User blog comment:Ultimatephinferbfan/Alt. Doofenshmirtz Might not be the main villian./@comment-3473686-20110413211904/@comment-3347644-20110414142210

Before I begin, I really do believe this plot twist with alt. Phineas will occur. It only seems inevitable to provide that level of necessary suspense and shock. Quite honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to find that it was he who nearly dropped Phineas, Ferb, and Candace into the lava. Thus, the subsequent theory is spoken on such a basis.

"That seems like a logical enough observation, but despite the whole 'peace' thing going on with Alt. Ferb, he still seems less "telling" than the other characters, same as in the normal setting of the show. The sort of mysterious air leaves slight uncertainty about his alignment, though you would assume that he's the same alignment as Alt. Phineas."

Phineas is passionate about near everything he encounters. An alternate reality, I'm sure, will be unable to waver such. Of course, our Phineas will dedicate himself to opposing alt. Doofenshmirtz and his advocates - a stark contrast from alt. Phineas, who exudes betrayal (if this plot twist does transpire).

From my perspective, Ferb is not as animated (no pun intended) as Phineas. Once again, we have to recognize a slight similarity between realities. Alt. Ferb's moral conduct will be much more in tact than alt. Phineas', who is *so* impassioned in his battle for alt. Doofenshmirtz that all other acumen dissapears. Alt. Ferb would more than likely empathize with Phineas, Ferb, and Candace, vindicating them in the final battle sequence.

"I agree with you on Alt. Phin, though - he seems happy, but not near as happy as his normal counterpart. Now the question is whether that's because of his disillusionment from living in a dystopian society, or something else entirely... (Small note: Notice that neither Alt. Phin or Alt. Ferb is on the game cover? Trying to retain the element of surprise? Not enough room on the box? Or another reason?) "

Very interesting argument raised! Alt. Phineas and Ferb may have become so broken, so corrupt from this alternate reality, they are unable to distinguish contentment.

As for the game cover, I must admit that such a thought never came to mind. I'll run with the element of surprise for now, because I do remember seeing alt. Phineas and Ferb as playable characters in the screenshots. Then again, you never know what's going to transpire - our Phineas and Ferb may have to disguise themselves as their alternate selves, etc. World of possibilities.

"Another point is Alt. Perry being evil; many of the other second-dimension characters are assumed to be a more exaggerated version of the normal ones; however, Alt. Perry doesn't seem to fit this at all. And what's with the bionic suit? Did he maybe have an accident (a la Quantum Boogaloo), and Alt. Doof tried to take advantage of that in an entirely different way to how his usual self would? Or did he switch sides as part of a ploy/agreement to protect Alt. Phin and Alt. Ferb?"

Oh. Once again, very intriguing. He's shown battling our Perry in the teaser trailer, correct? If that's the case, he may simply be an advocate of alt. Doofenshhmirtz. It could very well become more in depth, though, when his true motivations are revealed.

Thank you for the wonderful response!
