Fun fact: MLAATR was originally going to have Dragonball Z-style action but the network made it lean towards comedy-ish action scenes.

If only CN had the show.

At the time Teenage Robot aired or now?
Because if you mean back then, than I agree, that is more likely to be done on CN.
If you mean now, than I still agree, DBZ action would still be a possibility, but lesbian space robots would also be a requirement.

My post was directed more towards the 90% of /co/ that can't enjoy lesbians without shitting themselves over tumblr boogeyman.
The sad truth of it is that, if by some miracle Teenage Robot is rebooted, and, even better, it has lesbian space robots, we won't be able to discuss it here without being bombarded by "lesbians\female protagonists\robots\teenagers are just SJW propaganda" shitposting.

THIS SHOW RIGHT HERE

Danny Phantom is the poster child of "wasted potential the show". I mean, to have such a cool and original concept only to fuck it up with Fairly Oddparents humor and lack of seriousness.

The Ultimate Enemy was perfection and should have been the tone of the series but Butch Hartman couldn't resist turning Danny Phantom into Fairly Oddparents 2.0 Ghost Edition

And even then Butch fucked that up. Another interesting concept was the black chick (can't remember her name) and Danny relationship. Danny ruined the black chick's life and so she was on a vendetta to capture Danny Phantom. Later in the series, they started to express feelings for each other.

Now you see, THAT is good character arc and development. It could have took the direction of Valerie finding out Danny was the ghost that ruined her life but her putting that aside because she loved him. But Butch Hartman dropped this character arc and development and shoehorned Sam and Danny hooking up.

Everything he touches goes to shit

I think that sounds pretty shitty, honestly. MLAATR was more suited as a slice-of-life show in a neat setting with some exposition interspersed with creatively driven (strange villains and gadgets) fight scenes.

DBZ fight scenes would make it more like Samurai Jack, which I think would be unsuitable.

Well, if getting that show means we have to deal with people rushing to martyr themselves for it too, then it's only natural people would be pissed.

90% of /co/ only reacts that way because 90% of discussion about that shit is self-congratulatory garbage based on half-measures. The board would be better overall if people hid threads or learned how to scroll past that circle-jerking garbage, but most posters can't.
