ConanThe3rd posted:So part of me wonders if The Moon is going to play a big part in the whole Della Duck myth arc via the Spear of Selene. It's certainly a place that's got a lot of cache with people who know Ducktales prior to this but I wonder if that's a little too inside baseball. So long as they have an excuse to play *that theme* I'm all for it.

X-O posted:It has a timeless Disney quality throughout most of its run. But like any cartoon of the era it had to produce so many episodes that there's definitely some lower effort ones thrown in. It has several multipart episodes that are really good though so it balances out the lower quality ones. It also introduced a caveduck late in the show who didn't add much and for some reason didn't appear in the same episodes as Gizmoduck.

The kids' personalities all basically start with their sibling status. Huey is older sibling so he's competent and likes to take charge. Dewey is the middle sibling so he struggles to get recognition and stand out from the pack. Louie is the younger sibling so he's spoiled and used to getting his way. Webby is the only child so she's eager to have friends and get out from under her doting parent figure.

ConanThe3rd posted:Can't wait to figure out the context there. There really isn't one. As nice as it was to see the Beagle Boys reintroduced, I have to say I preferred "The Great Dime Chase" and the way the kids had to deal with two forms of insanity. I imagine all the "international markets" are references to old DuckTales episodes, but I only recognized El Dorado. And considering the original show it makes sense that in this version Scrooge keeps his lucky dime on him at all times.

Yvonmukluk posted:I wonder if Donald's more laid back attitude to safety (with all those generators for one thing) in Daytrip of Doom is because the triplets aren't around/living in the boat and for the first time in a long time he doesn't have to be worrying about them all of the time? I think the way Donald regularly solves his problems is why he insists his nephews put on heavy safety gear. Both because he tends to think they would solve problems with the same "get angry and make everything worse" approach and because he's aware of how much collateral damage he causes.

MonsterEnvy posted:I kind of hope to see John D Rockerduck. As I feel he can be portrayed different enough from Glomgold to have a place. Apparently they've come up with an original character who's a tech company millionaire to be the alternate rich foil to McDuck. He's in the opening among the villains, so presumably he and Scrooge aren't going to be buddies.

Phylodox posted:I thought it was obvious: Webby teaching Lena the value of family ironically convinced her to side with her evil aunt, which is going to bite them in the tail feathers later. I'm not sure about that. It sounded like Lena was a double agent from the beginning, and that fits with how she acted. Assuming she's been watching the main kids for a while, she waited for the first moment when one of them was alone and outside and threw a set of bottles that drew Webby right over. And instead of going to a normal rave or club, she brought Webby to the junkyard and messed with the Beagle Boys; if Lena had been watching for a while she'd know Ma Beagle has a grudge against Webby. This gave her the opportunity to do some high-stakes bonding as Webby shows off her best skills and then drive a wedge between her and the triplets. She might have even gotten captured on purpose to give the night a good climax.

Glomgold hired Donald because he suspected McDuck wouldn't be able to resist finding Atlantis once he heard the news. If he encountered McDuck, he'd have his rival's nephew to use as a hostage. If McDuck didn't show up, all he's done is pay a low wage to a person who's been in enough ancient ruins to not be a burden on the team. Like Scrooge says, it's just good planning. And he's good at improvising, too, like when he spotted Scrooge and the triplets and decided to follow them rather than risk everything on trying to find a shortcut.

DoubleCakes posted:So I'm all caught up with DuckTales and I'm liking it but I don't think it's truly excellent (yet). The show focuses on the kids too much, not enough on Scrooge, and I don't like how Webby seems to be a pet character of the writers, she's turning into the Wesley of the group-- being too unflawed and always doing the right thing. Even her flaw of severe social awkwardness doesn't actually affect her too much. Always doing the right thing? You mean like how she screwed up on the bus and with each of the triplets in turn at Funso's Fun Zone, or like how she went with a strange older girl to a known gang hangout the moment she was unsupervised?

Aces High posted:it's kinda interesting, Launchpad effectively described hypothermia when he was describing the "snow fever" and that is not something you take lightly when mountain-climbing. Sure he probably paid waaaaaaay more than he should have for his equipment but from the looks of it the outfitter gave him everything he needs so he won't die That's what made the outfitter such a cunning con man. He basically condensed the symptoms of hypothermia to make it sound more dangerous and make the mark's hypochondria act up, threw in snow blindness so he could sell some goggles, and renamed it "ice fever" to make it mysterious since most people are at least familiar with the idea of hypothermia. The best lies contain the most truth, and it's interesting that someone on the writing staff understands that. Dewey's response was clever, too. He backed the merchant into a corner by playing along with the snow blindness ruse: either the outfitter keeps up the charade and has to at least give Dewey and Launchpad a refund to keep them quiet, or he does what he did and calls Dewey's bluff, which is actually the bluff he's using on the customers in front of him.

feedmyleg posted:This show is great. Fun, funny, breezy, good characters, well written. It's one of the better pure adventure shows I've seen. Your interpretation isn't really supported by the text of the show. The Beagles are career criminals raised to be such by Ma Beagle. Magica's niece may be from the wrong side of the tracks, but the only person who has a problem with that is Webby's working-class grandmother. The triplets lived in a house boat until very recently and had long ago established their routines at Funso's Fun Zone, so them acting entitled has nothing to do with their wealth or class. The inventor is erratic and creates destructive robots more often than not, but Scrooge gives him a regular salary on the off chance that he creates something valuable and/or so he won't use his destructive robots to get revenge. I'll grant you that Scrooge is greedier than he needs to be considering his wealth, but at the same time his skinflint ways mean he employs people like Launchpad who probably wouldn't have a job otherwise. Plus he's self-made; I don't think we've seen a single "old money" character on the show.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Eh, Star has still gotten it pretty bad-there was nearly a year between the end of the first season and the start of the second season, and last year was exclusively made up of lengthy hiatuses stretched between frantic episode dumps. It's airing regularly now, at least, but there's probably going to be a lengthy hiatus between Seasons 3 and 4. On the bright side, Star vs. has been consistently able to put out a full season in a 12-month period. The hiatuses only feel long because the bomb format compresses the airing schedule.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I mentioned before it seems like Mark Beaks is the equivalent to Rockerduck for this show; more willing to splash money around and try out fancy new things, albeit mostly stolen stuff not properly tested. Interesting that Scrooge, who hated him at first, is entirely willing to work with him if Beaks is selling a product he wants, though obviously wants to make sure it works first. (especially after this fiasco when it turned out to be a stolen McDuck Industries product in the first place) Scrooge is willing to play golf with a man who constantly and openly tries to kill him. Being willing to buy from a personal rival if his products are good seems pretty tame by comparison.

MonsterEnvy posted:I could not understand a word Donald said at the start of this episode. Was it supposed to be gibberish. It was supposed to be harder to understand than usual, I figure on that much. Anyway, nice to see some definite progression on the Magica plotline. That shadow isn't her true form if her niece has to get the dime and then bring it to her, and her niece's motivation being "freedom" creates a situation where she really can't choose between that and her friends. This implies that something creative will have to happen.
