YOU KNOW WHO THIS MFCKER LOOK LIKE LOWKEY?
LOOOOOK-
HE'S THE FUCKIN GOOZIM FROM PHINEAS AND FERB ACROSS THE 2ND DIMENSION
if I had a nickel for every time a cartoon movie of one of my childhood fandoms contained a villain who's a cuboid shaped monster, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that this quote is actually being used in reference to the movie it's from, right?

So... this is a hot take that I really hope people don't take offense to, but--
Candace Against the Universe was a pointless movie.
I would like to make it clear that this is not a hate post. I do not hate the movie or the people who enjoyed it. If you liked it, great. Me? I give it a C+ for average. It was not a bad movie. It was funny, it made me smile and remember all the fun I have had watching Phineas and Ferb over the years and it seemed like everyone had fun working on it.
Heck, the movie did great. It did better than Mulan (which isn't a GREAT comparison but--!). People enjoyed it.
But there were a few things that just bugged me about it so here's a polite critique on a few things that needed improvements.
1. It did not feel like a movie. You want a Phineas and Ferb movie? Go watch 2nd Dimension. That felt like an actual movie. Against the Universe felt like a two-part episode that was stretched out to make the time of a movie.
2. There were all these little side plots and random events that felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. (Isabella and Doof arguing with one another comes to mind) While having minor side plots in a movie is usually a good thing, these particular ones were just... odd. They felt disjointed and disconnected from most of the plot.
3. Adding to this fact there were multiple (and I mean MULTIPLE) jokes that were stretched out much longer than they needed to. It happened enough that it felt like padding for time (see point one). Examples include: Candace and her smoothie, Phineas and Co looking at and away from a building to hear a musical cue, Breaking the 4th Dimension/4th Wall, Candace escaping, and shenanigans with the treadmill. Were these jokes bad? No. But they went on for far too long, far too often.
4. The movie's plotline was pointless. Literally. Candace's self-worth issues have been addressed multiple times and this movie just rehashed it all over again. Heck, she even goes to space again (Queen of Mars). I am made to believe this movie takes place sometime in The Summer. And the way it ends, it kind of feels like Candace is going to stop busting (which we know does not happen). So... what was the point?
5. No offense to Perry, but his entire point in the movie was basically Deus Ex Machina. Which was sad. Because Perry deserves more than being a Deus Ex Machina.
To wrap this whole thing up, Candace Against the Universe, while enjoyable and nostalgic, fell short of my personal expectations of what a Phineas and Ferb movie should be. It felt hollow compared to the original film and more like a money grab from Disney.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
(And to those wondering, yes I have an idea of what I would have wanted to see for a Phineas and Ferb movie that I will probably put in a future post)
