Ghost Leviathan posted:Given Scrooge's established very long history of far-fetched exploits, I think the idea is meant to be that Magica got herself really hosed up by some backfiring scheme, hence being a living shadow only clinging to existence by basically enslaving her niece. I don't think she is an actual Shadow or trapped as one. As one of her orders was to bring the dime to her in person.

It might not be the same for the current Ducktales, but in Barks lore she wanted to make an amulet that would attract good luck and make her super rich, and for that she needed coins that had been earned by millionaires around the world to melt into the amulet; she'd already gathered several, and went to ask Scrooge for a dime, as in "I'll give you a dollar if you give me a dime you've touched." Scrooge agreed but mistakenly gave her the Number One dime and asked for it back in exchange for a different dime, Magica complied and when Scrooge explained it was the first dime he'd ever earned she said "Wait if it's the first one it's much luckier than just a normal dime you've touched so the amulet will be more powerful GIVE ME THAT COIN", and they've been fighting over the coin ever since.

The version I knew is that she specifically needed that coin, not just any random one. Dammit girl you really dumb, accept any random dime and be sated by the amulet of $medium_nation_GDP obtained easily, why chase the amulet of $big_nation_GDP instead?

I dunno, I kind of really like this version of her origin story better (based on what limited information I have): Mikl posted:It might not be the same for the current Ducktales, but in Barks lore she wanted to make an amulet that would attract good luck and make her super rich, and for that she needed coins that had been earned by millionaires around the world to melt into the amulet; she'd already gathered several, and went to ask Scrooge for a dime, as in "I'll give you a dollar if you give me a dime you've touched."

Because it makes her seem so much more arrogant and self-defeating. From the sound of things in her first appearance she had basically already accomplished her primary goal (that being get lots of money), and what's more she accomplished it fair and square. She wasn't robbing banks or trying to scam old ladies, she was traveling around the world buying coins from rich guys to make a magic bracelet that would bring her luck and wealth. Through hard work and cunning she had come up with a plan that would bring her success, and it worked! No one was going to stop her from accomplishing her goal because, well, why would they? She wasn't doing anything wrong. Then, at the very last second, she learns that there's a way for her to get slightly MORE wealth and luck (even though she already had a foolproof way to get a ton of wealth/luck) if she stole something from Scrooge instead of just taking what had been freely given to her. So she tries to take Scrooges dime and failed, and she's been failing ever since. She snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and becomes a villain out of greed, not need.

The details vary, but the gist is that the Number One Dime's nature as being the first earnings of the world's richest person make it an unimaginably potent focus for magic relating to luck and wealth, aka sympathetic magic. This is expanded on a bit by how magic works in this show, with Webby outright saying that objects of personal importance make for powerful magical focuses.

I remember one comic were Magica used Time Travel to steal the coin right before Scrooge got it. But as a result she realized he had none of it's power, and quickly realized the coin Scrooge got next would be his Number One Coin. As the coin was not special on it's own, it was special because it was Scrooge's as a result she ended up giving back to him. I believe in the original story Magicia did not even need dimes just any kind of coinage from various rich people. But has changed to focus on Scrooge's Coin as what she needs. And to be exact the her current stated goal in the comic (which was also the one in the original.) Is that by getting the Dime she can melt it down in the fires of Mount Vesuvius (her home in Italy) to create an amulet that is capable of granting the Midas Touch.

Watching the start of the Legend of the Three Caballeros cartoon that appeared out of nowhere and despite I think having the same VA, Donald Duck is jarringly different from his portrayal in new DuckTales just from the very beginning. He's happy... it's kind of scary. (of course, that's not gonna last) edit: theeere we go. Still, it kinda highlights how Donald is different in this show, burdened by his responsibility for the triplets and by his past. Looks like the Money Bin in the background of Duckburg, the classic version. Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Jun 28, 2018 |

He's happy and relaxed for a minute after the prologue, but even that's shattered pretty fast when the phone rings repeatedly as he's trying to eat his birthday breakfast and he becomes irate even on the second ring when he thinks it's Daisy interrupting him a second time. I also saw a scene where he first meets the other two, and he pretty much immediately jumps to suspicion and anger at their arrival. That said, I'll probably watch a couple of episodes properly later when I get home. The prologue was very "Avatar", with mention of an ancient war as elements flash around the screen too. I thought I'd clicked the wrong thing for a few seconds, because it was so unexpectedly grand in scale.

And it doesn't help that the show came completely out of nowhere. I think the Philippines upload must have been some kinda scheduling mistake, especially since it apparently leaked the complete series? There's an almost Kingdom Hearts touch to it, though generational adventures are certainly part of the duck franchise DNA. I mean more that he seems more opportunistic and looking out for himself compared to how DuckTales has touches about how he's burdened by parenthood and responsibility and more reluctant than ever to get caught up in adventures, and see his interactions with Storkules for how he's become outright disillusioned by them. I think lending itself to the theory that Legend of the Three Caballeros was made and completed before the new DuckTales started production/airing. Interestingly, while they showed the human-looking character in the previews a lot, she seems to be the only one, all the other extras we've seen are dogfaces. Pfft, April, May and June have colour-coordinated phones. Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Jun 29, 2018 |

Here was a could-have-been from Frank Angones via tumblr: Daisy was considered to be introduced by being hired by Glomgold as his #2 in his attempted oneupsmanship over Scrooge. They didn't do it because they felt that shortchanged the character.

Having never heard of him before, (though the name sounded loosely familiar) it seems like a pretty good idea to foil the triplets, Louie especially, with a rich kid who does have access to a bottomless fortune and how it's twisted him into a little monster with no inhibitions. And he seems more broad-shouldered having inherited his mother and grandmother's build rather than specifically fat. And to be fair, Webby is almost as crazy. Though I can identify with her freaking out about the brothers making a big deal out of what's ultimately 2/3 of them just wanting their own space for a while. Seems to be a trend in this show in particular to have characters as personal foils to others, though it's always been a storytelling thing. Louie in particular now has about three characters particularly compared to him; Mark Beaks doesn't actually appear with him but is clearly what happens when someone builds their own fortune around con artistry and playing to people's expectations with the minimum of actual effort; Gladstone Gander as someone who has the luck to cruise through life with minimum effort and as a result has every other skill atrophied to uselessness; and Doofus Drake is what happens when a child is outright given a massive amount of wealth and power that no one can say no to him. And on the other end of things, a bit scary that the Beagle Boys can actually be threatening when they're taking orders from someone who both knows what they're doing and takes their wellbeing into account. To the point that Huey's scared of what happens when he has people who genuinely will do what he says out of respect and admiration, without a moral compass or hesitation. Basically, Huey is getting a taste of power, while Louie is on the other end. Dewey is just hilarious. Also, seems like the first time so far we have a robot that actually works as designed until sabotaged. Going by the numbers, it's possibly made by the same manufacturer as Scrooge's security system.

It’s probably just an in joke. DT17 and DT87 have shown up a few times on things over the course of the show so far. They of course stand for DuckTales 2017 and DuckTales 1987, the premiere dates of both shows. Lunchpad’s drivers license number is DT87, for example.
