This is not talked about enough

What is this?

Well, it's a poster featuring Gosalyn and Drake Mallard/Darkwing Duck.

It's a poster of Darkwing Duck... presumably a promotional poster.

Now, like me, you may be wondering "Where did you find this?" And I'd answer with "Well, I found it on Twitter". Then you'd ask again "Where did OP find it?" And I'd answer with "Hm... I don't know"

I don't know. I don't know OP found it. I don't even know if it's real.

It could just be really well made fanart. But why would OP make fanart copying the DT17 style, have it printed out, pin it on their wall, and then post it to the internet all just to be bait? That sounds like... so much work for something that was barely talked about.

Oh yeah, I've also seen not that many people talk about online as well. Did it fail? Did it work and I just can't find any post talking about it? What is it?

Speaking of "not talking about it", let's say it is a promo poster. Where are articles discussing this? The Ducktales fan news sites would've eaten this up, where are their articles? Oh right, can't really find that either. The information regarding this poster is so scarce as well as coverage on it based on what I've seen.

I asked a cartoon server I'm in about the poster and one of the members said they heard it was featured in a video with Darkwing Ducks DT17 voice actor, Chris Diamantopoulos. Which, if that's true, I can't find the video either.

Now don't get me wrong, Frank Angones hase dropped a few winks when asked about the spin off, so that could be true who knows. Then there's also this from Gosalyn modern voice actress Stephanie Beatriz regarding the spin off.

So, was it real? Was there genuinely going to be a spin off taking place post Ducktales 2017? Was that a leaked poster revealing the truth? Again, who knows.

Now as you see in my previous paragraph, I used was, as is past tenses. Why does that matter? Well because it was apparently cancelled??

What?? So much for that I guess??

If you don't know who this person is, they're basically the person that "kickstarted" the whole leaked poster reveal in October 2021. They then tweeted yesterday that it's from a cancelled spin off miniseries. But, I don't believe them cause I don't even believe it's real. I'm not certain it's real cause of how not talked about it was.

I look at this whole thing and think of the SpongeBob mockumentary, Sponge out of Water, where it wasn't even real to begin with.

So is it real? Is it just bait? What is this and why has no one talked about it?

So, how do you think Frank Angones should've gone about interacting with fandom then for DuckTales (2017)? Do you think Matt Youngberg (the other co-creator of the show with just as much authority as Angones) was any better with fandom interaction and why?

When it comes Matt Youngberg I can't say because I personally didn't see by myself npr ever checked his accounts so I can't make up. But Frank Angones should have not been so immature with blocking accounts for not liking his shows (not harrassing him or even talking to him, just posting a review on their own accounts and he found them) and also openly showing support to some sides of the fandom and headcanons which, as harmless as it sounds and as much as I do believe he had good intents, can become very toxic and be used as an excuse for bullying from other fan to fans who do contracting stuff, and him not helping by replying or liking which gives them much power. Explained here

I have no problem with creators interacting with the fandom and answering questions. I do with participating like another fan when no, you can't, you need a certain distance for the long run. Think of Neil Gaiman who loves answering questions about Good Omens but did put a limit for some asks saying it was not of his resort to agree or not but fans to decide because headcanons and fanfics were meant for that. It's aknowledging you created a universe and giving keys all while allowing them to gove their takes. As well as accept some do not like and ignore, and some will like ships or headcanons that you didn't think of or don't like and will never be canon but you have to be neutral and let them have fun without dogpiling

Canon oldie Shar~💙

🤔original sketch by Matt Youngberg I guess (https://youtu.be/hcRBH3s4nUg?si=iLp80XDpQz87vk3o&t=131)

Okay, don't you think you're being harsh to think Dana Terrace is incapable of creating anything good and dreading it when she creates something? Like, the idea Owl House never should have existed (based on what that one anon said) is way too harsh and insulting to Dana.

Like come on, Dana's a pretty nice person. Heck, a lot of the people and creators who work at Disney TVA like Alex Hirsch, Matt Braly, Frank Angones, Matt Youngberg, Daron Nefcy, Chris Houghton, and Shane Houghton have nothing but nice things to say about her. Ditto with the rest of the Owl House cast and crew (a ship is more than its captain after all) being saying nothing but nice things about Dana.

And it's not like Dana's the only Disney TVA creator who has caused people to go against Disney. Alex Hirsch has badmouthed Disney several times (even making a Twitter post on how much Disney meddled with Gravity Falls), Matt Braly was frustrated with the last minute True Colors delay and expressed frustration with them here ( https://twitter.com/Radrappy/status/1746706435080323397), and Bill Motz has made comments on how Disney treated Molly McGee that worsened the opinion of how Disney treats their animated shows.

So I had considered saying that the ask did go a bit far in how angry it was at Dana. I mentioned that being unprofessional does not make you a bad person. Some of the actions are frustrating to me but I am not trying to say Dana is wrong for having made a product in such a flawed way. I am at least trying not judging her as a person, just as a creative. I also don't think TOH simply shouldn't have existed. It had plenty of good ideas but at the end of the day, its captain should be the one who is in charge of those ideas and making sure that they're focused on telling the story and staying consistent. Dana wrote Reaching Out, one of the episodes of the show that most destroys both character potential and the believability of the world. It's also not by any means the only episode with a main writing credit for her like that, such as The First Day. As a writer, I genuinely just don't get the impression she has the attention span to be leading such a large project, especially if she is going to complain about not having full control over it while also lacking more concrete ideas to what it is. When I say I am not interested in the next work Dana is the director for, I just mean director because these flaws in her style make me think that unless it's an anthology series, anything she makes is going to have me get frustrated by the work over time.

NOW as for the stuff about her being unprofessional: Time and context is HUGE here. Matt getting upset about True Colors leaks? The COMPANY is also going to be upset by them and while it might berate Disney for lack of security, it is a genuine fuck up on their part to do with his show and him lambasting the leaks also pushes the audience not to spread them. There's nothing unprofessional about that nor that might harm the show. Alex Hirsch released that video about the censor board for Disney on Gravity Falls YEARS after the fact (this also goes for the tweet that you quote from Matt which is literally two weeks ago, well over a year past when Amphibia ended). The show was already a success and a video like that might make Disney look a little silly but it won't harm how people see the product or trying to get into it. In fact, with the current state of things, it might actually be seen as a PR bump.

Meanwhile, Dana was shit talking her own show and blaming it on the company she CHOSE to work with regarding literally half of the content that was out at the time. Worse yet, the first half. The half that theoretically needs to sell you on the show. What is a new viewer supposed to think of that if they haven't seen the show? "Well, even if it gets good, even the creator admits the first half is at least underwhelming. I don't want to have to put up with half a season of subpar work just to get to the good stuff."

And as I said with Hirsch: How people feel about Disney, and how clearly Disney actually does want the rep in TOH to be a selling point for them (they immediately were willing to do Lumity marathons or have them featured on Disney+ for Pride Month, as well as Lumity being the only t-shirt released by Disney that wasn't of just The Owl House members or the logo), means that Dana getting upset about them for the homophobic acts in Florida probably was seen as at worst neutral. Buuuuut that shifts when she starts trying to accuse the treatment of their programming onto their homophobic ideas because suddenly part of the company's selling point on the show is being actively damaged by the creator. Worse yet, she is doing it as speculation rather than sticking to the reasons given by Disney. Feeding into people's anger about the company while eschewing responsibility for why the show was shortened like it was. This is admittedly less of a strong argument, I do still support her lambasting their homophobic politics, but it's a moment that has stuck with me for something I'll get into later.

This is also without getting into the fact that one interview with her specifically mentions her first response to the shortening being to end S2 on a massive cliffhanger and then just GTFOing on them, a statement that is going to make ANY production company start sweating about you as a creative they want to work with. After all, the crew and other creatives may love Dana... But what do actually publishers and people she has to clear this stuff with think of her? You know, the people who decide funding on these matters because that is just a part of the majority of animated work currently unless you somehow manage to get enough patrons to be able to go independent like Vivziepop with Helluva Boss.

All of this also gives the impression of someone who would rather blame other forces than learn. Honestly, one of the best things I've heard her say is that the shortening did push her creatively. Force her to make decisions and try harder. That gives me hope... But she spent so much of TOH complaining about corporate oversight or riling up her fans against the company who shortened her that... I don't know if she'll take that to heart. If she's going to treat this as a learning experience or if she'll double down. Again, one of the biggest regrets she has is not getting to do more Raeda, despite their one episode already being almost entirely pointless.

Even if she is a wonderful person, from a publisher's standpoint, she seems like a high risk gamble for honestly that incredible of numbers. Someone who might turn on you if you ever force a decision she doesn't like or push her too hard. That's not something a big corporation is going to want. It makes it sound a lot more like she's someone who indeed should just go independent if she really found working for Disney so rough.

I would love to be wrong though. I would love for her next work to be a knock out of the park. I just know that I'm probably going to pick it up AFTER it's done and I know it actually knew where it was going instead of just scrambling to put the tracks in front of it.

======+++++======

I will probably try just not to talk more about Dana as a creative because I REALLY don't like talking about the creators themselves instead of just judging the quality of their work. I genuinely wish Dana the best but... Man, after I've had so many people dismiss everything I've ever said about this show because of the shortening, or because Disney was too restrictive on LGBTQIA+ elements or because they forced Hexside onto Dana, ruining her plans, excuses Dana has herself pushed for the fans to use by using them herself...

It made learning just how little of any sort of plan she ever had so exhausting and infuriating, amplified by just how much this fandom screeches about TOH's unfair treatment when I don't see any of them going to bat for Molly McGee right now the same way. Not in my corners at least. Edit: I have been corrected that people are pretty mad for Molly McGee which good. They should be.

Hey Folks,

Of the many shows I have had the pleasure to work on, I always enjoyed Ben 10 and it's various spinoffs. Here is a sample of that goodness for an episode that featured Charmcaster the sinister sorceress. I developed her for the original Ben 10 series back in the day, so it was fun to get to freelance on designing her dragon metamorphosis for Ben 10 Omniverse. My heart felt thanks to both Derrick J. Wyatt and Matt Youngberg for inviting me to help out on their fine incarnation of that franchise!

Here we have the some of the rough designs for her dragon form. I like drawing beasties of all sorts, so this assignment was great fun to design.

Cheers!

Frank Angones quotes - Pt. 2

So, Feb. 12, 2020 was the date the episode 'Astro B.O.Y.D.' got screened before the production team to fully review for the first time (it aired on May 2nd). But I love that Frank got emotional over the hug between Gyro and Boyd when they saw the finished episode (and felt compelled to tweet about it that very day)!

And that scene made storyboard artist Sam King tear up back when she was only storyboarding it, which is so cool and shows that the emotional impact came through even in that early stage.

Also, in The Art of DuckTales, co-creator Matt Youngberg had this to say about the episode (he was referring to that scene):

Jason Zurek, the director of the episode, had this to say in Art of DuckTales:

Martin Freeman (77/366) DuckTales TV series (2017–2021)

Creator Francisco Angones Matt Youngberg

Executive producer Matt Youngberg and co-executive producer/story editor Francisco Angones: "DuckTales has always followed the adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his family, but arch-villains have families too. It was a real blast to have Martin Freeman guest star as Poe, Magica De Spell's delightfully evil brother. His cheerful, evil performance blended perfectly with Catherine Tate's exuberant menace to help us explore the true reason for Magica's hatred of Scrooge".

It's a shame that his participation was only during the penultimate chapter, for less than ten minutes.

I mean, the fandom knows the truth with WebLena (at least, we want to believe).

And the Journal was just confirming what we already know about how much the girls love each other (altho’ while we don’t have any written parts from Sasha in the book, we can see it in her actions regardless)

So, do you think Daron Nefcy was also pretty bad about interacting with fandom on Star vs the Forces of Evil? I mean considering all that drama on shipping caused by her endorsing and baiting fans on shipping, she doesn't have the best skills in fandom interaction either. Heck, there was her AMA where she tried to justify her horrid series finale.

Well like Matt Youngberg I never looked at her accounts so I can't say myself, really. However, I hate the conclusion of that show and her will to throw everything under the bus with chaotic plot holes and a drastic ending (2 WORLDS MERGING TOGETHER IMAGINE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS ESPECIALLT OF MAGIC-MADE CREATURES AND THE NEW WARS IT WOULD ENSUE) just so her selfinsert and her partner's would kiss which is a relationship she forced by depicting them as toxic to everyone they dated prior and made them unlikable and caused needless chaos and drama (AND NEEDLESS LIKE WHY INSRRTING SELF INSERTED ROLEPLAY ROMANCE ON 2 FRIENDS OUT OF NOWHERE) is appalling and proves she is not a competent writer in the end (which is sad since I loved the Meteora and Toffee arcs) so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that on social medias too she would push ships since it seems to be the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS FOR MOST CONTENT CREATORS AND MAKE THEIR FANS PRAISE THEM (coughcoughHBcoughcough) and can only imagine what she posted
