The funny thing about Manny is that he is actually Goliath. Goliath was the main character from Gargoyles, another Disney afternoon show! Ducktales truly is a Disney afternoon universe

@@StarlasAiko Disney got Keith David, the voice actor of Goliath, to voice Manny. Originally, Manny wasn’t a Gargoyles reference. The creators decided to make him a reference in later seasons. Manny is a huge reference to Goliath. They also could’ve chosen any other cast member from Gargoyles to perform as Manny, but they choose Keith David. It seems that Manny is more of a reincarnation of Goliath than just not being Goliath at all.
The thing is, Magica, Glomgold and the Beagles weren't turned into mindless zombies for most of the episode, because they were ABSENT for most of it. Because this wasn't their finale. Their finale was The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck. This finale was for the FOWL portion of things as well as our heroes.
That's what makes the previous episode so good! I totally understand why they brought them into the finale tho. It's worth the mindless zombies part for when Magica takes out Bradford.
Yeah because the stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree. 😑😡
@@iflykaya I think you're the one that doesn't know what "canon" means. This series is based on the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics so if that's the case, her being related to the Duck/McDuck family is NOT canon.
Webby was oddly set up as family. If she was the main kid featured in the holiday or spy episodes, she was partnered with scrooge. They even have her with abnormal strength in the 1st episode, by taking down a tree with a toy ball. If she hadn't been obsessed with the mcDucks, she would be really into spy stuff, and her being a kid locked away in the Manson would have unintentionally made her a great spy, and thus a great weapon for FOWl. It isn't major, but it is set up.
The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree. 😑😡 And her supposed "strength" is a rip-off (as almost everything else she has) from *Donald* who used to uproot trees (including Sequoias, the heaviest trees in the world and that in real life weigh 2 million - 4 million pounds), headbutt mountain goats and punch out sharks _long_ before Scrooge's creation. The family's strength, fighting prowess and rage came from Donald, not Scrooge.
@@ThePaganSun Actually, it's a reference to how, in the French version of the original Ducktales, both Weeby and April (Who is one of Daisy's three triplets) share the same name. They're practically seen as the same character, so the show writers brought that into the story. (Fun Fact: Donald taking May and June on their vacation is again, a reference to how they're Dasiy's kids in the original series.)
@@skeletalwither I doubt it because the series wasn't created in France and DT87 Webby was actually created to be a combination of all three of Daisy's nieces. So the fact that Webby's name in French is the same as April is probably just a coincidence. Or maybe the French decided to deliberately name her after April. Whatever the case, it still doesn't make April and Webby the same character. They're not at all. April, May and June are Daisy's nieces and are canon to the Carl Barks comics while Webby was Beakley's granddaughter and isn't canon in the source material, just in Ducktales. And I don't think so. It was Donald that took them in DT17 rather than Daisy so I wonder if it's more a reference to Legends of the Three Caballeros series where April, May and June are Daisy's nieces (as they are in canon) but look after Donald's cabin that he inherited along with Panchito and Jose and they fight a cosmic sorcerer together. Plus, if the DT17 writers wanted them to be a reference to how they're Daisy's nieces, they should've actually made them Daisy's nieces ... because that's what they are. None of this copy-cat sci-fi nonsense that elevates Newbie Webby above the actual canon characters and has to disrupt three established families to make it work. Neither she nor Beakley were even fighters! Those are skills and abilities they ripped off from Donald who's performed great feats of strength in anger and determination in both his classic cartoons and the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics.
@@ThePaganSun in the comics scrooge was stronger than Donald. And yes they changed the story too much that is why Rosa also hate it the show. But it was a good show. If people can make mental gymsnatics when changing a character race, they can make a simple jump too accept this.
i literally started crying when it hit the credits, i LOVED the finale and i just ADORED this show, this has been my favourite show since episode 1 released and i just still cant believe its over, even after two weeks.
I cried throughout the entire episode coz I knew it would be the end. I’ve loved this show and think it’s amazing I love how all the characters fit together and how launchpads theory was right with “THE BOXES!!” It ties everything together the 1 thing that is wrong to me is that Lina and goslyn got sidetracked but it is still amazing
Ducktales 2017 the last adventure was not as great as moonvasion. Besides I don’t know why they would do a dark wing duck reboot because I thought Ducktales 2017 was better. Besides dark wing duck from the 1990s wasn’t as good as Ducktales 1987. Why even bother rebooting it?
I feel Steelbeak’s presence in the finale was earned since it was another callback to Double O Duck (they really loved that episode in this finale, huh?) essentially giving him and Launchpad a rematch.
Yes, the bit about finding out their dad was alive is similar to Webby finding out her real Dad, Scrooge, is alive. Moreover, the finale is praise for tying all the character arcs up :))
I don’t want a dark wing duck reboot Ducktales is much better. Besides the family owes Louie a lazy quest to big rock candy mountain. Louie hasn’t traveled in time to find treasures from the past again and I doubt he would so I think he could use another chance to go.
My favorite episode is the Missing Links of Moorshire. It has the dubious distinction of being a perfect episode, just like the finale, until the last few seconds when it ends on a lame joke. Relentlessly homicidal Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy is one of the funniest running gags EVER.
My sister and I completely lost it when we realized who the voice actors were. Only DuckTales would take My Little Pony and turn them into child drowning ponies.
This finale... it is just so perfect I can’t say it enough. I thought that it would be great, but I absolutely did not expect it to be ENDGAME QUALITY. That is an impossible feat that I did not even think any TV show finale could achieve. Well done DuckTales. Well done.
This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
This episode was perfect. There was a major focus on Webby though Huey is in a lot of it. This felt like a satisfying ending to the show and I’m glad it ended the way it did
I do like how they made Huey go on his own path for a while as opposed to him being on the rescue mission with the other kids, showing how he can now face the unknown without the need for a guidebook to lead him, as opposed to in Season 1 where he would’ve preferred being crushed in the light than face unknown monsters in the dark
@@pigglesgoomshby7249 The Junior Woodchucks guidebook was extremely important in the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comic's and in the original Ducktales. That's one of the few good things DT17 kept. It was bad enough they stripped Dewey and Louie of being Woodchucks too.
@@Ncholasbloom Rewatch Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22. Scrooge and Webby totally have the dynamic of an estranged father and daughter trying to reconnect.
The thing I would have changed: Webby alone would not have brought forth the Papyrus. Because being related by blood doesn't make one an heir. Family is more than that. Instead, I would have had all the kids be needed. All four: the sharp, the smart, the tough, and the adventurous.
Especially since she's the one that's not actually related to them in canon. By elevating her over Scrooge's actual canon family, it's disrespectful to them. If the idea of the show was to pay homage to Carl Barks, why did they choose to elevate a newbie that doesn't even exist in the original comics over the actual Duck that inspired the WHOLE world of Duckburg including Scrooge? Donald.
@@ThePaganSun I see your argument, but need I remind you that Scrooge specifically said "DIRECT descendant" when he used the papyrus to stop Black heron from getting it? Realistically, the line could've been changed, but if it was changed to just "family" then it would've gone to Donald and Della who were right there. Also, paying homage to something doesn't necessarily mean using every single detail. I mean, was Della Duck -an actual character- stuck on the moon in the Carl Barks comics as well?
@@bolttwo The point is that Webby isn't even canon let alone a "direct descendant" of Scrooge so by the show trying to force her to be one is disrespectful to Scrooge's actual canon family. And AGAIN (and I'm really tired of repeating this) no one saying the show "had to follow every detail from the comics" but elevating a semi-newbie over a character's canonical family is NOT some little change! Changing Scrooge's coat from red to blue is a little change. But trying to make it seem as if the legacy of Carl Barks and Scrooge begins and ends with Webby when she doesn't even exist in the Carl Barks comics and when that credit actually belongs to DONALD is something else entirely. Imagine if the Darkwing reboot replaced Gosalyn as Darkwing's daughter with some other newbie girl or boy like Lena or Violet or BOYD. Would you and the fans like such a change then??? See the difference? Again...newbies need to fit into the established canon. We don't change canon to fit the newbies. Not Ducktales and definitely not the Carl Barks were never _Webby's_ story. It was supposed to be based on DONALD'S family and DONALD was the first to inspire the Carl Barks comics and thus Ducktales. The show pretty much let Webby pretty much hijack Donald's story, adventures and even family and that's downright _unforgivable._
@@ThePaganSun First of all, they did not make Scrooge's legacy begin and end with Webby. Webby was the reason the papyrus fell into the hands of FOWL, because she was made with the genetic material of Scrooge (Direct Descendant, again). Donald is NOT a direct descendant, nor is he truly Scrooge's heir. Sure, Donald may be the reason for Duckburg and Scrooge's existence in the Carl Barks comics, but that does not mean that he needed to have a huge role in the finale. He was barely in the original Ducktales, and he got a major role in this show as well, but not as important as the triplets, Scrooge, and Webby. Second, Webby's existence is because this is a DUCKTALES Reboot, not an ADAPTATION of the Comics. She's elevated as a character because she had little to no importance in the original series, and the creators wanted to change that. The idea that the sole reason for Webby's plot importance is to screw over Donald is ignoring the several DECADES of attention Donald has gotten through other series (Kingdom hearts, for example). Donald is an important character, yes. But for him to be that important at the end of Ducktales would be a disservice to characters that are FROM Ducktales.
@bolttwo Yeah, DT17 _did_ make Scrooge's legacy begin and end with Webby despite the fact that her being Scrooge's "direct descendant/clone" was entirely _made up_ by the show!! She's not related to Scrooge in the least!! And actually Donald IS Scrooge's heir, both in the comics and even in the show. So Donald should've indeed had a huge role in both the show and the finale because he _is_ the reason for the legacy of Carl Barks and Scrooge himself, NOT newbie Webby! And, he's more far important hijacking newbie. The only reason he didn't show up more in the original Ducktales was because Tony Anselmo was still new to his role as Donald's voice! Webby is _irrelevant._ So NO. DONALD began the legacy. And thus _he_ deserves the credit, not that elevated hijacking newbie. So what if it's a reboot?! It's still based on the original series and thus should follow the canon of the original series! Webby had little importance to the original series because _again_ it was never about _her!!_ Those were not _her_ adventures! It supposed to be about DONALD'S. Webby was lucky to exist at all! Donald is the one who inspired Carl Barks and thus Ducktales itself so if any character deserved to be elevated it should've been him. For it to be some semi newbie of all people is downright disrespectful to him and had it been any other canon character in any other franchise that got shafted thanks to a newbie, the Fandom would've been up in arms. The ultimate problem with _both_ versions of Ducktales is how little a role Donald plays compares to his role in the comics where he IS the main character and since the comics are not as well known in the USA, it's even more a disservice since now the fans think that DT17 is accurate to the comics or that the first time they see many of Donald's extended family in animation are as distorted versions of themselves. Again...all this talk of "reboots" is seems all well and good now, but let's see if you fans here will change your tune when the Darkwing REBOOT comes out and if it makes as drastic a change as DT17 did. Let's see how you'll react if Darkwing gets sidelined in his own show or if he adopts a other daughter like a newbie called Gabby and sidelines Gosalyn and Gabby will actually be Darkwing's clone! Such a tiny change, right? I'm sure you'll take such drastic changes in stride, right? After all, if such changes are all well and good here, then they should be all well and good there too. It doesn't matter how much other media or attention Donald gets. The fact is that _he_ is the inspiration for the source material for Ducktales and the credit belongs to _him_ Not Webby. It was HIS story, adventures, and family. Not hers. To try to force it to be otherwise is absolutely a disservice to DONALD and the world HE inspired. Shame on the writers and the show for not giving credit where it's _actually_ due.
Ducktales did a pretty good job of wrapping up every loose thread. *Almost* every loose thread. Negaduck got lost in the Aether of Loose Plot Threads, unfortunately.
@@TheLithp well in the finale, we saw the red laser thing introduced in the darkwing duck special, so I think it would be able to be canon. Plus, being part of the ducktales reboot and using the same actors would just be the smart thing to do
@@somethingspontaneous4982 in addition to having some characters from DT17 (aside from the obvious Launchpad and Gizmoduck and maybe Gandra). For example, the triplets, Webby, Lena, Violet, May and June, Della, Donald and Daisy make an appearance on some occasions.

This finale has SO many great payoffs. Not only because it incorporates every single missing mystery, but how every important and sometimes minor character gets their big conclussion. Like, the episode starts showing how far Webby has gone since her first spotlight episode. The entire finale is like that.
@@dropletq3477 *She's NOT canon.* She doesn't even exist in the original Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics that both versions of Ducktales are based on. So don't YOU say otherwise.
@@ThePaganSun thats not how this works. when i say canon, i mean canon to the story of ducktales. which the reboot counts as canon. just because its not comic's canon doesnt mean its non canon
Honestly, I’d say the biggest missed opportunity is not having a episode that focuses on the kids all together. Boyd and Lena could bond over their atypical origins, Gosalyn hanging out with the other kids (especially Webby), parental bonding between Drake, Donald, Gyro etc. Heck, maybe an episode focusing on Doofus handling being a normal kid and how Gyro fits into the Drakes. Also, leaving the Negaduck thread hanging. He was initially meant to appear in LGD, but they decided to leave him out so the story could focus on Gosalyn more. That could change with the podcast, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Bradford, in my opinion, is not only one of the best ducktales villains (the best), but one of the best written Disney villains, and I’m not just talking about Disney shows. I mean he is up there with Disney villains like hades, scar, maleficent, etc. He has a brilliant origin, I was never expecting him to be related to the legendary Isabella Finch, the actor who plays him, Marc Evan Jackson (who I’m already a fan of from the good place) is perfect for the role, the way the creators introduced him to us is honestly mind blowing, making the viewers believer both himself, the other vultures and even FOWL were all throwaway characters to the big bars of the entire show, responsible for pulling every string like a puppet master. I can’t think of a problem with him and I haven’t even gotten to the best part, that part is that both himself and most of fowl have the ability to return (remember Disney are making a dark wing series) and with the stone of what was making clones it’s pretty easy to bring him back, we saw a clone already and by using the third eye diamond, we have Bradford buzzard back basically. What do you guys and girls think of this statement ?❤️❤️🪶🪶
Disagree. Bradford is a walking contradiction. He's a villain who claims not to want to be a villain but blatantly does villain-y things. Nothing special about him.
@@ThePaganSun well, that’s kind of the point. The point is by hat Bradford thinks he’s the hero of the story, that he’s doing the right thing, when he doesn’t realize all the terrible things he’s doing to get the “perfect world” he wants. That’s why when he gets the sword of swansintine, he becomes a large very evil looking person, because inside he’s a villain, but he doesn’t realize it. What makes him special is that he doesn’t know he’s the villain, it’s not a problem, it’s awesome writing.
This finale was really ambitious, and had a lot of places it could have fallen flat. They tried to get basically every character in there and have a moment that showed how every character has grown through the series. This is really hard to do in a single episode, and they kinda nailed it. You mentioned Huey's moment, there's also a moment where Louie uses his people skills to help Dewey realize he really has the skills to get them out of a tough situation, and the adults fully acknowledged how valuable the kids were. Even if it wasn't much, every character had at least a moment in this episode where they shined, and somehow they managed to pull that off without this episode feeling unfocused. It was impressive, I didn't like season 3 as much as I did the previous two seasons, but the series definitely ended with a bang.
I kinda didn’t like how much they changed Webby and the girl triplets. First May and June are clones, then Webby is April, then she’s is a clone of Scrooge, then she’s Scrooge’s daughter. It just felt rushed and unnecessary. She said herself “Family is who you choose to be part of it.” Webby was already part of the family, she didn’t need to be related to Scrooge to see that.
It's sad that they ended the show, but if they made another season, it wouldn't be right since they were building up to FOWL since episode one. Plus, this was a great way to end the show. Great plot twists, funny jokes and an overall great finale. The credits made me cry so much... Also, it was kinda funny how normal Glomgold is kind of more an idiot than mindless slave Glomgold.
I loved this episode. Was I the only one who was getting a little teary eyed. It was really nice of Scrooge to pay for Webby to have her birthday at Funzo's even though he didn't know she was his daughter, I also liked seeing Boyd, Lena and Gosalyn take out the cameras. I loved getting to learn about Webby's past, and with her being made from Scrooges DNA so she is his daughter I didn't see coming(so long all ships with Webby and any of the triplets, to be fair their children so it wasn't going to happen anyway and the creators said they weren't going to give Webby a love interest). This episode was perfect. I LOVED seeing Gosalyn back. In the fight with SteelBeak, Gosalyn really felt like Quiverwing Quack(her hero identity from the original Darkwing Duck). Darkwing is clueless(maybe also just not wanting to believe Fenton is GizmoDuck). Bradford is officially the most evil character. Using the lesson from the first episode and the season one finally was perfect. And overall the ending was perfect. A few things I wanted to see were Fenton being the one to rescue Gandra and see more interactions with them and see Gosalyn and Webby interact. But over all this was perfect and the ending credits was really fun. I am sad Ducktales is over and regret starting to watch it when I did(a little after quarantine started) and I won't make that mistake if their is a reboot for Darkwing duck. Disney PLEASE, Darkwing duck reboot next!
I have good news and bad news for you. Good news is that they announced the Darkwing reboot months ago so that is happening. Bad news is that they haven't given us any details. We don't even know if it'll be a spinoff of this show or a completely new iteration. We also don't know how much if any of the talent for this show will work on the Darkwing reboot.
This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
@@ThePaganSun I've heard people say that they don't like the Webby reveal because it sort of goes against one of her major themes of being found family instead of family by blood. While I don't entirely agree with that I do see it as a valid critique. If your argument is that it's bad because it isn't canon and you don't like things that are different then I don't know why you watched the reboot all the way through anyway. Canonically Della's a complete deadbeat, the triplets share a personality, Scrooge is a borderline villain about half the time, and pretty much all of the supporting cast outside of Launchpad, and maybe Glomgold, are completely different people. The reboot was never just a rehash of the comics or original series. What made it great was that it managed to balance references to the original canon with totally new material which let it induce nostalgia without becoming an uncreative and inferior copy of the original show like a lot of reboots do.
@@zoroark2002 You're free to have that opinion. I can't really dispute you unless you give some reasoning for why you think that. But I watched the original ducktales as a kid and while it was a great show, as far as I can tell nostalgia is the only reason to see it as better than the reboot. In my opinion the reboot has better comedy, more fleshed out characters, and more interesting overarching plotlines. Not to say that the original show did poorly in any of those aspects. It was great for it's time. It was one of the first american cartoons I saw that had multi parters fairly often. But modern cartoons tend to be allowed to have more depth than older ones and Ducktales 2017 is no exception.
Just wish that Fenton and Gandra got a few more moments together in this episode, as they only had a few moments together at the very end. Also, I wish they could squeeze in Daisy in the end so that she and Donald could have a moment together as well. -also where's Goofy-
@@zoroark2002 Yeah. It didn't need to be too explicit. But the kids were around 13-14 when the series ended which is old enough to at least date and contrary to the DT17 writers' delusions, Webby ISN'T related to them. So there's nothing wrong with it.
"Just in the past thirty years, we've seen hyper-intelligent rodents, caped crusaders, flying bears, bouncing bears, living statues, and a veritable troupe of goofs, misfits, and adventurers." What a great homage to all the classic Disney cartoons of the 80's and 90's. This series was brilliant. Really sad and ridiculous that Disney didn't decide to renew it for more seasons. Hoping we at least get an animated series in the same vein for Rescue Rangers and Darkwing.
Honestly, the whole show is freaking brilliant and went above and beyond what I expected from a reboot of DuckTales. And I also love Moonvasion. (That entire dogfight sequence with Lunaris was theater worthy stuff) Even though The Last Adventure was a PERFECT and immensely satisfying close to the series.
This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
The season finale is great, I liked it all but I still think Huey should’ve gotten more time for the end of his character development. I also think that it was a little weird that Webby was Scrooge’s daughter still doesn’t fit right with me, don’t get me wrong I love all of it just like come on, give Huey more plot lol.
AGREED. The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree. 😑😡
I kind of feel like Webby being Scrooge's biological daughter kind of takes away from the found family aspect that they established early on in season 1. She was already a part of the family, placing her as a blood daughter didn't feel necessary. I kind of would of liked it if she was the true heir without being related to him. After all, out of all the kids, none of them are more deserving or more likely to carry on Scrooge's legacy than Webby. The Papyrus is supposed to twist the meanings of it's words against common expectations and Webby being his rightful successor without being biologically related would have cemented the ideals of the cast being made of a large extended family. Edit: Everything else about the finale was amazing tho, the end credits were beautiful ❤️
@@baileythewitchofvoid8784 I partially agree. Her being Scrooge's biological daughter also disrespects his canon family, her canon family and April, May and June as characters who are actually Daisy's nieces and have nothing at all to do with Webby. Their previous relationship was better because it proved she didn't have to be biologically related to be cared for by Scrooge and his family and at least that arrangement didn't contradict canon. This reveal, on the other hand, feels extremely forced.
I think the thing is that in the other seasons, the focused triplet had their own episode before the season finale to end a major portion of their arc and to put the next episode in full swing mostly detached from their arc, Dewey finally discovering the secret of the Spear of Selene and then setting up Scrooge as a lonely vulnerable old man again, and Louie finally learning what it truly means to be the richest duck in the world with Penumbra warning Della about the invasion thanks to Louie’s reckless actions, while for season 3 they needed the extra 23 minutes to make a satisfying FINAL adventure with many of the important main/side characters, so they gave Huey his own overarching final arc separate from most characters during the 69 minutes that happened in tandem with all the other characters’ moments, so I personally think he got as much focus as the other triplets in their season, it just happened to occur when everyone else was having some focus on their story
I think the whole clone concept is ingenious for years before this reboot people always assumed that Huey Dewey and Louie were always clones of each other. Now they finally integrated that concept into the show
I just finished watching ducktales and man it makes me really sad to see it come to and end. Ducktales was there to keep me accompany throughout these dark times and it really hits home watching it. I’d honestly sell my soul just so there could be a season4
I wish more shows got the chance to end on their own terms and on a high note like this. Due to how close the ending of Ducktales was to the ending of Big Hero 6 The Series in air date I can’t help but comparing the two and how much better treated this show ending was than than that one.
It’s enough to make a grown man cry. I’m almost a full grown man as I’m only 19 and I like to think my self as having less sensitivity then others but I’m always proven wrong want tears come out of my eyes. This episode made me cry and as I get depressed super easily, my mood was down the whole day and my temper was easy to ignite. I this is why I struggle rewatching shows and movies. If I know it’s sad at the end, I don’t want to rewatch it because of my sensitivity, depressed mood, and temper. (Temper is from my Scottish side I’m guessing lol.)
My only complaint I have with this finale is that with making Webby Scrooge's daughter, it kinda throws off the "found family" piece. With her being blood related, it takes away from him just seeing her as family rather than making it a bold fact. I thought she'd be able to find the paper simply because he THINKS of her as kin, rather than making her kin, yknow? But overall awesome finale, the sisters were fabulous and his is my favorite cartoon on Disney, and maybe overall. Thanks for the video! (I know im a year late, I finished this show recently okay??)
Webby being Scrooges Daughter, April McDuck is a massive shock that no one saw coming. But in a way it explains Webby's obsession with clan McDuck. She unknowingly wanted to find out more about her family. That's what I love about the finale. And it's a fantasic reboot.
I appreciate all the little touches that the finale adds in to make it work. Take, for example, when Bradford promises to tell Webby why she was created if she helps him. Nobody acknowledges it in the moment, but the Harp of Mervana would have called him out on it if he were lying, so Webby knew he was telling the truth! Little details like that are why this show isn't just another cartoon. Honestly, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic may have affected me more, emotionally, and is still my favorite cartoon, but Ducktales (2017) is probably, objectively, the best animated show I've ever seen, and I will recommend it to anyone who seems remotely interested.
To be honest, I didn't really like the reveal that Webby was technically Scroog's daughter. I liked the message of chosen family that was intertwined throughout the series so much, and I feel that her being related by blood took away from that :/
There is one thing i think they missed... Negaduck... The original actor of Darkwing Duck, Jim Starling, who lost his mind after savind Drake and Launchpad lifes. But then, not even when Gossalyn was introduced, not even when the original DW villains were shown up... he never appeared again. And they have chances to introduce him. Like, after Moonvasion when they see DW become part of Scrooge "family", FOWL could have recruit him. and in Let's Get Dangerous, dude, i mean, if the villains stayed in the Ducktales dimension, he could easily come back as the leader just like in the orginal show. So... its just a miss? ...Or maybe being saved for something else?
A storyboard artist revealed a while back that in Let’s Get Dangerous, Bulba originally would’ve been arrested at the end of part 1, and Negaduck (posing as Bulba’s new assistant) would’ve revealed himself right before bringing over the Fearsome Four, but the crew, especially Frank Angones, felt Negaduck would’ve been done a major disservice with what little focus he would actually get I do think that would’ve been a legitimate problem because as opposed to The Duck Knight Returns, where the episode is as much an origin for Negaduck as it is for DW, Negaduck would’ve only gotten a few short moments sprinkled throughout and at the end when compared to to how much time DW, Gosalyn, and Launchpad would get in the 23 minutes, or the moments between Bradford and the triplets, or even the moments the Fearsome Four got when separated from Bulba, since the plots of the episode were more of the DW trio coming together and the triplets discovering Bradford’s true motives, so I do get why instead of trying to shove Negaduck in halfway through, they instead let Bulba have more breathing room to still have his build-up from part 1, and be able to get a few moments as a supervillainous crime boss in part 2 (That being said the storyboards did look very fun and I hope they can reuse the idea of Negaduck using acting skills to gain access to a weapon in the future)
@@pigglesgoomshby7249 ya got a point in there but, imagine if the Fearsome Four stayed in the dimension, becoming real supervillains in the ducktales world. And putting Negaduck as the leader of the Fearsome Five again.
Negaduck--in any incarnation--is too proud to work for FOWL. If anything, I could picture him taking out FOWL troops so he can have another crack at Darkwing...and possibly Launchpad too. I may just make fanart of that one day.
fun fact, this is the only one of the three episode that Jose Carioca appears where he doesn't speak portuguese. When I saw him and panchito at the start of the episode I though they would do something relevant since in the season 2 finale everybody except them showed up, oh well... :/
@@The2ndDimension Yeah, I was at least happy my boy showed up, Brazil doesn't get much representation in animated shows and I really really love Jose, he is still incredibly popular here in Brazil.
@@9-VoltGaming Also, small countries don't get any representation either. Only the big countries. Like, the only Caribbean islands that are on tv are the Bahamas, Barbados and Jamaica..
The only thing I hate about the finale is the fact that webby is Scrooge's daughter, it just doesn't sit right with me. I mean they changed soo much in the canon and this change is kind of the last straw for me. Also Webby is kind of taking the Huey's spotlight in the ending in which is supposed to be a Huey season. The finale feels like a glorified Fanfiction of webby.
One moment that you didn't mention that I love about this finale is the moment where Donald is in danger and Scrooge does not wait to save him like in so many other shows where the savior waits until the last possible second
I love the amount of payoff that was in this episode. Most side character got a moment, almost all villains got their moment and it felt like no one was left out even though I’m sure some were.
The one way I think the finale really fell short was how the thematic meaning of Webby (technically) being Scrooge's daughter was presented. The DuckTales crew wanted to say that blood relations aren't what defines a family, but who you come to love and support as a family does. In short, beyond some shock value, Webby being Scrooge's daughter shouldn't change anything between them. You can sort of tell what their intentions were through Webby's big speech at the end, but then they also emphasize the revelation and play it up a lot and you can clearly tell that Scrooge sees Webby differently now. It undercuts the theme. DuckTales is all about found family and demonstrates this beautifully through Lena leaving Magica and joining a new family or Mrs. Beakley's motherly bond with Webby surviving the revelation that Mrs. Beakley is not actually related to Webby. Even Scrooge's initial relationship with Webby was a great example of this. But they kind of dropped the ball here. It still is only a minor complaint, though.
I don’t think it changed that much, honestly. Scrooge more or less had Donald and Della as his surrogate children in the very beginning and the way he reacted when Della returned was a father embracing his child he’d thought dead. Scrooge has kids he has been a surrogate father to. And Webby just happened to be his by blood and they didn’t even know it. Her adoptive mom didn’t even know, for that is what Bentina Beakley truly is.
@@PeachWookiee NO. The difference is that Donald and Della actually ARE related to Scrooge. Webby actually isn't. She's NOT canon. The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree.
Agreed. This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
The finales was spoiled to me by TH-cam clips :( I usually cry at the end of finales (any finales) but I barely did on this one because all my recommendations were "WEBBY IS SCROOGE'S DAUGHTER???"
The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree. 😑😡
I personally felt like Webby's main character was that she didn't have to be blood related to the McDucks to be considered family and whether or not the finale intended it, it kind of soured that message to me. Almost like it was saying that without a blood relation to Scrooge, she didn't belong in the family at all. I don't think it meant to, quite the contrary I think they wanted to throw Webby a huge bone, giving her what she always would have wanted, but I personally think it could have been really good if she was the housekeeper's granddaughter by blood, but family in all other senses. But that's just me.
Eh, we knew from the beginning that Beakley was hiding something from Webby. That gave the character motivation and intrigue. And I wouldn’t say that Webby being Scrooge’s daughter sours the message that family doesn’t come from blood. Lena is considered family and yet isn’t blood related to the McDucks. Launchpad has also been there since the beginning and is considered family. Same for Beakley too. And some would say that Gyro and Boyd would even fit into that category. Webby’s main theme has been identity. She wanted so badly to know about her parents, only to ultimately find that FOWL made her for their own purposes. This comes close to crushing her, until she realizes that she is related to her personal hero. I personally think that it’s a fantastic end to Webby’s arc, as it is a satisfying mystery, ties her into the main conflict, and finally gives her a satisfying answer as to who her parents were, as it just wouldn’t be all that interesting if we found out that they were nobodies after all of this buildup.
This is so perfect that it pulled off the whole "I'm the child of (insert something cool here) so i'm gonna be able to do what they did just as good!" Because scrooge is related to adventure.
I think giving webby a blood relation undermines her arc a bit (also scrooge just randomly "becoming" a {spoiler} is... well it's not bad... it just felt like it didn't quite have the impact writers hoped it would... but maybe that would have been less of a problem if I didn't have have problems with webby.) otherwise you said exactly what I would have but better. (yes the ailiens was the better finale) also thanks for pointing out the "family matter" line... that *does* hit different.
i’ve seen so much criticism of this final episode so this was a breath of fresh air, thank you so much for making this video and showing people how this finale is so good!!
I’m still sad about it’s ending I had found this show at the beginning of quarantine and kept me happy and sane throughout most of it, and now it’s ended
I'm kinda sad it's over, both because I loved the show; but I also wanted to see May & June interact with Webby. Would've be hilarious to see how OP they are when teamed up.

I actually wept when Huey explained that he got the map from LP’s dreams. The last effort Smart LP did was to ask for LP to remember him. And he actually did. That really got me.
it's a shame they never brought back Nega Duck from the darkwing movie episode. it makes me wonder was there plans for him but they were scrapped or will there be a darkwing duck spin off
Just saying, I am shocked they didn't find a way to fit in Nega Duck after his cliffhanger ending, but I can't really think of a place he would have fit in.
He was going to be the second villain of the Let's Get Dangerous special, he was the one to brought the Fearsome Four instead of making Bulba another fan of the old show. But because of his VA, Jim Cummings legal problems and war with his ex-wife, that led to Disney not wanting Jim around and made the Ducktales crew scrap Negaduck.

Makes you wonder how different this show would've been with four seasons. Would they have kept this season the same and continued from there or would they push the Fowl plotline back and have a different villain take centerstage for the third season (possibly Negaduck or Dr Akita).
They they didn't conclude the evil darkwing duck actor movie guy that turned evil at the end of the episode hopefully he'll be in the darkwing duck show and it'll connect
Bradford never worked for me as a compeling villain due to his plan not being possible in the long run along with his self sabotaging of his own group and his overall focus on Scrooge being the ""only" chaotic thing he needed to focus on. While having the papyrus was a great idea and getting it worked, he shouldn't have relied on it as the only means to stop Scrooge but also find a way to conitnue his means of acheving order; true he said there were risk of the papyrus being too literal but if he were careful enough he could have found away. Also, him calling Scrooge an unpredictable threat doesn't truly hold that much water when he's not the only one that is unpredictable in the world that Bradford needed to keep an eye; he focused so much on Scrooge that never could take into account being like Magica (when she imprisoned and used Lena), Lunaris (when he knew nothing about aliens being on the moon), Glomgold (who is by every definition of unpredictable), and just being from other dimensions that can come into there world now that it's been proven by his own former FOWL sceientist Taursu Bulbua that if they can open another dimension so can anyone else. There's also goverments, busineses, and even regular people who could be inspired to go on adventures and mess things that is out of the ordinary that Bradford never had any control over and neither did Scrooge Lastly, him getting rid of Black Heron and his own clones just to prove a point was just foolish; not saying getting rid of them wouldn't need to happen later but he could have waited until he succeded. I''m not trying to add too much logic into this since his plan never go in the way of the plot and story wrap ups but even so a final villain like him should have known better and thought a lot of it more through if he's going to win; even before all of this I did not believe Bradord was going to win no and I almost believed Magica and Lunaris could have one in their season finale episodes to some capcity. (Sorry if this was long but I can't help going off on how bad Bradford's plan really was and how his backstory didn't make me feel bad for him in any way.)
How about the "Legend of the Three Caballeros" series which features Donald, the other two Caballeros, Daisy and her nieces April, May and June going on their own adventures? It's on Disney +.
It does seem like webby being scouges daughter is a doctor who reference because scouge is played by David tenant who play the 10th doctor who also had a daughter made from his dna
Although I can respect that you love the finale so much, that's not the same story for me. I feel as though Huey's plot got pushed to the side way to much, and that his story arch wasn't properly resolved (like Dewey's and Louie's were). Also, I'm not against a Webby plot, but I feel as though making her apart of the female triplets (April, May, and June) just doesn't really work, because the female triplets were originally Daisy's nieces and are basically the female version of the triplets (Huey, Dewey and Louie). I know it's a minor thing but really, I think if they had been any other name I would have been fine with it, but I would have felt better if they just excluded Daisy's niece entirely, because it's basically just removing April from the trio. There are many other problems I have with the finale, but to put it simply, I feel as though they strayed too far from the original stories (Ducktales, Daisy's family, basically just the Duck family in general) and that they tried to cram in too much in the finale, there should have been an episode where Huey's plot gets resolved and then the finale could be focused on Webby, I would have been satisfied with that. Either way, I respect your opinion on the finale, and I really like the video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Although I think we can all agree that Mickey, Minnie, Pluto or even Goofy, should have had at least a short cameo, even if just for a single screenshot.
EXACTLY. And it wasn't a "minor" thing. The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T Scrooge's actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree. And I too feel upset that Huey's arc was pushed aside for Webby despite Huey (like Dewey and Louie is a main triplet while Webby isn't). 😑😡
I’ll just say that since Lena is sidelined, I feel like we should’ve even had a moment where Webby reconciled with Lena over what happened? There could’ve been one last interaction between Team Magic.
No single episode is bad, but I'm still kinda sad about how they kept changing Lena's relationship with Webby. S1 seemed to have them on a solid path to something romantic ("heroic teen ne'er-do-well who can sneak into anywhere, including your heart"), S2 pulled the brakes on that pretty hard, and S3 had it do a full 180 with the whole "sisters" line.
@The 2nd Dimension I know this is unrelated to the video but please read this it is about Milo. So I was just on the Wikipedia page for MML and it said on Feb 23rd, Swampy said that Disney apologized to both him and Dan for promoting the show poorly and that the show is doing well on Disney+ it is also ranked #77 on the top 100 list on Disney+ and the audience demand is 2.5 times the average tv show. If we keep it up at this rate, maybe Disney will renew it for a 3rd season. I hope you and anyone else out there reads this. I just wanted to tell someone because we have seen in the past how an audience can effect the show. It happened with Kim Possible back in 2005 so let's make it happen again. Tell your friends, family or whoever, talk about it on social media and together we can get milo renewed. P.S if this is too long of a comment, I am sorry. #RenewMML
I just really hate that Webby's entire arc was that she was not technically part of the family, and then this was further shown when the clones cut the threads to everyone and then even farther by the fact that she was a fowl clone and not even related to Beakly, but then she just ends up being literally related to Scrooge undoing all of that
EXACTLY. This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
As a season finale this was good but as series finales go, this was pretty lame and felt super rushed. Webby being an artificial scrooge mcduck heir was a cool story idea but one that came out of nowhere. May and June should have been introduced earlier this season. I enjoyed Bradford as a villain and he was the standout for sure. but bradford being the grandson of Isabella finch was just not really needed and added nothing to the story. Bradford not liking adventuring because it brings upon chaos is good enough. There were quite a few ideas that were really cool and i liked how there were several references to past episodes and how isabella's mysteries all tied together. the ending...was not great. no huge epilogue and the whole "family is the greatest adventure" thing was such a cop out. i wish they handled the resolution of that storyline much better. it just doesn't feel very satisfying to me which is a shame because i loved every previous season finale. I must say tho, the credits were a nice touch. This was supposed to be the Endgame of Ducktales(and the creators certaintly are capable of doing that), but in the end i just find myself disappointed and unsatisfied. I wish more of this season focused on the fowl plotline more, the ideas introduced in this finale could have been established a few episodes ago.
Funny how that whiteboard image it's also clear that was in early plannings and a lot of it was tweaked. Like how you can see Mark Beak's original planned name (Mark Duckerberg) or the fact that Daisy is there as she originally was gonna be Donald's ex-girlfriend and working as Glomgold's secretary (a concept that was completely scrapped early on)
Perfectly said. All of the payoffs in this finale were amazing (the harp, oof what a good scene!) and I'm so impressed with how great of a villain they managed to make Bradford. Ultimately though, this is Webby's story, and how central she is in this narrative and this family from moment one that made this one of the most engaging stories I'd seen in a while. I was EXTREMELY emotionally invested. It all truly felt final and the scene transitions just served to further underline this as a thrilling adventure serial movie. Even though Launchpad is prone to crashing, this finale absolutely stuck the landing 😌
I think that Timephoon is the worst episode of Ducktales because Della grounded Louie when not even being told that his siblings have also stolen stuff and almost got their family killed like Huey and Dewey stealing Scrooge’s submarine or Dewey joining Don Karnage’s crew just to get attention, Louie should still kind of know that messing with time can have consequences since he has probably watched movies and shows where that happens even though he was being greedy about the treasure. Della also should have stayed with Louie instead of going on his dream adventure with the rest of her family and leaving him with a robot that had a history of turning evil but Glomtales is still better than Timephoon because it was Scrooge’s team against Glomgold’s team and Louie’s scheming in the end saved his family.
Well, I think he deserved to be grounded for at least 10 years. I mean, nearly destroying the universe because of utter greed and before even becoming a teen is clearly wrong on so many levels. Though, I guess he didn't intend on doing it. Still, it was kinda good that Della left him alone and Huey called him which was kinda added torture. Also, even clearly being in the wrong, he still chose to be stubborn and tried to leave the house.
@@MiraculousHolder365 not to mention the one recording where she said the his schemes only lead to bad things for his family and he had to stop scheming of he wanted to be a part if the family (basically threatening his place in the family). That was just way out of line, way out of character and way too mean spirited.
@William Davila Actually, it was a threat that if he didn't stop scheming he wasn't going to go on any adventures with his family, but I agree with those last two points you made.
@@A_Random_Guy_Who_Animates No, because Webby is NOT canon and yet the entire episodes was about her and the reveal disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES just to force her into canon despite canon not working like that. 😑

Webby was oddly set up as family. If she was the main kid featured in the holiday or spy episodes, she was partnered with scrooge. They even have her with abnormal strength in the 1st episode, by taking down a tree with a toy ball. If she hadn't been obsessed with the mcDucks, she would be really into spy stuff, and her being a kid locked away in the Manson would have unintentionally made her a great spy, and thus a great weapon for FOWl.

And her supposed "strength" is a rip-off (as almost everything else she has) from *Donald* who used to uproot trees (including Sequoias, the heaviest trees in the world and that in real life weigh 2 million - 4 million pounds), headbutt mountain goats and punch out sharks _long_ before Scrooge's creation. The family's strength, fighting prowess and rage came from Donald, not Scrooge.
ikr.
@@ThePaganSun Actually, it's a reference to how, in the French version of the original Ducktales, both Weeby and April (Who is one of Daisy's three triplets) share the same name. They're practically seen as the same character, so the show writers brought that into the story. (Fun Fact: Donald taking May and June on their vacation is again, a reference to how they're Dasiy's kids in the original series.)
@@skeletalwither I doubt it because the series wasn't created in France and DT87 Webby was actually created to be a combination of all three of Daisy's nieces. So the fact that Webby's name in French is the same as April is probably just a coincidence. Or maybe the French decided to deliberately name her after April.
Whatever the case, it still doesn't make April and Webby the same character. They're not at all. April, May and June are Daisy's nieces and are canon to the Carl Barks comics while Webby was Beakley's granddaughter and isn't canon in the source material, just in Ducktales.
And I don't think so. It was Donald that took them in DT17 rather than Daisy so I wonder if it's more a reference to Legends of the Three Caballeros series where April, May and June are Daisy's nieces (as they are in canon) but look after Donald's cabin that he inherited along with Panchito and Jose and they fight a cosmic sorcerer together.
Plus, if the DT17 writers wanted them to be a reference to how they're Daisy's nieces, they should've actually made them Daisy's nieces ... because that's what they are. None of this copy-cat sci-fi nonsense that elevates Newbie Webby above the actual canon characters and has to disrupt three established families to make it work. Neither she nor Beakley were even fighters! Those are skills and abilities they ripped off from Donald who's performed great feats of strength in anger and determination in both his classic cartoons and the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics.
@@ThePaganSun in the comics scrooge was stronger than Donald. And yes they changed the story too much that is why Rosa also hate it the show. But it was a good show. If people can make mental gymsnatics when changing a character race, they can make a simple jump too accept this.

My favorite episode is the Missing Links of Moorshire. It has the dubious distinction of being a perfect episode, just like the finale, until the last few seconds when it ends on a lame joke. Relentlessly homicidal Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy is one of the funniest running gags EVER.

My sister and I completely lost it when we realized who the voice actors were. Only DuckTales would take My Little Pony and turn them into child drowning ponies.
It was a great ending tbh, Kinda sad it’s gone at least there is a new podcast on DisneyNOW
The first podcast episode was really fun!
And when they happen isn't said so I hope it takes place after the finally.

This finale... it is just so perfect I can’t say it enough. I thought that it would be great, but I absolutely did not expect it to be ENDGAME QUALITY. That is an impossible feat that I did not even think any TV show finale could achieve. Well done DuckTales. Well done.
It really is Endgame quality. It's so amazing they managed to do everything they did in this episode!
Honestly, it might be the most perfect finale ever on television.
This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
@@ThePaganSun Stop spamming
@@JNSC_18 NO. And stop trying to tell me what to do. 😑
This episode was perfect. There was a major focus on Webby though Huey is in a lot of it. This felt like a satisfying ending to the show and I’m glad it ended the way it did
I do like how they made Huey go on his own path for a while as opposed to him being on the rescue mission with the other kids, showing how he can now face the unknown without the need for a guidebook to lead him, as opposed to in Season 1 where he would’ve preferred being crushed in the light than face unknown monsters in the dark

@@pigglesgoomshby7249 The Junior Woodchucks guidebook was extremely important in the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comic's and in the original Ducktales. That's one of the few good things DT17 kept. It was bad enough they stripped Dewey and Louie of being Woodchucks too.
The genius thing, as well, is that when you go back and rewatch, it's so obvious from the beginning that Scrooge was Webby's dad
Indeed, the hints were all over the place.

@@Ncholasbloom Rewatch Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22. Scrooge and Webby totally have the dynamic of an estranged father and daughter trying to reconnect.
@@stwbmc98 don’t forget last Christmas where della is literally webby
The thing I would have changed: Webby alone would not have brought forth the Papyrus. Because being related by blood doesn't make one an heir. Family is more than that.
Instead, I would have had all the kids be needed. All four: the sharp, the smart, the tough, and the adventurous.
Especially since she's the one that's not actually related to them in canon. By elevating her over Scrooge's actual canon family, it's disrespectful to them. If the idea of the show was to pay homage to Carl Barks, why did they choose to elevate a newbie that doesn't even exist in the original comics over the actual Duck that inspired the WHOLE world of Duckburg including Scrooge? Donald.
@@ThePaganSun I see your argument, but need I remind you that Scrooge specifically said "DIRECT descendant" when he used the papyrus to stop Black heron from getting it? Realistically, the line could've been changed, but if it was changed to just "family" then it would've gone to Donald and Della who were right there. Also, paying homage to something doesn't necessarily mean using every single detail. I mean, was Della Duck -an actual character- stuck on the moon in the Carl Barks comics as well?
@@bolttwo The point is that Webby isn't even canon let alone a "direct descendant" of Scrooge so by the show trying to force her to be one is disrespectful to Scrooge's actual canon family.
And AGAIN (and I'm really tired of repeating this) no one saying the show "had to follow every detail from the comics" but elevating a semi-newbie over a character's canonical family is NOT some little change!
Changing Scrooge's coat from red to blue is a little change. But trying to make it seem as if the legacy of Carl Barks and Scrooge begins and ends with Webby when she doesn't even exist in the Carl Barks comics and when that credit actually belongs to DONALD is something else entirely.
Imagine if the Darkwing reboot replaced Gosalyn as Darkwing's daughter with some other newbie girl or boy like Lena or Violet or BOYD. Would you and the fans like such a change then??? See the difference?
Again...newbies need to fit into the established canon. We don't change canon to fit the newbies. Not Ducktales and definitely not the Carl Barks were never _Webby's_ story. It was supposed to be based on DONALD'S family and DONALD was the first to inspire the Carl Barks comics and thus Ducktales. The show pretty much let Webby pretty much hijack Donald's story, adventures and even family and that's downright _unforgivable._
@@ThePaganSun First of all, they did not make Scrooge's legacy begin and end with Webby. Webby was the reason the papyrus fell into the hands of FOWL, because she was made with the genetic material of Scrooge (Direct Descendant, again). Donald is NOT a direct descendant, nor is he truly Scrooge's heir. Sure, Donald may be the reason for Duckburg and Scrooge's existence in the Carl Barks comics, but that does not mean that he needed to have a huge role in the finale. He was barely in the original Ducktales, and he got a major role in this show as well, but not as important as the triplets, Scrooge, and Webby.
Second, Webby's existence is because this is a DUCKTALES Reboot, not an ADAPTATION of the Comics. She's elevated as a character because she had little to no importance in the original series, and the creators wanted to change that. The idea that the sole reason for Webby's plot importance is to screw over Donald is ignoring the several DECADES of attention Donald has gotten through other series (Kingdom hearts, for example). Donald is an important character, yes. But for him to be that important at the end of Ducktales would be a disservice to characters that are FROM Ducktales.
@bolttwo Yeah, DT17 _did_ make Scrooge's legacy begin and end with Webby despite the fact that her being Scrooge's "direct descendant/clone" was entirely _made up_ by the show!! She's not related to Scrooge in the least!! And actually Donald IS Scrooge's heir, both in the comics and even in the show. So Donald should've indeed had a huge role in both the show and the finale because he _is_ the reason for the legacy of Carl Barks and Scrooge himself, NOT newbie Webby! And, he's more far important hijacking newbie. The only reason he didn't show up more in the original Ducktales was because Tony Anselmo was still new to his role as Donald's voice! Webby is _irrelevant._ So NO. DONALD began the legacy. And thus _he_ deserves the credit, not that elevated hijacking newbie.
So what if it's a reboot?! It's still based on the original series and thus should follow the canon of the original series! Webby had little importance to the original series because _again_ it was never about _her!!_ Those were not _her_ adventures! It supposed to be about DONALD'S. Webby was lucky to exist at all! Donald is the one who inspired Carl Barks and thus Ducktales itself so if any character deserved to be elevated it should've been him. For it to be some semi newbie of all people is downright disrespectful to him and had it been any other canon character in any other franchise that got shafted thanks to a newbie, the Fandom would've been up in arms.
The ultimate problem with _both_ versions of Ducktales is how little a role Donald plays compares to his role in the comics where he IS the main character and since the comics are not as well known in the USA, it's even more a disservice since now the fans think that DT17 is accurate to the comics or that the first time they see many of Donald's extended family in animation are as distorted versions of themselves.
Again...all this talk of "reboots" is seems all well and good now, but let's see if you fans here will change your tune when the Darkwing REBOOT comes out and if it makes as drastic a change as DT17 did. Let's see how you'll react if Darkwing gets sidelined in his own show or if he adopts a other daughter like a newbie called Gabby and sidelines Gosalyn and Gabby will actually be Darkwing's clone! Such a tiny change, right? I'm sure you'll take such drastic changes in stride, right? After all, if such changes are all well and good here, then they should be all well and good there too.
It doesn't matter how much other media or attention Donald gets. The fact is that _he_ is the inspiration for the source material for Ducktales and the credit belongs to _him_ Not Webby. It was HIS story, adventures, and family. Not hers. To try to force it to be otherwise is absolutely a disservice to DONALD and the world HE inspired.
Shame on the writers and the show for not giving credit where it's _actually_ due.
Ducktales did a pretty good job of wrapping up every loose thread.
*Almost* every loose thread. Negaduck got lost in the Aether of Loose Plot Threads, unfortunately.

@@somethingspontaneous4982 It might not be the same continuity, we don't know yet.
@@TheLithp well in the finale, we saw the red laser thing introduced in the darkwing duck special, so I think it would be able to be canon. Plus, being part of the ducktales reboot and using the same actors would just be the smart thing to do

This finale has SO many great payoffs. Not only because it incorporates every single missing mystery, but how every important and sometimes minor character gets their big conclussion.
Like, the episode starts showing how far Webby has gone since her first spotlight episode. The entire finale is like that.
Webby is a newbie and isn't actually canon to the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree.

Honestly, I’d say the biggest missed opportunity is not having a episode that focuses on the kids all together. Boyd and Lena could bond over their atypical origins, Gosalyn hanging out with the other kids (especially Webby), parental bonding between Drake, Donald, Gyro etc. Heck, maybe an episode focusing on Doofus handling being a normal kid and how Gyro fits into the Drakes.
Also, leaving the Negaduck thread hanging. He was initially meant to appear in LGD, but they decided to leave him out so the story could focus on Gosalyn more.
That could change with the podcast, but we’ll have to wait and see.
And maybe even a continuation series that could focus on the kids.

Bradford, in my opinion, is not only one of the best ducktales villains (the best), but one of the best written Disney villains, and I’m not just talking about Disney shows. I mean he is up there with Disney villains like hades, scar, maleficent, etc. He has a brilliant origin, I was never expecting him to be related to the legendary Isabella Finch, the actor who plays him, Marc Evan Jackson (who I’m already a fan of from the good place) is perfect for the role, the way the creators introduced him to us is honestly mind blowing, making the viewers believer both himself, the other vultures and even FOWL were all throwaway characters to the big bars of the entire show, responsible for pulling every string like a puppet master. I can’t think of a problem with him and I haven’t even gotten to the best part, that part is that both himself and most of fowl have the ability to return (remember Disney are making a dark wing series) and with the stone of what was making clones it’s pretty easy to bring him back, we saw a clone already and by using the third eye diamond, we have Bradford buzzard back basically. What do you guys and girls think of this statement ?❤️❤️🪶🪶
Disagree. Bradford is a walking contradiction. He's a villain who claims not to want to be a villain but blatantly does villain-y things. Nothing special about him.
@@ThePaganSun well, that’s kind of the point. The point is by hat Bradford thinks he’s the hero of the story, that he’s doing the right thing, when he doesn’t realize all the terrible things he’s doing to get the “perfect world” he wants. That’s why when he gets the sword of swansintine, he becomes a large very evil looking person, because inside he’s a villain, but he doesn’t realize it. What makes him special is that he doesn’t know he’s the villain, it’s not a problem, it’s awesome writing.
@@ThePaganSun I agree. He's nothing compared Ernst Stavro Blofeld who is a genius.

@@Doomzdehfr, peeps need to let go of their nostalgia and accept that this show is a masterpiece
I should have seen what that "Ottoman Empire" gag was foreshadowing.
Oh....? 👀
This finale was really ambitious, and had a lot of places it could have fallen flat. They tried to get basically every character in there and have a moment that showed how every character has grown through the series. This is really hard to do in a single episode, and they kinda nailed it. You mentioned Huey's moment, there's also a moment where Louie uses his people skills to help Dewey realize he really has the skills to get them out of a tough situation, and the adults fully acknowledged how valuable the kids were. Even if it wasn't much, every character had at least a moment in this episode where they shined, and somehow they managed to pull that off without this episode feeling unfocused.
It was impressive, I didn't like season 3 as much as I did the previous two seasons, but the series definitely ended with a bang.
I kinda didn’t like how much they changed Webby and the girl triplets. First May and June are clones, then Webby is April, then she’s is a clone of Scrooge, then she’s Scrooge’s daughter. It just felt rushed and unnecessary. She said herself “Family is who you choose to be part of it.” Webby was already part of the family, she didn’t need to be related to Scrooge to see that.
It's sad that they ended the show, but if they made another season, it wouldn't be right since they were building up to FOWL since episode one. Plus, this was a great way to end the show. Great plot twists, funny jokes and an overall great finale. The credits made me cry so much...
Also, it was kinda funny how normal Glomgold is kind of more an idiot than mindless slave Glomgold.
I loved this episode. Was I the only one who was getting a little teary eyed. It was really nice of Scrooge to pay for Webby to have her birthday at Funzo's even though he didn't know she was his daughter, I also liked seeing Boyd, Lena and Gosalyn take out the cameras. I loved getting to learn about Webby's past, and with her being made from Scrooges DNA so she is his daughter I didn't see coming(so long all ships with Webby and any of the triplets, to be fair their children so it wasn't going to happen anyway and the creators said they weren't going to give Webby a love interest). This episode was perfect. I LOVED seeing Gosalyn back. In the fight with SteelBeak, Gosalyn really felt like Quiverwing Quack(her hero identity from the original Darkwing Duck). Darkwing is clueless(maybe also just not wanting to believe Fenton is GizmoDuck). Bradford is officially the most evil character. Using the lesson from the first episode and the season one finally was perfect. And overall the ending was perfect. A few things I wanted to see were Fenton being the one to rescue Gandra and see more interactions with them and see Gosalyn and Webby interact. But over all this was perfect and the ending credits was really fun. I am sad Ducktales is over and regret starting to watch it when I did(a little after quarantine started) and I won't make that mistake if their is a reboot for Darkwing duck. Disney PLEASE, Darkwing duck reboot next!
I have good news and bad news for you. Good news is that they announced the Darkwing reboot months ago so that is happening. Bad news is that they haven't given us any details. We don't even know if it'll be a spinoff of this show or a completely new iteration. We also don't know how much if any of the talent for this show will work on the Darkwing reboot.
This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
@@ThePaganSun I've heard people say that they don't like the Webby reveal because it sort of goes against one of her major themes of being found family instead of family by blood. While I don't entirely agree with that I do see it as a valid critique. If your argument is that it's bad because it isn't canon and you don't like things that are different then I don't know why you watched the reboot all the way through anyway. Canonically Della's a complete deadbeat, the triplets share a personality, Scrooge is a borderline villain about half the time, and pretty much all of the supporting cast outside of Launchpad, and maybe Glomgold, are completely different people. The reboot was never just a rehash of the comics or original series. What made it great was that it managed to balance references to the original canon with totally new material which let it induce nostalgia without becoming an uncreative and inferior copy of the original show like a lot of reboots do.
@@ap7635 But it did became an inferior copy.
@@zoroark2002 You're free to have that opinion. I can't really dispute you unless you give some reasoning for why you think that. But I watched the original ducktales as a kid and while it was a great show, as far as I can tell nostalgia is the only reason to see it as better than the reboot. In my opinion the reboot has better comedy, more fleshed out characters, and more interesting overarching plotlines. Not to say that the original show did poorly in any of those aspects. It was great for it's time. It was one of the first american cartoons I saw that had multi parters fairly often. But modern cartoons tend to be allowed to have more depth than older ones and Ducktales 2017 is no exception.
Just wish that Fenton and Gandra got a few more moments together in this episode, as they only had a few moments together at the very end.
Also, I wish they could squeeze in Daisy in the end so that she and Donald could have a moment together as well.
-also where's Goofy-
In a box I believe.
I would've preferred a lot more interactions with actual canon characters rather than the bloated amount of newbies we got.
ikr, Daisy only appears in like 2 episodes, but she was so great!
@@ThePaganSun And it should've had more canon romance and ships for variety and fun.
@@zoroark2002 Yeah. It didn't need to be too explicit. But the kids were around 13-14 when the series ended which is old enough to at least date and contrary to the DT17 writers' delusions, Webby ISN'T related to them. So there's nothing wrong with it.
"Just in the past thirty years, we've seen hyper-intelligent rodents, caped crusaders, flying bears, bouncing bears, living statues, and a veritable troupe of goofs, misfits, and adventurers."
What a great homage to all the classic Disney cartoons of the 80's and 90's. This series was brilliant. Really sad and ridiculous that Disney didn't decide to renew it for more seasons.
Hoping we at least get an animated series in the same vein for Rescue Rangers and Darkwing.
Honestly, the whole show is freaking brilliant and went above and beyond what I expected from a reboot of DuckTales. And I also love Moonvasion. (That entire dogfight sequence with Lunaris was theater worthy stuff) Even though The Last Adventure was a PERFECT and immensely satisfying close to the series.
This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
You better listen to ThePaganSun
The season finale is great, I liked it all but I still think Huey should’ve gotten more time for the end of his character development. I also think that it was a little weird that Webby was Scrooge’s daughter still doesn’t fit right with me, don’t get me wrong I love all of it just like come on, give Huey more plot lol.
I agree Huey could have used a bit more time, but at least they gave him the most of the triplets!
AGREED. The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree. 😑😡
I kind of feel like Webby being Scrooge's biological daughter kind of takes away from the found family aspect that they established early on in season 1. She was already a part of the family, placing her as a blood daughter didn't feel necessary. I kind of would of liked it if she was the true heir without being related to him. After all, out of all the kids, none of them are more deserving or more likely to carry on Scrooge's legacy than Webby. The Papyrus is supposed to twist the meanings of it's words against common expectations and Webby being his rightful successor without being biologically related would have cemented the ideals of the cast being made of a large extended family.
Edit: Everything else about the finale was amazing tho, the end credits were beautiful ❤️
@@baileythewitchofvoid8784 I partially agree. Her being Scrooge's biological daughter also disrespects his canon family, her canon family and April, May and June as characters who are actually Daisy's nieces and have nothing at all to do with Webby. Their previous relationship was better because it proved she didn't have to be biologically related to be cared for by Scrooge and his family and at least that arrangement didn't contradict canon. This reveal, on the other hand, feels extremely forced.
I think the thing is that in the other seasons, the focused triplet had their own episode before the season finale to end a major portion of their arc and to put the next episode in full swing mostly detached from their arc, Dewey finally discovering the secret of the Spear of Selene and then setting up Scrooge as a lonely vulnerable old man again, and Louie finally learning what it truly means to be the richest duck in the world with Penumbra warning Della about the invasion thanks to Louie’s reckless actions, while for season 3 they needed the extra 23 minutes to make a satisfying FINAL adventure with many of the important main/side characters, so they gave Huey his own overarching final arc separate from most characters during the 69 minutes that happened in tandem with all the other characters’ moments, so I personally think he got as much focus as the other triplets in their season, it just happened to occur when everyone else was having some focus on their story
I would have ended the show with Dewey saying, 'Before we all fall to our doom, CAN WE KNOW WHO IS OUR FATHER?'
I think the whole clone concept is ingenious for years before this reboot people always assumed that Huey Dewey and Louie were always clones of each other. Now they finally integrated that concept into the show
I mean, they're identical triplets. They might as well be clones.
@@commenturthegreat2915 identical twins and triplets are considered natural clones of each other so you’re technically right.
Fun fact webys clones are both sides of her June is her mad side and may is her good side
I just finished watching ducktales and man it makes me really sad to see it come to and end. Ducktales was there to keep me accompany throughout these dark times and it really hits home watching it. I’d honestly sell my soul just so there could be a season4
I wish more shows got the chance to end on their own terms and on a high note like this. Due to how close the ending of Ducktales was to the ending of Big Hero 6 The Series in air date I can’t help but comparing the two and how much better treated this show ending was than than that one.
Webby is such a good character, that when they are standing up to Scrooge to go get her and they simply state “It’s WEBBY”
You *GET* it
It’s enough to make a grown man cry. I’m almost a full grown man as I’m only 19 and I like to think my self as having less sensitivity then others but I’m always proven wrong want tears come out of my eyes. This episode made me cry and as I get depressed super easily, my mood was down the whole day and my temper was easy to ignite. I this is why I struggle rewatching shows and movies. If I know it’s sad at the end, I don’t want to rewatch it because of my sensitivity, depressed mood, and temper. (Temper is from my Scottish side I’m guessing lol.)
David Tenant went from Doctor, to Purple villain, to rich Duck.
He is an incredible actor.
My only complaint I have with this finale is that with making Webby Scrooge's daughter, it kinda throws off the "found family" piece. With her being blood related, it takes away from him just seeing her as family rather than making it a bold fact. I thought she'd be able to find the paper simply because he THINKS of her as kin, rather than making her kin, yknow? But overall awesome finale, the sisters were fabulous and his is my favorite cartoon on Disney, and maybe overall. Thanks for the video! (I know im a year late, I finished this show recently okay??)
Webby being Scrooges Daughter, April McDuck is a massive shock that no one saw coming. But in a way it explains Webby's obsession with clan McDuck. She unknowingly wanted to find out more about her family. That's what I love about the finale. And it's a fantasic reboot.
I would argue that although on the surface each season has been one of the nephew’s seasons, the entire show has been Webby’s story.
I appreciate all the little touches that the finale adds in to make it work. Take, for example, when Bradford promises to tell Webby why she was created if she helps him. Nobody acknowledges it in the moment, but the Harp of Mervana would have called him out on it if he were lying, so Webby knew he was telling the truth! Little details like that are why this show isn't just another cartoon.
Honestly, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic may have affected me more, emotionally, and is still my favorite cartoon, but Ducktales (2017) is probably, objectively, the best animated show I've ever seen, and I will recommend it to anyone who seems remotely interested.
To be honest, I didn't really like the reveal that Webby was technically Scroog's daughter. I liked the message of chosen family that was intertwined throughout the series so much, and I feel that her being related by blood took away from that :/
There is one thing i think they missed... Negaduck...
The original actor of Darkwing Duck, Jim Starling, who lost his mind after savind Drake and Launchpad lifes.
But then, not even when Gossalyn was introduced, not even when the original DW villains were shown up... he never appeared again.
And they have chances to introduce him.
Like, after Moonvasion when they see DW become part of Scrooge "family", FOWL could have recruit him.
and in Let's Get Dangerous, dude, i mean, if the villains stayed in the Ducktales dimension, he could easily come back as the leader just like in the orginal show.
So... its just a miss?
...Or maybe being saved for something else?
A storyboard artist revealed a while back that in Let’s Get Dangerous, Bulba originally would’ve been arrested at the end of part 1, and Negaduck (posing as Bulba’s new assistant) would’ve revealed himself right before bringing over the Fearsome Four, but the crew, especially Frank Angones, felt Negaduck would’ve been done a major disservice with what little focus he would actually get
I do think that would’ve been a legitimate problem because as opposed to The Duck Knight Returns, where the episode is as much an origin for Negaduck as it is for DW, Negaduck would’ve only gotten a few short moments sprinkled throughout and at the end when compared to to how much time DW, Gosalyn, and Launchpad would get in the 23 minutes, or the moments between Bradford and the triplets, or even the moments the Fearsome Four got when separated from Bulba, since the plots of the episode were more of the DW trio coming together and the triplets discovering Bradford’s true motives, so I do get why instead of trying to shove Negaduck in halfway through, they instead let Bulba have more breathing room to still have his build-up from part 1, and be able to get a few moments as a supervillainous crime boss in part 2
(That being said the storyboards did look very fun and I hope they can reuse the idea of Negaduck using acting skills to gain access to a weapon in the future)
@@pigglesgoomshby7249 ya got a point in there but, imagine if the Fearsome Four stayed in the dimension, becoming real supervillains in the ducktales world.
And putting Negaduck as the leader of the Fearsome Five again.
Negaduck--in any incarnation--is too proud to work for FOWL. If anything, I could picture him taking out FOWL troops so he can have another crack at Darkwing...and possibly Launchpad too. I may just make fanart of that one day.
fun fact, this is the only one of the three episode that Jose Carioca appears where he doesn't speak portuguese.
When I saw him and panchito at the start of the episode I though they would do something relevant since in the season 2 finale everybody except them showed up, oh well... :/
At least they got a song though! They really tried hard to fit in everyone
@@The2ndDimension Yeah, I was at least happy my boy showed up, Brazil doesn't get much representation in animated shows and I really really love Jose, he is still incredibly popular here in Brazil.
@@9-VoltGaming Also, small countries don't get any representation either. Only the big countries. Like, the only Caribbean islands that are on tv are the Bahamas, Barbados and Jamaica..
Man in retrospect you can really see how they planned the webby reveal from the beginning
The only thing I hate about the finale is the fact that webby is Scrooge's daughter, it just doesn't sit right with me. I mean they changed soo much in the canon and this change is kind of the last straw for me. Also Webby is kind of taking the Huey's spotlight in the ending in which is supposed to be a Huey season. The finale feels like a glorified Fanfiction of webby.
I agree
@@zoroark2002 You’re only saying that because you’re upset that any ships between the triplets and Webby is now incest
The only thing I'm sad about is we never got a formal duet of the theme with the original singer and the new singer. That would've made my life XD
One moment that you didn't mention that I love about this finale is the moment where Donald is in danger and Scrooge does not wait to save him like in so many other shows where the savior waits until the last possible second
I really don't like it when Donald needs to be saved. He's the one that should usually do the saving.
I appreciate that they never did the "webby confused for the other clones" trope from the Duck family!
That character board is so cooool
RIGHT. so much good planning
I love the amount of payoff that was in this episode. Most side character got a moment, almost all villains got their moment and it felt like no one was left out even though I’m sure some were.
The one way I think the finale really fell short was how the thematic meaning of Webby (technically) being Scrooge's daughter was presented. The DuckTales crew wanted to say that blood relations aren't what defines a family, but who you come to love and support as a family does. In short, beyond some shock value, Webby being Scrooge's daughter shouldn't change anything between them.
You can sort of tell what their intentions were through Webby's big speech at the end, but then they also emphasize the revelation and play it up a lot and you can clearly tell that Scrooge sees Webby differently now. It undercuts the theme.
DuckTales is all about found family and demonstrates this beautifully through Lena leaving Magica and joining a new family or Mrs. Beakley's motherly bond with Webby surviving the revelation that Mrs. Beakley is not actually related to Webby. Even Scrooge's initial relationship with Webby was a great example of this. But they kind of dropped the ball here.
It still is only a minor complaint, though.
I don’t think it changed that much, honestly. Scrooge more or less had Donald and Della as his surrogate children in the very beginning and the way he reacted when Della returned was a father embracing his child he’d thought dead. Scrooge has kids he has been a surrogate father to. And Webby just happened to be his by blood and they didn’t even know it. Her adoptive mom didn’t even know, for that is what Bentina Beakley truly is.
It still works, her friends are family too, so is BEAKLEY.
Scrooge was always protective
@@PeachWookiee NO. The difference is that Donald and Della actually ARE related to Scrooge. Webby actually isn't. She's NOT canon.
The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T his actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree.
Agreed. This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
The finales was spoiled to me by TH-cam clips :( I usually cry at the end of finales (any finales) but I barely did on this one because all my recommendations were "WEBBY IS SCROOGE'S DAUGHTER???"
That's why I made sure to create an alt until I saw the finale.
Same.

@@ThePaganSun yes she is.
I personally felt like Webby's main character was that she didn't have to be blood related to the McDucks to be considered family and whether or not the finale intended it, it kind of soured that message to me. Almost like it was saying that without a blood relation to Scrooge, she didn't belong in the family at all. I don't think it meant to, quite the contrary I think they wanted to throw Webby a huge bone, giving her what she always would have wanted, but I personally think it could have been really good if she was the housekeeper's granddaughter by blood, but family in all other senses.
But that's just me.
Eh, we knew from the beginning that Beakley was hiding something from Webby. That gave the character motivation and intrigue.
And I wouldn’t say that Webby being Scrooge’s daughter sours the message that family doesn’t come from blood. Lena is considered family and yet isn’t blood related to the McDucks. Launchpad has also been there since the beginning and is considered family. Same for Beakley too. And some would say that Gyro and Boyd would even fit into that category.
Webby’s main theme has been identity. She wanted so badly to know about her parents, only to ultimately find that FOWL made her for their own purposes. This comes close to crushing her, until she realizes that she is related to her personal hero. I personally think that it’s a fantastic end to Webby’s arc, as it is a satisfying mystery, ties her into the main conflict, and finally gives her a satisfying answer as to who her parents were, as it just wouldn’t be all that interesting if we found out that they were nobodies after all of this buildup.
This is so perfect that it pulled off the whole "I'm the child of (insert something cool here) so i'm gonna be able to do what they did just as good!" Because scrooge is related to adventure.
I think giving webby a blood relation undermines her arc a bit (also scrooge just randomly "becoming" a {spoiler} is... well it's not bad... it just felt like it didn't quite have the impact writers hoped it would... but maybe that would have been less of a problem if I didn't have have problems with webby.)
otherwise you said exactly what I would have but better. (yes the ailiens was the better finale)
also thanks for pointing out the "family matter" line... that *does* hit different.
i’ve seen so much criticism of this final episode so this was a breath of fresh air, thank you so much for making this video and showing people how this finale is so good!!
I’m still sad about it’s ending
I had found this show at the beginning of quarantine and
kept me happy and sane throughout most of it, and now it’s ended

Broke: Manny is King Andrias
Woke: Manny is Goliath
I'm kinda sad it's over, both because I loved the show; but I also wanted to see May & June interact with Webby. Would've be hilarious to see how OP they are when teamed up.

Edit: also, the whole "Webby being Scrooges daughter" is canon to this iteration of the show, not the original. It's a reboot. What did you expect? Of course they're going to change a few things.
I actually wept when Huey explained that he got the map from LP’s dreams. The last effort Smart LP did was to ask for LP to remember him. And he actually did. That really got me.
it's a shame they never brought back Nega Duck from the darkwing movie episode. it makes me wonder was there plans for him but they were scrapped or will there be a darkwing duck spin off
I heard he would have been in season 4😅
I totally didn't notice Bill in the journal until now.
Just saying, I am shocked they didn't find a way to fit in Nega Duck after his cliffhanger ending, but I can't really think of a place he would have fit in.
He was going to be the second villain of the Let's Get Dangerous special, he was the one to brought the Fearsome Four instead of making Bulba another fan of the old show.
But because of his VA, Jim Cummings legal problems and war with his ex-wife, that led to Disney not wanting Jim around and made the Ducktales crew scrap Negaduck.
The Last Crash of the Sunchaser was STILL the best episode in the whole DuckTales universe...
This finale was so incredible, I was unable to fall asleep that night.

Wow...
Way to force a word into my mouth I clearly didn't use to open your hate comment.
I enjoyed the finale, but I clearly never used the word "perfect" in my post.
You mentioned a factor you personally dislike and it can be a reasonable criticism, but some of us are allowed to not be bothered by said factor.
You're entitled to your opinions, but I'm also entitled to mine.
So, disagree with me all you like, I can't stop you; but at least be smart enough to not say I said something when I clearly didn't.
By claiming I said X when I never said X specifically, you discredit your entire argument.
I might have said Y, and Y conveys a similar point to X, but Y conveys a less extreme point than X does.
It can be interpreted that you tried to refute me by blowing my review out of proportion.
So, next time you try to make a counter argument, don't just pull a word out of thin air and pretend like it was said.
Use the facts.

Bradford never worked for me as a compeling villain due to his plan not being possible in the long run along with his self sabotaging of his own group and his overall focus on Scrooge being the ""only" chaotic thing he needed to focus on. While having the papyrus was a great idea and getting it worked, he shouldn't have relied on it as the only means to stop Scrooge but also find a way to conitnue his means of acheving order; true he said there were risk of the papyrus being too literal but if he were careful enough he could have found away. Also, him calling Scrooge an unpredictable threat doesn't truly hold that much water when he's not the only one that is unpredictable in the world that Bradford needed to keep an eye; he focused so much on Scrooge that never could take into account being like Magica (when she imprisoned and used Lena), Lunaris (when he knew nothing about aliens being on the moon), Glomgold (who is by every definition of unpredictable), and just being from other dimensions that can come into there world now that it's been proven by his own former FOWL sceientist Taursu Bulbua that if they can open another dimension so can anyone else. There's also goverments, busineses, and even regular people who could be inspired to go on adventures and mess things that is out of the ordinary that Bradford never had any control over and neither did Scrooge Lastly, him getting rid of Black Heron and his own clones just to prove a point was just foolish; not saying getting rid of them wouldn't need to happen later but he could have waited until he succeded. I''m not trying to add too much logic into this since his plan never go in the way of the plot and story wrap ups but even so a final villain like him should have known better and thought a lot of it more through if he's going to win; even before all of this I did not believe Bradord was going to win no and I almost believed Magica and Lunaris could have one in their season finale episodes to some capcity. (Sorry if this was long but I can't help going off on how bad Bradford's plan really was and how his backstory didn't make me feel bad for him in any way.)
I want some spin-off Disney+ movies and maybe shows.
I agree.
How about the "Legend of the Three Caballeros" series which features Donald, the other two Caballeros, Daisy and her nieces April, May and June going on their own adventures? It's on Disney +.
It does seem like webby being scouges daughter is a doctor who reference because scouge is played by David tenant who play the 10th doctor who also had a daughter made from his dna
I honestly think my favorite finale was the shadow war. Fight me. Donald with a real voice was a hilarious gag.
Although I can respect that you love the finale so much, that's not the same story for me. I feel as though Huey's plot got pushed to the side way to much, and that his story arch wasn't properly resolved (like Dewey's and Louie's were). Also, I'm not against a Webby plot, but I feel as though making her apart of the female triplets (April, May, and June) just doesn't really work, because the female triplets were originally Daisy's nieces and are basically the female version of the triplets (Huey, Dewey and Louie). I know it's a minor thing but really, I think if they had been any other name I would have been fine with it, but I would have felt better if they just excluded Daisy's niece entirely, because it's basically just removing April from the trio. There are many other problems I have with the finale, but to put it simply, I feel as though they strayed too far from the original stories (Ducktales, Daisy's family, basically just the Duck family in general) and that they tried to cram in too much in the finale, there should have been an episode where Huey's plot gets resolved and then the finale could be focused on Webby, I would have been satisfied with that.
Either way, I respect your opinion on the finale, and I really like the video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Although I think we can all agree that Mickey, Minnie, Pluto or even Goofy, should have had at least a short cameo, even if just for a single screenshot.
They weren’t allowed to use mickey. Why do you think we got the MELEON?😅
EXACTLY. And it wasn't a "minor" thing. The stupid writers that made this ridiculous episode wrote it that way despite the fact that it disrupts THREE canonical families! Webby ISN'T Scrooge's actual daughter and nor is she a canon part of the Duck/McDuck/Coot family tree.
And I too feel upset that Huey's arc was pushed aside for Webby despite Huey (like Dewey and Louie is a main triplet while Webby isn't). 😑😡
Frank Angones is a dork
I’ll just say that since Lena is sidelined, I feel like we should’ve even had a moment where Webby reconciled with Lena over what happened? There could’ve been one last interaction between Team Magic.
No single episode is bad, but I'm still kinda sad about how they kept changing Lena's relationship with Webby. S1 seemed to have them on a solid path to something romantic ("heroic teen ne'er-do-well who can sneak into anywhere, including your heart"), S2 pulled the brakes on that pretty hard, and S3 had it do a full 180 with the whole "sisters" line.
Weblena was never ment to be romantic
i love DuckTales its my favorite cartoon and you posted this video on my birthday!
@The 2nd Dimension I know this is unrelated to the video but please read this it is about Milo. So I was just on the Wikipedia page for MML and it said on Feb 23rd, Swampy said that Disney apologized to both him and Dan for promoting the show poorly and that the show is doing well on Disney+ it is also ranked #77 on the top 100 list on Disney+ and the audience demand is 2.5 times the average tv show. If we keep it up at this rate, maybe Disney will renew it for a 3rd season. I hope you and anyone else out there reads this. I just wanted to tell someone because we have seen in the past how an audience can effect the show. It happened with Kim Possible back in 2005 so let's make it happen again. Tell your friends, family or whoever, talk about it on social media and together we can get milo renewed. P.S if this is too long of a comment, I am sorry. #RenewMML

Thank you
Now I kinda wonder what would happen if Launchpad had gotten the sword.
I just really hate that Webby's entire arc was that she was not technically part of the family, and then this was further shown when the clones cut the threads to everyone and then even farther by the fact that she was a fowl clone and not even related to Beakly, but then she just ends up being literally related to Scrooge undoing all of that
EXACTLY. This finale was NOT "perfect." It greatly disrupted THREE CANONICAL FAMILIES all for the sake of forcing their newbie Webby into the canon. She's not. Canon doesn't work like that. 😑
But the life jacket scene shows that Scrooge doesn't change his behavior towards Webby. It's cool that we got a background to certain characters.
Launchpad in episode 1 sets the line that’s stops Bradford his line was “aw family really is greatest adventure of oh no the ground”
As a season finale this was good but as series finales go, this was pretty lame and felt super rushed.
Webby being an artificial scrooge mcduck heir was a cool story idea but one that came out of nowhere. May and June should have been introduced earlier this season.
I enjoyed Bradford as a villain and he was the standout for sure. but bradford being the grandson of Isabella finch was just not really needed and added nothing to the story. Bradford not liking adventuring because it brings upon chaos is good enough.
There were quite a few ideas that were really cool and i liked how there were several references to past episodes and how isabella's mysteries all tied together.
the ending...was not great. no huge epilogue and the whole "family is the greatest adventure" thing was such a cop out. i wish they handled the resolution of that storyline much better. it just doesn't feel very satisfying to me which is a shame because i loved every previous season finale. I must say tho, the credits were a nice touch.
This was supposed to be the Endgame of Ducktales(and the creators certaintly are capable of doing that), but in the end i just find myself disappointed and unsatisfied. I wish more of this season focused on the fowl plotline more, the ideas introduced in this finale could have been established a few episodes ago.
Funny how that whiteboard image it's also clear that was in early plannings and a lot of it was tweaked. Like how you can see Mark Beak's original planned name (Mark Duckerberg) or the fact that Daisy is there as she originally was gonna be Donald's ex-girlfriend and working as Glomgold's secretary (a concept that was completely scrapped early on)
Perfectly said. All of the payoffs in this finale were amazing (the harp, oof what a good scene!) and I'm so impressed with how great of a villain they managed to make Bradford. Ultimately though, this is Webby's story, and how central she is in this narrative and this family from moment one that made this one of the most engaging stories I'd seen in a while. I was EXTREMELY emotionally invested. It all truly felt final and the scene transitions just served to further underline this as a thrilling adventure serial movie. Even though Launchpad is prone to crashing, this finale absolutely stuck the landing 😌
He'll Violet didn't even get a chance to do much we don't even know the backstory of how violets family adopted Lena.
ohhhh getting to know that backstory would've been so cool!!!
I think that Timephoon is the worst episode of Ducktales because Della grounded Louie when not even being told that his siblings have also stolen stuff and almost got their family killed like Huey and Dewey stealing Scrooge’s submarine or Dewey joining Don Karnage’s crew just to get attention, Louie should still kind of know that messing with time can have consequences since he has probably watched movies and shows where that happens even though he was being greedy about the treasure. Della also should have stayed with Louie instead of going on his dream adventure with the rest of her family and leaving him with a robot that had a history of turning evil but Glomtales is still better than Timephoon because it was Scrooge’s team against Glomgold’s team and Louie’s scheming in the end saved his family.
It's been awhile since I revisited Timephoon - but the fact that I don't remember much about it says something I think
Well, I think he deserved to be grounded for at least 10 years. I mean, nearly destroying the universe because of utter greed and before even becoming a teen is clearly wrong on so many levels. Though, I guess he didn't intend on doing it. Still, it was kinda good that Della left him alone and Huey called him which was kinda added torture.
Also, even clearly being in the wrong, he still chose to be stubborn and tried to leave the house.
@Jousha Rampersad Well, she still could have just stayed with him instead of going on the adventure but whatever.
@@MiraculousHolder365 not to mention the one recording where she said the his schemes only lead to bad things for his family and he had to stop scheming of he wanted to be a part if the family (basically threatening his place in the family). That was just way out of line, way out of character and way too mean spirited.
@William Davila Actually, it was a threat that if he didn't stop scheming he wasn't going to go on any adventures with his family, but I agree with those last two points you made.
