So on the Tier 2 Danny Phantom Revision thread, two members brought up the legitimacy of the Ghost Writer's 2-C feat. I did address the inconsistency of the ending of the episode but not in detail which I greatly apologise for.
So the problem with the feat is mainly two things. Why did the Ghost Writer put himself in the story and if it was an alternative universe why is he in prison in the real world. These are legitimate problems. I didn't address these directly in my Revision which again I apologise for but I'll address them now. I honestly have no real argument against them given I already admitted that they are inconsistencies. However the episode also seems to point to this being just a story taking place in the book. When the Ghost Writer summons the keyboard, he zaps Danny and he vanishes, A book the appears in his place and the screen zooms in on the book, then begins the Ghost Writer's controlling of the plot and the narration. Danny then heads to the Ghost Zone and attempts to defeat the Ghost Writer and after a failed attempt, manages to stop him by destroying the keyboard. However the Ghost Writer states that the story won't end until the lesson is learned and the story basically gains a mind of its own, Danny later learns his lesson and he stops talking in rhyme and when the screen backs away it shows the Ghost Writer reading the book. This would indicate that it was taking place within the book he created but given he's in prison it would suggest otherwise.
As I said, I definitely see the problem but the episode does point to it all just being a story as well as not. This is the problem, inconsistencies. I honestly think a downgrade is in order (sadly). We usually take the more reasonable route and I think 2-C would be the highball and even possible 2-C is to much. I believe Unknown with Keyboard will fit better given we don't know the full capabilities of the Keyboard.
Note: This doesn't effect the possibly Low 2-C characters as they aren't scaled from this feat.
