Dan is not Phantom!
So apparently people never actually paid attention to how Dan was actually made. I keep seeing these everywhere and all the time where Danny is trying to keep himself from turning into Dan and keeping himself from going insane.
First of all, Dan is not Danny. Dan was created when Danny’s humanity was destroyed, and then his ghost half fused with Vlad’s ghost half creating a totally new ghost that is not Vlad or Danny, Nore is he their child or clone!
I would like to believe Dan was so unstable because of destroyed or damaged core from Danny from his obsession/reason for existing was destroyed and they that’s why his ghost half once separated from his human half went fucken insane. So not only is he just a normal combination of two ghosts but two really fucked up ghosts instead.
So saying, Danny is trying to prevent turning into Dan does not really make any sense as once again two totally separate people!
Yes, you can probably use the excuse that sure a part of Danny was used to create Dan. Even then Dan is a separate person from Vlad and Dan.
