why did Butch Hartman, a fundamentalist Christian, made a children's cartoon about a kid using demon powers to beat other demons? Isn't that un-Christian?
>>154300416It's just a cartoon, bro.
>>154300416IIRC he became a born again AFTER this show debuted
>>154300416he retconned the ghosts into being monsters from another dimension years later, possibly one of the stupidest retcons that actively ruined the show ever, genuinely worse than the gay harry potter characters
>>154300746wikipedia says he became a Christian in 2000, isn't DP from 2006 or 2007?
>>154300773didn't the network force him to do that?
>>154304845here's an interview from 2006, make of this what you will
>>154300416There’s nothing wrong with a fake story so long as it’s not being sold as real and not pushing false truthsMost of Danny Phantom has morals that would align with Christian virtues, or at least not negatively affect them given responsible parenting.Show was totally ruined by his beliefs though and while I get it it makes me sad because the first season is really good
>>154300416Butch didn't think much beyond "Spider-Man meets Ghostbusters"
>>154300416Why did J.R.R Tolkien, a zealous catholic made a bunch of books full of pagan pre-christian mythological creatures?
>>154300773I think it more of a sci-fi and comic book influence since the show had a lot of comic references. After Seduction of Influence was published the Comic Book industry was heavily censored andmost occult references were removed. One way around was to to provide scientific explanations for why something wasn't really an occult creature such as Sauron vampirism of mutants being a biological conditions. Or how J. Jonah Jameson's son wasn't really a werewolf but mutated by aliens that made him turn in a man wolf each full moon.
>>154300416He’s basically an exorcist with ghost power himself, not hard at all although exorcism is a Catholic thing.
>>154300416The Phantom was treated early in the show as an inexplicable mystery. Miraculous, in other words.
>>154300773It actually makes more sense because outside of Desiree and KujoNo other ghost was confirmed to have had a lifeThe vultures could talk but humans arent vulture and ectopuses, kujo or the wild animals vlad used when Maddie and Danny come by could talk.Why do Lunch Lady Ghost and Box Ghost not have namesIs Pandora actually the greek woman? Why is sge a giant?Clockwork was a guy?All the other ghosts could just be creating lives.You think someone like Ember could come back and no one go "holy shit thats Ember, the rock star from the 70's who absolutely totally died." You cant pretend that she wouldnt have had some fans still around of her music
>>154300416>being Christian means you must follow a strict set of guidelines when making your cartoon>its okay for mudslimes and kikes to do w/e they want though!
>>154300416They aren't demons they're ghosts. Also Christians are allowed to make fiction. You're retarded grandmother was wrong.
>>154305247How was it ruined?
>>154309893Lmao she's a proto sjw woketard but I agree Butch's art sucks.
>>154310142No one has ever said those words Paco
>>154305127This makes even less sense. Don't call them ghosts if they're not ghosts.
>>154300773>>154305127Its actually amazing that people still take Butch's words in an interview as something gospel. I've watched a lot of his material before and he>tends to say whatever the fuck comes to his mind>blurts out random shit (this has gotten him in trouble, see the Tara Strong/MKB nothinburger joke)>plays to appeal to the host>rarely gives an actual answer on things unless it was actually pre-scripted (ie the FOPpening video)I think in his most recent videos, he's made it clear there are some ghosts that are based off dead people, and some which are strictly just entities born of the phantom zone.
>>154309442>The Phantom
>>154309663Also Skulker was just a small blob instead of a human hunter.
>>154300416there's nothing in the Bible that says you can't make up fun stories about demonsin fact the catholic church has been doing it for like 1500 years
>>154305408he actually projected a lot of Christian ethics in the work.
>>154312541Black Sabbath also did it
>>154300773I can easily see why Steve Marmel left the show by that point, YYY was a better realized version of DP.
>>154300773cultist propaganda
>>154305247Haven't seen much of DP yet, but I've seen a fair chunk of FOP and Cosmo's ABDL fetish seems like the least Christian thing ever.
>>154300416cuz that sounds cool as shit, nofun-haver.
>>154300416Ghosts aren't Demons.>>154300773Which is weird since in past episodes it was outright shown and stated on screen that some of them were Ghosts and used to be living Humans.
>>154313380>ABDL fetishA what?Oh. That's normal for hardcore Christians.Why do you think they call themselves "born-again"?
>>154315392Heh, you got me.
