While there's still no real news on the show's return, I've noticed a lot of Launchpad bumpers on DisneyXD and the app featuring several gags from episodes that have yet to air. Also, DT 2017 director/writer Dana Terrace is going on to work on her own show Owl House.

just a minor  but Dana was only a director on Ducktales, not a writer (though not to downplay her or anything, I do think Owl House looks interesting)

you might be mixing her up with Noelle Stevenson, who had a story credit on the pilot and co-wrote the Neverrest ep

What is the status of this show? I thought I remember hearing that like a whole long season was ordered (20+ episodes). Is that true and they're just still making the rest + Disney's unknowable scheduling, or is it in some kind of limbo where they've aired all the episodes that were ordered/made and we don't know if anymore will be ordered or not?

It's already been renewed for a second season, so clearly Disney wants it to continue. However, we still have no idea when the rest of the first season will air.

Still at the same attitude of releasing episodes like they're releasing hostages. (better than Cartoon Network, who release episodes like Italians release hostages)

It seems like every series does that kind of poo poo these days. I know streaming services tend to promote viewing in batches, but I don't see any other reason to be so irregular.

This is why I'm actually kind of a fan of Voltron's bisected seasons that come out like three months apart, and then six months apart from the end one block to the next. It seems to balance the workload of actually making the show with letting people actually watch episodes of it in a timely manner. Like, apparently work had been underway on DuckTales for nearly a year and a half before the first episode even went to air Though stuff like Cartoon Network sitting on entire seasons of Steven Universe and Adventure Time for no reason I will never understand even if it's explained to me in bullet point detail.

IIRC consensus in the SU thread is more or less that CN is trying to emulate Disney's scheduling voodoo, extremely badly, and their TV schedulers literally do not give a poo poo.

Laregly because they could poo poo in a bag, film them setting it alight, label the video as a Teen Titans Go episdoe and still break even.

I'm sure whatever arcane logic Disney bases their release schedule on has a lot of money and very smart people behind figuring out the optimal rate at which to trickle out content. It'll be interesting to see if anything changes when they roll out their streaming service.

Little Update on the  side: The Episode that is supposed to be Episode 4 (if you count "Woo-Hoo!" as two episodes like we do) is indeed numbered as Episode 4 over here, instead of being numbered Episode 10.

Some people on Reddit are reporting that a new episode aired today in Sweden and Russia. The Russian one's in English but only available in most other places in the form of  .Title: The Missing Links of Moorshire.

Arguably all their series suffer from it some degree, but Star Vs. for example has got it surprisingly light. Its biggest problem is the hiatuses after each batch of episodes and the complete lack of communication on when the show will return. Gravity Falls meanwhile was a hot mess, but that's as much down to the production lagging behind schedule as it is Disney scheduling voodoo. There's no excuse for Ducktales, though. It's their new big name cartoon, was doing incredibly well and here we are, on a nonsense hiatus with no idea when it'll start airing again. Oh except it is airing, in countries that aren't the US. Where they're already showing new episodes. From the second half of the season, which is no doubt complete if it's getting dubbed already.

Eh, Star has still gotten it pretty bad-there was nearly a year between the end of the first season and the start of the second season, and last year was exclusively made up of lengthy hiatuses stretched between frantic episode dumps. It's airing regularly now, at least, but there's probably going to be a lengthy hiatus between Seasons 3 and 4. Still though, it could be worse. Poor Steven Universe

On the bright side, Star vs. has been consistently able to put out a full season in a 12-month period. The hiatuses only feel long because the bomb format compresses the airing schedule.

Not sure where it came from, but there's a new episode of DuckTales out there now and it features a pair of colorful ponies with suspiciously familiar voice actors.

Or is it just something they do for series that are only lightly serialized? Because I didn't hear anything about such schedules for Star Wars Rebels. Nah they dicked around with Rebels real hard too, it's just what Disney does.

And on an unrelated note; the golf episode may seem unremarkable, but it kinda demonstrates the strength of the new show's specific formula; specifically, with the triplets now having different personalities and interests. In the old show and comics, the triplets would all generally have to be either interested in, bored by or content to watch Scrooge's golf game, while here, you see a diversity of reactions; Huey's clinical interest out of an obligation (and coping mechanism for dealing with magical shenanigans), Dewey's original dismissal turning into genuine interest as Scrooge puts in effort to get him involved (and the resulting conflict when Scrooge wants to do things his way) and Louie's boredom turning into opportunism as he's willing to put up with Glomgold if he's paid enough. (and ha, Tiger the world's best golf player) Between them and Webby you basically get the full range of reactions when introducing people to a sport; interest as spectator, interest as player, disinterest and wildly misplaced enthusiasm. The newcomers adapt to the culture of the sport and vice versa, and there's reminders that to even the old guard, there were old ways that were different and alien.

I agree and that's a good post (And a great episode, probably one of my favorites thus far), but you may want to throw that in spoiler tags since the episode isn't legally out yet.

Haven't watched the episode yet, but I am kinda digging all the mounting subtle implications that Louie is on track to become some kind of Gen-Z version of Glomgold in like 20 years.

nine-gear crow posted:Haven't watched the episode yet, but I am kinda digging all the mounting subtle implications that Louie is on track to become some kind of Gen-Z version of Glomgold in like 20 years. Interesting take on it... You might not be wrong, but the episode highlights a key difference between them; that Glomgold is petty, sociopathic and doesn't know when to quit, while Louie simply won't engage in a venture that he won't get any obvious gain out of, though he will react when those he cares about are threatened or exploited. And he can display quite good judgement there; he knows he can milk Glomgold for tips because nobody else wants to work for him on short notice, and puts up with Glomgold's tantrums by withholding his labour til he gets paid. Louie is lazy, but also smart, and that can be an excellent combination for getting through life; don't do more work than you have to, but also make sure you get the most out of the work you do. On the episode itself, Glomgold's tendency to overthink things and ignore common sense, despite having good enough business acumen (combined with ruthlessness) to become a billionaire, is clearly shown even in his golf game, where at Louie's accidental advice his performance immediately improves when he stops overthinking things and just focuses on the task in front of him. To an extent, Scrooge suffers that, too; the druid golf course is designed to throw curveballs and require risk-taking, which Scrooge's safe play is very poorly suited for compared to Dewey's talent and beginner's luck.

There's another episode out there, and it's got some bad news about Duckworth. It also features the most cliché murder mystery twist of all time once you stop and think about it.
