Despite the news having been on their usual 24/7 Trump kick, this was all back in April and May of 2019. Other than the judge (apparently) dismissing the claims, we don't have anything else to go by.

Great episode, I like new Gos and Owlson rules and I'm glad she runs her own city now. Although I felt like there was a scene missing between Bulba unleashing the fearsome four and Launchpad having his talk with Goslyn. Thought this was all happening in a single night.

I looked into that too and that's one of the things his ex wife claimed he did but he never admitted to it. He and his wife have restraining orders against each other until 3-9-2022 and must stay 100 yards away from one another (this doesn't include child visitation time). Jim has primary custody of the kids and his wife didn't like that so she said he raped her and abused the dog to try to discredit him and get the kids back. The judge bitched both of them out for not putting the kids first. Granted, no one knows except for those two what exactly happened but considering what Disney did to James Gunn just 2 months later for 10 year old tweets, I think they would dig as deep as a corporation can to figure out if it's true. So far, they've never distanced themselves from him though. I really like him too so I hope it's not true, but to me at least, it sounds like some crazy bitter divorce plus restraining orders on both sides with both sides being selfish and not thinking of their kids before they go all at war with each other.

The judge bitched both of them out for not putting the kids first. Considering the judge told them that they were both guilty of abuse and ordered mutual domestic violence restraining orders I'm struggling to get anywhere close to him being innocent. As for the dog abuse, I got that directly from him. When the wife first went public with her claims he made a post somewhere claiming innocence, and as part of that explained how "all he did was". I can't remember the specifics but I remember being pretty drat horrified that anyone would do this, much less think so little of doing it that they would think people would be OK with it. I'm guessing his lawyers agreed with me and had him remove it because I can't find the post anymore. Fake edit; found a story that at least mentions his admission: https://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00135969.html

Supervillains that are engaged in a shadowy cabal that appears to be poised to take over the world are Supervillains who usually aren't engaged in independent cockamamie schemes to take over the world. F.O.W.L. is a holding pen.

Also, his statement regarding Magica and the Moonvasion actually were kind of on point. I think he and Owlson actually have things in common. It's just that she's the "good" version of "can we not do stupidly dangerous things?" while he's the "evil" version.

He'd have more of a point if the vulture capitalists actually did anything about those situations instead of sitting on their butts moaning about the situation and plotting world domination. Fair's fair, the Magica crisis they couldn't realistically do anything about since it happened and resolved too fast, but the Moonvasion? Scout Lunaris out, pass the info to Scrooge, eat some popcorn while watching the fireworks. Also they hired Magica. Kinda undermines Bradford's rant.

Well she did work at Funzo's, which FOWL has a facility under. That said, she was depowered at the time, and probably would not have taken the job if she knew the Phantom Blot was in the Funzo suit. She may not even have known FOWL was involved.

Senerio posted:Looks like they're very proud of this one. Yes. Good.  Really, this is a high point in a show full of them, and if it works out to be a back door pilot it's a great starting point. I rather like that Bradford insists he's not a super villain, and in a sense, he's not - his aims are partially selfish, but he's also literally trying to protect the world from the protagonists' zany antics, and he's not too far removed from Scrooge trying to profit from them directly. Although he did throw some children into a dimensional rift, which doesn't really support his point edit: Launchpad suggesting he'd sleep on the drive between Duckburg and St. Canard

Omobono posted:He'd have more of a point if the vulture capitalists actually did anything about those situations instead of sitting on their butts moaning about the situation and plotting world domination. Of course, they're totally wrong about the moon, since Lunaris was clearly preparing to invade Earth for decades to the point of developing his own space program, and he just identified Scrooge as the largest potential threat. He DID use Scrooge's rocket technology, but that was still only a matter of time. Does seem like there's a few comparisons to be made with Owlson and Bradford; I imagine Bradford had a moment like Owlson getting fed up with Louie years ago. Might make it interesting if they meet. Though Owlson seems to have struck a bit of a balance, by endorsing exactly one costumed weirdo in St Canard which she should be able to keep an eye on. While FOWL on the other hand, as much as they complain about the ridiculous methods of the supervillains in their employ, are clearly unable to keep them under control, as shown in pretty much every supervillain episode this season so far... except, notably, for Rockerduck, who rather stands out as a villain who knows when to cut his losses, or even just when to walk away because he's got what he wanted. (Might be a difference there, come to think of it; Owlson rolls with crazy things while Bradford does a spectacularly bad job at keeping up his cover around the triplets, when the situation obviously called for a reluctant team-up. He's smart, but not actually a good leader or good at dealing with people he doesn't have some leverage over) Actually might also be some contrast there; Taurus Bulba seems to handle the literal cartoon supervillains well enough, while FOWL is suffering the usual problem of supervillain team-ups: trying to retain cohesion between everyone's competing egos and ambitions. Bradford probably being the Lex Luthor in this equation, which actually is a rather fitting comparison for a few reasons. I think the rub is Taurus Bulba is quite happy to let supervillains rampage to cause disruption and mayhem while he finishes whatever plans he had, while FOWL is trying to do things in a particular professional way that really isn't compatible with a lot of the formerly independent villains on their payroll. Oh, and Bonkers D. Bobcat exists within the setting. And the Solego Circuit is a reference to The Legend of the Chaos God. Jeez, they don't stop with the references.

This actually makes sense. I was kinda wondering why Phantom Blot Funzo would hire a depowered Magica instead of killing her and be done with it. While this Blot would probably rest content with depowering any other magic user he'd totally have his vengeance on Magica if the opportunity presented itself. Senerio posted:DuckTales “How Santa Stole Christmas!” 11/30  I also wonder if "The First Adventure" is a flashback episode or a time travel episode, but the Christmas one is the one I'm  about.All the rest I could take or leave (in the contest of a loving amazing show mind) Ghost Leviathan posted:(Might be a difference there, come to think of it; Owlson rolls with crazy things while Bradford does a spectacularly bad job at keeping up his cover around the triplets, when the situation obviously called for a reluctant team-up.

Let's pretend we're buying it and see if we get some decent information" They absolutely knew what they were doing when they made him swallow the button phone. It also rounds out the triplets because this time Louie would have been completely blindsided by the machine due to his greed.

Moonvasion! set up the prospect that we were going to see a Scrooge-Donald-Della-Gladstone-Feathery 90s adventure at some point by implying that they were basically Huey, Dewy, Louie and Webby all grown up, so this would be one way to pay that off.

I’ve honestly been in love with the premise of Bradford’s character from the moment he said “without the world, who would we larceny against?” Everything about him comes back to that one line and it’s incredible. That’s a man happy to throw children into a death portal to save money. I love him as a villain and I can’t wait for him to let loose.
