First, we will learn how Marvel heroes Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk lost their powers at the hands of Dr. Doofeshmirtz and his merry band of super villains (Red Skull, Whiplash, Venom, and M.O.D.O.K., respectively). Then we will see what happens when Candace stops busting and tries to help. Hilarity promises to ensue (where hilarity equals waffles). Also, adventure!
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, the creators of Phineas and Ferb, as well as Marvel’s Cort Lane, and some of the cast: Ashley Tisdale (Candace) and Alyson Stoner (Isabella), Fred Tatasciore (Hulk), Travis Willingham (Thor), and Adrian Pasdar (Iron Man), to discuss the best crossover ever!
However, my favorite moment came as we were talking to Tatasciore and Willingham. My youngest son asked about the art of smashing, and Tatasciore, in his Hulk voice, discussed the assorted smashings of his youth. He then asked my son if he enjoyed smashing, to which my boy responded by smashing the plastic cup in front of Willingham with all the force of a gamma-filled 7-year-old. Luckily, both Tatasciore and Willingham thought it was hilarious and it soon became the running joke of the day.
A lot of we discussed during the Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel interview contains potential spoilers, so I am going to be a bit cryptic when I say that Baljeet will be okay. Also, you’ll never think of waffles without a bit of backstory. Maybe some syrup.
Lane added, “And we don’t ever use bullets. It’s all lasers and ray guns.”
Basically, the Marvel characters are slightly softer than they would appear in their own properties, and they partake in 100% more song and dance numbers, but for the most part they stay true to their Disney form.
You may have noticed that none of Marvel’s female heroes are featured in Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, but that doesn’t mean that the boys do all the work. Isabella and Candace have their moment, and they make the most of it.
It’s a metaphor.
