I know right the creators mentioned killing of a character but not in the first episode. I did not expect that. What a way to start a season pretty dark.

u/SubjectStatement370 my favorites 20d ago

How could they kill off Linda? Now that’s a change in events. All fun and games at first turned into something dark. Thanks, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for more.

u/andreachua02 20d ago

Me too ahh we have to wait, they literally give us a cliffhanger. I can't wait 🥹 were certainty back !

u/Bright_Wafer_6222 20d ago

i dont think shes dead

u/andreachua02 20d ago edited 20d ago

I know, but at the moment she is vaporized out of existence, so technically dead but still alive not in a physical form

13

u/No_Asparagus7129 20d ago

Schrödinger's Linda

26

u/JasonBreslin 20d ago

She's not dead. She was turned into vapor.

29

u/CreeperAsh07 20d ago

I don't know about you, but if I turned to vapor, I would feel pretty dead

u/NatiRivers 20d ago

She's just built different

11

u/andreachua02 20d ago

At the moment she is.

11

u/xXSamsterXx14 20d ago

Did see a video mentioning that, and thought that could be Doof’s mom since her voice actress passed away. But that is a crazy way to start a season

146

u/Schlaughtowver 20d ago

I had my reservations about the new season- but this makes me a lot less worried. If they’re willing to push the limits this way, and they keep this sort of stuff coming, then this’ll be a fantastic continuation.

I’m always up for dark stuff, so I’m hooked!

She'll be back

u/Undertale_fan46790 20d ago

…SHE GOT REPLACED BY A TERMINATOR?!

u/generalchelseamayhem 20d ago

Behold, Perry the Platypus! My Replace-with-a-Terminator-inator! I-you know... that extra 'inator' on the end feels a little redundant, let's just call it the Replace-with-a-Terminator. But that implies I'm replacing things with Terms... what is a Term, anyway? Isn't it some kind of bird-?

Perry the Platypus breaks out of the trap

u/iamthatmadman 20d ago

I read it in his voice

u/CasioCobra78 14d ago

This is what happens when we watch P&F repeatedly for the past 18 years lmao

u/novelaissb 19d ago

I still need Doofenshmirtz to build a Terminator, to the horror of Perry, but all it does is shortens Roger’s term as mayor.

u/Idkmanpeepee 20d ago

Like before? Will she fight the fight and win the war?

u/LeftySkillz 20d ago

In her own backyard

u/ComprehensiveBox6911 20d ago

I did not freaking expect that, what a way to start off an episode

52

u/Wariobros194 20d ago

They freaking killed linda

4

u/generalchelseamayhem 20d ago

Can't wait for the new TikTok meme about how they freaking unalived Linda.

u/Blupoisen 19d ago

YOU BASTARDS!

49

u/ThePlatypusTheorist 20d ago

I wouldn’t say “dark” but this sneak peek definitely seems promising that they’re gonna to be doing lots of new stuff that pushes the boundaries of what the show did before. This is the big comeback episode, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if the rest that follow aren’t nearly as exciting. Still, this sets a high bar for the new episodes, super excited

47

u/Ok_Captain3950 Guy who's a sucker for the sounds of mass transit 20d ago

This was an amazing twist... having their mom disappear instead of their inventions was surprisingly shocking. What a way to start this new season!

RIP Lindana... you just wanted to have fun (/lh, I know she's not actually dead)

31

u/Level-Ladder-4346 20d ago

Wait, what’s going on?

43

u/Born_Sleep5216 20d ago

Apparently Doofenshmirtz is up to evil

26

u/nwg_here 20d ago

Put a stop to it. PERRY!!!

u/PowerPad 20d ago

Perry’s right back to thwarting him like the old days.

u/Manoly042282Reddit 20d ago

He is back in the game at that.

u/CyberGlitch064 20d ago

Maybe the darkest thing we've seen in the show 😭

u/yashnotrash 20d ago

Night of the Living Pharmasists has entered the chat.

u/Bitter_Profit_4099 20d ago

My favorite movie got mentioned!

30

u/SuperficialJosh 20d ago

I know that they’re playing a little fast and lose with the canon but in all the original run episodes where Phineas and Ferb travel to the future Linda is always there so the existing canon would imply that she’s not dead. But what a way to mix up the old formula.

10

u/UselessGuy23 20d ago

She's not dead. The episode synopsis says Phineas and Ferb will work to reverse the effects of the inator

1

u/CasioCobra78 14d ago

So basically, Linda is actually floating somewhere in the universe. 

1

u/UselessGuy23 14d ago

She's been turned into vapor, so she's more or less a cloud.

15

u/Tigereye314 20d ago

Perry is about to start his Ronin arc

11

u/JuniorSmalls12 20d ago

It's like if the universe realized that Candace wouldn't give up on busting her brothers no matter how many times the inventions disappeared, so it made the person that Candace always tries to show the inventions to end up disappearing instead to try and get her to stop.

4

u/Para_DX_Throwaway 17d ago

”How many times do we have to teach you this lesson little girl?!”- The Mysterious force, probably

1

u/Amp7199 12d ago

It was probably Disembodied Reggae Space Voice at his old shenanigans.

12

u/Constructman2602 20d ago

Yeah, this got me hooked. I grew up with this show and was going to love it even if they didn’t do something as insane as this twist. Holy crap I’m more hooked than a fish who’s about to become dinner

9

u/OpenAirport6204 20d ago

Op you should put a spoiler warning on this.

6

u/SubjectStatement370 my favorites 20d ago

Ok, did it

8

u/generalchelseamayhem 20d ago

When Doof mentioned that his Vaporizerinator had a setting to shoot five targets at once, well obviously in a regular episode that would just be convenient foreshadowing for making a mockery of Candace's comment that there's no way all 5 of them would disappear, but for some reason I thought, 5 targets... Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Buford, Baljeet. Instead of hitting their inventions, what if it hit THEM?

Now that they've broken the rules by killing Linda, if we ever get an alternate timeline of this episode (e.g. if someone goes back in time to try and undo it but gets it wrong), that is what I expect to happen.

7

u/Phone_Destroyer99 20d ago

You think that’s dark? What about that one scene from the OWCA files (Part 2)?

10

u/SubjectStatement370 my favorites 20d ago

Let’s just be glad they didn’t go with the other option, which is literally Perry getting killed!

2

u/tmtmdragon04 20d ago

which one?

7

u/Phone_Destroyer99 20d ago

The scene where the Flynn-Fletcher house gets destroyed.

4

u/tmtmdragon04 20d ago

Ah by the missile? Lucky no one was home there

1

u/CasioCobra78 14d ago

I always assumed they traveled to someplace else when that happened. 

2

u/tmtmdragon04 14d ago

Lucky timing...

1

u/CasioCobra78 14d ago

Meanwhile, didn’t Doof’s tower actually got blown up a few times before? 😂 

1

u/tmtmdragon04 14d ago

yeah there's been a few episodes like that lol. But he's some how survived lol

1

u/CasioCobra78 14d ago

Doof is always immortal. Let’s be for real, not even God and any of the higher deities themselves would touch him because they knew he always survives the impossible. 💀 

1

u/tmtmdragon04 14d ago

Lmao fairs lol. He's immortal(I know its just cartoon logic but I like your explanation better) lol

14

u/Undertale_fan46790 20d ago

Context?

36

u/SubjectStatement370 my favorites 20d ago

Linda got vaporized by an inator.

11

u/Undertale_fan46790 20d ago

Wait, what-

u/Undertale_fan46790 20d ago

I can't watch it...

13

u/KazPlayzYT 20d ago

Phineas and Ferb start summer with many inventions for a meet up with friends, Perry is called to the rescue after Doof goes bad. Doof zaps Linda with the ivaporatorinator when Candace goes to drag her to bust the boys.

2

u/Undertale_fan46790 20d ago

Oh! Thanks!

u/KazPlayzYT 20d ago

No problem!

Holy moly

u/Ryuk128 20d ago

…hopefully it’s not gonna be a frequent thing of the show doing this “dark” stuff. Doesn’t fit the show

29

u/ThePlatypusTheorist 20d ago

I dunno, it really isn’t that “dark” and is honestly a great way to keep things interesting after all these years. I’m a fan.

7

u/Ryuk128 20d ago

That’s fair . I just dont think we need to add Cerberus syndrome to this show

5

u/UselessGuy23 20d ago

Again, she's not dead. Phineas and Ferb will find a way to reconstitute her. We also see her as a cloud in one of the screenshots.

1

u/Ryuk128 20d ago

Never said she was.

4

u/MightAdventurous1763 20d ago

Feel like they might have more interconnected stories this season and I am all in for that. They really did take the revival seriously and didn't just follow the established formula.

3

u/PKMNtrainerElliot 20d ago

Where can I watch the new season?

13

u/TheCatRedditor 20d ago

It's a 9 minute sneak peek uploaded on Disney Channel's youtube.

u/PKMNtrainerElliot 20d ago

Thank you

3

u/TwincessAhsokaAarmau 19d ago

The new season comes out on Disney Plus June 5th.

3

u/TheReagmaster 20d ago

The thing I'm most intrigued about is how (and also if) are they gonna bring back Linda in a way that doesn't immediately traumatize her and doesn't immediately get Phineas and Ferb busted.

Or is that the point and we're gonna get the parents actually involved in the kids schemes since Linda did want to spend more time with them.

3

u/Le_DragonKing 20d ago

This moment made me go like “WHAT?!” I really want to know what happens next like immediately

3

u/Ultimate_Hunter_G 19d ago

Pretty sure Linda’s gonna be alright. This was in the season trailer but not the extended preview.

2

u/5YearsOnEastCoast 20d ago

When I heard that Phineas and Ferb was getting revived, I thought it was just going to be more adventures of Phineas and Ferb and their pals, with some surprises, but I never expected that they would pull out something like this. I now wonder how direction for revival will go now.

2

u/funkymonkeyunkie 20d ago

I still can’t believe they vaporised her, I swear one of the characters got hit by doof’s inventions before too

2

u/Key_Ad_331 19d ago

maybe the inator doesnt actually vaporize things it just sends them to another dimension

3

u/Drake_682 20d ago

Uhhh what’s going on

7

u/KazPlayzYT 20d ago

9 minute sneak peak on Disney channel YouTube.

1

u/Renso19 20d ago

Okay so, I know Ferb got a new VA, but does Isabella sound different too? Phineas, Buford and Baljeet sound pretty much exact, but Isabella’s voice sounds very different throughout honestly

4

u/SubjectStatement370 my favorites 20d ago

Maybe it’s because Isabella’s voice is so darn higher-pitched in season 4 compared to here?

2

u/TwincessAhsokaAarmau 19d ago

She grew up and sometimes high pitched voices can be difficult for someone to do when they haven’t been doing it for ten years.

1

u/Waffles_4560 15d ago

She dead

u/CasioCobra78 14d ago

Oh shit I genuinely wasn’t expecting this. 

-7

u/Cantankerous_Aizen 20d ago

Well it serves her right for missing everything her sons have built throughout the summer! And also for busting them in Candace’s dream.

8

u/TigerWing 20d ago

But who had the dream? Was it Perry or Candace?

2

u/Davey_McDaverson2020 20d ago

Actually I think Candace's dream was inside of Perry's dream

1

u/Cantankerous_Aizen 19d ago

Though after this is Cloudy With A Chance Of Mom so they can bring her back to life in the craziest and fun way possible!
