DuckTales

A shorter hiatus? Nice!!

The Christmas episode was pretty nice. It felt good to hear Russi Taylor as young Donald, and it's a surprisingly good call that that Dickens' ghosts are friends with Scrooge.

So, has anyone been catching up with the latest episodes?

Darkwing Duck FINALLY made his proper debut today.

That Darkwing Duck episode was just pure awesomeness & makes me wanna see a Darkwing Duck reboot like Ducktales, especially since they did open the door for that.

I'm behind on all of my shows. I'm hoping to get to them soon, though.

All caught up so far on my end, Daikun.

That Darkwing Duck episode was just pure awesomeness & makes me wanna see a Darkwing Duck reboot like Ducktales, especially since they did open the door for that.

It was great! At first, I wasn't sure how the episode was going to be when the actor of the show's name was given as Jim Starling, and then he decided to trespass and take over the movie with LP joining him. LP is naive, he was trying to help his idol, but Starling was such a douche in the opening. There really wasn't much justification for him ruining the movie when Scrooge let Dewey run it as an associate director. Then, when they had the young fan established as an actor and LP had to fight him, I thought to myself, "Wait, they still haven't said what this guy's name was, have they"?


That's when I realized what the writers were up to, and my unease turned into excitement. Sure enough, the young guy is Drake Mallard making him the DW we all know and love while Staling is Nega Duck. That was a brilliant payoff, though assuming a reboot (hopefully) happens, how they are going to establish the rest of the rough's gallery?


I'll give some of my thoughts on the other episodes later this week. But this episode is a MUST for any Ducktales/Darkwing Duck fan!

News from Comic-Con: More crossovers in season 2 include Goof Troop, Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers, more Darkwing Duck characters, and Daisy Duck.

[Dreamer2]

TaleSpin too. An older Kit and Molly will appear.

Everything about that makes me excited. I love this show, but I've wanted more appearances from Disney afternoon characters and now we're getting them! I'm especially happy about Goofy and hopefully Max will show up at some point.

[Avaitor]

Gotta say, Rescue Rangers surprises me the most, since I've always believed that to take place in an alternate universe where humans exist. But I'm cool with all of these.

It seems Launchpad's original VA Terence McGovern and Tony Anselmo don't have kind things to say about Ducktales 2017. Terence sounds angry that he wasn't called back to reprise Launchpad or even show up for a small role, and Tony mentions plenty of creative differences with the DT staff that he didn't have with the Three Caballeros guys.

[Daxdiv]

I saw that being mentioned on TVTropes a while back. I remember it pointing out how Tony doesn't like the fact that the cast doesn't record together. I heard they tried it, but the VAs for Huey & Dewey distracted each other that nothing got done.

Season 3 starts April 4.

[Daikun]

Not only is it a fantastic love letter to the original show, without spoilers it advances Ducktales Season 3 arc as well.
