Ducktales (2017)

[digiman619]

I wanted to see LP's thing.

We ALL wanted to see it! .

Forgive me for using that exchange to introduce this, but recent talk from Frank Angones seems to imply that Launchpad is bi.

15sok asked:
I heard that CN is making a major crossover between OK KO, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go and Ben 10. If Disney followed the same idea, which characters you wish to have a crossover event if you were the head writer

DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Talespin…

Oh wait. Too late.

We came pretty close. DW's been seen in TV, the GB's had the magical secrets so they exist, and Cape Suzette is just a sail away.

So we *could* have them all show up together ...

Not too late.

Now, just have to get those suspenders of disbelief to see this nugget.

hmm...

Isn't "Frank Angones" the artist from Mad?

So Dr. Who is voicing Scrooge, and I didn't notice?

And H,D, and L normally are not in the same room at the same time?

He's called "The Tenth Doctor." "Doctor Who" is what people say when he introduces himself. Or these days its what people say when she introduces herself, but that's another story.

Also what? Hewey Dewey and Louie interact with each-other all the time, they are together nearly every episode, usually in multiple scenes.

[Strigon]

Deeply upset that I forgot about Ducktales' return.
Loved both the episodes so far; more Louie is always fantastic, Scrooge's reaction to Game Night! is quite possibly my favourite scene in the whole series, and the second episode was pretty great too.
The only thing is that I'm aso perplexed by the sudden Dewey/Webby pairing. I mean, Dewey was always the closest to her, but for that episode it felt like she was his twin, not Huey and Louie. The next episode was back to normal, though, so it isn't a big deal.

I just realized how quickly Scrooge must've rebuilt his fortune, though. He spent what looked like most of his money bin trying to get Della back, and didn't do any adventuring for the next ten(?) years or so, so he must've rebuilt his fortune solely through business interactions. Which, in turn, means he was either making a ludicrous rate of return (especially for a company that was already massive), or his fortune was so large that even the money bin is just a drop in the bucket. Either way, it's insanely impressive.

But apparently, they are not in the same recording room at the same time.

In fact, it looks like almost all of them record separately and it's mixed together really well.

Most of the Money Bin is still empty in the present day - that's why it's such a long drop down to the remaining cash. Before he started spending, it was almost up to the roof.

[Emmerlaus]

I must admit I didnt like the Game Knight episode that much compared to others. A lot of good things in it but so many things Im less willing to forgive, how for exemple Louis get pierced by a arrow storm and is still fine.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Apparently his hoodies are made from spider silk now.

[keybounce]

Are these being shown in order? I just saw Glomgold's second season episode, and it really looks like it could have come just after Game Knight.

I will say -- when I saw that amnesia dream, I thought it was Magica working a comeback somehow. But no, just an amnesia dream.

[Rogar Demonblud]

I've headcanoned it that this one and the one last week happen at the same time.

But this one was really rough. I think they could've added another B plot (maybe more about the woman taking over Glomgold's company) without losing much of anything--it felt that stretched out.

Also, the reason this season started with episode 9 is because they retroactively moved the end of last season into season two. That's right folks, the season one finale is now season two episodes seven and eight!

I was thinking that maybe Magica was doing it as part of some scheme, but apparently not.

[keybounce]

Makes sense that they happened at the same time. Re-watching, they are completely dis-jointed in characters. Two of the triplets here, a triplet and Webby there.

[Rogar Demonblud]

And it makes the line at the end of Cousin Fethry about blaming Louie a little more funny. Because he's in the middle of breaking through the amnesia to restore Glomgold.

[Strigon]

Glomgold's ineptitude is always hilarious.
Calling it now, that wager they just made will be the catalyst for the season finale.

More specifically, the second/third last episode will be Glomgold pulling a huge scheme on McDuck and succeeding, ending with him gaining control of McDuck Enterprises. Given that this season is allegedly Louie-centric, I'd love to see Glomgold buy Louie off, only to be backstabbed in the end by that delightfully conniving little duck. Who then, of course, returns McDuck Enterprises to its rightful owner (and then immediately regrets it and tries to take it back, but the paperwork's already signed.)

Also, that dream sequence was genuinely pretty creepy.

That’s the standard. Who records actors together in America?

It’s certainly big enough in scope to be the season finale. That wager will certainly be the basis of a future episode.

By the way, it’s cool they managed to reintroduce Glomgold’s origins as South African. I’m not sure how or if that will come to anything but I hope we haven’t seen the last of “Duke Baloney.”

Oh, this episode could have followed “Shadow War” as Glomgold ended up in the sea after tussling with his shadow during Magica’s Duckberg rampage.

Well, it did. But not immediately. They said he had been missing for a couple of months, at one point.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Yeah. You have the Shadow War two-parter (s2 eps7-8), then the Duck family spends a couple months in hard core adventuring, culminating at the start of Game Night (s2ep9). Eps 10-11 happen (supposedly) later that week.

As someone mentioned on another board, when do these kids find time for school? Or did Scrooge just buy the school board and fire almost everyone? He seems to dominate Duckburg that way.

[Rogar Demonblud]

And for predictions, I'll just note that Zan Owlson was quite comfortable forging their signatures there at the end. That may end up being a plot point later on, especially given the Mouse's attitude (frequently expressed in plot points) that 'nice' people are really the most evil.

[digiman619]

One small thing to note from last week's episode is that Mouston, Mickey's hometown, is confirmed to exist in this continuity as that's where Zan went to college.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Totally missed that.

edit: which has a scary importance, as owls eat mice.

So, Storckules:

Where's the giant marshmallow man? It had everything else from the first ghost busters movie.

[Rogar Demonblud]

That was less interesting than I expected from the title, although I will proclaim this a better fish-out-of-water story than the MCU has managed with Thor.

Ennh, I'm not seeing it. They are running around rounding up stray critters, and they make a TV commercial. That's about all the similarities I could see.

[archon_huskie]

Yeah. You have the Shadow War two-parter (s1 finale), then the Duck family spends a couple months in hard core adventuring, culminating at the start of Game Night (s2ep1). Eps 2-3 happen (supposedly) later that week.

Webby was kept in the mansion by Mrs. Beakly pre-series and presumably home-schooled/trained to be super-spy. The boys are likely in a similar schooling program now too. It is reasonable as the Beagle Boys have shown an interest in kidnapping them before. So it is safer to keep them in the mansion for school rather than a public school.

What I find interesting still is the timeline. Season one takes place over the course of 6 months based on Scrooge's comment at the start of Last Crash of the Sunchaser. The Glomgold episode mentions month since Glomgold's disappearance, (four months sticks in my head but I am not sure). But the next episode is a Christmas episode. First season episode "The impossible summit of Mt Neverrest" takes place around Christmas based on Louie's comment about freezing instead of being at home in the mansion for Christmas. So a year will have passed in the series by the next episode.

it's just an interesting thing I like to keep track of.

You spelled "Exercise in Futility" wrong. There's pretty much zero chance that the producers are even giving the slightest consideration to maintaining a consistent timeline.

[Bohandas]

He's called "The Tenth Doctor." "Doctor Who" is what people say when he introduces himself. Or these days its what people say when she introduces herself, but that's another story.

Dr.Who is what they're called because nobody actually knows what his name is except for the Master and River Song

#9. Tell her the Doctor is here.
Secretary Doctor Who?
#9 exactly

Christmas episode.

There had to be a christmas episode.

... And, "Scrooge" means different things on Christmas :-)
