Just saw it myself, pretty good start and the new cast is fairly solid (the triplets being voiced by adult men wasn't quite as jarring as I'd expected, though Launchpad might take some getting used to, he sounds more like a surfer dude in this one) and I like what they're doing with the kids (Webby even SOUNDS a bit like Mabel Pines, though I could swear I've heard her actress in something before). One thing though, I know the voice is iconic and all but maybe they could stand to tone it down a bit if they're gonna make Donald a regular in this series, I could barely understand about half of his dialogue in this episode.

So how well does the original show still hold up? I was thinking of giving it a rewatch one of these days.

X_Toad posted:I'm now very curious to see the way in which Webby's grappling hook is introduced in the show. Maybe it's another skill taught to her by her grandma? And speaking of, I'm now imagining adult Webby with her grandmother's physique... the girl has some catching up to do! She's basically Mabel Pines in duck form, which is still a step up from how she was in the original series (they even gave her a less grating voice). Honestly, so far the only character I still prefer the original to is Launchpad as, well, he sounds like a surfer in this version. Fortunately the dialogue he's given makes up for it though.

Xelkelvos posted:I made this comment elsewhere, but Webby is a bit like a fusion of the Pines Twins. All of DIpper's interests and obsessions but with Mabel's level of unreserved enthusiasm. And I'm perfectly fine with that. There seems to be a bit of Gravity Falls influence in the show besides her as well (speaking of which, isn't Alex Hirsch involved with this show somehow?)

X_Toad posted:Webby's voice sounds also a lot like Mabel's by way of Velma Dinkley (from Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, obviously) for me. That makes sense considering Webby's current actress also did the voice of Velma (don't remember which cartoon though).

X-O posted:If I remember correctly the previous Scooby Doo was a big hit critically because it kind of skewered and had fun with the way the show had always been done so I'm not surprised the followup would be unfairly looked upon. That almost always seems to happen when people like a certain incarnation of something. I liked that version quite a bit but I never saw or honestly even heard of Be Cool Scooby Doo until this very post. It was the one that looked like it was drawn by Seth MacFarlane. Despite being a bit goofy it didn't seem that bad from what little I saw of it. Back on topic, my only real gripe with the premiere is that they kind of cram the majority of the main cast into the first episode while the original seemed to space things out a bit better (I believe characters like Launchpad and Mrs. Beakly/Webby weren't introduced until like the second or third episode of the first show). It still handles it well enough (in fact, I think I kind of like the reboot better overall. Not that the original isn't still a decent show).

X-O posted:Well to be fair the "first episode" of the original was part one of a five part story so that's why it was spaced out. And it's one of the best things the series ever did. (Also one of the big Sun Medallions from that episode was in Scrooge's garage in this episode). You can do a five part pilot when you have 65 episodes to fill. Not so much when you have 20-25. Yeah that makes sense, it's just some things felt a bit rushed like Launchpad just being there with no explanation. Still wasn't enough to distract from the overall enjoyment of the episode though. Hell, the mere fact we got a 44 minute premiere is a small wonder in this day and age. Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Aug 18, 2017 |

Though in the comics I don't think either one of them was supposed to be Scottish, why did they decide to make Scrooge that way in the cartoon? Just because of his last name?

Ah nevermind then. I forget, was it him or Carl Barks that hated the show and why? Speaking of Life & Times though, I'd really like to see them do an animated adaption of that one day.

Guy Mann posted:Scottish people being cheap was a legit racist stereotype back in the day so I imagine Disney is trying to downplay that aspect of the character. I think the "humans" were actually supposed to be dogs, or they were in the old cartoon at least (Ducks and Dogs seem to be the only intelligent species that exist in this universe, unless I'm not remembering something).

Yeah, while the original still has it's charm the new Ducktales just seems to be better in most aspects and I like that there seems to be some kind of running story line this time around. The new Webby is especially great, even if she is basically the Pines twins combined together in duck form. I wasn't sure at first about the triplets being voiced by adult men but it works well enough and I like that they have their own unique personalities this time around (which is one of the few things Quack Pack actually got right).

That was pretty good, new Webby continues to be great and bringing in Magica's niece from the comics (albeit with a different name and appearance) was an interesting idea. Counting the original show, was this the first Ducktales episode in which Scrooge makes no appearance?

It seems kind of obvious in hindsight that Lena was most likely just playing Webby from the start so she could get access to the mansion. It's possible she could end up switching sides later on though.

Yeah, in the cartoons I think at worst he can be a bit selfish and at times lets his greed/pride get the better of him but he generally always snaps out of it by the end of the episode.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I reckon they're going to do a mix of 'method actor becomes the mask' and 'old hero comes out of retirement' with Darkwing Duck, noting that he does all his own stunts (and thus already has most of the skillset, but isn't totally Batman) and the conspicuous absence of Gosalyn. Gosalyn would have to be recast now that Christine Cavanaugh is sadly no longer with us but it would be nice to see her again too. A story about Darkwing being a washed up TV star trying to regain his former glory would actually make for a good episode to be honest.

Ruflux posted:IIRC, the Simpsons VAs have to sign a bunch of non-compete clauses to make the kind of money they do, so the real reason is probably just contractual stuff preventing him from appearing in other cartoons or sitcoms or whatever. Is that a recent thing? Because I'm pretty sure Dan at least appeared in other stuff before while still working on the Simpsons (not sure if he's done anything else recently though).

This show continues to be better than the original in nearly every aspect, I don't think there's been a bad episode yet. They even vastly improved a lot of characters I kind of found annoying in the 1987 version (Webby, Beakly, the triplets, etc.).

BizarroAzrael posted:Was Beakly even a real character? Did she do anything beside explain the presence of Webby/The Girl One. HD+L having their own things, to the point that you can have episodes with only one of them was an essential change. There have even been episodes without Scrooge! Yes she was I believe, and there were even episodes somewhat dedicated to her. But her role was more or less just housemaid, guardian to Webby, and occasional damsel in distress as far as I can remember. There were some episodes without Scrooge in the original as well but not many. But either way, nearly every character from that series has been improved on significantly in the reboot (Scrooge and Launchpad seem more or less the same though). Hell, I actually like Webby now (which is something I never thought I'd say). Larryb fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jul 15, 2018 |
