Danny Phantom

This review has some aspects that I don't agree with. Danny Phantom is less violent than A LOT of stuff in T.V. nowadays, and A LOT more entertaining. Honestly, I don't think this show is very violent. It came out when I was six, and even though the slightest thing scared me back then, I enjoyed it. I only remember being a bit scared during The Ultimate enemy (TUE) and that was only once. I DO recall a couple death threats, but those are very rare, and this IS a cartoon about a superhero! Torture? Wrong. The only thing I've seen is electric shocks for a few seconds, and I've seen every episode at least twice! I do recall a knife, and it was never used. There has been only one sword fight, and that only lasted about ten seconds, and no one was hurt. Violence towards women? So if a ghost is trying to destroy the world, and Danny attempts to stop it, there's a problem if it's a female? The men and women are treated equally by all characters. If the ghost attacks, Danny captures it and sends it back into the Ghost Zone wheather it's female or not. You're right about one thing. There IS no opportunity to work things out. That's because some ghost is trying to kill someone!! If some guy was about to kill you, and you have no weay to escape, would you smile and say "We can work this out, buddy!", or would you fight back!? Something that you wondered about is why Danny hides his powers from his parents, because they are paranormal experts. That's true, but you missed something. His parents want to DESTROY ghosts they capture. They're his parents, but Danny's a kid. Put yourself into a kid's frame of mind. He knows that they love him, but he's still afraid that they might only see him as a ghost. Everyone's mind goes through the worst case scenario, and his seems too likely. Danny is different in his phantom form because he obviously feels more confident. No one knows who he is, and he can use many different powers. It's similar to how I'm talkative at home because I'm sure that people will listen but I'm not in public places. A weird comparison, but it'll do. To quote "Ultimately, the show suffers for giving into the violent mainstream." I don't believe this. Haven't you noticed how many kids shows seem too afraid to even be close to violent, and instead market towards little kids? I believe that Danny Phantom is a step in the right direction. Many people believe that cartoons are for kids only, but by adding more action and less mind numbing silliness, less people would have this opinion. Danny Phantom took that risk, and that's what made it so popular! Plus, you need to give kids more credit! Some kids may be scared, but most aren't. Do you think that the only thing kids enjoy is silliness without a plot? You're wrong! I was reading complicated chapter books when I was 7, and watching nothing but Animal Planet when I was five!!! In short, this show isn't that violent, you has false points in your review, and kids are smarter than you thin. Now, I shall leave this site that encourages age descrimination.
