Which is the better show?

[The Blue Devil]

Danny Phantom, Kim Possible or Teen Titans.

I'm not including Avatar, because it'd win this hands down.

I'm going with DP myself, mainly because he's the realest of the bunch. I know that's somewhat how I'd act if I was him...

[The Drunkard Kid]

Story and character development wise: Danny Phantom

Animation and general art and music style: Teen Titans

Comedy and character interaction specifically involving villains and supporting cast: Kim Possible

[Black Atom]

Danny Phantom has continuity and an overarcing story, which I really dig. Moreso than the other two, with Kim Possible seeming to have the least of all. It has a "seen one, seen 'em all" feel.

[Stretch Dude]

Danny wins this one, with TT getting a close second.

[Niroszyckame]

I like teen titans the best, though kim possible is close

[KhorneBloodGod]

Danny Phantom is best

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

1. Danny Phantom.
2. Kim Possible
3. Teen Titans (bums me out that Cyborg/Jynx will probably never happen, now)

[Trystenn]

1. Teen Titans
2. Danny Phantom
3. Kim Possible

[The Blue Devil]

Hell, Teen Titans, as far as *I* know, has been cancelled. So, no, I don't think Cy/Jinx will be happening anytime soon. Or ever.

[cheetahspencer]

its not that TT was bad
but once you take on the brotherhood of evil, theres really not much else you can do

[Aelo]

I haven't really seen that many episodes of Danny Phantom, or Kim Possible, but from what I have seen, I think Danny Phantom is the best of the three.

[Ant Crown]

Teen titans do come in third...But if they put someone like ULt. Spidey or Danny...

[Broblawsky0]

1. Kim Possible
2. Danny Phantom
3. Teen Titans

[OverMaster]

My two cents:

I personally think DP is a bit overrated as a show. I dunno, but it never has felt fulfilling to watch to me at any level. It's not bad, mind you, but... I certainly don't see it as the wonder most fans around here think it is. Then again, at my age, maybe I'm just too old to fully identify with Danny and his problems anymore.

Kim Possible is also a bit lacking at times, but I find some more joy in watching it than in DP, although I still would say DP is probably better from an objective viewpoint. Again, I'm perhaps too apart from the KP intended audience, though.

Then there is Teen Titans. I came to watch it with extremely low expectatives, so maybe finding out it wasn't actually BAD marked me a bit too much on its favor. Certainly, I like its characters (except Robin) better than anyone in DP or KP (except Ron. Ron's da man), but the stories would have benefited a lot from other perspectives/writers. The plots are the weakest part of the episodes I've watched so far, so I can't help but think what great show could it have been under Timm and Dini's full tutelage.

So, thinking with the brain:

1. Danny Phantom.
2. Teen Titans.
3. Kim Possible.

Thinking with my heart:

1. Teen Titans.
2. Kim Possible.
3. Danny Phantom.

I'm kinda with Overmaster here.

Everyone crows about DP and even though I've seen multiple episodes, I've never warmed up to the show yet to this day, I can still happily watch reruns of Kim Possible.

Teen titans though, suffers from the Jekyll and Hyde problem; when it's good, it is really good but when it's bad, boy what a stinker it becomes. Unfortunately, I found more bad episodes than good.

For me, I'll list them as

Kim Possible
Danny Phantom
Teen Titans

[Totoro Man]

Teen Titans is the least consistent. which isn't entirely bad... Kim Possible, as some have already pointed out is TOO consistent. which precludes it from being the best of the three in mind. it feels too repetitive.

Danny Phantom is a good show. I don't know if it deserves the sort of worship it gets around here... but Teen Titans was the same way for awhile. it's just that the writing was so uneven last season it doesn't deserve as much attention right now. the TT have a tendency to forget about all their powers, and there's more than a bit of PIS going into the comedy episodes (which is probably why people hate the show, among other things). when Teen Titans try to go after funny, it's often at the expense of making characters look stupid or even out of character at times.

with Danny Phantom the humor seems to be more 'in character' and less at odds with "why don't they just do... (insert here)"

Teen Titans has the best production values and music. sure, you could hate that theme song. but the fact that you can even remember the ATT theme song proves they scored big. I can't remember the theme song from KP or DP even though I've seen all of these shows a dozen times.

in favor of Kim Possible, the two movies were actually kinda fun. moreso than the Danny Phantom movies... which felt like they were trying too hard to be serious.

[TheRedFear]

Titans doesn't deserve to share the same airspace as Danny Phantom. DP definitely the best of them all. I dont watch Kimpossible often enough to comment on it though the whole teenage superspy thing has always struck me as hard to swallow.

Titans aggravates me because I look at Animated Superman, Animated Batman, Justice League, Batman Beyond. I see the quality that once existed in DC-toons both in animation and in intelligent storytelling.

Then I look at Titans and all I can do is shake my head and weep at how far from grace they have fallen.

Hell they couldn't even name it properly. Why in the world is it named Teen Titans, when clearly you need only watch one episode to know the name it deserves if Robin the Teen Titans.

The other Titans exist for no other purpose than to make Robin look good.

You have Cyborg, Mr Multi-Ton himself, slugging it out with Cinderblock evenly, neither one of them giving an inch. Uh oh, watch out Cinderblock! Here comes Robin with a stick! And down goes Cinderblock, one hit.

There's Cyborg, laying down Kamehameha-like blasts of fury on the army of fire demons. There's Starfire, making with Vegeta-like Rapid-Fire energy orbs. Beastboy is unleashing the Crinos-Fury, and they're not even making a dent in the horrible army of Fire Demons. But watch out, here comes with Robin with a handful of Robinrangs, and just like that the whole tide of battle is turned.

I mean god, even the freaking character developement takes a backseat to the glorification of Robin. It was Beastboy who spent time in Raven's psyche, beastboy who shared that moment of connection with her, and later shared another such moment after the incident that led to the developement of his crinos powers(when he went all primitive and clearly asserted his priority mating privilages with her.)

But who is it that gets to go share the touching moment with Raven that allows her to unleash her uber Tryghon-Stomping powers? Who gets to venture into her psyche to help her find herself? Not the guy who already been there once and knows the lay of the land. No, it's all about Robin of course.

Bah!

I stopped watching Titans after that. And if it truly has been canceled, good riddance.

Rant, over.

Word.

Anyhow, KP is at least is reliable. It rarely get sreally good, but is rarely bad either. It' just kinda fun. Titans... when it's on a good day, it can be excellent. On a bad day... well on a bad day it's eye bleedingly, "The goggles do nothing" bad.

[ChaosBurnFlame]

its not that TT was bad



You can keep telling yourself that, it won't make it true.

[ChaosBurnFlame]

I never really got the Danny Phantom phenomenon myself...

Yes, the show has a lot of good ideas, its just, much like the last season of JLU, these ideas just don't have anything done with them.

When I want to enjoy a television program, I seek a character to 'root for'.

I can watch Danny Phantom, because Danny's a rootable character.

I can watch Kim Possible because I root for Ron Stoppable.

But Teen Titans?

The main cast is either:

A) Highly immoral to the point of being hypocritical at times or in need of major psychological observation.

or

B) Dumber than a sack full of doorknobs.

Sometimes A and B at the same time.

You're right, they overglorify Robin...

But the thing is this: He's an amoral, hypocritical, arrogant, assholedly, overly aggressive, testosterone filled raging maniac that should have no right to BE Robin.

He's purposefully created automobile accidents while in pursuit of a low grade villian, a pursuit he engaged in only due to his ego being bruised. (if anyone were killed in said auto accident HE created, he would be guilty of vehicular homocide).

He is clearly hypocritical, In example in 'Haunted', he was acting insane, and even declared he'd attack his teammates with no provocation. When restrained, the team talked about trying to help him.

However, in the episode 'the Beast within', Beast Boy, under similar conditions, was treated like a criminal, even though they spotted a chemical agent as the cause to his behavior, and, unlike Robin, Beast Boy showed actual concern for his earlier actions.

In 'Beast Within', Beast Boy was not restrained, and was sat in a simple wooden chair and given a harsh gestappo-esque interrogation that forced him to the point of emotional diress that caused the change.

This might just be a flaw in my part, but a show in which there is not a moral character in the cast is not enjoyable.

This is why I can't watch Ed, Edd n Eddy.

My rankings:

1. Danny Phantom
2. Kim Possible

TT don't even make the 3rd spot. TT was a huge disappointment in my book. To what's a better word than "Stupidfied"..Oh "Dumbassified!!!"
