category:Fridge (~~Animation~~animation)]]
