So I stopped watching during the midseason break, but just burned through all of last season and the first two for this season. This show is so Venture Bros. It's amazing. When I was a kid, Don Karnage was one of my favorite characters in anything. I was even him for Halloween one year. I was nuts about all that Indiana Jones, Tales of the Gold Monkey stuff, so Talespin was like tailor-made for me. My parents even used to take me to Banana Republic all the time because I loved it so much. I understand the change, and while I love the old Karnage, getting Rogelio de la Vega to voice him is pretty much perfect.

They both wear blue, and they both love adventure, but ultimately Donald decided that providing a stable life for his family was more important than constantly chasing after excitement (even though that's what he's best at). He's a more mature Dewey who has learned to put others needs before his. Gladstone = Louie Fethry = Huey Donald = Dewey

He also wore blue in this show's past. Wasn't there a photo of him in his blues with Della in some episode?

Yeah, Huey burned his traditional blue sailor suit in the pilot and Glomgold gave him a black one.

I thought Donald was always in blue, like even back in the Disney shorts from the 30s. I thought the black was a limitation/cheaper alternative for printing comics at the time

Yeah, there's apparently a Rescue Rangers movie or something probably in development hell, so that's off the table. And funnily enough they might be able to use the (cartoon) Mighty Ducks, except that the team leader is still used by the real-world team as a mascot, so there might be licensing issues there. And the suits apparently vetoed every script that involved Mickey, so the team seems to be assuming he's off the table. But anything goes for the rest. I figured with Magica that a Doctor Who reunion was too good to pass up. Catherine Tate was pretty good as a companion who wasn't the stereotypical young woman and who'd call the Doctor on his poo poo.

Anything that helps me get past the inescapable awfulness of Tate's TV show. Not a fan of Dr Who but that didn't force itself into my awareness like "Am I bothered" to force me to wonder why someone was copying Little Britain after everyone was sick of Little Britain.

When Cousin Fethry was saying "wait, how do I become a scientist?" I was thinking "step 1. go to college and get a degree" so when Glomgold gave his presentation involving building robot fish "after we go to community college and get our engineering degrees" it was great

Huh, I vaguely knew about the South African origin, but I am impressed how well this show manages to retcon and reconnect everything, so that all origins are somewhat true without contradicting each other. Other examples include Scrooges extended life due to demon magic, which explains how he would be old enough to have been in the gold rush. Seriously though, screw Scrooge. No matter how you cut it, he was shortchanging a poor boy who was in the same situation as himself, while also stroking his own ego. That's basically like "tipping" a waiter by saying "Try to get a real job!" Boasting that you're the richest man in the world doesn't make that situation better either. Duke's action was justified.

Scrooge is the cause of, and solution, to all of his own problems. If he had just paid Duke his regular fee, he wouldn't have a foe. He thought he really was being a good guy, like he saw himself in Duke and wanted him to follow in his footsteps, but what worked for Scrooge wouldn't necessarily work for others. The fact that Flinty is the world's second richest duck despite his cockamamie tendencies (Scrooge had a point about him just selling the diamonds) is a credit to his dogged determination. Also, this subtle bit from Webby was one of my favorite character animation bits. It's a perfect "Huh, well, you do have a point." kefkafloyd fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Nov 4, 2018 |

Scrooge was trying to do for Duke what his dad did for him. The point of the dime was to teach Scrooge both the value of hard work and the fact that sometimes people will just con you by giving you American currency in Scotland. It was a poorly planned fatherly gesture that assumed Duke was just as foolish and dimwitted as Scrooge was as a boy, but wound up both teaching him the worthlessness of being friendly AND how you can get further, faster playing dirty than you can square. The nega-version of Scrooge's bootstraps story.

I think it's neat they ended up going with the South African background. It's tremendously touchy given the history of colonialism and exploitation and I'm interested to see how they work with it in the future. Not doing it at all would've been the safe route, so there must be a lot of consideration put into tackling it. Or they could never address it again!

Yeah I doubt they'll ever do as deep a dive into Glomgold's origins as they did in this episode, unless it's after he left South Africa. It'd be tough and probably offensive to focus too much on South Africa in that era without addressing Apartheid, and I can't imagine this Disney Channel show would want to do an Apartheid episode.

I know they wouldn't go deep into it, but I'd be interested into see how they'd work with/around it. I'm already a little surprised they brought up the diamond trade. Just stuff like that.

The point of the dime was to teach Scrooge both the value of hard work and the fact that sometimes people will just con you by giving you American currency in Scotland. Kinda ties in with a theme that Scrooge isn't a very good role model or family man, what with him having spent an entire season and change (haw haw) learning to get along with his own nephews (and honorary niece) and reconciling with Donald. And he's not particularly good at interacting with the public a lot of the time either. He can be a savvy negotiator, skilled businessman, and a surprisingly good boss who understands the value of good help and how to keep extreme personalities under control, but frequently clumsy and selfish when it comes to his personal life, hence why he's spent so much of his life alone. When we saw Duke's black beard I thought his usual false beard had been dyed black by squid ink, but it was actually real, huh. His age is all just part of his fake persona along with his nationality, but he's kinda at the point where Glomgold considers it to be for all intents and purposes his true identity.

Oh wow, Scrooge tried to give young Glomgold his number one dime. That's actually a super nice gesture. Of course, nice gestures are meaningless and sometimes even insulting if the other person doesn't actually understand what's nice about them; and that's how Scrooge's inability to understand the emotions of others or properly communicate his own feelings ended up creating a lifelong mortal enemy.
