Note

the gizmorouges are so cool plz bless us with some random facts about them 🤲

gladly !!

honks + clarice

honks wanted to get into cosmology/astrophysics but ended up burning out super hard and fast, then kind of shifted to doing gigs around st canard as a bass guitarist (and then eventually also crime). clarice was in the cosmetology business but it wasnt going where she wanted fast enough. they met in prison and decided to move in together when they got out and the rest has kind of been history. and they also both take care of a pet snake named udon ! :vD

also if i think shelby rabara would make a great voice claim for clarice its for normal reasons <3

botfly

was a psych major (crowd boos) before going (yknow. fully) down the path of Eeevil... they have an ex out there who is convinced this is some sort of weird possession thing and is determined to stop at nothing to get them un-possessed. they dont really have a lot of hobbies outside of eating people's brain juices, but they do like gardening ! and listening to whatever the duckverse equivalent of ABBA is. their voice has a kind of cool two-tone kind of thing goin on when they talk !

anthrax

bit of a technophobe, which is a really fun irony with the consideration that hes a gizmoduck villain specifically. hes like 60 and definitely uses those orthopedic inserts for his shoes (im allowed to make fun of him for this bc i also use them). he controls his mutants with this weird chemical pheromone. thing. he whipped up, so usually the further away from him they are the more they tend to act normal (or yknow, scared/lost/confused). i know keith david already is in ducktales canonically as manny but........ its just who he sounds like in my head. i cant help that mr david has such a distinct voice ok

lugnut

breathing fire. a three-point-articulated crocodile death roll. crushing bite force of over 16,400 newtons at least. this guy can do it all, so its a good thing that unlike the rest of the rogues he prefers to face off what he considers an actual worthy opponent, and really hates to target people who are pretty much defenseless. despite his slow-going acceptance that he is in fact a fully sentient and sapient being, and not just a big hunk of metal that goes places and does whatever, he has picked up exactly 1 (one) hobby, and likes to paint and draw ! he also has rats, by the names of bolt, socket, axle, and wrench ! also speaking of notable voices, i will admit that michael dorn's performance of coldstone (from gargoyles) did kind of influence a lot of my choices for him, and also to a lesser but still not negligible amount, his performance of course of worf, from star trek tng + ds9

One Year Anniversary: Top 12 Ducktales Episodes!

Happy anniversary all you happy people! Yes it was one year ago today I started reviewing animation and it’s been a ride to be sure. I’d always WANTED to be a reviewer: I love going on and on about stuff I love, really digging into it and picking it apart... but I could never get started. I tried youtube but I didn’t have the money for the equipment nor a proper shooting space to record, so my efforts.. were not great. And while I TRIED text reviews, my own looming pile of self hatred meant every attempt I made was shot down when it got hard as me not being good enough.

But one year ago I finally got past that. I’d already been reviewing a bit, doing invididual issues of comics... but got way in over my head trying to do the current line of X-Men comics as it came out, and wisely bowed out of that. But that left a gap: I had nothing to cover week to week and with a demanding new job, I drifted into just doing in charcter chats, little fan fictions script styles. Not bad work, I should do some more at some point and I even got a comissoin once in a while, but nothing I could really live on and not what I wanted to do with my life.

Enter Ducktales. I’d always WANTED to review the show.. and when the double premire happened, I decided fuck it, and put up my thoughts. And then decided.. hey maybe I can do this every week.. and slowly.. my work evolved, getting better and better, getting more and more likes. I picked up Amphibia when that came by week to week.

And eventually.. this went from a hobby, if one I was passionate about to a career. Not a largely paying one, as only one person was really intrested in paying me for it, friend of the blog and our fincial backer @weirdkev27, but .. it’s money and i’m now making about 30 dollars a month due to a comination of comissions and patreon. Other contributers are always welcome mind you, my patreon is here if your curious and comissions are 5 dollars an episode, but i’ts just nice to have money coming in. To have gone from simply WANTING to review things and make a living off it.. to simply doing it.

And it’s been one hell of a year.. and not just because 2020 felt like hell or 2021 began with a full on insurrection. I feel like i’ve acomplished a lot in the year i’ve been doing this: I finished what I started with Ducktales season 3, getting better and better as I went. And I didn’t stop there with ducks: I started covering what brought me to Ducks in the first place, the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, and while that retrospective has slid a bit on the schedule, I intend to get it back on track this month. I reviewed a bunch of Darkwing Duck episodes leading up to the Just Us Justice Ducks.. chronologically anyway. The actual airing order reads like someone took 50 issues of a comic, made it rain with them, then just started reading whatever ones they picked up randomly. I also covered some of Duck Master Carl Barks work with the classics Night on Bear Mountain, A Christmas for Shacktown and Back to the Klondike, with more to come.

And the Duck didn’t stop at just reviews I did on my own: Kev comissioned two MASSIVE retrospectives from me: My first for him was Ride of the Three Caballleros where in just a few short months I covered the boys entire televisied careers together from the movie, to house of mouse, to mickey and the roadster racers, to ducktales (again) and finishing with the wonderful Legend of the Three Caballeros. It has probably the worst Daisy imaginable, but otherwise is really excellent and i’m glad I finally watched it. I also covered Don Rosa’s two stories with the boys as part of it. It was a fun ride and I enjoyed every minute of it... okay most of them again Three Cabs Daisy is the worst. And once that finished Kev started up another idea: Shadow Into Light: a look at Lena’s character arc from start to finish that has gone on to be my most popular series on this blog, and that finishes next week. And there’s more to come as after that there’s a short breather with a look at Lilo and Stitch’s crossover episodes.. folllowed by me looking at all three of season 2′s ducktales arcs. And I fully intend to have covered every episode of the series by this time next year, so stay tuned.

Outside of ducks though I didn’t slow down. I restarted my Tom Lucitor retrospective, covering what i feel to be one of Star Vs’ two best characters, tied with eclipsa, and my personal faviorite as he redeemeed himself, found love and I bitched a lot about the horrible directions the series took and probabably will more as that’s still not done yet. I did what I always wanted to do and started looks at some of my faviorite comics ever, starting with Life and Times and adding in New X-Men and Scott PIlgrim. I also threw in the awesome comic Blacksad. I did pride month for the first time and not only came out publicly, but also did two whole arcs i’m proud of with The Saluna episodes of Loud house and the rednid episodes of OK KO, and generally just had myself a good old fashioned time as an out bi man reviewing childrens cartoons.

I started Season 2 of amphibia with it’s lows of an endlesss road trip and highs of adding Marcy to the cast and giving us more of the silky voiced keith david. And finally Patreon wise Kev’s taken me on a hell o fa journey: In addition to the restrospectives i’ve covered some additional darkwing duck, and a simpsons homage to the duck comics... but also got a bit weird and obscure with detours like the lost animnaics sucessor Histeria, the apocalyptic comedy where Santa dosen’t know how doors work Whoops! and the adventures of Santa’s bratty teen daughter jingle belle. In short.. it’s been a long year but damn has it been fun and there’s more to come. I’d like to thank all of you for reading, thank my Patreons Kev and Emma for supporting me, and thank my family for doing the same. So with that out of the way, I figured the best way to celebrate was to do something i’ve been wanting to do for a long time, something honoring the show that gave me this calling in the first place. And with Season 3 sadly being the last, and enough weeks having passed for me to digest it between the finale and today, I could think of nothing better than my top 12 episodes of Ducktales.

Ducktales is one of the best cartoons of the 2010′s. Brilliantly taking EVERYTHING that had come before, the comics, the original cartoon and every bit of duck media period to craft a masterful, unique and wonderful reboot. It was funny, it was insane, and it had damn good character arcs. By the end every member of the main cast along with major supporting cast members like Fenton, Drake and especially Lena, had changed and signifigantly at that. The show was everything I could’ve dreamed of and more and I miss it terribly, hoping DIsney will do a revivial movie at some point. For now though, Frank and Matt’s run on ducktales, as they called it and I do too since i’m a massive comic book nerd, it’s time to look back on my favorite tales of ducks. So grab your sharks, your number one dimes and your friendship cakes with clear gay undertones and join me under the cut as I celebrate one of my faviorite shows and my anniversary in the best way possible.

12. House of the Lucky Gander!

So as i’ve gone on about before and no doubt will again, Donald kinda got the short end of the stick in season 1. While Frank and Matt had good story intentions, keeping Donald away from adventure since he had no interest in it, in practice it meant a beloved Disney Icon who they and disney HEAVILY promoted as part of the series and whose being here this go round was a big draw for fans of the comics.... was only in a quarter of the season and only got TWO plots centered around him in 23 episodes, with only one being the main plot of the episode. The PIlot and Finale both centered around the family more as a whole if your curious how I counted those so while he got plenty of focus in both, it’s still not a day in the limelight sort of thing.

But unusually for Donald, he lucked out as his one big starring role for Season 1 was both one of my faviorites and one of Season 1′s most inventive outings. A lot of the episodes enegy comes from a one two punch of a great guest star and one of the series best settings. The guest star is of course everyone’s faviorite overly lucky himbo Gladstone Gander. The show adapted the prick perfectly: The original Gladstone from the comics.. was the worst asshole imaginable, utterly insufferable. And for a villian, and Donald’s rival, that’s all well and good.. but his super luck meant he RARELY , if ever, suffered any consequences for being just...

The 87 series simply made him nicer, while Going Quackers simply removed his luck. No adaptation really got how to make this fucker work.. until this one. Here Frank split the diffrence: Gladstone is still smug.. but he’s no longer actively malicious. While he is an insensitive prick to Donald in this one, unlike the comics he’s not constantly bragging about his luck or how great he is or actively BAITING Donald to fight with him or trying to ruin his relationship or a million other reasons he sucks and I hate him.

This version by contrast... is generous. He’s not the most empathetic, because he doesn’t get how life works, but he does share the riches of the casnio with everyone and in a cameo appearance in “Treasure of the Found Lamp” gladly offers his nephews some diamonds. He’s got a nice surface level charm to him that makes you understand why people like him.. but it’s also clear ther’es nothing UNDER that of value, making you equally understand why Scrooge and Donald hate him. Gladstone in this reboot is a perfect example of why we need reboots or new adaptations in the first place: Because sometimes the original got something wrong or something can be done much better by the new writers.

He’s perfectly paired with the setting: The House of Lucky Fortune, a mystical casino with an East Asian astatic based in the country of Macaw and provides two great plots. Donald’s really highlights his character: His understandable jealousy at gladstone earning the boys love through nothing while he struggles to make a living for them, and how he feels like a looser and like Gladstone is simply showing that off instead of just not knowing what empathy is. Having Louie be the one to bond with Gladstone was also just pitch pefefct, as is showing some depth for the boy by having himr ealize his hero is an asshole and be the one to help donald in the end.

The other plot is just pure joy though and is where the setting REALLY shines: Scrooge and the rest of the kids try to leave.. but can’t find the exit. This is where the creative part comes in: The Casino simply morphs to keep people trapped, and caters to them, giving them whatever they want to keep them trapped. In the cases of the kids it’s all hilarious and adorably in character: Huey becomes entranced by a fancy water show, in one of his best bits of the season, Dewey gets a pet tiger who sadly did not come home with him and Webby gets to live the dream we’ve all had of stuffing her face directly in a choclate fountain. Scrooge’s escape is likewise clever: He simply prepares to get a room.. then books it as the check in desk is ALWAYS near the front.

We then find out Gladston’es trapped get the whole mystical contest with absolutely gorgeous animation, i’ll talk about it in full some time but this episode is just a treat to watch, has a great arc for donald and had some memorable gags. I can’t help but smile when I watch it.

11. The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee! As I mentioned before i’m a superhero nerd so naturally Fenton was one of my faviorite parts of the show. Frank and Matt were just damn good at crafting superhero stories, and like gladstone improved fenton turning him from an awkward donald stand in to an awkward peter parker-esque science nerd who just wants to be a good person and the best hero he can be. He got into science not just because he thinks it’s neat, but because he honestly wants to help people and you can’t help but foot for him whenever he pops up. Lin Manuel Miranda is a large reason for that, bringing his incomparable a-game to the character. While we sadly didn’t get a ton of gizmoduck focused episodes, the fatct we got AS MANY as we did and that Lin didn’t drop out for a minute even with his busy schedule was a miracle and I’m acknowledging that.

As for why this one, I feel it builds brilliantly on the previous Fentoncentric episode Who Is Gizmoduck?! which just BARELY didn’t make this list and uses the fact we haven’t seen fenton in a while as both a plot point and to move some things forward without having to spend screentime they clearly didn’t have. By having Fenton be just burnt out on superheroics it finds a way to both explain where he’s been, he’s been busy with his new job, and give us an interesting angle to the old “superhero is tired of the life” thing. He never once complains about saving people or stuff... it’s just like any job it gets tiring after a while. As someone who has his dream job but has struggled with it from time to time, I vastly relate.

Though while I love my boy and Lin is game as always, the episodes real MVP is my other boy Huey. The episode has moved Huey up from being simply Fenton’s fanboy to being his best friend, and adorable as hell relationship. The two clearly respect and appricate each other and Huey is looking out for his buddy the whole episode. His love of love is also just really cute. Added in the mix is Webby, who in one of my faviorite gags of the series, finds out Fenton is Gizmoduck because Huey is incredibly and insanely blatant with his unecessary coverup. But she of course is game to help while Fenton is trying to play it casual. We also just get a waterfall of great gags as everyone overdoes it wingmanning for fenton: Huey sets up an itallian bistro and tries to purposfully create a lady and the tramp situation, and sings opera (With Manny on acordian), the wonderfully 80′s suit from Fenton’s dad his mom gives him to wear, and Launchpad, who gives us a tremendous list of his exes, and plays my favorite song of the series: It’s a Date, a micheal mcdonnel riff.

This episode also wisely ups Mark’s Beaks game as Fenton’s arch enemy, still keeping him hilaroius, with the guy acting like a bored teenager and guzzling so much nanite jucie he turns into a hulk, as well as said hulk mode leading to a ton of great gags from kidnapping the children (”I got your kids.. are they your kids? I don’t know how this family works), to “take that coach dad” to eating a pie with tins and all and wondering about said tins. But he’s an actual threat now, taking on fenton in one hell of a fight, and having an utterly transcendent scene where he hacks his way past gyro’s security while dancing.. and dabbing because of course he does. It’s a fun, well done character piece that’s mostly here for i’ts laugh but Fenton’s struggle with Gizmo overtaking his life, and finding out someone he truly hit it off iwth only wanted him for that.. it’s really good stuff and Lin’s delivery after Fenton finds out, the pure pain and betryal in his voice, is just excellent. Also that opera scene is poetry.

10. Quack Pack!

One of the episodes that started my career naturally landed here. Not for that reason though: Quack Pack is a fun riff on sitcoms, specifically the tgif ones of the 90′s that Disney Afternoon Kids no doubt also watched, the kinds Disney Channel still makes today, and most importanly the kind the Disney Afternoon itself made like Goof Troop and well... Quack Pack.

Riffs on sitcoms are nothing new and the last year has been FULL of them. 2020 gave us this episode, Beef House and the wonderful “The Perfect House” episode of Close Enough, and this year gave us WandaVision, my second favorite MCU project so far, right behind Black Panther, which used the sitcom deconstruction to create one hell of a character study.

So you’d think with a year having passed and this concept happening as an entire mini series would dull this one.. but no. it’s still damn funny, having fun at the cliches while, again like WandaVision, having one of the main cast be responsible by accident but go along with it. The episode pivots from glorious affectionate parody of cheesy sitcoms, to that plus horrifying “Humans”, and a character piece for Donald. This brings Donald’s hatred and fed up ness with adventure to a head revealing his fondest wish is just to have a normal life and not loose anyone again.

It takes one of his best friends to snap him out of it. Look Goofy is my second faviorite of the sensational seven, an episode with him was already an easy sell for me.. but the episode uses him really well. First for laughs as he’s gentically dispositioned to be a perfect sitcom neighbor.. but also for heart. With his family preoccupied and a bit hurt, i’ts Goofy who cuts to the heart of the issue, pointing out NO ONE is normal and even his normal domestic life raising Max, who we see go to prom with roxanne eeeeee, has all sorts of chaos. Normal is what you make of it and pining for some ideal that will never happen was just tearing donald apart piece by piece and by letting go of that.. he finally begins to grow as a person throughout the season. It’s also a great thematic tie in to the season’s overall plot with Bradford and what Makes donald, despite also disliking the chaos his family gets into, different. Donald accepted it and grew as a person.. Bradford clung to his hate and it ate him alive. Or turned him into a non-sapient kind of vulture. Before I close this part out Jaleel White is also excellent and I wish eh’d get back into voice acting. He’s so freaking good at it. Seriously man i’d love to see him and ben in a sonic property together as a mythology gag. Same with Jims cummings and carey. Just think about it whoever owns the sonic movies.. think about it.

9. The Last Adventure!

Look I knew this was coming, you knew this was coming. But it had to be on here. The Last Adventure is not perfect: The lack of a build up episode like the previous two finales had really hurt this one: even at about 70 minutes, it still feels rushed in places and Huey, one of hte main characters of the season, dosen’t feel like he has a full payoff to his character like Dewey and Louie got.

But despite those flaws.. this episode is just a damn good ending. Almost everyone gets a big moment paying off their character arc, everyone in the party that comes to rescue webby and huey, along with the two themselves, gets a moment to show off, and everything comes together to give us one last epic sendoff. There’s just moment stacked on moment stacked on moment from Launchpads heroic second wind and donning of the gizmoduck armor, to Webby’s tearful confrontation with Beakley, to Huey using the greatest adventure of all line to foil bradford in one of the most deligfhully nuts moments of the series, I could go on for days with just how triumphant this finale felt. While it left a lot of doors open.. that feels like part of the design. It’s the end of the fight with FOWL.. but our heroes will never stop adventuring, never stop going and never stop being in our hearts and the curtain call at the end is now my faviorite bit of end credits ever, perfectly giving the main cast and friends one last chance to take a bow in their own unique ways. I will always miss this show but I will never be disapointed by the note it went out on.

8. The 87 Cent Solution!

Look some episodes are show stoppers, some are heartfelt tearjerkers, some are all this and more.. and some episodes are just clever and hilarious. The 87 Solution is the second funniest episode of Ducktales with me and my go to episode when watching the show. It’s just pure fun and with a clever premise: Scrooge notices 87 cents have gone missing, and already coming down with a cold, goes mad with paranoia as the kids slowly don face masks, something that has become even eeerier given everything, one by one realizing he needs to stop.

While David Tennant is an EXCELLENT dramatic actor, his comedy timing is really something that shoudln’t be ignored and i’ts on full display here as his performance gets more and more deranged, to thep oint he thinks an 8th dimensional imp is repsonsible. He nicely balances the disturbing side of Scrooge’s paranoia, his distancing from his family, with plenty of great gags about it too, the standout being when he offers 2 million dollars to whoever took the money like he’s publicly appeasing kidnappers. It’s fucking brilliant.

But while David is awesome as ever what really, truly makes the episode is my boy, one of my faviorite characters on the show if not my single faviriote FLINTHEART GLOMGOLD. Keith Ferguson is ALWAYS a dream as the character but this is his best performance by far. Part of this is the addition of Zan Owlson, Kev who I mentioned earlier’s faviorite Ducktales character. She’s not only throughly likeable in her own right, but provides the one thing Flinty was missing; a straight man.. or woman in this case. Scrooge wasn’t TERRIBLE in the roll, but can easily step away from his shit or foil it. Owlson has to put up with Glomgold’s nonsense while desperatly trying to stop him from undoing all her hard work with sheer force of jackass. The two jut play off each other brilliantly, Glomgold not getting sh’es not his employee but his equal and Owlson constnatly snarking at him.

And of course both things hit their peak in the climax with the family staging a fake funeral (Though no one told donald it was fake), and we get the funniest scene in the entire fucking show as Glomgold burts in in a white suit, money shades and full dance number to “All I Do Is Win’, which when first watching this I was convinced the song was somehow accidnetly on in the background but nope. They got it after using it in the test phase and the scene is better for it. Glomgold twerking on Scrooge’s casket, trying to get on it to dance, and having to be placated like ac hild is the icing on this very rich cake

And the reveal scene is also gold as Glomgold gets into a YEARLONG staring contest with a baby, fails to steal more than the 87 cents and, in my faviorite touch, put on an imp costume just to make scrooge seem crazier... then keeps the damn thing on the rest of the time for no explicable reason. The episode is the show at it’s comedic peak while giving Glomgold a chance to be a genuine threat and that’s Glomgood.

7. Let’s Get Dangerous!

Frank’s Rebooted Version of Darkwing Duck is probably his greatest achivment with the show. While this show is a team effort, something I slowly realized as I reviewed the show, it’s very clear from the way he talks, how well he knows the show and how much effort was put into porting Darkwing into the reboot that this was his baby. While redefining ducktales for the 2010′s was clearly a huge dream of his... doing the same for the master of suprise was an even bigger goal. And as a huge fan of superheroes i’ve seen my fair share of half assed takes on laired and complex characters. The XCU alone is one giant grab bag of missed opportunities for me.

So i’ts no exageration when I tell you Frank.. nailed it. In one of the most brilliant moves i’ve seen for a superhero work Frank worked his love of the show into the reboot.. by having Darkwing have been a show, one Launchpad loved.. and so did Drake, who was inspried by the show to become an inspriation himself and while his attempt to do that through a zack snydery reboot failed, Launchpad encouraged him to do it for real. Drake was still himself, but the meta aspect and the toning down of some of darkwing’s more obnoxious traits that didn’t work in a universe that, while patently rediciulous still took it’s characters seriously, he made a BETTER version of the character.

This is where all that comes to it’s peak, and hoppefully convinced Disney to let Frank , and possibly matt, run the reboot. And no, even if Point Grey is producing that dosen’t stop that: Thanks to Invincible i’ve now realized that Seth and his friend Evan producing the show dosen’t mean it’ll be RAN by them, nor unrelated to this. It just means their helping make it and if anything given how lush and gorgeous invincible’s animation is, it’s a VERY good sign their helping out with it if it’s true.

But wether this versoin continues or not, Frank gave it his best shot. Part of his diffrent angle is having Drake as a rookie here and as such here we see him truly struggle: he’s had his origin, he ahs the cape, he has the gadgets (in a brilliant turn thanks to fenton, who he actually likes... but is so far the ONLY person to not get he’s Gizmoduck), and the city.. but no crime to fight and no real idea how to go about his lifelong dream. The events of the episode slowly shape him: WHile he already had the spirit for darkwing, never giving up, looking good in a cape etc, this episode gives him the heart the same way it gave his original it: With Gosalyn. Dimantopolis and Beatriz just play off each other perfectly, as the two go from neimies to slowly bonding as Drake realizes this kid needs him and that he needs to fight for more than just filing the ohle inside, and goes to hell and back to help her get her grandpa back, with one of the best moments of the episode to me being when Launchpad helps her realize how hard he’s been working at it, an exausted drake refusing to acccept that he can’t get her grandpa back because he promised. He grows from simply trying to live the dream.. to surpassing the original. We also see more from Launchpad, who grows into his new family and helps push his boyfriend and newa dopted daughter in the right directions. The episode really evolves these characters from the simple disney afternoon versions, who while awesome were made into fully fleshed out characters. Gosalyn still has her edge but now has a hard lesson to learn about doing the right thing, forced to give up someone she loves for the greater good but finding a new family in the process.

Part of what makes the episode work though as while it is funcitonally one big darkwing duck reboot pilot that’s awesome, heartrending and a joy to watch... it’s still a ducktales episode in parts without either part hurting each other. Huey plays a vital role, figuring the ramrod is too good to be true.. and discovering just how it is, then when captured, slowly unravling why Bradford’s there and being at least in part responsible for outing him as a FOWL agent. While this is largely Drakes story the rest of the cast is still vital to it: Scrooge trusting in huey, Louie serving as his logical counter and Dewey meanwhile bonding with team darkwing and helping Gosalyn, knowing exactly where she’s been and providing a nice foil. The episode is just one long and impressive love letter to the original show while creating it’s own thing and that’s really this reboot in a nutshell. It also has some of the best fights of the series, with the first fight between darkwing and bulba, where our hero, unlike his original counterpart, easily troucnes bulba using his speed and skill, is the standout.

6. Woo-Ooo!

I covered this one recently so I won’t go on for too long.. but I will say I hold this one up as the gold standard for first episodes. In one hour, hell even in jus the first half we get a sense of the whole cast, the tone of the show, and the world we’ve been thrust into. It gets all the table setting out of the way by weaving it into a compelling story of Scrooge getting back in the game, finding a reason to get back to what he does best in those he loves most and setting up the season long arc effortlessly in the process. The worst I can say about the episode is it sets the bar a bit high for Season 1 and a lot of the first half really struggled to reach these heights. This episode is a masterwork and the perfect showcase for what the series would be at it’s height.

5. Moonvasion!

Speaking of Golden Standards, Moonvasion is one of the best season finale’s i’ve seen. it’s not THE best.. but that’s a really high bar to clear and that spots currently taken in my heart by “The Crossroads of Destiny” from Avatar the Last Airbender. But while not the best of it’s kind, it’s sitll the best the series put out and is an utterly satisfying epic that ties up season 2.

While I love the Last Adventure, it had a LOT to tie up and was really hampered by having to do all of that with no direct lead in. Moonvasion by contrast hits the ground running with the Moonlanders arriving on earth and all hell breaking loose, and the episode itself breaking into two stellar plots. Scrooge leading an army of every ally he has against the invaders, and Della seemingly going for reinforcements.. but really just trying to keep the kids safe from it, to their anger once they find out.

Both sides end up going badly: Scrooge looses most of his army as Lunaris was one step ahead of him and is left iwth Beakly and Launchpad, while Della ends up marooned.. and finds Donald. The reunion between the two is the highlight of the special, as the two argue as you’d expect (And Dewey cutting in seemingly to stop it.. only to rant at Donald for costing him “ten years of turbo” is the best gag of the episode), before embracing.

Our heroes naturally find ways to bounce back though. Louie, capping off his growth for the season, convinces his mom they can’t just hide.. and in the second best scene of the episode sings the lullabye she wrote.. one Donald sung them every night

And no sooner than Della gets her step back and realizes that dangerous or not she and her newly reunited family have to get back in there, do the cousins show up on Fethry’s giant shrimp/girlfriend Mitzi, and our heroes head back.

Scrooge’s plot hits i’ts peak though as he’s forced to accept the help of an unlikely and unwelcome ally: Glomgold, who turns out to be exactly what they need: While his plan is as stupid, short sighted and insane as you’d expect, complete with forcing Scrooge to dress up as santa just to piss him off and dressing his sharks in parkas (”I call them sharkas”), the sheer lonacy throws Lunaris off as he dosen’t know how to deal with this and Glomgold not only gets the better of him but gets his company back as part of his scheme. “You were prepared for our best but not our dumbest!” “And i’m the dumbest theirs ever been! Muahahahaha! Wait...”

And of course our other heroes arrive just in time to save things.. and the episode still manages to pull off what many works struggle to, something tha’ts very hard to: a SECOND climax. Lunaris decides to just say fuck it and blow up the earth and i’ts up to our core family to kick his ass in space. Epic space battles, Della’s girlfriend meeting the family and more insues and an emotoinal, action packed and fully satisfying finale is had by all... and it’s all topped with one of the best sequel hooks i’ve ever seen as FOWL makes themselves known to us.. and prepares to strike.

4. How Santa Stole Christmas! This one will also be short as i’ve talked about this one.. a lottttt. The initial review, my best christmas specials list and my best of 2020 list. I stand by all of that: this is a unique and wonderful christmas special, i’ll be watching it every year, and i’ts full of charm, humor and gay subtext. In short it’s this series but on christmas footing.

3. Last Crash of the Sunchaser!

Another one I covered very recently, this episode is a master piece of suspense, slowly building tension as our heroes get closer and closer to the truth about Della.. and to death, the simple but deadly stakes making this an absolute nailbiter from start to finish. This is some of the series best pacing bar none... but what seals it is the ending: the masterful flashback finally explaning whatever happened to Della duck, our heroes lashing out at each other.. all cumilating in the best Scene of the show. I said it might be in the review but no I can confirm: Scrooge bitterly ruminating over things while we find out just how much he’s lost... ending with him tearfully and angrily sitting once again alone in one hell of a powerful shot echoing Scrooge’s first apperance. Damn fine stuff.

2. Escape from The Impossbin Only one episode not only matches Last Crash in mounting tension and atmosphere but suprasses it. With FOWL and Bradford’s true nature now out in the wind, this episode uses that to create tension and rattles it’s two most unshakable characters: SCrooge’s normal boundless confidence is shot, not sure he can win this time against an opponent who knows him as well as he knows himself while Beakly slowly unravels, pitting Webby against the boys.. and pitting herself against Webby when Webby sees her terroizing them is only dividing them. Both plots start out funny enough but slowly escalate in tension and stakes until by the end your on the edge of your seat. The Beakly plot is the standout of the two, giving Bentina the starring role she badly needed, having gotten even better in light of the finale. Everyone is at the top of their game and everything builds up to one hell of a twist ending and one hell of a badass boast from our heroes: Their down.. but their far from out and this is far from over.

1. Nightmare On Kimotor Hill!

I”ll be reviewing this episode in full later this week as part of my Lena retrospective, but I stand by putting it up top. This episode is ducktales in it’s purest form and focuses on it’s best original character as Lena grapples with her self hatred and her past. That core helps anchor an amazing concept: going into the Kid’s dreams and finding out their greatest desires. The results.. are all gloriously rediclous and are easily the best gags of hte series as a whole: Dewey’s high school musical santa claus is going ot high school nonsense from getting a’s in Dewology to running away from the abstract concept of a love intrest, to not getting the sybolism of himself crying a moon made of his own tears. Louie quite literally becoming garfield, and my faviorite scene of the show: Huey, wanting to be the tall older brother..g iving himself horrifcly long leg. While everyone else is just understandably baffled, what makes the scene is the banter between Dewey and Huey, with Schwartz and Pudi at their best as Dewey first freaks out and then asks what the hell man, while Huey defends his weird decision (”I”m not good at imagination stuff okay!”), and then tries to get a jar of pickles. Each dream is just so oddly and wonderfully specific to each kid and each one of the triplests dreams, as well as violets being color coded down tot he backgrounds is a very nice touch. The visuals here are just peak ducktales, using the setting for all it’s worth and the climax is utterly emotoinal and heartbreaking... and Lena’s break from her abuser, finally realizing she has the power now is not only a wonderful metaphor... but also just so damn cathartic. And that’s why this one’s the best to me personally: it just packs so much into 20 minutes: some of the series best and most creative jokes, a gripping emtoinal arc, and so much more. It’s just that damn good and tha’ts why it’s the best... that and starting Huelet for me. Seriously that LIbrary scene is so fucking cute.

Thank you all for reading. If you liked this artcle, join my patreon and help me get to my stretch goal for monthly darkwing duck reviews, a review of super ducktales and more after! Until the next rainbow... it’s been a pleasure.

7 PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER. rules: fill this up and then tag 7 people you’d like to know better!

one / ( alias / name ): Acara, though I have been called Rambler before two / ( date of birth ): May 29th three / ( zodiac sign ): Gemini Monkey four / ( height ): 5′ 9″ (actually more like 5′ 8 and 3/4″ but I round up lol) five / ( hobbies ): doodling, writing, reading, playing with pets, going for walks both outside and on wikis six / ( favorite color ): Yellow! seven / ( favorite books ): Hm, does manga count? Because it would be probably be Dream Saga by Megumi Tachikawa. This series holds a close place to my heart, as I managed to get all volumes of it back in the early 2000s, before it went out of print. When I was in middle-school and reading all the manga I could get my hands on, this one stood out to me. While plenty of manga and anime have references and allusions to Japaneses mythology, this was the first one I read that came out and said ‘here is the creation myth of Japan and here is the myth of Susanoo rescuing the princess’, which kept it from going all over my kid head. It kind of became a starting off point for me to learn more about the mythology, and the art became a big influence on me. eight / ( last song listened to ): Hell or High Water by The Rescues nine / ( last film or show watched ): Other than SRMTHFG? Hm, probably was the Ducktales reboot. ten / ( story behind url ): I ramble, a lot. My main blog is randomramblingtidbits but here I am rambling about SRHMHG! eleven / ( inspiration for muse / talk about an oc ): Oh boy, you ready to see my rambling first hand? :D

So once upon a time I had this massive SRMTHG fanfic I began writing after season three wrapped up. Even back then I was of the opinion that adding more female characters to a show is always a good thing, and as I said before the backstory of the store is a sausage feast. So I began creating all these female lore characters, who more often than not also had a robot monkey friend. Then I began pruning them down as I grew up and my ideas matured, as well as incorporating stuff from season four. As it is, Pheena is a mesh of aspects from about three or four old OC’s.

The main idea was that there is a lot of unknown when it comes to the backstory of the Monkey Team. Somehow it was foreseen that there would be a Chosen One. Somehow the Alchemist had to stick around long enough to complete the team despite how advance his transformation appeared in Golden Age. Somehow Shuggazoom stayed protected between the time of Captain Shuggazoom and the Monkey Team. Somehow the Skeleton King was kept at bay and away from Shuggazoom until season one. Somehow the monkeys went to asleep after Mandarin.

It is just easy to replace all those ‘somehows’ with ‘someone’, and thus Pheena.

Similarly, Flora originated from several robot monkey OC’s, several of whom were the robot monkey companions to the same characters Pheena originated from. I use to have alot of RM OC’s because...I actually thought there were going to be more monkeys in the show? That might sound weird, but between Sokko, Mandarin (remember, I thought he was a random unrelated monkey who went Krinkle on the team), and the Robo-Apes, middle-school Acara was sure that there would be more monkey side characters. I was so sure that Shuggazoom was just going to be this place where monkeys lived alongside the humans, with morere characters like Jinmay who had a monkey companion, but who wasn’t actually weren’t like evil. So Pheena and Flora are kind of an exploration of that girl and her monkey idea that Jinmay and Sokko presented and their human-monkey relationship acting as a foil to Chiro and the team’s (but especially with Antauri).

And while Flora being a normal monkey came later, that further explores the idea of seeing how the robot monkeys would react to a regular monkey. As I mentioned before, she really fills in the role of bratty child that UltraForce!Chiro was suppose to be, as well as being something of a ‘little sister’ to the team’s dynamics. And when I was in fandom like Sonic the Hedgehog, Friendship is Magic, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I was floored by way fans used real world animal facts to enhance their stories, weaving in biology with fiction to make such interesting tales. I am a veterinary nurse, so seeing animal facts utilized is for anthros and cartoons animals always fascinated me. So Flora became a good way for me to try my hand at the same thing, integrating more real world monkey facts into the fan narrative I’m crafting. The Spottova twins are similar, being a way for me to utuizlie what I learned about cotton-top tamarins and family structures of monkeys.

...and this is why I’m called a rambler XD

AGGED BY: @sweetcircuits and @monkeyinaround! Thanks for the shoutout and sorry I took so long to respond! TAGGING: Hm, who in the SRMTHFG! fandom hasn’t been tagged? Let’s see, there is @ar-blackshaw, @iudormu, @obscuraperla and has fandom mom @netbug009 done it yet? IDK, help yourself, pools open feel free to jum pin.

MunDay on a Tuesday

1. How tall are you?

5′8.5″ (and I really count that extra half inch, sometimes it’s the difference between being able to reach something and not).

2. What color and style is your hair?

Naturally dark brown, with some grey/silver hairs, but my bangs are dyed and I try to keep them a purple-blue-green gradient (they need a refresher, though, and are presently more blue than anything else, cause that’s what likes to stick). Oh, and I keep it in Rapunzel’s short haircut. I tried a different style for six months, but I missed this one almost immediately after I cut it.

3. What color are your eyes?

Brown-green hazel

4. Do you wear glasses?

Sunglasses.

5. Do you wear braces?

Not anymore, but I did from ages 8-16. Yeah. That long.

6. What is your fashion style?

Okay, like, how do I even judge this? I usually wear jeans and t-shirts because they’re comfy and I’m thicc so I gotta deal with the thigh chafing if I go for skirts. I work in an office that is perpetually too cold, so shorts isn’t really an option. I love boots, but sneakers are comfier. I love sundresses. I love lots of styles that I just don’t have the money to invest in.

7. Full name?

I have spent a lifetime not liking my name, and even though @goofyzachial convinced me it means something far superior to what every baby name book every says it means, I prefer not to invoke it, as my full name is what my mother calls me when she’s mad at me, and I don’t care that I just turned 39, that shit sticks with you.

8. When were you born?

May 1980.

9. Where are you from and where do you live now?

I am from the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA, and I presently live in the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA, though I don’t live in the same neighborhood I grew up in, and I spent six months in Chicago and a few years in the next county over.

10. What school do you go to?

I haven’t gone to school in a long ol’ time.

11. What kind of student are you?

I was always very friendly with my teachers and attentive in the classes I enjoyed, and I tended to slack of in the ones I didn’t enjoy (like math). My senior year of high school, I stopped doing homework in my pre-calc class and I had to make it up and keep up with all the current homework as well and it took me, like, a month to do several months’ worth of homework. So I can do it, I just hate it.

12. Do you like school?

I like learning, but I don’t like the structure of school.

13. What are your favorite school subjects?

Art, music, creative writing. I was in marching band, and I sang at my HS graduation. There’s a part of me that really enjoys performing.

14. Favorite TV shows

Tangled the Series (duuuuuh), DuckTales (which just got me SUPER invested in it, as if I wasn’t before), Expedition Unknown, Mysteries at the Museum, Parks and Recreation... I’m a fan of animation, documentary-types and feel-good comedies.

15. Favorite movies?

Tangled. #1, topmost, Tangled. You should see my apartment. I’m generally a fan of Disney, and I’ve seen almost all of their theatrical animated works (even Song of the South). I love love love The Road to El Dorado. I don’t know, it’s hard for me to pick favorites. There’s tons of movies I’ve seen tons of times.

16. Favorite books?

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. But I also love The Art of Tangled and The Disney Sketchbook. (I’m a sucker for concept art.)

17. Favorite pastime

Roleplaying is probably my top, as in I do it most often. But I also enjoy drawing as well as other arts and crafts, and singing. It’s hard to balance all my interests and hobbies.

18. Do you have any regrets?

Yeah, I regret marrying the dude I married and wasting my mid-20s to mid-30s on him.

19. Dream job?

I honestly have no idea. I thought I knew for a while, but the more I learned about it, the less I want to do it. Ugh.

20. Would you like to get married someday?

Been there, done that. And as it is right now, I’m fine not doing it again. Who knows, maybe that’ll change someday.

21. Would you like to have kids someday?

I did. I wanted kids a lot. A really lot. But it didn’t happen, and I don’t think it ever will.

22. Do you like shopping?

Yeah... yeah I do. And I can’t afford to, but I do it away. (Again, you should see my apartment re: Tangled stuff).

23. What countries have you visited?

I’ve been to Canada and Mexico, but in both cases it was barely on the other side of the border. Vancouver and Tijuana. And I’ve never been outside the US as an adult.

24. What’s the scariest nightmare you’ve ever had?

I dreamed that my then-husband ran me through with a katana while I was hiding under the bed from an intruder. He just stabbed straight through the mattress then leaned over the edge and said, “I’m the intruder.” (And after I told him about the dream he had a dream where he killed me. Fun.)

25. Do you have any enemies?

I do. I don’t know if he knows he’s my enemy, though.

26. Do you have an s/o?

Eugene Fitzherbert.

27. Do you believe in miracles?

If by “miracle” you mean “something inexplicable that happens that either can’t be explained or can be, but is extremely rare and is difficult to intentionally reproduce” then yes.

Oc asks: 40, 54, and 64 and I'm not sure which character to do it for, so I'll let you decide! ^^

Okay so I’m gonna admit that I had this typed all out, forgot to press post and then left the page….so I had stuff but well, not ANY MORE! Let’s hope I can remember it all.

Doing all three that I had listed Ava (my ducktales oc) and Tuuli and Satu (Moomin ocs because I have no self control)

40: How does your OC handle grief?

Ava- She buries herself into her hobbies. She doesn’t think about what’s bothering her. She either likes to be useful or not be in the way at all. When she gets overwhelmed, she’ll sneak off to dance.

Tuuli- She gets clingy. She’s always curled up next to someone she trusts. She’ll hold their hands, lean on them, and hug them. She’ll eventually talk about what’s bothering her, but it takes a while.

Satu- She hides from people. She doesn’t want to be found. She refuses to talk to people. If she’s being pushed or bothered, she’ll leave for a walk or something. The only person you’ll ever find her by during these times is Tuuli.

54: Does your OC think with his/her head or heart

Ava- a nice combo of both. She wants to do what her heart wants, but she’ll also sit back and check things out. Is it too dangerous? Is it bad for her? Could she get hurt or hurt someone? She probably won’t do it if she answers yes to these. Though, that’s not always the case, she’ll sometimes do dangerous things for the thrill. She doesn’t want to live a BORING life.

Tuuli- She probably thinks more with her heart than head, though not by much. She’s compassionate and is willing to chance the risk if it means helping a person. But she’s not going to go out during the winter to explore the woods and try to paint the winter scenery if its too cold.

Satu- Not entirely sure. I think it changes depending on the scenario and who she’s around. I think she relies more on instinct and idk what that would fall under.

64: What are some habits your OC has picked up

Ava- Idk if this is a habit or not, but if she’s on the stage or underneath where stage lights are (so like, under the catwalk or whatever) she looks up a lot. This will be explained in the fanfic I plan on writing that has her in it.

Plays with her necklace. She twists and flips it around.

If there is music playing, she’s swaying in place, if she’s not dancing already

Tuuli- She will hum randomly.

She’ll hide Forget-Me-Nots on Satu’s being (hair, cloak hood, backpack if she’s leaving with it) whenever Satu leaves the house.

She carries a needle and thread on her at all times. If she needs something to do with her hands she’ll either pick up her current project or she’ll sew little designs in her dress or her apron if she’s wearing it.

Satu- She likes to hide poems in Tuuli’s potted plants on the porch. If it looks too stormy outside though, she’ll hide the poem in the kitchen next to the herbs or next to Tuuli’s mandolin.

When she’s out on walks during the autumn. She’ll tuck leaves in her hair if she likes their color or shape or design.

Satu will randomly start dancing when she gets a tune stuck in her head. This is often while she’s out on walks or near Tuuli and if Tuuli’s nearby she’ll try to guess the tune by the dance. Then she’ll see if she can figure out how to play it.

Ducktales: Separation AU Episode 1: Part 1

The episode starts out pretty similar, however, it is Dewford running around the kitchen trying to get breakfast, while also trying to give his uncle tips on how to dress for his upcoming interview, while also trying to sneakily hot wire the engine. It’s obvious the duckling can’t keep up with all of this at once, but he’s trying.

Donald gets a call from the sitter saying she cannot show up. Before he could even get the idea of canceling the interview, Dewey assures him that ‘he’s 12 now, he can watch himself and a couple of hours wouldn’t kill him.’

Once Donald is gone, Dewey begins a little victory dance racing to the helm of the ship to continue wiring the boat. However just as the engine starts Donald had walked back in because he had forgotten his keys. He caught Dewey just as he let out a victorious ‘Cape Suzette hear I come’.

Which lead Donald to haul Dewey to the backseat of his car.

Dewey:You never let me do anything fun. Donald: Dewey, if we wanna keep our home afloat we have to do things we don’t want to do.

Leading to the ‘Destination McDuck Manor’ Scene.

However it’s just Dewey asking questions a mile a minute.

The next shot we join Scrooge McDuck in his Money bin bored, as an equally bored Huey sits next to him during a board meeting. Going over the budget cuts.

Huey waits outside as Scrooge deposits his Money in his depleted Money bin. Huey helps him close the door which they both struggle with. The trip to the limo is silent.

Launchpad attempts conversation with Scrooge who is busy reading the paper, when his attempts fail he tries to talk to Huey while he is doing his homework. Both attempts fail.

Scrooge: Eyes on the road Mcquack!!! Every bruise I see on my boy and dent on my car is a deduction in yer salary.

Launchpad attempts conversation again, which Scrooge responds with bringing up the divider. Both he and Huey chuckle about this.

A quick stop sends Scrooge out of his seat while Huey makes a quick comment about seat belts.

Scrooge: Why aren’t we moving!

Just in front of them Donld is trying to get Ms.Beakly to open the gates so he can drop Dewey off before Scrooge arrives. Unfortunately for them they both just catch each other. Both men exit the cars to ‘greet’ each other.

Scrooge: Donald Duck. Donald: Uncle Scrooge.

Both boys in the separate car react very differently to the information. Dewey with more glee and Huey with less.

A quick argument and some wordplay leaves Scrooge in charge of Dewey for the day. Both boys exit the car for the greet. Dewey is a little put off by Hueys immediate glare. Donald glances at Huey and can’t help but feel a little sad.

Scrooge: Hubert, Donald Duck. Donald: Dewey meet Scrooge McDuck. Remember, no tricks, no lies, and no trouble. Dewey: Yes Uncle Donald Donald: I wasn’t talking to you.

Both Scrooge and Huey narrow their eyes at Donald.

Dewey walks at a slower pace behind Scrooge and Huey trying to take everything in. ‘Accidentally’ having the door closed on him before they enter the manor.

Scrooge is silent and any attempts at conversation with Huey are met with short replies.

Eventually they stop in the dining room, Scrooge and Huey on one side Dewey on the other. Scrooge tries to read the paper, while Huey tries to finish homework. Beakly comes in with food encouraging them both to talk to Dewey. Which they don’t.

Dewey makes the first move himself popping up in front of them on top of the table when they both look up.

Scrooge glancing at Huey: So, do children still like marbles? Huey shrugs Dewey: Are you really my uncle?! Huey: If he’s Donald’s uncle he’s your Great Uncle. Dewey: How old are you? Huey: That’s none of your business. Dewey: How come you never visit? Is because you’re so old? Huey: Becuase- Dewey: You owe me a lot of birthday present- Huey: He doesn’t owe you anything! Dewey: Are you his translator or something? I’m asking him not you.

The boys argue until Dewey brings up: Dewey: He used to be a big deal! I’m trying to find out what happened to him!!!

Scrooge begins to looses temper, slamming down a rolled up newspaper, making Huey flinch a tad, and calling for Beakly.

Both boys are escorted to Della’s old room.

Huey: He started it, why am I being punished? Scrooge: It’ll be good to have a friend your age.

Beakly gives them the bag of marbles, and Huey gives him warning of ‘we count them’.

While Huey sit down ready to play with the marbles, Dewey wants to escape.

Dewey: You live with the coolest duck in the world! How do you not wanna go explore the house and ditch this place. Huey: It’s better if we just sit down and wait it out. He’ll only get more mad. Dewey: We’re like cousins or something right? Let’s just go and-

The door creaks open slowly.

Dewey: What was that? Huey: Calm down it’s just-

Before he could explain they’re both lassoed out of the room.

The boys are tied up, hanging upside down. Dewey is panicing while Huey looks slightly amused.

Someone in the shadows greets them, using her ‘scary voice’

Webby: Who sent you? Was it Ma Beagle? Glomgold. Huey: Webby- Dewey: We’re sorry! Don’t hurt us please- You can hurt him he’s kind of a jerk by not me Uncle Scrooge locked- Webby: Uncle Scrooge!? Oh my gosh the nephew! She cuts them down, Huey dust himself off.

Huey: I forgot we were playing today, sorry. Webby: This is much better than playing captive and interrogator!!!! Huey do you know who this is? Huey: Donnie, right? Webby & Dewey: Dewey- Dewey: You know who I am? Webby: Of course researching Mr. McDuck and his family is kind of my hobby. What’s your blood type? What’s Donald really like-? Huey: He’s a traitor. Webby: Tell me everything!!!

Webby snaps a picture of Dewey, temporarily blinding him.

Dewey, while rubbing his eyes:..We live on a house boat and that’s kind of it. We’re a normal boring family. Webby: Normal? Boring? HA!

Webby kicks a volley ball right at them, Huey steps away, but not before giving Dewey a little push. The ball sends the world map up revealing Webby’s wall.

Webby: Dewey duck.

She pins the photo of Dewey next to the the one of a much younger Huey.

Webby: Scrooge McDucks great nephew on his sister Hortenses side with Quackmore Duck, twice removed!!! Dewey: And you are? Huey: Webby Vanderquack. Webby: My Grannies the housekeeper...WAIT does that make us friends? Huey: It doesn’t. He’s only here for the day. Dewey: Actually- I’d love to be your friend. And friends show friends what fun things there are to do at the manor! Webby: Of course! I’m the best at fun.

She lead him to the vents, where they both crawl into and away.

Huey: Fine you both can go and get into trouble more! See if I care…

He waits a little longer before crawling after them.

Huey: Someone has to watch you.

As they crawled through the vents Dewey hears Scrooge’s ‘Famy is nothing but trouble’ speech.

The reach the ‘room of secrets’ where both Huey and Webby try to show things off, however Dewey denies they’re even real once they reach the portrait of Donald and Scrooge on the pirate ship.

Dewey: Uncle Donald has never done anything cool. Webby: Donald Duck is one of the bravest adventurers of all time! Huey: One of the biggest traitors of all time!

Dewey: Don’t call him that and besides this is all fake!

Dewey denies any of the artifacts as real, making Huey argue they are. Both boys argue accidentally unleashing Captain Peghook, the headlessman horse, and the deus exalibur. Also ringing the gong twice.

Scrooge walks in promptly saving their butts, and lecturing them right after accidentally causing Dewey to ring the gong again and releasing the dragon.

The Dragon, however instead of being a gold eater in this version he hunts for the one who awakens him. However instead of going for Dewey it goes for Huey in the middle of Huey’s ‘I told you so’

As Huey is chased throughout the manor he’s asking why is it going after him if Dewey’s the one who woke it up.

Webby begins to explain that thought the dragon hunts the one who wakes it up, it has trouble deciphering between siblings, most of all twins.

Both boys are shocked by the news but can’t do anything about it until the dragon is down.

They manage to temporarily subdue the dragon, having a small conversation with Scrooge about being siblings. He doesn’t get to explain much more before the dragon escapes heading straight for the city.

Dewey: I mean if it’s not coming after me or Red anymore that’s good right? Huey: Yeah it’s not like it’s going to toward the CITY or anything. Scrooge: Aye, it must of caught your brothers scent. Huey & Dewey: BROTHER!?

Cut to a motorcycle swerving through the traffic in Duckburg while Louie is relaxing the side car. Grandma Duck smiles at him, assuring that it’ll only be a quick stop in the city.

However the shadow of the dragon cast on them, causing traffic to stop and both Grandma and Louie to look up. The dragon lands a few cars a head of them and roars going close and grabbing Louie from the side car.
