Hot take:
Donald should have been Scrooge's successor in the finale, and the whole thing should have been everyone assuming it's Della because why wouldn't it be? She's adventurous and unstoppable and is very much like Scrooge, and to an outsider it would be clear just who would be the next Scrooge McDuck. It would not be in any way the grumpy reluctant one.
And you know what? If we're keeping the Webby twist, Webby could have been Della's clone. Because if you can't get a hold of Della for long enough, then her child would work just as well. (Obviously they cant get the triplets either)
But it's not Della. That's why her sons cant find the Papyrus. That's why they haven't found it with May and June. And they don't find it with Webby.
It's Donald who finds it. It's Donald who is the successor to Scrooge.
And this would work better plotwise because it's a huge shift from the first episode.
The show begins with the mystery of Donald and Scrooge's relationship. It begins with the two completely estranged. To end it with the direct contrast, Donald being Scrooge's successor, would be a neat contrast to the start. It subverts expectations too. And also, it means in a way Donald finally wins. Donald, who everyone dismisses and makes fun of and is obviously underappreciated, Donald is now IMPORTANT, and not just that but he always WAS to Scrooge. Even though he's nothing like him on the surface, he was the one Scrooge chose. And it even could have been because Donald seems so different to Scrooge, too.
Anyway that's my hot take Duckblr. I have built this hill and I shall die here

The Pros and Cons of the DuckTales Series Finale (Spoilers!)
So I watched the 90-part finale of DuckTales, “The Last Adventure”, back in March of last year and I do gotta say, it was indeed a spectacular ending to the most beloved reboot series and to me, it does play out more like a TV movie than a special. Which is why I made a pros and cons list about the finale.
Warning: Spoilers for those who hasn’t either finished the series or hasn’t watched it yet.
PROS
The three part finale actually did managed to wrap up almost every story arcs and mysteries that the third season had to put out.
We actually got an appearance of Daisy’s nieces in the form of clones by FOWL. May and June are really interesting characters in their own rights.
The fact that Webby confirmed as a clone/ daughter of Scrooge McDuck instead of being the granddaughter of Mrs. Beakley. Plus her true name is also April McDuck.
Ludwig von Drake is alive and the reason why he didn’t pass away is because he said that “he didn’t have the time.”
The fight scenes are really well animated.
Seeing Darkwing Duck and Gizmoduck fighting against Steelbeak is really outstanding.
Some of the comedic-parts of the special are really funny, like when Magica turned Bradford Buzzard into an actual bird.
We got to see all of the characters throughout the series in either cameos or just plain background silhouettes.
Manny the Headless Man-Horse is actually a gargoyle who is voiced by Keith David.
It’s really sweet to see Donald and Daisy adopt May and June as their own kids.
The end credits scene is really beautiful to watch.
CONS
We didn’t get to see what happened to Hortense and Quackmore Duck, the parents of Donald and Della Duck.
The whereabouts of Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s father is still unknown.
The Terrafirmians from the episode, “Terror of the Terrafirmians” didn’t make an appearance in the finale.
With the exception of that melon in Moonvasion, we still didn’t get a Mickey Mouse cameo.
Negaduck didn’t appear in the finale.
That’s all I have for today.

yk what wouldve been a better plot for the last adventure? if webby and the boys got the papyrus to reveal itself. Webby is family and a heir to Scrooge McDuck, even if she isnt blood related, so if the producers were so set on Webby revealing the papyrus, it would've done nicely. Or something of the sort to tie off the found family plot that ran with Webby instead of forcing her into being related to them. It ruined Scrooge and Webby moments for me because instead of it being cute, her getting accepted into the family and loved, its now , "haha clone baby"
