There’s Nothing Here

13 year old Walker has most recently been in The Adam Project where he played the younger version of Ryan Reynolds’ character. 

Below is a screenshot from the call where Rick and Becky told him he was picked to play Percy!

It's the same basic plot as the show but it's all about Valerie and her family's fall from grace and her being hired by Vlad and hunting ghosts and all that, balanced with her trying to keep up a social life and developing this crush on Danny, and all that stuff. And of course we see her deal with Phantom and how her hatred of him drives almost every decision she makes.

The show takes its course with Valerie hunting ghosts, hating Phantom, dating then breaking up with Danny, etc etc, but two things slowly become apparent to the audience: first, that Phantom is much more of an anti-villain than the villain Valerie thinks he is; and second, that Phantom has a massive secret. So as Valerie slowly starts to not view Phantom as evil so much as like, mischievous or something, she also starts to suspect something's up with him. A lot of this would be framed through Vlad's information and perspective on Phantom, so Valerie starts to suspect Vlad's meddling on something he shouldn't be.

Meanwhile, Danny's portrayed as this dorky kid who mostly tries to stay out of the spotlight and avoid ghost hunting as much as possible because he's embarrassed by his family, and he's portrayed as utterly terrified of ghosts, and maybe a little bit of a troublemaker, so he's never around when Phantom shows up. But the important thing is that these are seen by Valerie as just normal behavior from a D-student on the lowest tier of popularity and not suspicious of anything else. Maybe he's hunted down by ghosts but Valerie thinks it's revenge on his parents or something. Anything but that he's Phantom.

Because here's the kicker, and why this idea unfortunately wouldn't work: the show would need to present Danny as just some kid Valerie likes and make him 100% not suspicious of being Phantom or in any way involved in ghost hunting. None whatsoever. Valerie suspects nothing. She takes every excuse Danny makes if not at face value then of indicating something entirely else that's "obvious" to the audience. And Danny and Phantom are animated differently so they look similar but not the same and all the voice actors play multiple characters so it's not weird that they sound similar, and maybe Danny's not even that important of a character in the show compared to other teens in Valerie's life — all so the audience completely does not suspect Phantom is Fenton even on a meta level.

The big plot twist, of course, is that Phantom is Fenton. Like any really good plot twist, it's not suspected but also fits in perfectly with all the foreshadowing that's both obviously and not obviously until it's recontextualized by the reveal. Because here's the thing: no one in the actual show suspected Phantom is Fenton because no one outside of the trio, Vlad, and the ghosts knows that half-ghosts exist. So why would they suspect that Phantom is actually also Fenton? And no one in the audience realizes it either unless they make a very good guess just based on possible tropes and no actual indications in the canon.

Then the show progresses differently because forget season three it's not about Danny's story, but about Valerie's. And instead of her confronting Danny about his secret, she instead starts to look at Phantom differently and slowly changes her mind on ghosts, or at least him, all the while keeping it a secret from him that she knows because, well she's kept her secret from him, and so she can understand with very good reason why he would keep his from her. Obviously, Valerie eventually finds out, and she and Danny become good friends and she apologizes to Sam and Tucker and now the trio is a quartet who takes down Vlad, who is of course the actual antagonist.

SO! I’ve seen a lot of disagreement on whether or not the Apollo reference was about the actual god or was a hint to Wrath/Orange’s name. My first thought was that it was referencing the Greek god since Roman mentions Aphrodite right before but then I thought about it and realized that I couldn’t remember anything about Apollo having anything to do with organization or motivation or anything like that.

So I looked it up (Thanks Thoughtco.com)

And I found something very interesting:

Apparently one of Apollo’s symbol’s is the raven, which you know cool but nothing to do with Sanders Sides surely? Well I scrolled further down and that’s when I found this:

The raven is a symbol of Apollo’s anger. Once all ravens were white birds or so goes the myth, but after delivering bad news to the god he scorched the wings of the raven so that all ravens going forward were black. The bad news brought by the bird was that of the infidelity of his lover Coronis who, pregnant with Asclepius, fell in love and slept with Ischys. When the raven told Apollo of the affair, he became enraged that the bird had not pecked out Ischys’ eyes, and the poor raven was an early example of the messenger being shot.

THE RAVEN IS A SYMBOL OF ANGER! Like holy shit! Wrath’s name is quite possibly Apollo and even if it isn’t his name Logan’s mention of Apollo was definitely referencing Wrath!

If the side is some form of anger or wrath, what is their secondary function? Or the overshadowed primary one? Because anger is just another emotion.

What sets Virgil apart form being a facet of Patton is his fight or flight response. So anger has to serve another purpose right?

In what situations is it good to be angry?

Then it hit me.

Injustice

Logan is feeling a strong sense of injustice. Things are unbalanced with all the sides.
