So here was the previous thread, it has since been closed so I made a new one.

So Disney decided to make the 45 minute Darkwing Duck episode of Ducktales ("Let's Get Dangerous") free on YouTube.

Be advised it starts slow but picks up steadily starting about, oh, 20 minutes in. It might be the most Huey-centric episode since AstroBOYD, and he's not the main star.

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
One of the villains is conspicuously silent. Is it because his original voice actor died, maybe?

Well that was interesting. Young Della and Emo Donald may be more fun than the triplets.

Oh, other detail I've learned due to actually reading the credits: Zeus is voiced by Michael Chiklis.

Figures Scrooge's problem with Santa Claws is that he stopped him from gouging people on coal deliveries.

Been watching some other season 3 Ducktales episodes and honestly Let's Get Dangerous is one of the weaker episodes, relying on nostalgia and callbacks to tell the story.

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
Frankly, it's also way to drawn out for what's there. Like they wrote a standard half-hour episode and then had to stretch it to an hour.

So, Youtube just showed me about six videos with titles along the lines of "Duck Tales cancelled"?

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
Makes sense. They really aren't selling people on the series any more, as witnessed by how commenting here has fallen off from where it was back in season one. Also, they don't seem to know how to use their pieces. I don't think Mark Beaks (supposed to be their new break out villain) has had more than a cameo this season, ditto the Beagle Boys (the Beagles!) and Flintheart Glomgold.

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
The problem with these 3 groups is they are all "local Duckburg" villains*. Thus you need to tell stories with them that are local and not adventure stories in a new place where the new place is part of what makes the story interesting. That said local Duckburg stories allow you opportunities to grow either individual characters per an episode and look at their motivations, backstory, drive as an animating force; Local Duckburg stories also allow you opportunities to grow reciprocal relationships such as two characters lets say Dewey and Webbie to grow closer, or Huey and Louie to explore how they are each other's side of the same chaos with one being more orderly and the other more spontaneous and chaotic.
*Glomgold is the exception of the 3 antagonists for his wealthy and pettiness means he has the opportunity and motive to follow clan McDuck in adventures, you need not set Glomgold in a Duckburg episode for he can travel the world or go in mysterious realms like playing golf for he is Scrooge's foil. Mark Beats has the money and power but never the motive to explore these new places, he is just merely move fast and break things with technology and media that seems all too real now-a-days.
------
One thing that needs to be explored now a days is how streaming allows you to "pause" cartoons and then relaunch them 2 or 3 years later in a way that is much harder to do with live action casts. You can literally write 52 episodes, film them, and then pause everything creating a huge backlog of content only to relaunch the show a few years later after giving the writters time to massage the stories in a way that feels comfortable.
Why isn't this done more? The only thing that makes sense to me is that this is less profitable to do so with how Union Contracts such as Writers Guild of America work with how you get paid for 10 episodes vs 13 episodes vs 26 episodes vs 52 episodes and so on. Does someone else have some information or just want to voice an opinion?Stupendous Man drawn by Linklele

Content you're sitting on is content that is not making you money while it still costs you money to produce and maintain.

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
Unfinished content takes time to make and money to make. Sometimes it is cheaper to pay writers money and have them with good products and ready while actors and animators are doing other projects and only redirect the animation studio and voice actors to your show when you have the scripts finalized and you can "film it" all at once.
Of course how you release those 10, 13, 26, 52 episodes is up to you and you should try to make the most money to maximize revenue via keeping the buzz going and extending the subscription time with streaming or advertising time with broadcast and cable. You are not selling just content you are also selling buzz where people are hyped for your content and thus they either maintain their streaming subscriptions or they tune in if its cable or broadcast.

Sorry my brain is thinking about these things due to the Warner Brothers / Movie Films / HBO Max news about movies. Animation has some lucky advantages where it is easier to get things all together and break apart teams compared to live action filming.Stupendous Man drawn by Linklele

No new episodes on the monthly preview. Still.
Do have a couple new episodes of Big Hero 6, though. Not sure that I care, since the latest season feels like they're trying to make a more kid friendly TTG.

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
Well that was underwhelming. I should have guessed from the title that Mark Beaks would be the villain, which generally makes for a bad episode. The thirty seconds or so of Bradford at the end provided all the villain cred the episode happened.
Next week, The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker.

Dewey may have finally started to mature a little. They really are ending this if they're getting rid of one of the pre-dominant plot points.

Re: Ducktales (2017) part 2 "Let's Get Dangerous"
A joke so subtle I missed it. And a funnier joke than most of the humor in the episode.
