Villain Protagonists Tournament - Tumblr Posts

Okay here’s the thing. I love and adore Doof as much as the next high class cartoon fan, but if you are voting for him, you genuinely do not know what a “villain protagonist” is. The main protags of phineas and Ferb are Phineas and Ferb, and even within the classic doof-centered B plot, Perry the Platypus is the one in the protagonist role.

Like all other campaign arguments are thrown aside. One of these guys is an actual villain protagonist, and the other one is a villain antagonist. It’s not your fault, Doof, you are amazing and iconic, but this is not your banner to fly and I will not deprive you of your proper taxonomy.

Propaganda

Heinz Doofenshmirtz: He has a tragic backstory. It’s so tragic that not even his parents showed up for his birth. He also has a found family of ocelots! And a nemesis with whom he has a mildly homoerotic rivalry. He predictably gets his plans utterly decimated each time, but he never gives up! Give the guy props for tenacity. He’s also legitimately good at building crazy machines, his downfall is his habit of building self-destruct buttons. He’s ridiculous. He tries so hard. He’s such a babygirl.

Invader Zim: An autistic icon who paved the way for so many shows people praise today - Steven Universe, She-Ra Princesses of Power, Hazbin/Helluva, Owl House and so many more. Also, a non binary icon, as this beautiful small bean rocks a pink dress and on multiple occasions is the draggest of queen's. Vote Zim for the road he died paving for all the recent LGBT faves to run on.
