Didn't think this episode was great. Also Disney have to have messed with the episode order, because why are we getting so much Webby over the other characters so early?

They did, there was an interview posted that mentioned the lack of Huey focused episode is because of that.

I went back and looked at the old DuckTales Magica DeSpell to see what ideas they'd take from that, and I'd forgotten that her raven familiar was, in the cartoon, her brother, shapeshifted. Poe DeSpell. I mention this only because with Lena being a niece, Poe might actually come up again.

This episode was the kind of predictable fun that the average old Ducktales episode was. Despite this, the Magica reveal was pretty wild. I initially thought Lena was Magica in a disguise or a modernized 2017 witch.

I like that one of the triplets, I suspect Huey, offered to give up his place on the kayak to Webby. It's a cute little moment, establishing they do care about including her in their silly kid adventures and aren't just locking her out without realising it.

Phylodox posted:I thought it was obvious: Webby teaching Lena the value of family ironically convinced her to side with her evil aunt, which is going to bite them in the tail feathers later. I'm not sure about that. It sounded like Lena was a double agent from the beginning, and that fits with how she acted. Assuming she's been watching the main kids for a while, she waited for the first moment when one of them was alone and outside and threw a set of bottles that drew Webby right over. And instead of going to a normal rave or club, she brought Webby to the junkyard and messed with the Beagle Boys; if Lena had been watching for a while she'd know Ma Beagle has a grudge against Webby. This gave her the opportunity to do some high-stakes bonding as Webby shows off her best skills and then drive a wedge between her and the triplets. She might have even gotten captured on purpose to give the night a good climax.

And her whole "Family sucks" attitude throughout the episode.

Alexeythegreat posted:I'm sure it was "I'm in" as in "I have successfully infiltrated the McDuck family" That's certainly the reading I'd take from it. If she wasn't willing to help Magica before I think it'd be important to establish that, and that the reason she decided differently was because of Webby's actions and affection for her own family. That, or at least not have her carry around a magic amulet that lets your communicate with your aunt at all times and instead, having to go find it because she'd left that decision behind and was changing her mind.

It may be that she's not fond of her immediate family while she's close with her aunt. It also may be the case of her being involved with Magica out of duress.

It seems kind of obvious in hindsight that Lena was most likely just playing Webby from the start so she could get access to the mansion. It's possible she could end up switching sides later on though.

It's worth noting that while it can definitely be held as the through line for the episode, Lena herself never has that revelation. Her opinion of the boys and family never changes from "they're more trouble than they're worth", and the only revelation she has at the climax of the episode is "all family does is fight"; a revelation she uses to manipulate the Beagle Boys. She does help Webby rescue the triplets, but it doesn't seem to be because her opinion on the value of family itself has changed, so much as because she's Webby's friend. Larryb posted:It seems kind of obvious in hindsight that Lena was most likely just playing Webby from the start so she could get access to the mansion. It's possible she could end up switching sides later on though. I'd say it's almost guaranteed that she'll end up helping Webby and in doing so defeating Magica de Spell. Probably as part of the season one climax, given that Magica herself seems to be set up as a long running story line. Which I'm happy about, because this episode did a pretty good job showing Webby needs at least one friend of her own and can't be just friends with the triplets. Also that having a jaded but well traveled friend balances Webby's naivety and overly specific skills.

Jerusalem posted:I'm catching up and the scene where Mrs Beakley quietly watches Donald causing a gas fire in the swimming pool was loving beautiful. I was honestly a bit sad that he didn't outright punch the Beagle Boys but even though the tone is different now they probably don't want any outright violence going on that isn't just light slapstick. He looked like he was going to deck the guy in the back of the head first before he got into that whole spinning around thing. My only REAL complaint so far with the show is in this episode and I think it has something to do with the new order of the episodes. Its only been two episodes since the Beagle Boys got arrested and now they're all out, not to mention the new character just grated on me. Still, I like the plot hooks and the way this is building up to a reveal, much like the reveal at the end of the pilots.

It would be funny if one of the episodes that was supposed to go between the last one and this one is about Ma Beagle breaking out of jail. It'd fit in the Disney Afternoon tradition. Remember how most of Darkwing Duck's villains appeared before their own origin episodes?

Did she even do anything incriminating in the episode? The audience is aware of her intentions, but cast in the show probably don't have much on her. Or any of her sons for that matter, since the most I can recall them doing is intimidating some employees.

He does not question yours, for you are insignificant to him. That pacing may seem a bit weird, but they usually know what they're doing. As long a they don't do stupid stuff like using a character before the episode they are introduced.

Angones seems to mostly be upset by the fact that the disrupted order messes with character focus and local vs. global flow is thrown off, so I hope that these re-arrangements aren't so blatantly bad that they casually include characters who haven't been formally introduced yet. At the same time, I can see why he wouldn't want to blatantly piss of the people who write his meal ticket no matter how much they disrupt his episode order. I guess we'll find out shortly: apparently, the next episode we're about to see was scheduled to be the LAST episode of the half-season. So if Gladstone and Fenton are just randomly there in that episode without any formal introduction we'll know that Disney XD gives zero care to these sorts of things.
