I do like the character and respect her but she's not in my top three (Doof, Ferb, and Carl the Intern) mainly because I can never see myself as her (almost no one for that matter except for maybe a cross between Phineas and Doofenshmirtz).

One thing that I like about the character is screaming. Screaming is a fun thing, especially when it comes out of aboslutely no where. I enjoy loud, obnoxious noises every so often so that's one thing I like about her.

But sometimes I think she just needs to chill (oh my printers, I sound like a wanna-be-gangster) or else she'll end up in either the nut house or some type of mental therepy (which is where I probably should be instead of here). I do like it when she gets envolved with what Phineas and Ferb are doing. And I greatly appriecated it in 'Traffic Cam Caper' when she saved Phineas instead of the disc and gave him a hug. Things like that I enjoy.

And that concludes what I like about Candace since there really isn't that much, but I don't hate her, she's probably number seven on my list so I do like her, just not like her like I do Doofenshmirtz.

Having seen "Quantum Boogaloo", I really think that a straight jacket and a padded room (not the "Panic Room" underneath thier hosue) is what is needed for Candace. For the last few episodes, I "REALLY" think she has lost it. I really feel sorry for her mom, who has to put up with her constant complaints over what Phineas and Ferb are doing, as well as her hallucinations of seeing things that are not there.......but there is still hope, if Linda can get Candace into a psychiatric ward before she gets worse.

Am I the only one who thought that finally busting her brothers twenty years into the future would finally end her manic obsession? Honestly, Phineas and Ferb wouldn't even be in trouble for many of their recent feats (building a restaraunt, constructing emergentcy shelter, or finding Perry.) For a breif moment, I thought this episode was the official drop of that aspect of her personality. I'd love two see a two-dimensonal Candace.

I would think, but for the time being, she will remain the same. Maybe down the road, she will eventually realize the futility of what she is doing and stop, but that remains to be seen.

Heh, well, I thought she'd stop solely because when she went into the future, it was pretty clear that she never succeeded. So... she's just setting herself up to fail again and again. But hey, if that's what floats her boat.

That reminds me of a famous quote, which you may have heard:

"Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it"


Case in point - Candace must have a VERY slow learning curve not to know that every time she tries to bust her brothers, it will never succeed because something will always happen that causes her attempts to bust her brother to fail. When will she ever learn?

Well... I think "Those who don't learn from the future are doomed to do what they saw they would do" would be more appropriate, but that's not exactly... yeah.

I am not seeing Candace as a real person, just as a character in the show, which includes the many futile attempts for her to bust her brothers. It looks liked down the road (as per "Quantum Boogaloo"), she becomes more mature and stops busting her brothers (as Ferb notes, "At least she mellows with age") and even seems more tranquil, as Phinas noted.

The curious part is what causes her to all of a sudden to "finally" become more mature. Maybe we will never see that event in which we finally realizes that she needs to "grow up" and stop trying to bust her brothers. A lot of stories/speculation can be made from this, so we won't go there, since they may or may not end up being true.

There's nothing wrong with being irritated with a fictional character. I'm a bit more worried about all the infactuation over fictional characters....

Roy:

Shows are "supposed" have characters that you like and dislike.......that is how they end up being so interesting to watch. Look at shows and movies within the past.......I don't know, couple of decades or more. Chimneyvator makes a good point about that. Such also makes for scenes in shows and/or movies that make you happy, angry, sad, scared, etc...

Candace, as a character, is no different in this regard. Many of the fans of the show, myself included, wonder why she is so obsessed over busting her brothers instead of just simply enjoying life, and letting her brothers enjoy thier summer vacation.

Let's look at what you said again, shall we?

The irritation in your words about Candace in the most recent episode begs to differ.

I am irritated at Candace, as a character, which is normal. Anybody would agree that she is annoying for her "constantly " busting her brothers. That is what Chimneyvator also said. I also mentioned the hope that maybe down the road, she will finally become mature.

We dont know if she will buckle down.......maybe she will, mabe she won't. We will just have to wait and see. In the meantime, Candace will end up being a character that you will either love or will hate.

Well, whatever point you were trying to make was not very clear.

As of now, for those who are irritated with Candace, obviously, don't expect her to change anytime soon. Who knows, maybe Jeremy, if he is good enough, can talk Candace out of keeping on with the same antics of busting Phineas and Ferb.

Although I admit, she can be quite funny at times though.

Even when she's over 50 feet tall, she can be quite hilarious. Yes, she's good at playing the "big sister" role, both literally and figuratively.

Giant Candace is out, Peace!!

Ah, Candace. Such a misunderstood and for some, unnecessarily disliked character. Seriously, I was just on tv.com (no wonder many of you left that place) and I was astounded at many of the Candace haters over there.

Of course many of these haters seem to be oblivious to the seemingly obvious fact that Candace does indeed care very deeply for her brothers as pointed out both earlier in this thread and even in the show.

As for the reasons of why she tries to bust her brothers, I believe there are two main reasons. The first has already been mentioned on this thread multiple times, she fears for their safety. The second reason is I think she simply wants Linda to not think she's crazy and prove to her that she was never lying or seeing things. As another older sibling here, I can see where this would be very frustrating. This is why I think she tries to bust them even when they are not working on a dangerous project.

Of course, I'm sure the real reason is the continuity of the series, but hey, analyzing personalities can be interesting sometimes. Even with a fictional character.

Yu think Tv.com is bad? There's this person on FF.net who is a pretty good writer but man he must hate Candace. Just read this story here:

And maybe this one too:

anyway, She's awesome

Blackspiderman? Yes, I've tried reading some of his stuff. I agree he's a decent enough writer, but I couldn't get through his stories because his Candace hate was irritating me.

To stay on topic here, I agree, Candace is cool. Not my number 1 favorite but certainly in my top 3 favorite characters in the show.
