feedmyleg posted:Is his voice unusual? Meaning, in either early or modern comics, does he have the same voice as the animated Donald? VERY early Donald comics (1930s and early 40s) Donald’s mannerisms and dialogue was very similar to the cartoons. When Barks became the main Duck comic guy, Donald’s personality over time became more three dimensional, and his behavior of a hotheaded scamp was mostly dropped by around 1946 or so. You read the dialogue in those comics and it becomes near impossible to hear it in Donald’s canonical voice. So long story short, Donald’s voice is not considered unusual in most comics, and no one acts like he has a speech impediment. There are always exceptions, but it’s pretty safe to view it that way for most artists, Barks and Rosa in particular.

Apparently there was supposed to be a Huey-centric episode between Day Trip of Doom and the Great Dime Chase so that the first three episodes after the pilot would have been a Webby-centered one, a Huey-centered one, then a Dewey/Louie-centered so all four kids got some character development before the main arc of the season kicked off.

Ah, well that's non-crazy enough even the thread's been talking about it. The source is social media accounts (twitter, tumblr, reddit) of some of the people behind the snow. They originally made a Huey spotlight episode that was supposed to air early on, but it got pushed back until December because it has snow in it, so Disney decided to use it as a "Holiday episode." The result, as we've seen, is a kind of Huey-light experience early on in the show. I wasn't able to really pin down his character until Terror of the Terra-Firmians.

Her major, and possibly only, connection is Beakley going by how Scrooge treats the nephews in the first episode. And Beakley explicitly teachers her all about survival and such because she's an ex-spy, which Webby complains about in the first episodes; that her grandma teaches her how to survive, but then never lets her outside to practice or experience those things. So she's gone a little stir crazy running around with no real company beyond her own imagination for years with lots of spy-ish training to occupy her thoughts.

Scrooge doesn't seem surprised by Webby or unfamiliar with her, so they probably know each other, they just haven't really interacted significantly for most of her life, I'd wager. Webby's probably been watching Scrooge for most of her life and possibly learned a lot from him one way or another, she did say she didn't hear an American accent until she was 7. Kind of the point of living in a mansion is that you have enough room for everyone, generally, hence why Scrooge gets annoyed that Donald is using his bathroom. (of course, the ol skinflint probably doesn't have the water turned on in any other bathrooms except maybe the servants' quarters) We've seen Webby's own collection room but not the living arrangements of the kids yet, which probably isn't important but might be interesting.

Scrooge's only house rule for Donald and the Triplets was "My home, my space" and they were free to do whatever they wanted under Beakley's supervision in the rest of the mansion. That's probably how Webby and Beakley lived in the mansion, free to use the rooms as they saw fit as long as they didn't trash anything. I liked today's episode. It felt more like a pure treasure hunt than the Atlantis episode because the characters are already established. Huey trying to cheer Dewey up on the hypothetical number of mummies in the tomb was pretty cute.

Scrooge's method of management seems to be to (usually) hire people who are either competent and trustworthy or talented and entertainingly insane, and generally trust them to do their thing. It shows with Beakley and the board of vultures; Beakley rules the manor with an iron fist while Scrooge lets the vultures bore him to death with things he could be spending less money on because he trusts the both of them to do their jobs well. (albiet forgetting that secretary is not part of Beakley's job description) Gyro Gearloose he seems used to having to clean up the messes of and remind him to attempt to communicate politely, but this is Scrooge we're talking about, I think sane science would bore him to death. Which is both a sign of an intelligent and canny businessman who's been successful enough to become the richest in the world, and makes sense as the management style of someone who likes the freedom to bugger off to some forgotten corner of the world with a bunch of kids and an incompetent pilot at a moment's notice and trust that he'll still be the world's richest duck when he returns.

If we're guessing, I'd say Launchpad was probably the only guy crazy enough to drive him into our out of some sticky/profitable situation, and earned a job for life as a result. Scrooge is big on loyalty.

Launchpad is one of the few who puts up with Scrooge's grumpy rear end, that's probably the most compelling reason. Scrooge needs him, not the other way around.

You know, it's funny. I don't really recall Glomgold having that big or memorable an impact on the original series, yet he's possibly my favorite part of this show. Every time he or one of his crappy Trump-style brand name products turns up on the show I just smile because this incarnation of him is just such a fun character. You kind of end up rooting for him, even though he's clearly the bad guy. Like, I would honestly be 100% okay if he actually succeeded in killing Mark Beaks in that volcano. Just because it's Glomgold. Also Beaks is a huge rear end, but whatever.

I think an oft-overlooked aspect is that Launchpad is, for the most part, absolutely loving fearless. (Horror movie inspired delusions aside) A guy who drives and pilots like he does probably has to be, but still.

Like yeah, he could probably just shoot them then bribe his way out of a trial, but where's the fun in that? Also just watched today's episode, and I enjoyed it. It felt like the episode was packed with character moments, in a good way. It was nice to see the dynamic between Webby and Louie in a setting where Webby was the expert. And this episode gave us a solid idea why Scrooge hired Launchpad, the guy has Scrooge's back. The way they handled the living mummies was cool. They're friendly, decent folk who are open to outsiders and new things. They're not treated as dumb, just really naive. You can also tell that deep down they want better, but are only held back because they don't know any better way. Also, I love that they heavily implied that the old and sacred rite of mummification is the same thing as making a burrito.  My favorite bit was at the end where Scrooge offered to pay for Launchpad and the expression on his face when he heard how much it cost and how he tried to get his credit card back.

I don't even think it's that he has problems with landings specifically, so much as he just has a problem with his attention span. When he's paying attention he's a good pilot and capable of most things, but his attention wanders easily and it tends to causes crashes, because he can only partially recover in the short time before said crash and change it from lethal to destructive.

It looks like Magica is going to be the 'rarely appearing, deadly serious threat' villain rather than Glomgold. (With Glomgold possibly taking on a bit of Rockerduck with their rivalry being as much pissing contests as violent conflict)
