  • by FerbFlecher151 What a long wait it has been. Ever since it was announced last year at Comic-Con 2012, Mission Marvel has been highly anticipated from both P&F and Marvel fans. But does it live up to the massive hype? In some ways it exceeds it, while in other ways it falls somewhat below expectations. The story is that Doof has built a Power-Drain-Inator, which will drain the power away from anything it hits. Perry stops him, but a beam bounces of Phineas and Ferb's satellite and hits the Marvel heroes, draining their powers away. Because of this, super villians, realizing their chance, team up with Doof to destroy the world. Basic enough. One of the major concerns going into this episode is whether the Marvel heroes would transfer well into the world of Phineas and Ferb. While it is intially somwhat distracting, after a few minutes they fit so well into the P&F universe that it feels like they were always there. I was also suprised at how many references there were to Marvel. Some of them are so obscure that you have to be a hardcore Marvel fantatic like myself to understand them. I mean, what other cartoon would feature would reference Howard The Duck? Most the songs in this episode are in the background with the exception of Only Trying To Help (thankfully, the Marvel heroes do not sing), with the standouts being the aforemetioned and My Evil Buddies and Me, with the latter being one of the funniest sequences P&F has put out in a while. All the songs that play while the Marvel heroes are fighting are good, but nothing special. It doesn't help that most of other songs besides Only Trying To Help and My Evil Buddies and Me were strangely absent from the original U.S. broadcast (here in Canada, however, they were in it). Halfway throug h the episode, however, the special tries throw some development for Candace and Phineas' relationship, and also Candace and Isabella's relationship. While the latter's development is appreciated as we rarely get to see them together, it builds up to a cliche and overused plot device in how "girls can be awesome too!" and all that jazz. It's pointless and all it really does delay the action. Mission Marvel is everything we wanted it to be: funny, action-packed and a great crossover in general, even if it bogged down by some rather cliche and pointless plot devices. I give Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel a A-.
