Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel (Phineas and Ferb)

Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel is a cross-over episode of the animated series Phineas and Ferb, that featured characters from Marvel Entertainment. It aired on August 16, 2013, on Disney Channel and on August 25, 2013, on Disney XD. The special was released on DVD on October 1, 2013.

Plot
When Dr. Doofenshmirtz's latest invention, the Power-Drain-inator, causes the Marvel heroes to lose their powers, they team up with Phineas and Ferb to bring their powers back, to save the world from Doofenshmirtz and the Marvel villains.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is one of the very first Disney crossovers between an original Disney company and a Disney-bought company.
 * 2) Stays faithful to both franchises.
 * 3) Awesome animation that fits the style of the characters, especially on Marvel's side.
 * 4) Amazing action scenes, especially the final battle of the episode.
 * 5) Exciting and unpredictable plot.
 * 6) The idea of the Marvel superheroes trying to get their powers back is interesting.
 * 7) Great and comedic dialogue.
 * 8) Spider-Man's line can be extremely funny: "Man. That kid's got a weird-shaped head".
 * 9) A very catchy rap song, that the Marvel superheroes finally get their superpowers back.
 * 10) Red Skull, M.O.D.O.K., Venom and Whiplash are menacing villains.
 * 11) Major Monogram trying to imitate Nick Fury's look is pretty funny.
 * 12) Emotional scenes of Phineas getting angry at Candace for interfering with their chance to save the world, which is a nice change of pace from his usually optimistic shtick.
 * 13) The duet Candace and Isabella sing together about being useless to the team despite trying to help is very sad.
 * 14) Candace and Isabella are adorable tomboys, as always.
 * 15) Two words: Stan Lee.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While the plot is exciting, how the superheroes lose their powers seems kind of forced.
 * 2) All the fight scenes are one-sided.
 * 3) While satisfying, Phineas shouting at Candace for interfering seems a little mean-spirited and out of character for Phineas.
 * 4) Captain America was not featured in the episode. However, his arch enemy, the Red Skull, was.
 * 5) The superheroes' powers being switched can be a bit of a stretch:
 * 6) *The idea of Spider-Man having the powers of the Hulk is pretty unoriginal, since Spider-Man already had super strength along with his radioactive spider powers.
 * 7) * Iron Man's suit suddenly stopped working after being affected by Doofenshmirtz's inator. Which made no sense because Tony never had any powers to begin with, and his suit can still be broken down to pieces.
