can we talk about act your age, guys? let's talk about act your age. unmarked spoilers be here, so watch out to all you clowns who haven't watched it yet.

let's talk about the totally ridiculous notion that phineas never noticed isabella's affections. sure, i'd buy it in the main show, but ten years later? he always seemed to me like he was just messing with her.

let's talk about the characters that totally should have appeared but didn't. i'm talking more than a cameo role of candace, definitely jeremy and stacy... how about monty? what the heck happened between him and vanessa? pinhead pierre. pierre gives me l i f e.

how about baljinger, huh? whatever happened to baljinda? even a single throwaway gag about it would have sufficed. i would have accepted even some bujeet hints.

speaking of baljeet, is it just me or were his eyebrows really thick? it was kinda distracting...

and buford. i did like where they went with him, and he's really the only character who seems to have gone through a lot of change in the last ten years. i don't really have many complaints about buford i just wanted to bring that up.

F R I E N D Z O N E ????

is it just me or did it seem like ferb's line was hinting that they wouldn't get together at the end

i mean, in retrospect it means that they couldn't force it and had to just let it happen

but i was seriously hoping there would be a big confession and

they would just both accept it and stay just friends

because phineas and isabella actually have a really good friendship that clearly lasted most of their lives and it could very easily get ruined by their budding romance

while we're on the subject, this josses the aro ace phineas headcanon several of us have latched onto

ace phineas is still possible, though that clearly won't be addressed in a disney cartoon so

don't really like that ferb and vanessa happened

i liked the inclusion of the fireside girls but i'm not really a big fan of their designs they just all look... taller. eh.

the designs in general, actually. i've never been a fan of kicsterash and well... kinda makes me wish i'd shown dan and swampy some of my fanart when i met them at comic-con.

I MEAN THEY SAW MY "MOM SUIT" BUT

okay but that's enough of my issues with it, now that that's out of the way... the good points

the opening and closing scenes with dan and swampy were a+ i loved it

everything about the perry/doof/owca plot was great, from carl being promoted to commander, to irving being an intern, to the fact that they're all a part of a bowling league.

doof's attempts at having a midlife crisis were great just... just really great

candace's cameo, while short, was good. i like the concept of her being a lawyer.

lawrence's midlife crisis about having a different kind of tea, now that was a nice touch. wish we could have seen more of him and linda but, well, it was mostly about the kids, so.

honestly this could have been fleshed out to an hour and included more characters

they were kinda limited by their time... limit, i guess. i can forgive the missed opportunities in character appearances.

maybe a credits montage like in the christmas special would have worked, though.

i just

i think i want a sequel that addresses my specific concerns and does a better job of explaining what's happened over that ten year period

of course i'm rambling here, nitpicking a lot. what did y'all think?
