Phantom Planet and Son of the Mask

To me, series finales mark a milestone in the history of a show. It doesn't necessarily mean the end (just look at KP), but it's the planned end.

What a series finale is supposed to do is to make you feel content with the possibility that the show will never continue again. It tends to lead to many fanfiction opportunities and opinions about what happens next.

Depending on the content and impact of the finale, you will feel content either much sooner, later, or maybe even not at all. Only once in a great while does a series finale actually make someone feel content right away.

Phantom Planet is one of those series finales.

I don't know if this is the true end of one of my favorite cartoon series of all time, but I do know this: if it's really done, I won't be disappointed. In fact, after Phantom Planet, I don't know how Butch would be able to top it!

Let's spoil some stuff, shall we?

Tucker Foley becoming the newest and youngest mayor of Amity Park reminded me of Jordan from OBAN Star Racers becoming Avatar. You never saw it coming, it changes your perspective on the character, and what a crap-load of responsibility for people that young!

Vlad Plasmius is possibly, probably, and presumed dead. Of course, the world (in the DP universe, at least) probably doesn't care, and must be very glad for it. I, for one, think it kind of sucks, since Vlad was one of my favorite cartoon villains. Why wouldn't he be?

1. He's from Wisconsin

2. He has a goatee

3. He's played by Martin Mull

What doesn't rock about Vlad Plasmius?

Nonetheless, the guy was rammed into by an anti-ghost asteroid that was capable of destroying the planet, so he's probably dead, and my Danny Phantom fanfictions have now officially become A/U.

Danny and Sam are now together (FINALLY!!!). It's about frickin' time.

Jack and Maddie have now seen Danny and Vlad's true colors, which we all knew was going to happen ever since Vlad said that if Danny exposes Vlad, Vlad will expose Danny.

The one thing that I really didn't like about Phantom Planet: the scientists.

No offense to the guys that played them, but can you say "completely horrible acting"?

Seriously, the world is going to be destroyed, and their voices barely matched their expressions. They sounded more monotonous and nonchalant than Mandy.

Nonetheless, this was probably the most awesome series finale ever. Definitely the most awesome I've ever seen, and it clearly was everything the Teen Titans series finale was not: good.

Now, for the Son of the Mask.

I was able to let an hour of Grey DeLisle sink into my brain. Why not Richard as well?

Yes! He's in it! He's the dog. Seriously, you couldn't tell?

Seriously, though... even though I only saw the last hour or so (I'm planning on actually watching the whole thing when it's on today), from what I saw of it... Richard was the best actor on there.

...With the possible exception of Bob Hoskins, but hey... it's Bob Hoskins.

The Wikipedia for "F***tards"

It seems like I find out about so many Wikia sites everyday up to this point. Just recently, I've seen one on Final Fantasy and another on Anthro characters.

Today I found another: Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Or as I like to call it: so stupid and mean, it's funny. Much like X-Play, but with swearing.

F***tard seems to be a common phrase on there. That's why I have that in the title. Another is the "word" lulz.

If you're sensitive about the stuff you like, you probably shouldn't think about going there. I, on the other hand, find it funny 'cause they're just making themselves sound like know-it-all d-bags.

Here are some examples of their... "general knowledge".

- Atomic Betty can kick Danny Phantom's "butt" (<-- paraphrasing).
- The Grim Adventures of Retard and Emo Girl.
- Danny Phantom is unoriginal.
- Mindy (B&M) is (and I'm paraphrasing again) an ugly whore.

Okay, so I sorta agree with the last one, but that's what makes that one funnier. ^-^

So here's my OWN article of Encyclopedia Dramatica:

Encyclopedia Dramatica is full of whiny Wikipedia rejects in need of a life. Trust me. I know when someone needs a life (who better to know than someone who already doesn't have one?). The site is full of more controversy than a non-family-oriented Eminem song.

...

Let me rephrase that last part: the site is full of more controversy than a non-HAILIE-oriented Eminem song.
