This show is better than it deserved to be

The showrunner of the Ducktales reboot has constantly said this isn't the last of DW we have seen and there is something bigger planned.

So who knows.

That'd be an interesting angle for a new DWD

>Jim Starling, washed-up actor, having a mid-life crisis as his ego and refusal to let stuntman do his work stops him for getting new roles.
>Fearing he'll get forgotten alongside his show he gets the wacky idea of dressing up as DW to promote himself and gain public interest in a reboot of his show.
>In doing so and bumbling around he ends up thwarting a kidnapping crime in progress.
>Turns out the person that was being kidnapped was none of the than Gosalyn, who was being taken due to her connection to her late scientist grandfather, like the episode of the original show.
>DW keeps her at his house for now but is constantly trying to object he has no time for babysitting as he is only focused on getting people's attention to reboot his show.
>However the criminals keep on attempting to kidnap Gosalyn and, as they deal with them, she and DW start to bond (Maybe DW didn't have the best of parents, being a child tv star, and so sees a bit of him in Gosalyn)
>As the episode unfolds, the two end up stopping the criminals for good and DW realizes he does have the chops to actually be a superhero for reals.
>As such he decides to adopt Gosalyn and move to a more suburban area, as well as starting to go by her real name of Drake Mallard (Jim Starling being his tv star pseudo-name)

DW/Drake was never stupid, just a fucking egotistical asshole and thinking you're hot shit all the time makes you foolhardy because you're overconfident. Leading to no common sense, but I wouldn't call it stupidity. I think Tad Stones the show creator also said when DW finally learned whatever moral lesson he had to, things went his way.
In a way I like the character Darkwing a lot less than I did as a kid because he really is a dick, but I'd never say he was stupid. Actually, in a way I like DWD as a show though more than House and a lot of the characters Sherlock plays because it showed that being an asshole with a big ego, even if there are things to back it up, can actually get in the way of your goals. When you do come across something you don't know, you either don't recognize you don't know it or pretend you do know what you're doing, same goes for things you can't do alone, you don't collaborate or ask for help even when it makes sense, you're hard to work with and alienate people. Yes some people are lucky enough they can get away with that but only if they're in certain rare situations where failure or pissing everyone off doesn't matter.

I still want that Darkwing/Duck Avenger crossover

My idea was that actor Jim Starling would pass on the identity to a former S.H.U.S.H. agent named Drake Mallard who got fired for being a cowboy cop.

Starling would basically act as Mallard's Alfred, then later they take in Gosalyn who becomes like his Robin.

An action figure of the character Quackerjack from the old show is brought to life in a freak accident, and he creates an army of toys to attack the company behind the Whiffle Boy video game series, which he blames for the show's decline in popularity.

The actor who played Liquidator on the show was an actual water elemental. After the show was cancelled, the only acting jobs he could get were commercials. His frustration with his dead end career drove him mad, and now he can only speak in advertising quotes.

McDuck Engineering employee Elmo Sputterspark is secretly obsessed with the show. When he sees the new Darkwing on TV news, he steals the Megavolt costume from the studio warehouse and modifies it to give him actual electrical powers.

I've put way too much thought into this.

For what purpose?

>I want a reboot where the actor who played DWD decides to be a real hero.
What bothers me with this idea is that you'd have to tie all the villains back to the show, rather than give them individual interesting backstories of their own.

>Still thinking about IDW and not the superior JOE Books run.

Disappoint.

>tried to reach out to Quackerjack
>Seemingly redeemed Bushroot
Makes me wonder if they where intentionally trying to build BTAS like relationships between Darkwing and his Rouge's Gallery.

Even if not, i think it's a neat idea and a suitable character arc.
Having DW starting off in it purely for self-centered reasons, then doing it for his immediate circle like Gosalyn and Launchpad, then accepting the Justice Ducks, and then developing empathy for those his enemies.

I feel like if Darkwing was made in 2019 it would just be a repeat of Inspector Gadget storytelling. With Darkwing being an ineffective idiot that stumbles into the wrong guy thinking they are a supervillain while Gosalyn is hyper intelligent and super capable and she takes down each and every villain. Leaving Darkwing to assume he did it all.

I think only Darkwing and Ducktales were connected before.

>Based. The IDW comic was pretty bland though. Good art but terrible writing.

Sparrow's rewrite of the IDW issues he didn't do for the Definitively Dangerous Edition turned them around, and Silvani redrew some of the uglier panels in that version, too. And the entire Joe Books run that followed up on the IDW series (minus Dangerous Currency) was great. Only downside is that none of the plot threads are resolved and everybody's left in a pretty fucked status (Dangerous Currency was a slapdash ending when it was published, but it at least resolved all the lingering plot points).
