>>115842937I honestly don't remember that many episode or moments of him being a dick. Like, in the very first episode introducing Buford and they have a fight you'd think that'd be the episode that'd show off Phineas more "edgy" side but if I recall he was pretty chill the entirety of that episode as well.
I don't know, it's been a long while since I've seen the show but I honestly don't remember what OP is even talking about. Only difference from early to late seasons I noticed/remember is Phineas actually sounding way more childlike early on before his voice getting more deeper and flanderized.
