Fun fact: Darkwing's " I am the ..." speeches weren't written in the script for the show. Instead there was a small note saying: "It doesn't matter what I write here, Jim's going to make something funnier up."
Does that include Darkwarrior Duck's "I am the"?
So, they were improvised?
@@UTubeSponge5601 ok that is AWESOME
Including "I am the winged scourge that pecks at your nightmares"?
Okay. Now knowing that makes Jim Cummings even more iconic.
“Disney does not own my childhood.”
Give them a few years, they’ll buy it Linkara.
They did own Power Rangers at some point. Does that count?

Yeah, but he didn’t grow up on those kinda shows.
(He grew up on the “zordon era”.)
@@daelen.cclark Too bad. Many of the Disney PR shows have pretty catchy theme songs.
@@jrcarter9175 overdrive sucks and well being an anniversary does not help it' all but Wildforce are awful so far
@@jrcarter9175 I think spd is the best Disney era series. Would you believe a group of preschool kids got me hooked on SPD because they kept calling me the Shadow Ranger
"Do you think he has like...a book full of these phrases that he writes down, and then has to cross off whenever he uses them?"
It's Darkwing. I wouldn't put it past him, to be completely honest. xD;
It would be completely in character for him to do that.
I wouldn't be surprized.
Half of me thinks he spends his spare time coming up with these phrases. The other half is just writing down responses when he ask Pinky, "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Jade Ottsel you are looking at the guy that keeps a Boy Scout manual under his pillow.
He did. Once he ran through 3 volumes, he took a hiatus, then started looking up new phrases. He now takes suggestions on Twitter
He's the terror that flaps in the night.
He's the 90s cartoon in desperate need of a revival (Besides his guest appearance in the new Ducktales).
He's Darkwing Duck!
@Thomas Meehan The DuckTales revival is awesome though.
I want a proper revival of Gargoyles first!
He's the 90s cartoon in desperate need of a full DVD or on demand release.
SuperDevolution he’s the Underrated jem in need of a reboot!
The character they had to invent because they keep forcing a speech impediment on Donald Duck and thus couldn't use the Duck of Steel
Scrooge McDuck: "The next Pokemon protagonist is going to be Scottish!!"
That explains WAAAAY too much.
If I were there I would ask "But Scrooge. Do you WANT to remind people of your rival Flintheart Glomgold?"
@@GatorRay But Flintheart is the ANTAGONIST....protaginist would be Scrooge who is also Scottish so he is just talking about himself.
New AT4W t-shirt design "Disney does not own my childhood"
*I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!!!*
Except it does. They bought Fox.
With "Just wait five minutes..." on the back. :P
I'd have "Butch Hartman does not own my childhood"
I'd rather upload my favorite 'Disney Afternoon' show to TH-cam than settle for another manufactured 'tween pop idol'.
"The next Pokémon protagonist will be Scottish!"

@@benjaminstorace6699 Thank you for linking to the best video I have ever seen.
THAT WAS AMAZING @@benjaminstorace6699
Too bad she doesn’t say ‘I’M SCOTTISH!’ Hehe RPM.
I really want the dub to get David Tennant to voice the new professor; even if they are female.
Jim Cummings would be very proud of you Lewis voicing DW.
Truely he is *A MAN!!!!!!!!!*
More duck then hero, but more hero then Crazy Steve.
Goslyn is also superior to Dick Grayson Age:12.
Thats not a hard thing the do
EVERYONE is more hero than Crazy Steve.
Furious Sherman the AIR is a better hero than crazy steve
Holly Tanaka is more of a hero than Crazy Steve and she’s one of the WORST Spartans
I can't believe we have Scrooge McDuck to thank for the Galar Region.
I was waiting for Negaduck to mention that he's from the Negaverse. An excellent opportunity to make a Sailor Moon joke.
he is the man who reads bad comics, he is the man who defeated a god from a videogame he is the man who says "I am a man!" HE IS LINKARA!
HE'S A MAN PUNCH WEARS A PHANCY HAT
Months on Tony Bennet and only one week on Sinatra? That's like months on Liefield and a week on Jack Kirby.
Attend no school that does not have the Harvey Finevoice seal of approval!
To be fair... the Liefield trash fire is a massive disaster that has a lot to go through.
Jack Kirby is more, "yeah... he was great. Did great things."
It is kind of like doing a CSI training class.
"Still better than their old Slogan: We Own your ass, Deal with it!"
God I love that line!🤣
He is the GODAMN BATMAN who is nothing but death and crime to all!
He is the Adamantium Rage of BEE'S, My God!!
He is A MAN for comic publishers to fear!!
HE....IS.......LINKARA THE COMIC BOOK CRUSADER!!!!!
Nostalgia Kid OK that was a bit cool.
Don't forget poor literacy.
@@Trevin_Taylor I thought that was frank miller
I am the terror that flaps in the night!
I am the edge lord who's willing to snap your neck!
I AM THE GOD DAMN DARKWING DUCK!
...... it's...... it's so perfect.
23:51 Okay, that page right there? That's the purest essence of Darkwing to me. Throughout all the slapstick, despite all the ego, when it comes right down to the wire he's a true hero.
So...does that mean Linkara could be considered a Disney princess?
Yeah, I was pretty surprised he didn't appear in Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Darth Vader is one now, why not?
wait what about liea she was a princes and there owned buy disney
I'd love to hear Linkara sing a Disney-style "I Want" song.
@14:41-14:51
Linkara: Harvey?
Harvey(Off Screen): that school is for hacks and I never trust anybody with a degree from it; they spends MONTHS on tony bennett but ONE week on sinatra.
Linkara: Fair Enough.
Great Harvey moment
I cannot recommend Don Rosa's The Life and Times if Scrooge McDuck highly enough. Lots of action and adventure, plus it's funny.
And lots of real life history to learn, too!
As the racoon once said, "Oh. *Yeah."*
3 video glitches in the first 3 minutes... VICE WAS RIGHT!!! THE ENTITY'S STILL ALIVE!!!
I would not be surprised
Or, rather, it seems to be a glitch from youtube processing the video. =)
@@AT4W
OH NO! THE ENITY HAS ESCAPED INTO TH-cam!
@@asdrubalvect6328 That certainly explains the bizarre demonitization patterns of recently.
@@AT4W (I was joking, but ok...)
"I've never read them"
Someone send Linkara a copy of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
Linkara, Lewis, between you, Diamanda Hagan, Sfdebris, Bennet the Sage, and Lindsy Ellis, you have all been the most attentive and wonderfully reliable entertainers in the nerdiverse.
Other funny people came and went, other smart people started and stopped, other caring people stopped caring, but you are one of the greats.
Darkwing Duck is an amazing disney show. One of my personal favorites.
*S A M E*
Mine too, as you can tell by my profile pic.
Mine's too.
shadowlinkbds i still got to finish it. I remember i glimpsed it as a kid and in the past year or so, but stopped for some reason. Probably should get back to it
Am I the only one who thought the whole shadowy evil corporation would be more of a F.O.W.L plot
I thought it was those hat aliens that showed up every now and again, you were way closer than I was.
Game Freak: Hey that Scottish Protagonist thing is a good idea
That is a really good impression of Darkwing.
24:50 So that's how we got our Scottish Lass!
thy little lass i keep hear about me Lad?
How is it even possible to NOT have the Duck Tales theme permanently imprinted in your brain! Heh
I'm pretty sure if you open my skull, somewhere in my brain, you will find the lyrics physically carved in there.
My problem is that I never understood half the lyrics. Before the internet, I always though it was "Every day, they're hopping-making" and "Not phony tales or captain tales".
When I was a kid, the only thing we were allowed to watch was PBS, so I never saw Duck Tales
@@TheSeptet Your parents must have been the educational equivalent to religious zealots.
@@dreamlandnightmare Mormons
@@TheSeptet That explains it.
I recommend reading the English translated Duck Avenger comics that was released by IDW, which was a 90s Italian Disney comic book that has Donald Duck as a superhero that comic series is awesome unfortunately IDW didn't translate the entire run luckily some fan translated the entire run before IDW acquired the rights.
The Borg being Founders seems to indicate they are expanding their Dominion...
$600-$1,000 for the omnibus?!?
Damn, I got it a few years back on the cheap. I lucked out big time.
chwen hoou maybe you can resell it.
i knew who jacked it up?
SCROOGE MCDUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you would like, get a scanner and scan your copy of the omnibus. I've been dying to read it but I'm not made of money.
"So where did the organic bits for Bulba's new body come from?"
Food residue left in the blender, obviously.
Argh, gross!!! lol
Bulbas bull, was definitely a pants to be darkened type a villain.
I mean the entire tv series both started and ended with him both times before and then after he became a cyborg he was one of those legitimate threats like Negaduck.
19:11 Huh, Megavolt mildly swore by saying "crappy". Yep this was definately 2010, when Adventure Time started airing and almost every CN show had said mild cursing.
Yeah, that was one of the things they changed in the omnibus. It was rewritten into "crummy"
@@MLP-Trinary No one remembers the episode of Courage with the old man going damn.
I never knew I needed Linkara talking about Disney characters but I’m glad I got it.
When there’s trouble you can call DW!
Let’s get dangerous!
now linkara needs to review the Duck Avengers comics, maybe the first 4 or 5 issues
or deadpool the duck
“In reality its drugs.” Great joke.
This is an underrated show.
1:13 A.) How did the DuckTales theme not in your head
B.) Nostalgia critic is probably jealous.
"Screw you, rehabilitation! Just shove 'em in cells!"
Interesting, that. The second Scrooge takes over, and he more or less reverts to his Dickensian roots.
"Mr. McDuck! We've captured this dangerous criminal. What should be done with him?"
"Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"
Steerminator...that...that is a FANTASTIC name. Also he was voiced by Tim Curry which automatically makes him best villain
24:51 The memes made with her are exquisite
Negaduck and Magica joining forces?...My god
18:03 I like that little line after Launchpad mentions Darkwing getting second; "That was... a disappointment."
Not denying it, not incredulity for thinking something so silly was the reason he retired -- no, it really *was* a soft spot for him, just not the one that made him hang up the hat.
Hearing what you had to say about the omnibus's prices makes me glad I got my copy back when it was brand new.
Yay! I've been waiting for a while to review this one! Darkwing Duck is dope! Boy, I can't wait to- (hears the part where Linkara says he's not a Disney fan) ...And now I'm sad. (hears the part where he admits to being a fan of Darkwing and having already read these books) And now I'm emotionally confused! Either way, LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
I was and still am a big Disney fan (never watched this show, though), so it made me kind of sad too to hear that.
If someone make a Darkwing Linkara t-shirt I sure damn will buy that shirt!
*SAME!!!!!!!!!*
Me too.
YES
Let's get dangerous, ...unless we can't afford it.
When there's trouble you call DW!
And when there's a bad comic you call Linkara!
Could not agree more with your Mighty Max comment!
yep
The comic predicated the future of copyright
"Disney does not own my childhood"
Somewhere, the South Park version of Mickey Mouse is cussing up a storm
The comic from 2010 is The Duck Knight Returns. The in the second season of the the 2017 Ducktales series there’s an episode called the Duck Knight Returns. In it Jim Cummings plays a parody character of himself obsessed with his role as Darkwing Duck as it got passed to a new Drake Mallard
So Quackwerks was basically like OCP from original Robocop movies. Owning city and making every product possible.
Although their enforcement droids seem competent.
I am very happy to say I already own the trade collecting these four issues. So worth the money.
Have you seen the new "Ducktales," Linkara? Darkwing is shown in a cameo on a tv screen being watched by Huey.
And he's a talking bobblehead on Launchpad's dashboard.
@@justinpullen1097 Neat!
he did say it
I freaking love Darkwing Duck. I’m so happy you reviewed these comics. This is already my favorite episode of AT4W
You are the best Linkara!!!!!!
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
igual
Greetings from America! ^u^/
9:00 - 9:20 was a golden missed opportunity to use the "Oh my god, so many stairs!" clip from Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged.
18:58-19:07
True enough, but it's likely that Gadget also knows how well Launchpad flies and that she's gonna have to fix it every time they wanna fly anywhere.
Disney was a big part of MY childhood. The original Cinderella was the very first Disney movie I remember watching, The Little Mermaid was the first movie I remember seeing in theaters at the time, The original Lion King was the first movie I've seen more than once in theaters, and I had the chance to go to Disney World with the rest of the high school marching band during my freshman year (it is a 4 year tradition). *Tobe Fair* , I didn't really stick that well with the Disney Afternoon, except for DuckTales, Goof Troop, Gargoyles, Timon & Pumbaa, and of course Darkwing Duck; and that's mostly because Fox Kids and Kids WB had shows that appealed more to me.
6:57- And somewhere in the city, Chandler Quack is trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre.
10:19- In other words, Quackwerks is like Trump's vision of the Trump Organization of the future. ...We are so screwed.
14:16- Or, speaking of Star Trek, since Darkwing Duck is looking for "The Founder," the creator could also be the Dominion.
The scene in the robot factory reminds me of a certain similar scene in Attack of the Clones.
24:54- YOU MONSTER!
27:46- Or the elevator got broke thanks to Sheldon and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.
He’s gonna end up in a dangerous comic book,
Well we can handle it,
LET’S GET DANGEROUS!
My childhood? Beast Wars and Digimon every weekday after school. That's what stuck with me, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
After long say of work, it's good to see this after a tiring Monday.
I do wish Erod had been in on this but still very good episode
I was kind of shocked we didn't even get a camei
I don’t see why he would be here
ilopominecrafter he’s a a huge DW fan
16:43 I do so love it when kids shows find a way to sneak in adult jokes
Your Darkwing voice is spot on!!! Loved this video
Probably the best bit from this comic's run has to be the tie-in to Tiny Toons - Steelbeak was revealed to be Fowlmouth all grown up in the third set (according to the wiki page), as he woke up from being frozen saying:
"Ma? That you? I will watch my language... Buster told me to."
He is the terror that flaps in the night.
He is the gum on your shoe that is impossible to get rid of no matter how hard you try.
He is… DARKWING DUCK!
You made my day dude. Seriously
Glad this was uploaded on my birthday
I am the commenter that leaves obnoxious spam, I am a copyright bot from a particularly litigious company, I AM DARKWING DUCK!
Fun fact: Donald Duck *also* has a superhero career in comics as Paperinik/The Duck Avenger. In fact, there's conjecture that the reason that Darkwing was created was that Tony Anselmo was just starting his run as Donald they were trying to ease him into the role (which is why Donald was rarely on in the 87 Ducktales)
As a fan who grew up with this series and as someone who followed closely to the new comic series when it came out along with being part of a forum who actually got a few clarifications by someone who worked hard to revive this series in comic form, Aaron Sparrow (to be precise) He was removed from the credits of the opening 4 part story arc. Ian Brill cannot write for Darkwing Duck and misses the point of what made the show great. While he wanted to send epic mega adventure one after the other, he ignored one of the biggest things that made Darkwing Unique: _"Super powers do not a hero make" - Darkwing Duck._
He threw Darkwing up against things like Cthulhu, multiple dimensions where several different Darkwings wreaked havoc, (actually that would have been good, but then on part 4 they went too damn far by throwing in Paddy Whack and had him say to Negaduck "There is much fear in you." - which is bull, because Negaduck doesn't fear that clown, nor anything Darkwing has thrown at him. We NEVER see Negaduck grovel. If someone says, "Look! it's a Fuzzy Wuzzy bunny!" He would pull out a shotgun and start firing blindly to kill it. (That is NOT an exaggeration see episode "Just Us Justice Ducks" part 1)
Brill would try to cram so much into something that should be fun and simple. Bulba coming back was awesome, but that's about it. The Ducktales cross over was a mess too. Even at the end. Negaduck merges with EVERY VILLAIN! and then what does defeat him? Not an epic battle. Darkwing just tells him. "You don't let yourself have any friends!"
WTF was that?! Negaduck doesn't care about that. He doesn't need it. He rules with brute force, cunning schemes and fear. Also the comic relied too much on magic. Having Morgana in it was great, but it was always magic that would solve the problems, not Darkwing's insane dumb luck or clever wit. It was a mess. The only thing good about it aside from the first arc was seeing the brief return of Darkwarrior Duck, (which was awesome and needed to be longer imo) and the introduction of Quiverwing Duck, who was like Darkwarrior, but went down a more sane, reasonable route, and he reminded me of Hawkeye a bit.
The other thing that was great about the comic was the art. James Silvani is an amazing artist and captures them all perfectly. Sabrine also did great work in the special edition which featured Quackerjack and a Time traveling turtle. James' easter eggs were always fun to point out, and it made up for some of the crappy writing.
BOOM! Studios could not handle the Darkwing Duck comic properly. And the episode "Comic Book Capers" is a great comparison to what happened with this comic series as a whole.
Long comment, I know, but It gives a decent insight into what happened, where it missed, where is worked and that we deserved better, which a reboot series did happen, and it was a lot better. Aaron Sparrow and James Silvani work together brilliantly. THEY can handle a proper DWD reboot.
Holy crap! The Disney Afternoon was a shared universe!
Indeed. :1
WOW! Thank god I bought the omnibus off amazon when it first came out!
Anyway, great review as always Lewis!
THANK YOU! I was eagerly waiting for this episode all week after last week's hint. I never got further than the third storyline in the Boom run due to financial issues and my library system not having the subsequent omnibuses.
25:13 Actually, that makes perfect sense. Scrooge knows Launch Pad as a brave piolet who was present during what just took place. Man, why am I such a sucker for Darkwing and Ducktales meeting?
I loved watching Darkwing Duck everyday it came on such a great series. Glad to see someone made a awesome comic series based on it.
oh my god Linkara made me remember the Mighty Max cartoon. And also how it 'ended'
Smokeweed D Bear oh I liked the show.
@@srstriker6420 Me too!
Mitch Fletcher oh, thanks
How’d it end?
+Michael Rhett Max gets sent back in time to when he first received the Cosmic Cap. He retains all his memories and vows to use his future knowledge to ensure a better outcome, saying "this time around I'm really gonna kick some Skullmaster butt!"
I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the loan that puts you out of business! I am darkwing duck!
I gotta say that's actually a really solid Darkwing voice you've got there
Good job on the review
Am I the only one who remembers the Flamingos from "Fantasia 2000?"
Nope. Who could forget a flamingo with a yo-yo set to Carnival of the Animals?
I friggin luv u. Darkwing duck is my fav show of all time.
Eat it BoJack! Darkwing Duck beat you to the punch with the evil monopoly corporation talk!
DARKWING DUCK 2...1...Risiko! sorry nostalgia took over
great episode as always~
17:32
Wait, isn’t Nega Duck the Darkwing Duck from another universe? Shouldn’t he know who Darkwing Duck is already by virtue of... Well, being Darkwing’s counterpart?
simple nega duck dosn't have civilian form and cant wrap his head round that darkwing a version of him self would choose be a boring old civilian most def being they both of there egos are the same size
I seem to remember in the cartoon Negaduck actually had two different origin stories. Because I swear there was an episode that said he was Darkwing's evil clone created from some sort of lab accident, then another had the whole "from another universe" thing.
I also swear I once saw an episode where Negaduck put on the Drake Mallard civilian outfit.
"Let's Get Dangerous"
Darkwing Duck and the whole Disney Afternoon were way before my time. I was born in ‘97, so I grew up in the 2000s. I caught reruns of some shows on Jetix (before it was rebranded Disney XD), but Darkwing Duck just wasn’t one of them. Even so, this storyline was incredibly enjoyable to learn about through your review, Lewis, and while I can’t say I’ll go out looking for these issues or start watching the original cartoon anytime soon, my interest is definitely peaked and I’m sure I’ll be looking more into this franchise on my own in the future.
Oddly enough the Ducktales reboot used that title again when they introduced Darkwing in that series.
I love Darkwing Duck and this comic but this was so hilarious 😅
Lets get dangerous!! holy feathers flyin! Batman!! ;3 oooh next on LInkara, CA Raisin's IN 3D!! hmmm heard it through the grapevine..
Hot damn! This comic sounds awesome!
28:07 It's my headcanon that those subways are defended by the PR equivalent of ToQGer... if it ever comes to fruition, of course.
It's kind of cool to see another "yeah, Disney's alright I guess" kid. I was more of a Fox Kids/Nickelodeon kid, too.
This is officially my favorite AT4W review.
*LET'S GET DANGEROUS*
Finally, a Patreon episode about something I'm actually interested in. If people are going to bizarrely keep insisting Linkara read non-sucky comics, at least those comics can be about Darkwing Duck.
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS OMGGG
IVE BEEN WANTING THIS REVIEW FOR A G E S
