Random rear end in a top hat posted:Is there any way to see this show online that doesn't require a subscription now? Both Comcast's streaming site and Disney XD's are saying I need a specific subscription to watch it, is it on anywhere else? Yeah every company realising HEY WE CAN HAVE OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL STREAMING PLATFORM means all the shows you want to watch are $15 each on 10 different platforms. Adult Swim had the right idea if you're stuck in a moral conundrum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4kqp9mutPQ Pirate whatever you want, pay the artists you want to pay, and don't make a big deal out of it. Protip look into newsgroups, or if you need someone to point you in the right direction PM me.

You can also just outright buy it off Google Play or whatever and watch that without needing a subscription as such.

They’re up on iTunes for about $3 (CAD) per episode or $60 (CAD) per season (the first season is broken up into two volumes at $30 (CAD) each). Oh, and those prices are in Canadian funds. Just so you know.

Scrooge definitely has a world-class coupon collection. Especially when he was living off delivery pizza.

It's hilarious to me that the final game is a Scrooge-flavored Monopoly knockoff, because in some Latin American countries there is a Scrooge-flavored Monopoly knockoff. Until the late 90's this was the only way to play Monopoly in Colombia unless you managed to bring a copy from abroad! None of the playing pieces are top hats, though.

I remember my grandma having a Scrooge McDuck themed Snakes and Ladders game. I should probably ask about that before she dies. I did kill a black snake with a shovel while she held it down with a rake and all. My family is a bit... rural.

Alright ep. Nothing super memorable, but it sent a pretty positive message. (Even if the kids were horrible to him for a bit) Launchpad continues to be Best Character

Fethry originated in the Italian comics, and he got popular enough that Disney made Don Rosa include him in the family tree. Seeing him in animated form is actually kind of surreal to me given that animated characters from the Duck universe has only been characters created by Barks and by Disney animators themselves.

I want to see Launchpad becoming Aquaman. That would've been way more interesting than Fethry.

So why did Scrooge plop him down at an unoccupied underwater research station with clearly no intent to ever see him ever again? Real dick move.

I'm just going to assume that the rest of the crew were literally Sealab and Fethry is actually the most competent one left.

All that's left is for Dewey to start interviewing real human people for Dewey Dew-night, do an episode that's just scribbles on lined paper by a clearly high "animator", and introduce a vaguely brain-damaged character voiced by John C Reilly and they'll have covered pretty much all of Adult Swim.

Does the show get a Toonami intro and bumper package out of this hypothetical situation?

Huh, a cartoon character voiced by Tom Kenny who lives under the sea inside of something yellow....why does that sound so familiar? Anyway, I really liked cousin Fethry! I'm now kind of hoping for a cousins adventure story where Fethry, Galdstone, and Donald all have to team up for some reason and Donald is rapidly driven to anger induced madness by the antic of his family.

Donald for some reason strikes me as someone who has a particular patience for someone like Fethry, though not willingly getting involved with them unless it's really important.

I'm not watching this but as someone who watched the 80s cartoon.. what the gently caress is with new cartoon art, or at least the ones in this style? I just hate it. The massive over simplification. The constantly smuggish smiles. I don't know. It's like such a downgrade from the 80s. Which is ridiculous. ED: Seriously every image in the OP I would describe as 'smug'

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but there's a bunch of reasons that basically boil down to traditional hand drawn cell animation vs modern digital animation techniques + you're a literal crazy person looking through the filter of nostalgia glasses. Traditional Disney cartoons had a bit of 'bounce' in the animation style as well.

I wasn't a fan of the new art either at first but it's grown on me. I think the lines will soften a bit as the characters get drawn more -- you see that happen with a lot of comics and animation, compare early simpsons with late, etc. Overall though the new art is serviceable but not as appealing as the 80's art at least to my personal taste. The new version of the theme song isn't as good either. The writing is massively stepped up though, so, y'know, six of one, half dozen of other, etc.

I thought you were talking about the dinosaurs at first and I just stared at my screen numbly for five seconds. The short answer for the modern style is complex character design can over-complicate the things that really matter in animation, like movement, pose clarity and facial expressions. When you have a TV series, streamlined designs offer less opportunity for gently caress-ups. Complex design is best left to feature where you can dump more time and money into making it look good. Think early Looney Tunes featurettes compared to their 70's TV counterparts.

It's not simplification, it's stylization, especially if you're comparing to the cartoons of the 80s. Back in the 80s, most cartoons tried to fault on the side of realism, which was especially obvious in the toy commercial cartoons, but even in the old Ducktales, the backgrounds were basically simplified photorealism and the characters stuck pretty rigidly on-model, which didn't have much more of a design aesthetic beyond the base Disney style, whereas the new Ducktales is filled with design and aesthetics decisions. There's a wide variety of animal people beyond the weird dog-men of the original, every character has a distinct silhouette and even facial characteristics to differentiate from the rest, and the backgrounds are made with color palettes in mind as well as consciously evoking the nostalgia of old comic books with things like stippling and color misalignment. Part of that is because there's a bigger talent pool putting more thought and effort into modern cartoons, and part is because traditional hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation is more expensive these days than it used to be, so getting talented artists to create coherent design aesthetics that can work better with computer animation technology is cheaper than finding an animation studio out in Japan that can stick to the model.

The only ones left are Abner Duck and Gus Goose. My money's on Abner. Unless they go all out and introduce the triplet's father and have him be the Dewey analog. Could also be Della too. So far she's been presented mostly as a parallel to Dewey, her primary color is blue (Gladstone's was green, and Feathery's was red, hint hint), so it just might be her. We'll find out eventually, I think.

Dewey kinda has a few adult foils; he's noted to be the most like his mother, gets along well with Launchpad, and even has a personal enemy now in Don Karnage. Also might be compared to Darkwing Duck.
