Also, Doofenshmirtz-2 (most likely) committed genocide while ruling his Tri-State Area. In short, Doof is perfectly capable of killing someone if he wants to.

Those two are relatively harmless cause in the episodes they capture the heroes, they don't exactly kill them.

Vanessa not giving up the doll her father gave her to another child who wants it isn't villainy by any means. It's not even morally wrong. The doll is really important to Vanessa because her father spent 10 years searching for it and never stopped looking. It's a symbol of how much he loves her. To the little girl, it's just another toy. Vanessa has sentimental value attached to that doll and the little girl needs to learn that sometimes you don't get the things you want and someone else has a right to their own stuff, even if you want it. The girl would probably give the doll away or forget about it in a box when she got to Vanessa's age. Vanessa is going to have that doll for the rest of her life because it's a testament to how dedicated her father is. When he passes away, it'll be a memento of him. It's wrong to expect Vanessa to give something like that up because it means so much to her.

[@nkbujvytcygvujno6006]

The general idea most fans have is, since they’re hardly alike, and, like Charlene says, they didn’t have a lot in common and wanted different things, the two must have sort of rushed into their relationship a bit when they were younger. After all, they aren’t good complements to each other. Even in the second dimension, the duet they sing mentions how different they are, how they “don’t agree on restaurants or where to holiday” and “we spend such little time together conversation’s never forced” (implying that it _was_ forced when they spent a lot of time together, they didn’t usually have much to talk about), giving you the idea that their relationship is easier when they’re apart. And heck, in the normal dimension, the last straw leading to their divorce was a puppet Doof got that Charlene couldn’t stand. So maybe they rushed into the relationship and marriage because they were young and really wanted a happy ending, even if they barely got along. And since Doofenschmirtz had such a sad love life before he met Charlene, he just wanted to believe that _this_ one would work out and be his happily ever after, because _she_ didn’t leave after the first date or dump him for a whale or something. So since it wasn’t _so_ bad that they were treating each other terribly, they hoped their differences would just work themselves out eventually. I don’t know how exactly Charlene felt about the situation, but she probably held on for the same reasons, wanting it to all work out... until it hadn’t, for a long time, and she had to put her foot down.

Something I saw brought up somewhere about Doof is that a key clue to him not actually being evil comes from instances where he teams up with other villains, much of the time ultimately either they grow tired of his antics, he find himself disturbed by the extent of their villainy and often ends up working with the good guys to stop them or a mix of both. This is because he was never truly evil, and when he encounters it he is naturally repulsed.

[@teddyfilli3079]

Im currently writing a fic. And at some point doof joins my villain protagonist group. But I plan it where there are little hints that Doof isn't as onboard with the main group's more evil actions over the course of the story

[@DoofenSpyroDragon16]

Yes! I love that about him!! I love when he teams up with OWCA against the other bad guys 😁

[@Quomvi]

I love how doof had a really different effect from other characters, while characters like BoJack parents, Homer, etc who had bad parents and became bad, Doof actually seems to understand the pain of having cruel parents and tries to give Vanessa the best life that she could have.

Although Doofenshmirtz did technically murder that guy, his inator wasn't lethal. He just zapped that biker to another dimension, where some giant alien baby crushed him to death with a hammer. Regardless, I'd like to see Doof race Bryan Mills to get their respective daughters back from kidnappers.

[@mr_fahrenheight1728]

I just realized, the only reason that Doof wanted to take over the Tri-State Area, was because Linda said that he might be able to on their date. And because this was the only bit of positive reinforcement he had ever received in his life, he tried to.

Very true

[@flaming_hinooka4386]

Doof is proof that having an abusive childhood is no excuse to be an abuser yourself. He could've chosen to be a horrible parent to Vanessa because that's how he was raised, but instead, he wanted her to experience the childhood he never had and gave her the love he never received when he was a kid. Now THAT'S an MVP when you see it.

Putting it as a choice is a huge oversimplification. When abuse is all you know, it's really hard to be different.

[@alizaubaid2784]

“No, that’s true. I am an idiot.” No, it isn’t. Heinz Doofenshmirtz was one of the best, most hard working, best developing, loving and kind character in the whole series. He saved and took care of a kitten. He took care of his daughter, tried to give her the best childhood, so that she didn’t turn out like him, let her work for his rivalling company, let her DATE the son of his rival and also have you EVER seen any Perry and Heinz moments? They are the best frenemies I have ever seen. Over the years, they got rid of their rivalry, and like became the best of friends. I honestly don’t think your an idiot!

[@justastaythatwillnotbename2990]

I'm reading this just as that part came on

[@nickksters]

The reason Doof is the best is because he doesn’t hold grudges against people forever- well except Roger- but like Perry- every time Perry defeats Doof at the end of each episode- by the next day, he’s over it and also doesn’t hold grudges against his parents 99%- and having a healthy relationship with his daughter also makes him wholesome- Lastly he doesn’t hold grudges against his ex’s which is big- Ya know, I think just having Perry and Vanessa there made a difference in his life since they were THERE for him while when he was a child no one was there for him-
