Drakes phone call with Fenton where he’s exhaustedly trying to figure out how to bring Waddlemeyer back and refusing to listen to fentons words about it being impossible to bring him back because he can’t let her down is in my top 5 favorite scenes from this show.
Yeah it proves that his ego is smaller than the original darkwing duck
@@kkeller968 if you mean from the orginal show not really it something the darkwing in orginal show would also have done
I meant the character who cared more about fame I still like how this drake mallard is less self centered than the original
It had some really good line delivery from chris. Especially the way he said "That's unacceptable, I cannot accept that" was beautiful.
@@kkeller968 He may have been super fixated on fame in the original, but he always did what needed to be done. What made the character endearing was that despite all his attempts at finding glory, he gave it his all while taking a massive beating in the process. The slapstick helped ground the character and stopped him from becoming unlikeable, since he constantly had to struggle for his victories. Even then he was more often than not not recognised for his deeds by the general public and some his fellow hero colleagues. The original Darkwing never would have got the key to the city like this version did, at least not super early into the series, so you would root for him more because of that.
That said, the rebooted version of Darkwing Duck is also really good in his own way. While I do prefer some elements from the original pilot that this episode reflects heavily, this to me is a near perfect reboot of the classic series. I was honestly surprised by how faithful they managed to be to the core of these characters while still making them different enough as to not become a rehash.
Also a nifty callback: when Gosalyn puts a sleeping Darkwing's cape over him like a blanket, she hums the melody to the lullaby "Little Girl Blue," the song from the old cartoon that secretly held the password to the Ramrod.
I knew that hum sounded familiar!!
when I heard Gos humming Little Girl Blue I couldn't stop the tears for how sweet it was
That’s so great.i may not understand this show and it’s references but the fact that the fans are like this brings a smile to my face
Yeah I definitely choked up a bit when I realized it.
All while pulling a reverse card. She put Darkwing to bed instead of the other way around.
'Anyone can do the right thing when it's easy. But it's what you do when things are hard that makes you a hero.'
- Launchpad McQuack 2020
He's right.
You forgot to mention Fenton and his minor/major part in the two parter and how his role showcased the difference between the original relationship between Gizmoduck and Darkwing Duck and their growing workmanship into the reboot. In a way Fenton’s help was a unique way to showcasing how green these heroes are in a way.
They also cleverly still made sure that Darkwing doesn't know that Fenton is Gizmoduck.
The only disappointment was not getting to hear the actual theme song.
And that’s saying something!
And for me it was also that the OG villains ended up getting sucked into the portal
I know! Damn!
Tell me about it, what a missed opportunity to include at least a mixed theme of DW and ducktales
And we didn’t see Negaduck or anything about him
So basically "The Legend of the Chaos god" was the Disney Afternoon version of Infinity War.
More like Into the Afternoon-iverse. Bulba's plot is basically the Kingpin's only less tragic.
More like Secret wars or war or whatever. Given it’s a comic and the actual infinity war has characters nobody cares about
Kinda. If I remember the comics right, a magic amulet would randomly appear in certain comic series but it clearly was a continued story from the previous one. It was really cool seeing how one item kept making an appearance in all these different comic universes and how each world dealt with the problems that came from the amulets arrival.
Josh Brolin as Solego.
@@Loremastrful Yeah, in the original they made it clear that his goons killed gos's grandpa.
Gosalyn's redesign is almost exactly as I imagined her aged up by a few years.
We must will DuckTales season 4 and a Darkwing Duck spin-off into existence
YES!!!
It must already exist somewhere in the multiverse, right? Let's build a ramrod.
@@moritzlinden7169 lol true especially cause s3 might be the last ducktale 2017 season which is really sad
This special proves that Darkwing Duck needs to have his own spinoff series Disney make it happen, we need a full on DARKWING DUCK SPIN OFF show
Hell yeah
agreed
Disney: So how many Disney afternoon shows and ips do you want to reference and become canon in you series.
Ducktales team: Yes.
I really like Bradford Buzzard's development in this special. Guy oozes pragmatic villainy in a crazy world and I feel a little for him.
Darkwing and Gosalyn will appear again in this season and I think that will be the true answer of if we get a show or not
Love the Yu Yu Hakusho avatar. :D
This episode was fantastic overall! But I'm surprised we didn't get even a hint of Jim Sterling as Nega Duck in this episode like, HE'S STILL OUT THERE GUYS!!!
No we definitely did.
Negaduck was from an alternate universe in the original series.
Its no coincidence they're setting up the multiverse and keeping Negaduck hush hush. He's going to play into getting a proper fearsome five, maybe even be the key to getting Goslyn's granpa back.
It's gonna be amazing.
"A sea monster DID NOT eat my ice cream!!"
😂😂😂😂
I'm incredibly impressed by how great this episode was. I never watched the old Darkwing series but this gave me nostalgia. All the plots and character growths are in motion now and it is awesome! Really hits in the feels too. More please!
This episode of DuckTales is easily in my Top 3 for this series. It's the perfect pilot episode for a new series. Also, Megavolt is my favorite Darkwing Duck super villain.
It bugs me that they couldn't get a voice actor for Bushroot. My favorite Darkwing Duck villain deserved more than being turned into a plant zombie.
@XYcat yeah, they probably didn't want to disrespect the actor/character by throwing an impressionist in, bc it wouldnt feel the same
@@Arkham205 but they already changed VA of Liquidator
@@cisarvitiate but they could do that knowing the others are alive and well. As for Megavolt, Dan is probably busy getting that Simpson money.
@@cisarvitiate yeah but Jack Angel (his VA) hasn’t died so changing it wouldn’t be disrespectful
It made me sad to see him like that.
I love how this episode was a love letter and moved the season 3 plot all in one .... I love how successful Zan Owlson
is and that she is Mayor and cleaned up the city.
Not gonna lie, when I saw bonkers my jaw dropped the first time. I actually rewound cuz I was like "was that bonkers?!"
The whole Darkwing Duck and Ducktales being in different realities makes sense. I noticed one thing that that was different from both:
Darkwing Duck was more Looney Tunes while Ducktales was a bit more grounded in reality. Makes perfect sense.
Since Della Duck is around as a pilot, she can easily fill Launchpad's role when he goes off on his adventures with Drake and Gosalyn so there are plenty of cast members to spread between both stories.
I love this episode so much! I really really hope they are launching a new Darkwing series would mean so much! Darkwing was a big part of my childhood so glad he is back :)
While it was fun seeing the references to both the classic Ducktales and Darkwing Duck shows, I was really surprised to see that Bonkers Bobcat exists in the Ducktales 2017 universe.
I’m a bit sad the classic villains got sent back by the end it would have been cool if they stayed
If this was a backdoor pilot for a Darkwing Duck, and it most definitely was, then the one thing everyone needs to do is to watch the episode on the Disney XD youtube channel and to catch in on television. They put the entire episode on the Disney XD youtube channel for everyone to watch and we need to all watch it over and over again. Get the viewership numbers up and prove to Disney that people want to watch the show.
For a few minutes I thought we were about to have Scrooge snd the boys trapped in an alternate dimension due to a destroyed portal giving us a arch of Darkwing Duck with efforts to reopen the portal. I was actually hoping that would be a thing until the possibility was taken out of play.
The amount of references they manage to put in and rework for this show is amazing. They really care.
Who else loved the nod at the end credits with the original theme being played at the end? Man that I get Goosebumps watching it! NO pun intended!
they even threw in the "Gee Gears" catchphrase from the classic Gosalyn...a great tribute for Christine Cavanaugh!
It's "Keen Gear", darling.
This was the best episode of DuckTales ever in my opinion I hope this is somewhat of a backdoor pilot to get Darkwing duck his show back
Wow didn’t expect it this fast. Geez dude I know you were off for a while and had to make up for lost time, but 4 days in a row? Take it easy. Also, is it weird I’m as excited for this as I was the actual episode? And also, god I hope this leads to a DW spinoff
This was great, and they even set up a possible tie in with the Crisis on Infinite Darkwings comic story. This episode was great, and I look forward to the actual reboot.
Edit. I still can't believe they used such an obscure joke in the original Darkwing Duck with Taurus Bullba. His name is a reference to Taras Bulba a novel I think most people watching didn't know existed.
I never watched the original Darkwing Duck, and only got into Ducktales after high school watching it when cartoons being uploaded on TH-cam still happened, so I have been in this rebooted Ducktales with a fresh perspective on Darkwing. And I have loved the way they've done this new origin story for Darkwing Duck- it started out as a simple cameo that factors in to Launchpad's character focus episode. Then it evolved into an actual origin story for Drake Mallard. And now it's a crossover event that's every bit as important to the current Ducktales storyline as it is being the origin of how Drake and Gosalyn met. And I LOVE crossovers, so even with little knowledge of the old show, I have a big appreciation for that episode on that merit alone.
And I love how the show uses both casts so well- Dewey already has experience with a missing parent, so offering to be the Webby in Gosalyn's situation is an amazing use of the crossover side of things as Dewey's already walked a mile in Gos' shoes and immediately sympathizes with her, offering his help in the situation. Scrooge, Huey and Louie uncovering the conspiracy of how this machine Bulba has ties in to the current arc, Bradford being a hilarious villain for being the only sane man in a world of over the top hammy villains, and Launchpad being an amazing emotional core to the group as he, Gosalyn, and Darkwing work to try stopping Bulba's plans. Even Fenton has a fun little role in the episode, being established as DW's tech guy and also being friends with him, while DW still keeps his one sided rivalry with Gizmoduck going.
And that's just the Ducktales cast, as this show has amazingly reinvented Darkwing's cast, just as they did with Ducktales. Darkwing himself, from what little I've seen, is a much more likeable character here- he's got the same ego and need for a big reputation as the original character, but with a much stronger sense of justice and a more friendly demeanor as a whole. Gosalyn, well, I could be totally wrong, since I've only seen bits and pieces of the old show, but she seems to have been made more proactive and capable. Not that original Gosalyn wasn't like that, but this version has been turned up to eleven on that front. And Launchpad... he's still the new Ducktales Launchpad, but now we get more moments where he gets to show he's not just a bumbling comical character. They seamlessly have him switch from a ridiculous goofball who is trying to force a family dynamic on Drake, Gos, and himself by paralleling them to the McDuck family and offering actually sound emotional advice and offering a shoulder to cry on or inspiring people as they try stopping Bulba's plot.
The only nitpick-y thing I have an issue with is, if this is a stealth pilot for a Darkwing Duck reboot (which would be awesome), it felt like sending the Fearsome Four back to their own world was one that would make things harder to have them in a potential reboot. Granted, Launchpad openly stated DW and him know a bunch of scientists who could crack interdimensional travel, so it wouldn't be hard to make a new portal that brings them back. Because I know they were integral characters to the old show they would need to be in a potential reboot. But still, that aside, it was a wonderfully fun episode and it just continues showing Season 3 is just amazing. I'm looking forward to where the story goes from here.
Very good episode and great review. One thing that amuses me is the way F.O.W.L. has a hard time reigning in and focusing their loose cannons (Heron, Steelbeak and now Bulba). I'm sure they'll get it together before the season finale but for now the frustration that Bradford shows is hilarious.
wow this ep was so good and unexpected, love the computer with an attitude, the super charismatic bull and the multiverse. and best line from this ep "all the time but no one listens so there it's no use".
Maybe with access to the multiverse the Rescue Rangers can end up in a universe where there are humans.
Is it just me, or does the top down view of Darkwing's snow suit at 3:47 make it look like the original Negaduck's galvanized look when he got charged up by Megaolt's tronsplitter
Considering how Owlson basically fled to St. Canard to escape the chaos and obsessions of Duckburg billionaires, she can't be thrilled that Scrooge McDuck and his company were at the center of this latest disaster. In fact, with some more prodding, she might become a competent villain.
I just love that the one who theorized the circuit was a character from a crossover comic series that I saw in disney adventures. Wondering if there will be more references to him in the series
I’m sure they’ve thought about a full Darkwing spinoff and maybe even pitched one. I assume we won’t as such a spin-off would divide the ducktales crew. I’d say that if Gosalyn’s grandpa isn’t returned by the end of the show we’ll have a sequel series focusing on darkwing, that feels more plausible to me.
yeah, i thought this episode was a wonderful tribute to the darkwing duck series, it had everything fans could ask for. all the references were spot on. i liked how the darkwing duck characters were upgraded for this new series, but still recognizable. i loved the dynamic that formed between the 3 main characters drake, launchpad and gosayln. i liked this episode had some heat felt moments too with these characters which shows the people working on this are more invested in developing these characters besides just flat 2 dimensional archetypes.
Did Gosalyn's new look remind anyone else of Batgril/Barbara Gordon in the Lego Batman Movie?
It’s over holy cow! That was a very lovely review I loved the insight you provided on this phenomenal episode.
I hope Drake Mallard remains an actor, in the original show it never explained where his income came from
Days? that is my only question how long has this episode taken place along a week, two days, a month?
Incredible breakdown bro, I love DW and I can tell the passion you have for this, subscribed
I haven’t really seen anyone talk about this but the idea that all pieces of fiction are really just windows into other dimensions was explored in the original Darkwing Duck. In the episode Twitching Channels Megavolt and DW are transported to our world where their life is a show! The reason their life is a show in that world is because the “writer” has a helmet that allows him to see their dimension. I thought that was a cool reference they made in the special.
Wow! You went straight to work on this reflection. Nice job!
I for one think that a spin-off could be in the works, depending on how many people watched this and how many people were into it. If there is no spin-off, hopefully, we will see more of Darkwing in the future episodes. Only time will tell.
Had a missed opportunity to put masked mallard returns. A play on dark knight returns
I've always thought Tad Stones' stance, that DuckTales and Darkwing Duck weren't really connected, was odd. In the very first episode of Darkwing Duck that Gizmoduck appears in, he also appears as Fenton, and Launchpad states when introducing Fenton to Drake: "We used to work for the same guy." Not to mention that Gizmoduck is repeatedly referred to throughout the series as the hero of Duckburg. It's obvious that events extremely similar to DuckTales have clearly taken place (if not just the actual events themselves as seen in DuckTales), so at that point, why say they're not connected?
Disney please make a dark wing duck reboot
I never thought they'd EVER do a reference to the FLUPPY DOGS! My inner child can die happy now.
They referenced freakin' Jambalaya Jake. Never thought I'd see the day. Now they gotta do Comet Guy and I'll officially be floored.
Surprised they didn’t include cameos from the actors who played the villains in the original Darkwing show. (The fictitious one.) Would have been hilarious if the real villains ran into the old timers who once acted as them!
I just watched the special on TH-cam, before I saw this. It was Dsiney XD's channel. So it was cool to see this with the episode fresh in my mind. I enjoyed hearing your review, once again
I loved this episode, just have one minor problem: Scrooge explicitly knows that FOWL is on the move.
I feel like it would have been much more interesting for the triplets to tell him off screen and the next episode he is overboard paranoid with this information and Beakley actually following him in his paranoia. But other than that, definitely one of my favorite episodes of the reboot
I really freaking hope theres a Darkwing Spin off
seems like to me that disney learning from the marvel MCU and the marvel comics and into the spiderverse are basically adapting ducktales into a D.A.U. (disney animated universe)
and i am oddly ok with that
I truly wish Disney would revive Darkwing Duck in the style of the DuckTales ReBoot with Darkwing Duck Launchpad and Gosslin to fight crime and go on excellent crime fighting adventures with some cameos of characters within the DuckTales ReBoot
The only part I didn't like was how often they said "Let's get dangerous", if I had it my way it would have been used 2 times at most; when DW takes down Bulba and when Gosslyn decides to go with Launchpad to save Darkwing.
I really thought if someone was going to betray F.O.W.L it would be Gandra Dee(Gandra and Fentin Forever). I really liked Taurus Bulba being voiced by the same person who plays Lance in tangled the series. I love Louie's in this episode, his answers to questions, saying he wants infinite gold and Heuie ruining it, and saying he has tried to pick the lock of the bin is hilarious. I liked the way they found out about F.O.W.L but they could have done it a little better. Also Bradford should have used a different example than the moonvashion when saying what their advenchers bring because as we learned Lunariuse planed that way before so that one wasn't there fault.
And then the weird thing is scrooge McDuck doesn’t know darkwing duck again what’s up with you Scrooge McDuck we thought you even know Darkwing duck did the script writers forget that detail or scrooge McDuck forgot about that in the end of season 2
This was the one episode I missed and didn't catch up on leading to the finale so I missed the whole plot about the machine Bradford reverse engineered to get rid of the Duck family and anything adventurous
How could you miss the BIG Darkwing Special and still keep up with the regular Ducktales episodes? I can just imagine your confusion on the family learning about FOWL in the Impossibin episode 😂😂
I love how the new voice of DW is similar and different it key ways
Me noticing that the video is 20 minutes and 20 seconds long: nice
If only the episode had Webby...then again she would've solo'd the supervillains 😂
Honestly, I didn't like it very much. My issue here is that the relationship between this version of Darkwing and Gosalyn just didn't feel very satisfying. I know it's hard to measure up and all, but the father-daughter relationship between DW and Gosalyn in the original series was, at times at least, one of the most mindbogglingly wholesome things I've ever seen. The Pilot of the series especially did a very good job in setting up the dynamic and helping the audience fall in love with the characters. There were no complex subplots, and even the primary setup was fairly simple. But by keeping it simple, they gave themselves time to show Darkwing becoming a father, and it wasn't until that happened that he really became a heroic character.
Let's Get Dangerous however really lets itself get bogged down in its subplots. It really does feel like the show didn't give the characters enough time to really develop in the way they're supposed to. Plus, if I'm being honest here, I really didn't agree with the direction they chose for the new Gosalyn. I get the impression here that they were terrified of the thought of just letting Gosalyn be a normal kid. I mean seriously, the new Gosalyn was easily more talented than Darkwing, and that undermined a lot of the shows attempts at establishing him as a parental figure.
In short, it kinda ended up having a lot of the same flaws plaguing Duck Tales 2017 as a whole. The nostalgia is great, and there are some really clever or well written moments. But it kinda lets itself get undermined by busy overcomplicated setups or writing that tries a little too hard to be "modern year."
But eh, I kinda knew I wasn't going to find something that recaptured the childhood magic of the original show. So I can't bring myself to actually get too upset on this front.
It's in Disney's hands whether there will be a new Darkwing Duck series. This episode was the perfect setup for it. DuckTales producers seem to want it to happen, but Disney has to give the green
green light. My guess is it will happen, but there's no guarantee. Covid has put a hurting on business so even though a new Darkwing Duck show has a ton of support Disney may pass on it or put it on the backburner.
No mention of how Beetroot was a zombie because his voice actor died in 2017?
Also, if I have a gripe about this episode, is that the DW villains don't do much and don't really act as characters. For some reason, they act like lackies to Bulba and while they have a line or two, you can definitely tell the VA's aged and weren't allowed to do much. Which is odd because Megavolt was an egocentric ass who could never team up for very long due to that ego. He always wanted to be the leader, call the shots and sabotage any team up efforts with his latest gadget.
Also, Scrooge and the others were also sidelined pretty heavily. I get it, we can't have him solve the matter for Darkwing but, I kind of feel like they resorted to dumbing down the heroes so that the cameo character can shine. They didn't technically do that, the characters are still smart and I loved how Scrooge believed in Huey when classic Scrooge wouldn't have, but he does feel leashed.
Also, where the fuck is our universe's Negaduck???? This seemed like the best episode for him to show up and act as a twist Villain but he's not even referenced in this episode. 😿
Crackerjack was the only one to actually have his original voice actor in this episode.
Frank Angones stated that probably besides that, that he also wanted to play around with the idea of making Bushroot an expy of Swamp Thing, a monster believing to be a man (duck in this case).
And also said that Negaduck deserves his own episode but that he won't appear in this season.
I think you mean Bushroot.
@@NihilusShadow Quackerjack
I have to wonder if this could lead to an official Disney Duck version of Turtles forever.
A SEAMONSTER ATE MY ICE CREAM!?
I hope we get an episode where Goslyn meets Webby.
Yes!!! Crossbow girls!!
While I really loved the episode, I'm not sure how I feel about Goselynn. I always thought that the new Webby drew inspiration from the original Goselynn (the super competent and enthusiastic athlete vibe). The problem now with new Goselynn is that she feels like a fusion between Webby and Lena. We already have a super competent athlete and a more moody character, so she doesn't feel that new to me. Hopefully if she shows up more, we'll get to see more of her personality than just her reasonable emotions about her grandfather. Don't get me wrong, she's very sympathetic and I very much want to like her, but she doesn't feel distinct. And in a show that's full of diverse and distinct characters, I think this shows more prominently with her. Maybe that's just me.
The darkwing duck episode was amazing i made sure to buy it on iTunes I think everyone should to make sure it’s a tv show
Overall I was impressed by this special in terms of handling all the characters and their various dynamics. That said it fell slightly short of being what I wanted and the reason is one world, Goslin.
To say that the heart of the original Darkwing Duck show was the loving familial bond between Drake/Darkwing and Goslin would be an understatement. Before watching this special I re-watched the original pilot form the old show, Darkly Dawns the Duck (also watching the opening scene on youtube that was cur from the syndicated version and the idiots at Disney left out of the DVD release) so I could make a comparison.
The first issue I have is that the writers of the new show decided to make Goslin around the same age as the triplets. which given the amount of time that has passed since the start of the reboot would put them between 11 and 12 while the original Goslin was 9. I understand the motivation for that, as they wanted the character to be more independent and pro-active without her coming across as precocious. The problem is by making her older she more emotionally mature and independent and so is not going to form the deeper kind of emotional bound the original Goslin did. This is further aggravated by her Grandfather not not being dead like in the original with a vague possibility of finding him one day which will also act as a break on her developing family relationship with DW with him at most being more like a Foster parent than them developing a real farther daughter relationship.
The season issue is personality, the new Goslin, to me, felt kinda bland without much opptunity for a defined personality to come across. Again, contrast with the original and it's almost shocking just how layered a character she came across as in the old pilot. Not to mention the original Goslin's dry, sarcastic, lines are in my view the source of the best comedic moments in the pilot given how much of the over the top slapstick fall flat for me (no pun intended. ;P ) In the new shows defense they had a LOT to cram into this special so I'm open to seeing Goslin show more of a personality in a potential spin off.
Still a great special I really enjoyed, a solid 8/10, but it was noticeable how, for a show that took fairly one-dimensional characters from the 80's Ducktales show and fleshed them out, it seemed to me that the opposite took place with regards to Goslin.
good point im reviewing the special today im rewatching it a few times to get as much detail as possible
No one gonna talk about Bonkers cameo?
i wanted a after credit scene with nega duck recruiting his just us justice duck make that off hand comment come full circle
I Absolutely Loved This Episode!!!!
It Was So Good! If We Don't Get A Spinoff, I'll Be Shocked
Edit:Gosalyn Was Amazing
That Is All
Edit 2: 13:21
Best Moment Of The Whole Thing
Love It
I believe that if they were going to do a Darkwing Duck spinoff it would have been better if Darkwing and Gosselin got sucked into the ramrod and into the Darkwing duck dimension
Ducktales: Endgame
Like most people, I wished we heard the darkwing theme, but my other gripe is that it really seems like they really wanted to make gosayln say dad when she yells at Drake. Feel like they saving her calling drake dad for like a darkwing duck season finale. Just me tho... I WANT THE SPINOFF PLEASE!!!!
I saw this thing as soon as it came out. This format could be used for a Ducktales movie!
I loved this new duck tales, heck, I’m sure I like this better than the old one, but the Darkwing Duck homage in my opinion, has fallen flat. I liked the TV show idea, but the decision to expand it to a thing in their world hasn’t cut it for me. Happy to hear Michael Bell as quackerjack though
Hmm.... they better not recon the father daughter relationship of drake and Gosalyn....
Unless they decide to take it slow until Gosalyn sees Darkwing as her father.
I once read somewhere launchpad i the original was fired so he went to DW's home
Am I the only one confused by the Zombie like version of Bush Root?
I personally like how Duckburg and St Canard are just a short drive away from each other (St Canard is close enough for Harpies to carry Lemons over to Duckburg) so Launchpad could feasibly drive back and forth
Think how much lore it took to get him to a point where we barely question him doing so whilst asleep.
@@tyrant-den884 I don't think anyone would notice either way.
wow love how ducktales thinks 25 steps ahead
Actually it was Cape Suzette that the Harpies carry lemons over to.
@@Kelaiah01 That's right, but St Canard still seems to be somewhat close, due to Gizmoduck being able to quickly get there to help cut the vines on that bridge
Disney has made the Darkwing special available for free on TH-cam as well as their app. They are AGGRESSIVELY pushing this episode as a must-watch. The last time they did this was with the first episode of Ducktales three years ago. I'm convinced it's a back-door pilot
They only made it free in America
Thank you so much for letting us know. I just got done watching it and I would LOVE to see a new Darkwing series in this universe. The fact that Darkwing and Ducktales would actually exist and share a universe along with the Rescue Rangers would open up all types of crossover opportunities.
They also did this with The Owl House's pilot this past year, so I think you're onto something
@ArtsyDucks i noticed that. They've been hyping this special up and for the first time in awhile, the hype is truly real. It was not a let down
@ArtsyDucks It's a smart business move in this day and age. Nowadays it will be hard to get the attention from kids if it isn't easily accessible on popular platforms, which is at the end of the day Disney's target demographic here. Kids do not actively tune in to watch shows on TV like the kids born before the early 2000s, so if you want to reach out to the newer generations you need to be where they like to spend their time; i.e. TH-cam.
I think there are multiple factors as to why this episode got this treatment besides it being a backdoor pilot for a new Darkwing Duck show:
1) DuckTales 2017 is old news by now (it's already been 3 years since it launched). If they want more people interested in DuckTales again Disney need to promote it.
2) This episode has significantly more effort put into it than the other ones, so if you want to promote the show, you had better put your best foot forward.
3) Since this episode also functions as a progression of the overall season 3 story arc, it is a way to get people invested before the finale, thus boosting the overall viewer numbers before that finale arrives.
4) The reboot is very obviously trying to establish an expanded universe version of their old properties to replicate the success of the Marvel Universe on the big screen. If DuckTales is successful, then it stands to reason that Darkwing Duck as well as other Disney Afternoon franchises can get rebooted successfully. More shows -> more viewers -> more money in the long run.
I hope the episode becomes a smash hit, since the people behind the reboot have honestly done a really good job at making DuckTales 2017 a worthy successor to the 80s series. Can't wait for more. :)
"A SEA MONSTER ATE MY ICE CREAM!"
First of all: Seriously one of the best out of context gags in classic Ducktales!
Second of all: CLASSIC DUCKTALES! CLASSIC DUCKTALES IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!
I laughed so hard when that part played. So many amazing nods to the original. I was worried at first, but not anymore.
1. Man, it’s like they’re taking cues from Arrowverse
2. I can just imagine the older viewers getting the joke while the newbies just think of it like a random thing
"WHY WERE OUR HEADS SO ROUND?"
Does this mean we have a Duck tales generations on the way?
@@kirara2516 ....why were you "worried"? What, other than completely unfounded cynicism would have ever made you think THAT?
My only gripe was it should've been longer.
There was a LOT story to tell here and they only had a little under 50 minutes to tell it all. With that said - PLEASE LET THIS LEAD INTO A DARKWING DUCK SPIN-OFF! PLEEAAASSSSE!!
I'm all for a spin-off. Also be cool to see all of Darkwing's old enemies redone in this universe over the old tv show versions.
Yeah, it honestly could have done with more Darkwing vs villains scenes, for example the drenching Darkwing got was a fight that happened entirely off screen.
I personally wouldn't want a spin off. I used to be on board with a whole afternoon-iverse, but I kinda like the idea of characters just coming up in specials like this. Making a darkwing show would take from ducktales and weaken it
As much as everyone wants a spin off, I'd much rather have them interconnected. And if there were to be a spin off I'd prefer having the ducktales characters show up for the overarching plot main plot even if most episodes are focused on darkwing. I think that's definitely doable by the showrunners with how things are set up, however, one show would be on hiatus every season.
Edit: also if ducktales ends the story continues through darkwing.
I will riot if it doesn’t happen.
I just love how they got David Tennant to say " A Sea Monster Ate My Ice Cream!"
True insted of a achived audio of Alan young .
Yes
What is that a reference to?
Wonder if he was hoping to say that.
@@kbtvstudios9528 A scene in the original ducktales
Episodes like this one is the biggest reason why I love the DuckTales reboot. You can tell that the crew behind this show really care for these characters, telling great stories while paying a loving tribute to the Disney Afternoon. The show could have easily trip in its execution and I'm glad that it didn't. I was hooked since season 1 and I'm glad for sticking with the show so far.
I really do hope this serves as a pilot. Though I'd also be okay with a spin-off show that cycles between the reimagined DA characters that leads to big crossover finales.
Anyway one of my favorite lines from this episode was when Scrooge said he trusted Huey's instincts. Shows how much he's grown and that he really respects the kid's input even if he isn't always obvious about it while trying to be a good parent.
They talked about in several interviews how there is a reason they are introducing these classic Disney shows into the show.
@@jeanlikesart376 they’re probably gonna bring all of them back in the series finale
I didn't get the whole "darkwing hasn't slept in days" thing. I thought this episode took place over just one night. I didn't notice any day/night transitions, or any other characters resting.
Kind of wish they give some indication for that.
@@Jack75188 yeah. Its a sweet sentiment but through the context of the episode he's only known Goslin a few hours. Showing them fight liquidator and Darkwing getting physically exhausted from all the fighting but playing it off for Goslin might have been better. Then she'd still be justified for pushing him so hard since he seems fine, and he'd have a solid reason for wanting to stop and come up with a plan instead of just rushing into fight after fight.
The break between the half-hours of the special is supposed to be a timeskip, but they admittedly didn't do that good a job of indicating it.
@@chrisossu2070 they could have just said "a few days later" for us to understand it
@@chrisossu2070 I did not know that.. im guessing u mean at the 22 minute mark. (I watched it on youtube) he summons the villains then they're attacking the city and it's on the news. It seems more like a timeskip of hours rather than days. How could u even tell?
Scrooge: Ya know, growing up, Darkwing Duck was my hero.
Drake: Really?
Scrooge: Ach, no...couldn't stand the show. The twins used to like it though.
Yet - what DOES Quackeroonie mean, anyway?
context? ;w; i dont understand what does Quackeroonie mean?
@@waterlily7075 Quackeroonie was a catch phrase of the triplets in the original Ducktales. When they got out of that dimension in this episode and are talking over each other, you hear one of them say "what does Quackeroonie mean, anyway?" so I assume being in that dimension must have effected them just as much as Scrooge going on about a sea monster eating his ice cream.
Is that a real quote
@@kenetabansi5016 If you mean my vignette, no. It's a parody of the closing scene of the Batman TAS episode, 'Beware The Gray Ghost', wherein Adam West voices Bruce's TV childhood hero. I just used Scrooge here because he, not Fanboy Launchpad, is the billionaire adventurer. 'Quackeroonie' or sometimes 'Quackeroo' (I remember both from my college-age viewing) was a catchphrase on the original Ducktales, which it was implied the four got cast into, however peripherally. I'm guessing that the loss of Alan Young and Russi Taylor, among others, has killed the idea of a true xover, though Turtles 2012 had Kevin Michael Richardson doing a great job on both the 2012 and 1987 Shredders, so maybe David Tennant could ask Matt Smith to give it a go for 1987 Scrooge? Just wishing.
BTW, one of the other best lines?: "What, did you want an un-marked helicopter?"
@@EditDeath I loved how one of the triplets asked "Why were our heads so round?!"
I squealed twice, when Scrooge said, “ a sea monster ate my ice cream” as I still occasionally say that, and seeing Fluppies. I’m 44 and I squealed.
As a 90s kid, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the Bonkers cameo. Also I remember Fluppie dogs.
I busted out laughing when that part played. I forgot how random and hilarious that part was.
@@trika91 Bonkers has a special place in my heart ☺️ love that guy
The Fearsome Four got sucked through the dimensional portal at the end, but I was thinking the whole time; I bet in the closing minutes they'll be locked up in a secure prison only to have their leader from The Fearsome Five (Negaduck) bust in to let them out! Too bad that didn't happen...
Still enjoyed it though!
Here’s a theory: When the Darkwing Duck show starts, Negaduck will break Taurus out of jail, to get the Ramrod plans. Then, he will get the Fearsome Four back, and create the Fearsome Five. It’ll also have a reference to that scene in the original where the Fearsome Four asks why Negaduck is in charge. Cue chainsaw.
Negaduck is still going to show up (at least I hope so).
Wasn't Negaduck like a mad genius? He'll probably end up recreating those villains in his own way if he really has to.
I'm so ready for them to follow up on the Negaduck reveal from last season.
@@spectralight8412 There is an episode in season 2 you need to watch.
To be honest, this episode make me realise, that Jim's Darkwing Duck show must been a lot more action oriented, and I dere to say without a heart that make me enjoy it. Sice a lot of it comes from original Drake personality and relations with his daughter and LP. Even his beakerings with neighbors, fact that Megawolt was his old classmate, or how he was jealous of Gizmoduck.
*nevermind*
@Coconut Pal yeah, I just started rewatching it. I forgot that part in the beginning.
Yeah, in retrospective it might not have been that good and a little generic if it's just 100% Darkwing superhero antics. Having a lead actor who insists on doing his own stunts and refuses to do second takes might have hurt the show's quality too.
At the end of this episode, Gizmoduck fights off, and clears the roads of the giant vines, and the people chant "Gizmoduck just saved St. Canard!" That's probably going to sow the seeds for Darkwing's rivalry later on.
impressed you stayed up to make this, be sure you get some rest man!
Oh man I am going to bed so hard in like ten minutes!
@@seaniccus I can't wait for the season 3 Christmas special ''Santa steals christmas.'
Also, they reference the OG tv show with a menton of episode 3 and episode 21 'Just us Justice ducks'. They also even reference the rivalry between Gizmoduck and Darkwing duck.
@@seaniccus Was this a special review or will future episode reviews come hours after they air?
@@rajnadar6555 Most episodes I can't do this for, since they premiere on work days -- but I actually took a day off work to pull this off.
Seaniccus hope your boss is okay with it....
I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the leaky faucet that always erks at you hoping it’ll stop dripping. I am Darkwing Duck!
I am the terror that flaps in the night. It doesn't matter what I write here, Jim will ad lib something better. I am Darkwing Duck!
