I mean, Season 2 just ended, but I seem the recall the turn around time between Season 1 and Season 2 was like under 3 months. So probably before the end of the year, I'm guessing.

Part of that I thknk was because S2 was greenlit really quick in the middle of S1. idk if S3 was greenlit yet.

Except if FOWL had bothered to intervene at all during the Lunarian invasion instead of sitting on their own asses doing nothing the situation would have been resolved way earlier.

Lunaris lost to a Glomgold scheme for heaven's sake, five minutes of FOWL gathering intel for Scrooge before the assault on the mansion would have revealed Lunaris plan and allowed for counterplans. They wouldn't even need to reveal their identities to Scrooge or burn assets for that, just have a master of disguise (like for example the Phantom Blot) deliver the info.

I'm not quite sure how much they could have helped. The invasion blindsided everyone on Earth and I don't know how they could gather any intel on Lunaris since he kept himself hidden until the last moment.

nerdman42 posted:

I mostly thought Lunaris was obsessed with Scrooge for the sake of Scrooge being our hero, but maybe there's something to Lunaris seeing someone who has everything on Earth that he wants while Scrooge is off searching for more adventure.

You could say his obsession orbits around Scrooge.

nine-gear crow posted:

Which is hilarious, because Lunaris had a file on Glomgold in his secret base. He knew EXACTLY who and what Flintheart Glomgold really was, and Glomgold still walloped him with how stupid he was.

Knowing who Flintheart is doesn't really prepare you for how stupid his schemes can get though. :v:

Season 3 was at least greenlit before Season 2 aired.

That said, apparently they're basically releasing them when the batches are done according to Angones so we don't know for sure when it will be out. If I had to guess, January the earliest.

It's Disney scheduling. Some of their shows take year long midseason breaks without any kind of explanation.
They will probably air the first 1.5464 episodes at some point. Then 5 months later that sentence gets finished.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Though also keep in mind, Lunaris originally planned to take out the triplets first to destroy Scrooge's morale, which Della was unknowingly one step ahead on, and it was Gladstone and Fethry's intervention that got the rest of the family back into the fray. Fethry's easy to underestimate as a harmless kook and no one's been paying much attention him seemingly just being the skeleton crew on a decaying seabase, and Gladstone likewise as a feckless layabout who never puts any effort into anything. Plus, you can't really plan for a guy whose whole thing is being absurdly lucky.

Funny thing is it seems Fethry and Gladstone get along, and it kinda makes sense; Fethry isn't the type to be bothered at all by someone else's luck, and Gladstone is generally pretty easygoing and willing to go with the flow.

Yeah. I'd think Scrooge would notice if the vultures were actually stealing from him under his nose, so I'm curious what angle they've had working for Scrooge all this time, if any. If they're spies, what has FOWL been doing with the information?

Counterpoint: If they’re his accounts then them stealing from him may go under the radar since they’re supposed to be the ones to catch that sort of thing. Also Scrooge doesn’t seem to care about the particulars of where the money goes (which is why his accounts are on his rear end all the time).

They might go into more detail later. The vultures are clearly playing a dangerous game being right under Scrooge's beak, but then again they're also among the few people Scrooge admits to trusting. And they've been working for Scrooge for a very long time, as Last Christmas indicates- they've been playing the long game. Of course, there's plenty of opportunities for grift and espionage even if they don't risk embezzlement; the best way to get away with stealing from the rich is, oddly enough, not to get greedy.

Wouldn't be surprised if they let Scrooge fund escapades like deep sea and space exploration only to cut the funding when Scrooge isn't interested anymore to leave opportunities open.

Exactly. Given Scrooge's general disinterest dealing with his board, as long as a division is turning a profit it probably won't garner much attention.

You're kidding, right? Scrooge can tell when less than a dollar is missing from his money bin. I think he'd pay attention to his accounting department, too.

The money bin, even in the comics (usually), is only his liquid assets and adventuring loot, not the total of his titanic business income. He pays special attention to it.

I'm currently binging through this on Amazon Prime. David Tennant is a hoot as Scrooge, the triplets all have unique personalities and goals and Webby is adorable. The fact that she'd probably hate being thought of as adorable/cute/etc makes her even more adorable/cute/etc.

Also, old cranky person with access to weird stuff going on adventures with younger companions. Scrooge McDuck is... The Duckter.

Season 3 thread title "Beware of F.O.W.L. Weather"

I'm burning through the episodes pretty quickly (just started Season 2 episode 15) so I'll shortly be joining the rest of you in withdrawal soon. I like all the characters, but Webbigail is probably my favorite. That mix of skilled badass and social awkwardness is perfect.

Well given their track record, I think Huey is going to be the focus next season and Louie is going to be shuffled to the background with Dewey. And that's something I'm kind of looking forward too, honestly, especially as Huey's slowly gone crazier over the course of season 2.

What kind of personality would someone in love with Donald even have? My only exposure to Daisy is basically a picture book I had as a kid, and Donald wasn't a barely restrained ball of rage in it.

Maybe she'll be like a stoned yoga teacher?

Daisy actually has a lot of personality, especially compared to Minnie. Although a lot of that can be basically gender flipped Donald.

From what I remember of Daisy, she can get just as angry as Donald, except she doesn't go all -angry Donald noises-.

Her character in the Disney Parks is mostly 'i'm on top, i'm a star, somebody bring me some haaaaam'.

What? No absolutely not. Their dynamic is basically that Daisy is just as angry and crazy as Donald is (possibly even more so), but more coy and sassy about it.

Here's a few of the newer cartoons that show off what they're like together:

You know what, I'm going to predict it's something really dumb. As in, Della wanted a doll with a green shirt, Santa brought a pink one and then refused to correct the mistake. Thus Scrooge banning him from the mansion.
