I think the only piece of media I’ve seen that’s presented the Greek pantheon, and Zeus in particular, as unambiguously good has been Disney’s Hercules, honestly.

One subtle animation joke I didn't get until a rewatch was this:



Zeus is an idiot and put his hand over the earpiece, so Hades definitely heard his cockamamie scheme to get back his powers. It's probably why they only ever had to deal with one titan at the last part of the episode.

Which 90s Hercules TV show? The Disney animated series, or the Kevin Sorbo one?

The Sorbo one. Honestly while it's been a while, as I recall it in both the Hercules and Xena shows, the gods tended to be assholes who were either useless or malicious.

I mean, the intro voice over to Xena straight up says the gods are evil tyrants who Xena is here to oppose on behalf of the common people.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Also like what they're doing with Daisy- she gets mad for good reasons and understandably doesn't want to have to be the one to make Donald get his poo poo together. Enforcing some boundaries with his friends is part of that.

Seems a low key theme that even with the best preparations, not all of Scrooge's adventures are going to succeed, but failure is gonna hit the kids a lot harder when it's such a major part of their lives. Though I think that deserved more time for resolution, this was a pretty busy episode.

Katie Micucci is also a national if not universal treasure, but I get your point. There's been a couple of times I've gotten bruised fingers from trying to reach through the computer screen to hug Webby.

Not sure about Babs, but Tress will be back as Dot in new episodes of The Animaniacs in about 9 days.

Though it will always be weird to me that the same person playing Webby now is also part of the musical duo who created the song "Sex With Ducks."

Uncle Ben: Still Dead.
So, Della has two moon-related claimants to the title of "Best Friend": Penumbra and Selene.

I wonder what Penumbra would think of the Earth-assigned supernatural deity with dominion over the planet Moon?

That said, Della actually calls Penumbra 'Best Friend' onscreen, and while Selene calls Della her best friend in this episode, I don't think Della explicitly acknowledges that.

"Look, if your family had told me you were in space, I could have checked the Moon for them. Cheer up, it was only ten years, that's nothi-- Oh, right, mortal."

I like to think that Disney execs live in fear of the day that Kaiie Micucci and Kimiko Glenn do an impromptu rendition of "Sex With Ducks" in their characters' voices.

Maybe Penny and Selene should meet. Penumbra is gay and Selene is at least unattached...

I'm exactly the right age, and I only have nostalgia for the theme song. I can't say the show itself stands out in my childhood memory as something I loved.

Then again, I didn't care for OG ducktales much either, and this show is great.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
Now they just need to get started on Tailspin and Rescue Rangers. This supposed top secret Rescue Rangers project they had to work around for Gadget's cameo before better not be some live action stupidity.

And yeah, this has just been a crazy nostalgia bomb for me. I loved the entire disney toon block growing up and now that they're updating it and making it even better, I'm just melting. I bought my best friend's kid a Webby plushie and now she clutches it every time she watches Ducktales with him. I die.

I grew up with a bunch of the Donald and Scrooge comics (in french) so the new Ducktales is a perfect nostalgia bomb. Got me to dust off the big books of Donald and Scrooge comics I got from my dad, falling apart at the seams, and re-read them.

I never watched any of them back in the day. I pretty well missed much of the first and second seasons when I'd flick through Disney catch a bit of an episode and think Cartoon ducks. Stooopid. Really the thing that got me into the show was this:

https://www.metatube.com/en/videos/353378/DUCKTALES-Official-D23-Clip/

And then I was "OMG! I must have more of that adorably crazy little duck girl!" and I've been a fan ever since.

While I was vaguely aware of them before, I'm pretty much discovering Gizmoduck, Darkwing and other characters for the first time.

From what I’m hearing it might not be connected to the Darkwing from the current Ducktales series and instead just be its own separate thing (it’s being made by a different creative team for one thing). Kind of weird but if that’s the case maybe it’ll be decent regardless.
