ok but can we talk about how in the original poster, everyone (except Kevin) is looking at the camera? itâs not inherently framed as romantic, we only interpret the poster as romantic in hindsight because Mitchie and Shane have a romance in the film.
but in the pnf redraw, Ferb and Vanessa are looking at each other. and itâs clear they were going for a romantic vibe here which. gross. GROSS GROSS GROSS.
and to make matters worse!!! Candace!!! Candace is LOOKING AT THEM AS IF SHE GREATLY SUPPORTS THIS ROMANCE BETWEEN HER 9 YR OLD BROTHER AND THE COOL OLDER TEENAGE GIRL SHES FRIENDS WITH. LIKE. HUH.
theyâve taken a poster of characters looking at the camera and inviting the audience in and turned it into just. ferbnessa city. and I hate it.
And Ferb being on top of a speaker to look taller than Vanessa is particularly insidious. The average Instagram user will see this while scrolling, maybe like, and move on within a few seconds. They might not register the speaker or his legs, especially since theyâre partially hidden behind the Camp Rock logo and a flash of light, respectively. this is meant to evoke act your age but this isnât act your age. thatâs a whole 9 year old.
also. not saying they copied me but. I redrew a Disney channel poster and put phineas on a crate to make him seem taller and called it out in my Instagram caption last yearâŚ.except when I did it it was purely for aesthetics and a visual gag and itâs not weird bc he was standing with Isabella whoâs canonically the same age as him and often depicted as tallerâŚanywayâŚ.. did I cause thisđľâđŤ
