I actually really like that Della’s a parent AND a character. A lot of cartoons have the parents revolve around their children with not much else to their personalities. They’re only friends with other parents and any talk of their past has to be about how they met the other parent and had their children. Della is NOT a perfect parent, but that’s why she’s 10x more entertaining than the bland “inspirational parents” that just spew out quirky metaphors and exist to shower their children in love.
yep, too many parent characters in media put emphasis on parent and not on character. They usually have all the parent tropes attached to them, whereas Della kinda flips them on their head because she doesn't know HOW to be a parent, and her character arc is learning how to be one. It's so fascinating to see her growth and even when she's a great mom later, she's still a character first and foremost and not a tropey parent :P
@@yuppers4460 Those are other parent characters done right. They do still feel like they're parents first sometimes (or at least Nicole does), but that's usually more of the episode's fault, not the characters'.
@@santosic Donald and Scrooge were also technically parent characters, but they had the advantage of having personalities predeternined by their powerful presence in past pop culture (accidental alliteration there!), which the writers were able to meld with their new roles in this show. Della, on the other hand, was a basically unknown character, having only appeared in 2-3 comics in the past (which is where the concept for her leaving her boys to go to the moon came from, albeit as a less affectionate character), so the writers had to basically build her character from scratch from the small roots and circumstances they had, leaving her more susceptible to that parent character cliche, and I will forever be grateful that they managed not to bring her to that.

They did Della so absolutely perfect. She started as a mom full of enthusiasm, but with zero experience. So she made a bunch of mistakes, and then made some more. But she learned from that and slowly became an amazing mother. 10/10 show.

Della WANTS to be a mom-a single mom by choice vs a “happy accident” from a one-night stand or failed relationship. She’s still DELLA vs “Mom is my personality” that female characters and IRL women get stigmatized as whether or not they choose motherhood or want motherhood. She seriously screws up, but she also spends over a decade trying to fix it then when she finally does make it back home, she puts in the effort to not only connect with her kids but learns how to be the adult they need-grounding Louie then promising to help him think things through and embracing his talents, vs the understandable but misguided cake to win them over with gifts. I love that she “keeps herself” and that she wants motherhood for herself and doesn’t have to “choose between the two” -men just never have that pushed on them, while women are told you can “only” be a Mother OR a Career Woman (never both and “your poor husband and children~” if there’s a “role reversal” or she tries to “be both Roles”) And until the fandom’s ready to grill Scrooge half as hard as they do Della, and stop going on about “who’s the daddy??/bAD mOTHER~” they...can kindly go piss off :’)

I love how Della has traits of all her family members. She uses everyone's catchphrases at some point, she has similar behaviors, and all around it's easy to tell she's a part of the Duck family.
@@JETS5 And when she tried to figure out how to introduce to her family, when she came back, she tried 3 different introductions. All 3 were the way each one of the triplets would have used to introduce themselves.
right and why are people upset she grounded Louie. he almost ended the world with that time tub. bad kids get punished. It's called discipline. it's not supposed to be fun
Ducktales Reboot is simply the best. 1. Huey, Dewey, and Louie have different personalities. 2. The Triplet's Mother being a carefree parent. 3. Webby's Grandmother is a super strong spy. 4. Their are many crossovers like Goofy, Tiny Mouse, and others. 5. The family has some character development.
Nah, it was pretty inaccurate to the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics on which it's supposed to be based as well as the original Ducktales. It made the wrong characters OP.
@@ThePaganSun that’s kinda the point, the show needed the triplets to get some unique personalities, the lack of individuality was bound to get stale at some point. Besides, the show can’t just do the same stuff over and over again, it has to stand out while still being recognizably DuckTales, I would say they did that pretty well
@@cantthinkofaname5046 I don't think so. The original point of them was to be identical. A previous series "Quack Pack" also gave the triplets different looks and personalities and it didn't really do them justice (there were some other things wrong with the show but that's beside the point). Plus, them getting "different personalities" boxed them in. Now Huey is just the smart guy, Dewey is just gutsy and Louie is just greedy and lazy. The triplets' classic personalities let them do pretty much anything. And if they're changed too much, they're not really the same characters. Same thing with the others. But as annoying as the triplets' change was, that was far from my biggest issue with with the show...which was how they essentially sidelined Donald in a series inspired by the source material of _his_ adventures and then had the gall to elevate a semi newbie like Webby over the actual canon character who's the reason for all of Duckburg and _Scrooge McDuck himself_ to even exist. They let a newbie hijack _his_ abilities, adventures, and even _family_ and gave her credit that should've been _his._ Webby never went on the Carl Barks and Don Rosa adventures (the source material that inspired both Ducktales), nor is she canonically related to Scrooge. But Donald and HDL _are_ and they were sidelined for her who never actually did the things she's credited for here. And that's just unacceptable to me. One doesn't just elevate newbies above the actual canon characters. Newbies should fit into the canon, we don't change canon to fit the newbie. So no. DT17 _didn't_ do it well. They disrespected Donald and honored a semi newbie character that didn't deserve it over the one that actually did.
@@ThePaganSun Dude, it’s a different take on the universe, they aren’t supposed to be the same thing. Just enjoy it for being a good reboot and the most original reboot
@@MetroGexual mhm the point of a reboot is literally to be similar, but different (plus making the boys unique made them make a really good team, but also made things go wrong when they weren't working together, which fit really well with the family and teamwork message of the show)
I really hate it, when other people hate characters for their mistakes in the past. I hate it when they say, that Della doesn't love Louie as much as she loves her other sons, just because she grounded him once. I really hate it when they say, Della isn't a good parent, just because she made the mistake of her life in her *past* Because all I can see in this video, is a lovely, a little bit unsure mom, who's trying her best to be the best parent she could. She's bonding with her boys, she's supporting them and she is trying to make her kids happy. Even Della isn't the most responsible person, she is still a good mom. That is was really matters and not the dumb things in her past. Cause even on the moon, all she was doing, was to regret every step she made into the rocket, thinking about her boys and her family and trying to get back. You can hate the actions of a character, but not the character themself for their actions. You can still hate her... But please don't hate her for her mistakes *in the past* and stop saying she is a bad parent or doesn't love Louie. Thank you!
She already IS a permanent character, she's was an old character that was never really used for years until now. Disney has a boatload of original characters in Mickey's Universe that are either retired or not being used for some reason. Oswald and Della are just the tip of the iceberg.
I was sold on Della ever since seeing all she went through on the moon. She wants to be a good mom so bad, makes mistakes in the process, and tries to do better. And she is always hilarious
"Oh boy now there's two of them." "Pretty sure we stuffed him in the garage...." "If you do that last part exactly right you won't die!" "Scrooge won't even let me touch the Toaster!" "Hey cool a dead guy!" "If you're gonna let the caveduck ride a skateboard in the house you should make him wear a helmet!" God I'm gonna miss this show dearly.
I love Della so much. I expected her to be the perfect over the top caring mom that died (for pretty much every main protagonist that has a dead mom), but no. She came back and is careless yet caring as ever. She’s an inexperienced mom that’s trying her best, but does not have any parental experience whatsoever. She was a pleasant surprise and one of the funniest characters on the show.
She’s a great mom. She has flaws but she tries to be a role model for her sons. She’s supportive and isn’t like any other parents we would see at a kids’ show. She spent years on the moon alone and during that time, she tried to fix her ship to go home. If you think she’s horrible at parenting then keep it to yourself.
@@ceecee6521 I’m pretty sure people started saying that when she grounded Louie, like no she just grounded her son because he almost broke all of time and his family in the process? So she wanted to stop him from doing what she did before he got too carried away
@@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 loving your kids doesn't make them a good parent either being a parent means past down your knowledge and skill and teaching form right form wrong thats a good parent she acts like a fun friend then actual parent except when she was teach one of the boys to polite and grounding the green witch didn't last
dewey: Cloud kicking is so much better then piloting. Della's mind: I would strangle you but I love you so I'm going to try to be happy for you ya lil-
Dewey: I haven’t seen fizzy rocks in so long! Webby: That’s because of all the lawsuits that were saying they were unsafe to eat! Huey: EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT
In Della's defense? She never actually WAS a parent until she got back from being stranded on the moon. She had three eggs when she was stranded and eggs are suprisingly easy to care for and parent. She had literally no experience or skill at it, and was going straight from never having been a parent in her life to having THREE KIDS. She went from 0 to 500 in one step. The fact she managed at ALL is actually pretty impressive. The fact that she actually learned, adapted, and BECAME good at it in the end is downright LEGENDARY. The majority of LIFELONG parents never fully get good at it!
It's really sweet how Della immediately trusted Dewey with the Cloudslayer. Even when he crashed, she praised him. And yeah, she's right! His first try and he was already doing amazing. I know a lot of kids Dewey's age would have IMMEDIATELY crashed, or gotten confused. Della is a GREAT mom, and I don't care what anyone says
That being said, putting an eleven-year-old in charge of flying is a very, VERY bad idea. She gets points for being encouraging and supportive, but she's _really_ got to work on the whole "reckless endangerment" thing. Then again, Scrooge (and even Donald, on occasion) is also guilty of that so I dunno.
I love how true this show was to everyone's characters, especially Della. I mean, how in the world would someone with her background deal with suddenly having to be a real parent to her three boys, after a decade of imagining how it would be? Dell's life had always been one of extremes, so when she finally gets to be a mom, she goes to every extreme trying to make it work. Her emotions are in a frenzy when she comes back. Dealing with excitement, fear, small amount of guilt over leaving in the first place, and that plays off of the boys' emotions as well, since they have a lot of feeling, most of which as kids they have no idea how to deal with anyway. Her character arc revolves around finding a balance between supporting her kids in whatever they want to do, and holding then back from things that could hurt them, physically or emotionally. For me, the moment Della finally broke through the barrier and realised what it takes to be a parent came when she finally grounded Louie. A kid has to learn consequences someday, much better for them to learn while they are young and will be safe. Children who get away with everything grow up to become horrible people, and in this case, they make decisions that could get themselves or other people killed. Della finally realized that to be a parent sometimes means doing things you don't want to do, and her reaction afterward saying it was the hardest thing she'd ever had to do proves that she's finally achieved the balance. And afterwards she becomes a better mom to all of them, but still remains true to her character, being chaotic and letting them do things that had she thought about them for a few seconds she might decide "mmmmaybe not". She still makes mistakes, but she always tries. And the kids start to respect her as an authority figure in their lives, like when Dewey asked her permission to go ride the carnival wheel. Its the small details that make this show so great. So yeah, Della is one of the best animated characters ever, and Paget Brewster was born to play that role. I love all of the characters, but for me, Della Duck achieved character growth that I never could have expected from this show.
I also like the moment she said to... Dewey I think? he doesn't have to prove her anything for her to love him in the episode with all the seeds of the world store in one place.
Also that speech she gave Scrooge in "New Gods on The Block". Not my favourite episode but one of my favourite Della moments in the season, if not the whole show.
The inclusion and fleshing out of Della Duck, one of the most neglected characters even by Carl Barks' standards, was probably one of the boldest and smartest things 2017 DuckTales did in a long list of bold/smart decisions. It's one of the many reasons why even I, someone who grew up reading Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics by Carl Barks and loved the 1987 DuckTales, consider it to be better than even the 1987 original. Plus, Paget Brewster's voice and performance is a real Dellacasy, no pun intended.
I will forever respect the team behind this show for writing three characters that happen to be triplets and another character that happens to be their mother. None of them revolve around their role. And it's beautiful.
I love her. I was excited that Della was going to be part of the show by the end of the season 1 premiere, and I only wish we'd had a fourth season to get more time with her and the other characters who were introduced later on in the series.
I love how they dont make her a perfect mom shes not a bad mom by any means but shes new to it and her boys are already kids not babies anymore so it makes sense thats shes not good at like how most moms in cartoons are perfect at being moms while della is not she tries and loves her kids more then anything but she has no idea what shes doing but shes still a good mom shes just new at it
Ikr. There's this weird misconception that comeuppance for a characters wrongdoings HAS to come from the people they've wronged. They don't see that Della being stranded on the moon for a decade and regretting her actions every day IS her punishment.
4:52 I remember there was a great subtle moment here. While Dewey is looking at the video on his phone, Della rubs his head. It's the little gestures that matter too.
1:07 Della: The place: El Dorado, The time: When I was your age. The legend: The horror known as the Gilded Man. The Aztec android was meant to protect the people, but he blew a fuse and mangled them instead. Metal gnawed through flesh, leaving a trail of bodies until the gold city was stained blood red. I grabbed a wrench, crawled inside the gold-minted monster, hacked away at his clockwork innards, tearing him apart from the inside, piece-by-piece with reckless abandon! Wham! He let out a ghastly rusted shriek! Until, finally, his gory gears turned their last. Some say that was a death knell. Others say it was a promise; To rebuild and seek vengeance on the one who defeated him and her family! Pretty sure we stuffed him in the garage. Well, goodnight!
Della is actually pretty much what got me into DuckTales, watching the show whenever it was just on tv and being like "huh she's stuck on the moon I wonder how" and it binge watched the entire show in 3 days. I just love everything about Della, even though she's not perfect she's learning and I'm very salty we didn't have more episodes with her. I'm just salty we didn't have more episodes in general.
1:07 Love this story, ngl. Wish they ended it without the comedic change to funny to keep the drama, but I get that it's a comedy, therefore it isn't supposed to be as dramatic at every point. 4:14 Best moment in the whole show and you can't change my mind
I found a "KH" fic in which Aqua and Della are a ship and couple. Yes, I'm gonna leave this here. I'm sadistic and like to see people horrified. Plus, people ship Cortana and Master Chief. Don't see why not ship a human and an antromorphic duck.
Della - "Now, it is my honor to present to you a true Della-cacy..." Dewey - "How does she Dewey it?" Louie - "Oh boy, now there's two of them." Me - I feel his pain. There's someone in my family that does it all the time, and I see her every day.
i love how after coming into the narrative she really needs to grow into the good mom she becomes by the end of the series. The quintessential “she’s a little confused but she’s got the spirit” energy. I also love that she’s met with resistance in the family, having to find a place for herself again after everyone went on without her for so long, especially when it comes to her kids and their differing attitudes towards her. ARGH i could seriously go on for ages!! she’s seriously gotta be one of the best examples of a well written parent in fiction. I absolutely adore what they did with her, no notes, 10/10, fucking golden.
I miss this show already. I really wish they had given us another season , but I guess it's better to go out as an amazing show then become old and stale... but still...
1 extra season to expand more on maybe the moonlanders and dark wing duck (I'm on episode 11 season 3 btw) maybe another visit to castle mcduck? Season 4 could've had the big fowl fight thing. I feel like 4 seasons would be enough edit: i finished the show and they didnt touch on jim starling when he was in the sewers
I wish we get 4th season to explore Coot's side of the duck family. They're the descendants of duckburg's founder after all. Also explore May and June characters and how they will adopted by Daisy.
“It is my honor to present you with a true *Dellacasy!”*
“How does she *Dewey* it?!”
“Oh boy. Now there’s two of them...”
This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!
Dewey: That's wondellaful...
HOLY!
BEHOLD
Oh *duck*- AH WAIT-

Della is definitely the "cool mom" archetype, I love her character.
She acts more like a older sibling
@@sammyjaohnson5631 Yep, that's her character and arc in general

i dont get how people say della is a horrible mom
della has been separated from her children for years right? so shes kinda new to this
right and why are people upset she grounded Louie. he almost ended the world with that time tub. bad kids get punished. It's called discipline. it's not supposed to be fun
@@jackfrost7819 ya
And people were angry at her bc she used the deadly robot thing to watch louie
She didn't even knew it was deadly??-

Ducktales Reboot is simply the best.
1. Huey, Dewey, and Louie have different personalities.
2. The Triplet's Mother being a carefree parent.
3. Webby's Grandmother is a super strong spy.
4. Their are many crossovers like Goofy, Tiny Mouse, and others.
5. The family has some character development.
Nah, it was pretty inaccurate to the Carl Barks and Don Rosa comics on which it's supposed to be based as well as the original Ducktales. It made the wrong characters OP.
@@ThePaganSun that’s kinda the point, the show needed the triplets to get some unique personalities, the lack of individuality was bound to get stale at some point. Besides, the show can’t just do the same stuff over and over again, it has to stand out while still being recognizably DuckTales, I would say they did that pretty well
@@cantthinkofaname5046 I don't think so. The original point of them was to be identical. A previous series "Quack Pack" also gave the triplets different looks and personalities and it didn't really do them justice (there were some other things wrong with the show but that's beside the point).
Plus, them getting "different personalities" boxed them in. Now Huey is just the smart guy, Dewey is just gutsy and Louie is just greedy and lazy. The triplets' classic personalities let them do pretty much anything. And if they're changed too much, they're not really the same characters. Same thing with the others.
But as annoying as the triplets' change was, that was far from my biggest issue with with the show...which was how they essentially sidelined Donald in a series inspired by the source material of _his_ adventures and then had the gall to elevate a semi newbie like Webby over the actual canon character who's the reason for all of Duckburg and _Scrooge McDuck himself_ to even exist. They let a newbie hijack _his_ abilities, adventures, and even _family_ and gave her credit that should've been _his._
Webby never went on the Carl Barks and Don Rosa adventures (the source material that inspired both Ducktales), nor is she canonically related to Scrooge. But Donald and HDL _are_ and they were sidelined for her who never actually did the things she's credited for here. And that's just unacceptable to me. One doesn't just elevate newbies above the actual canon characters. Newbies should fit into the canon, we don't change canon to fit the newbie.
So no. DT17 _didn't_ do it well. They disrespected Donald and honored a semi newbie character that didn't deserve it over the one that actually did.
@@ThePaganSun Dude, it’s a different take on the universe, they aren’t supposed to be the same thing. Just enjoy it for being a good reboot and the most original reboot
@@MetroGexual mhm
the point of a reboot is literally to be similar, but different
(plus making the boys unique made them make a really good team, but also made things go wrong when they weren't working together, which fit really well with the family and teamwork message of the show)
I really hate it, when other people hate characters for their mistakes in the past.
I hate it when they say, that Della doesn't love Louie as much as she loves her other sons, just because she grounded him once.
I really hate it when they say, Della isn't a good parent, just because she made the mistake of her life in her *past*
Because all I can see in this video, is a lovely, a little bit unsure mom, who's trying her best to be the best parent she could. She's bonding with her boys, she's supporting them and she is trying to make her kids happy. Even Della isn't the most responsible person, she is still a good mom.
That is was really matters and not the dumb things in her past. Cause even on the moon, all she was doing, was to regret every step she made into the rocket, thinking about her boys and her family and trying to get back.
You can hate the actions of a character, but not the character themself for their actions.
You can still hate her... But please don't hate her for her mistakes *in the past* and stop saying she is a bad parent or doesn't love Louie.
Thank you!
Wait people were saying that? Louie nearly got the WHOLE FAMILY *KILLED*
@@David_538 Yes people are saying that :/ I love Louie, but he deserved being grounded once
Fella should have stayed with Louie when he was grounded and not make recordings of herself.
@@DrenixWarriorKnight Yeah maybe. But she didn't know it better. As I said, she is trying...
TL dr
She better become a permanent character for Disney
She already IS a permanent character, she's was an old character that was never really used for years until now. Disney has a boatload of original characters in Mickey's Universe that are either retired or not being used for some reason.
Oswald and Della are just the tip of the iceberg.
@@buddy6584 yeah! We really need Her and Oswald to appear WAAY more and often
@@buddy6584 or just are used in the comics or occasionally.
@@gracekim1998 maybe you can ask them about it.
No, I hope not. Having her around changes Donald's dynamic with the boys. Donald is the staple character, not her.

"Aw, what are they gonna find out there? A little rain? Some debris?"

I like how even Scrooge gave Della a look at that one
That cracked me up
Isn't it adorable how Della is trying to be a great mom despite barely having any parenting experience 😁
That’s actually how most parenting starts
🥲😑🤐😮💨🙁🫤😨
Support... Your... Kid...
“Oh boy now there’s two of them.” My favorite line.
5:39 the most relatable parent moment from Della I'm sure hahahaha
She did ground Louie in the middle of season 2
I was sold on Della ever since seeing all she went through on the moon. She wants to be a good mom so bad, makes mistakes in the process, and tries to do better. And she is always hilarious
Man she is great especially the whole "support your kid" line its a summary of what she does as a parent
"Oh boy now there's two of them."
"Pretty sure we stuffed him in the garage...."
"If you do that last part exactly right you won't die!"
"Scrooge won't even let me touch the Toaster!"
"Hey cool a dead guy!"
"If you're gonna let the caveduck ride a skateboard in the house you should make him wear a helmet!"
God I'm gonna miss this show dearly.

I'm reading the comments and discovering Della isn't the fandom's favorite. H O W???
People are also saying she's a bad mom like ??? She is awesome
I know right, I love Della , she a great charcter.
@Ethan Schmid I just realized how you said”For*petes* sake” which made me think of the dog thing who is always mean to Mickey Mouse
@Ethan Schmid ye IKR
Nothing can beat Donald.
"Scrooge won't even let me touch the toaster." -
Freaking killed me lol.
Where?
I love Della so much. I expected her to be the perfect over the top caring mom that died (for pretty much every main protagonist that has a dead mom), but no. She came back and is careless yet caring as ever. She’s an inexperienced mom that’s trying her best, but does not have any parental experience whatsoever. She was a pleasant surprise and one of the funniest characters on the show.
She’s a great mom. She has flaws but she tries to be a role model for her sons. She’s supportive and isn’t like any other parents we would see at a kids’ show. She spent years on the moon alone and during that time, she tried to fix her ship to go home. If you think she’s horrible at parenting then keep it to yourself.
She's trying so hard how can you not love her? XD
I love how Ducktales gave us a silly but lovable irresponsible "cool dad" archetype except that for once it's a mom.
How
How do people say she’s a horrible mom, I seriously don’t get it
Wait, people are saying that? Why?? And what are they even expecting, she was stuck on the moon ever since her kids were EGGS.
@@ceecee6521 I’m pretty sure people started saying that when she grounded Louie, like no she just grounded her son because he almost broke all of time and his family in the process? So she wanted to stop him from doing what she did before he got too carried away
She'd be a bad mom if she was abusive or never loved her kids. She was stuck on the moon for most of their lives. She's doing her best.
@@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 Exactly! And even better is that she's willing to learn from her mistakes and accept help from others on parenting.
@@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 loving your kids doesn't make them a good parent either being a parent means past down your knowledge and skill and teaching form right form wrong thats a good parent she acts like a fun friend then actual parent except when she was teach one of the boys to polite and grounding the green witch didn't last
dewey: Cloud kicking is so much better then piloting.
Della's mind: I would strangle you but I love you so I'm going to try to be happy for you ya lil-
Dewey: I haven’t seen fizzy rocks in so long!
Webby: That’s because of all the lawsuits that were saying they were unsafe to eat!
Huey: EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT
Della is like my favourite character along with louie and lena.
I love lena and della too! Louie as well
0:07 I love how beakley looks so traumatized
In Della's defense? She never actually WAS a parent until she got back from being stranded on the moon. She had three eggs when she was stranded and eggs are suprisingly easy to care for and parent.
She had literally no experience or skill at it, and was going straight from never having been a parent in her life to having THREE KIDS.
She went from 0 to 500 in one step. The fact she managed at ALL is actually pretty impressive.
The fact that she actually learned, adapted, and BECAME good at it in the end is downright LEGENDARY. The majority of LIFELONG parents never fully get good at it!
It's really sweet how Della immediately trusted Dewey with the Cloudslayer. Even when he crashed, she praised him. And yeah, she's right! His first try and he was already doing amazing. I know a lot of kids Dewey's age would have IMMEDIATELY crashed, or gotten confused.
Della is a GREAT mom, and I don't care what anyone says
That being said, putting an eleven-year-old in charge of flying is a very, VERY bad idea. She gets points for being encouraging and supportive, but she's _really_ got to work on the whole "reckless endangerment" thing.
Then again, Scrooge (and even Donald, on occasion) is also guilty of that so I dunno.
I love how true this show was to everyone's characters, especially Della. I mean, how in the world would someone with her background deal with suddenly having to be a real parent to her three boys, after a decade of imagining how it would be? Dell's life had always been one of extremes, so when she finally gets to be a mom, she goes to every extreme trying to make it work. Her emotions are in a frenzy when she comes back. Dealing with excitement, fear, small amount of guilt over leaving in the first place, and that plays off of the boys' emotions as well, since they have a lot of feeling, most of which as kids they have no idea how to deal with anyway.
Her character arc revolves around finding a balance between supporting her kids in whatever they want to do, and holding then back from things that could hurt them, physically or emotionally. For me, the moment Della finally broke through the barrier and realised what it takes to be a parent came when she finally grounded Louie. A kid has to learn consequences someday, much better for them to learn while they are young and will be safe. Children who get away with everything grow up to become horrible people, and in this case, they make decisions that could get themselves or other people killed. Della finally realized that to be a parent sometimes means doing things you don't want to do, and her reaction afterward saying it was the hardest thing she'd ever had to do proves that she's finally achieved the balance.
And afterwards she becomes a better mom to all of them, but still remains true to her character, being chaotic and letting them do things that had she thought about them for a few seconds she might decide "mmmmaybe not". She still makes mistakes, but she always tries. And the kids start to respect her as an authority figure in their lives, like when Dewey asked her permission to go ride the carnival wheel. Its the small details that make this show so great.
So yeah, Della is one of the best animated characters ever, and Paget Brewster was born to play that role. I love all of the characters, but for me, Della Duck achieved character growth that I never could have expected from this show.
0:30 I never noticed Webby says "Again, it's incredibly unsafe" while the other two are encouraging him lol
What exactly is Louie saying tho
@@Nightshade-Aurora "Every time."
4:27 this is the reason why della is one of my favorite characters
2:20 I did NOT expect something that genuinely funny to come from children's programming
You haven't watched many good children's shows, have you?
I also like the moment she said to... Dewey I think? he doesn't have to prove her anything for her to love him in the episode with all the seeds of the world store in one place.
Also that speech she gave Scrooge in "New Gods on The Block". Not my favourite episode but one of my favourite Della moments in the season, if not the whole show.
Della Duck - the mother of the year😂
Huey hears...
Della: *inaudible*
Dewey: You'll be great.
Louie: Goodbye.
2:47 - I'm more scared of her than I am of Della's parenting.
5:16 - *I take it back, **_I take it back-_*
The inclusion and fleshing out of Della Duck, one of the most neglected characters even by Carl Barks' standards, was probably one of the boldest and smartest things 2017 DuckTales did in a long list of bold/smart decisions. It's one of the many reasons why even I, someone who grew up reading Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics by Carl Barks and loved the 1987 DuckTales, consider it to be better than even the 1987 original. Plus, Paget Brewster's voice and performance is a real Dellacasy, no pun intended.
I will forever respect the team behind this show for writing three characters that happen to be triplets and another character that happens to be their mother. None of them revolve around their role. And it's beautiful.
4:45 "mom!" "Ow!" "Can i go ride a death wheel at the pier so i can be famous?!" "Sounds awesome."

So enthusiastic and able to admit when she messed up. Della was awesome
Accept once 😕 she still meant well glomtales
“HEY COOL A DEAD GUY!”
I laughed so hard I scared my dog 🤣🤣🤣
Omg she's a rare women-child
"To get revenge on the one who defeated her, *AND HER FAMILY* ."
"Pretty sure we stuffed him in a garage, well goodnight!"
I love how Della slips into a European accent during the "night before Christmas: Scrooge edition."
That scary story was something. Especially since she casually said they stuffed it in the garage and said good night.
Della - "You're my kid. You can do anything."
Me - Nothing can stop Dewey Duck!

Even funnier given Dewey's VA voiced Sonic in the live-action movie. :D

I love her.
I was excited that Della was going to be part of the show by the end of the season 1 premiere, and I only wish we'd had a fourth season to get more time with her and the other characters who were introduced later on in the series.
Me too man, me too
That first one with both Dewey and della making puns and Louie questioning all what life had to offer is my favourite moment from ducktales

Now I remember why he looks high
Huey looks so adorable at 0:22.
I love how they dont make her a perfect mom shes not a bad mom by any means but shes new to it and her boys are already kids not babies anymore so it makes sense thats shes not good at like how most moms in cartoons are perfect at being moms while della is not she tries and loves her kids more then anything but she has no idea what shes doing but shes still a good mom shes just new at it
So, she made an irresponsible choice. But she spent YEARS regretting it, and now she's trying her best!
Cut her some slack.
Ikr. There's this weird misconception that comeuppance for a characters wrongdoings HAS to come from the people they've wronged. They don't see that Della being stranded on the moon for a decade and regretting her actions every day IS her punishment.
I mean, she spent like a decade having to subsist on nothing but *black licorice.*
Her development as a mother is really well written
4:52 I remember there was a great subtle moment here. While Dewey is looking at the video on his phone, Della rubs his head. It's the little gestures that matter too.
"Eh, whadda they gonna find out there a little rain, some debris?"
"HEY COOL A DEAD GUY!"

Della: The place: El Dorado, The time: When I was your age. The legend: The horror known as the Gilded Man. The Aztec android was meant to protect the people, but he blew a fuse and mangled them instead. Metal gnawed through flesh, leaving a trail of bodies until the gold city was stained blood red. I grabbed a wrench, crawled inside the gold-minted monster, hacked away at his clockwork innards, tearing him apart from the inside, piece-by-piece with reckless abandon! Wham! He let out a ghastly rusted shriek! Until, finally, his gory gears turned their last. Some say that was a death knell. Others say it was a promise; To rebuild and seek vengeance on the one who defeated him and her family! Pretty sure we stuffed him in the garage. Well, goodnight!

Don't burn it, extinguish the evil creature's soul
Della is actually pretty much what got me into DuckTales, watching the show whenever it was just on tv and being like "huh she's stuck on the moon I wonder how" and it binge watched the entire show in 3 days. I just love everything about Della, even though she's not perfect she's learning and I'm very salty we didn't have more episodes with her. I'm just salty we didn't have more episodes in general.
1:07 Love this story, ngl. Wish they ended it without the comedic change to funny to keep the drama, but I get that it's a comedy, therefore it isn't supposed to be as dramatic at every point.
4:14 Best moment in the whole show and you can't change my mind
Even the comedic part isn't that comedic when you realize it was foreshadowing.
She was a bit awkward in the beginning but no one knows how to be the best mom right from the get-go. She was always very supportive and caring.
She was worth the wait. For the longest we were unaware of the amazing Delia Duck. She is the best
this is probably every single one of us being parent
Shes exactly like Dewey its scary

Plus, people ship Cortana and Master Chief. Don't see why not ship a human and an antromorphic duck.
Della is the best. I wish she was included in the other MM media.

Della - "Now, it is my honor to present to you a true Della-cacy..."
Dewey - "How does she Dewey it?"
Louie - "Oh boy, now there's two of them."

There's someone in my family that does it all the time, and I see her every day.
There's one in every family. Two in mine actually.
From someone who hasn't actually watched duck tales:
She reminds me of Wendy from gravity falls
It makes it even better, that I know her voice actor as Emily Prentiss on Criminal Minds
That's SO cool !
This show recently ended and I miss it already
i love how after coming into the narrative she really needs to grow into the good mom she becomes by the end of the series. The quintessential “she’s a little confused but she’s got the spirit” energy. I also love that she’s met with resistance in the family, having to find a place for herself again after everyone went on without her for so long, especially when it comes to her kids and their differing attitudes towards her. ARGH i could seriously go on for ages!! she’s seriously gotta be one of the best examples of a well written parent in fiction. I absolutely adore what they did with her, no notes, 10/10, fucking golden.
She isn’t bad, she just isn’t a *mom* yet
She is always learning much like we’re always learning in life
I miss this show already. I really wish they had given us another season , but I guess it's better to go out as an amazing show then become old and stale...
but still...
Better it end as a gravity falls than it could a dead horse Spongebob.
I still wish we had gotten a season 4
1 extra season to expand more on maybe the moonlanders and dark wing duck (I'm on episode 11 season 3 btw) maybe another visit to castle mcduck? Season 4 could've had the big fowl fight thing. I feel like 4 seasons would be enough
edit: i finished the show and they didnt touch on jim starling when he was in the sewers
I wish we get 4th season to explore Coot's side of the duck family. They're the descendants of duckburg's founder after all.
Also explore May and June characters and how they will adopted by Daisy.
They really needed another season to flesh out Huey
When I first saw her I was like damn, I love this duck aaaaand she became one of my favourites characters ever :') She's a really good mom ok
