Thoughts, Yea Forums?

I thought I was going to hate Darkwing being only a television show in the Duckverse, but the way they're handling it thus far, even with losing Jim Cummings as Drake... I think I like it. I'm curious to see where things go from here. Is this Negaduck a new person (i.e. not a character from Jim Starling's show)? How will they handle the introduction of the rest of the Fearsome Five, since they were on the show?

id do something like jim decides to make his own fearsome 4 plus him to torment the new darkwing and uses existing tech to do it, throw a guy into the grow formula in the arctic for bushroot, something like gandras tech for megavolt, etc

Was Jim too expensive or is it because he got #metooed

The in-universe show ended with a doppelganger maybe they had plans but never were able to finish them?

Would he use random thugs or make the old actors go crazy like him?

What do you mean? Jim was in the episode

Jim was in the episode. They've recast all the old Ducktales cast, they probably just did the same here for someone who was more readily available to potentially lead a new series.

Also forgot to mention, do you not know how non-South Park cartoons get made? This would have been made well before there was any controversy.

Jim is old you dumbass, he's 66 and probably doesnt want to be hauled into voice acting long term again.
Voice acting strains your throat, and him not wanting to VA 24/7 anymore makes sense.

They teased Liquidator at least. He's on the poster that Launchpad hides in front of before breaking into Drake's trailer.

Well, yeah, sure, Liquidator, Megavolt, and Quackerjack were all seen in an episode of Darkwing the first time he's mentioned in DuckTales. Presumably Bushroot was on the show as well. The question is, was Negaduck also a character on the show, or is he a brand new, real-life villain?

he along with quackerjack and megavolt have been shown to be on Starling's show
youtube.com/watch?v=rb6gBFum6qo

This episode was fucking great. Not just because it was quite possibly an homage to The Gray Ghost, but the meta jokes were spot on with regard to the Darkwing and Ducktales fandoms: the shows might not be perfect, but the people involved really do love them and are trying their best to make something memorable for a new generation. (Despite possible corporate interference?)

Those were all actors playing parts. Just like Jim Starling isn't Drake Mallard, I'm sure that Liquidator isn't Bud Flood. But that guy on the watercooler poster probably is.

Yeah, but the ending hinted at a REAL Darkwing thats not just a show. Which I hope to GOD, they give Darkwing a new rogues gallery

I loved all the slams against grimdark superhero reboots and how the Darkwing Duck Movie was essentially the Nolan trilogy, complete with Bane-Megavolt.

And Bushroot was shown in Drake's recollection of the show.

Oh, sure, Darkwing definitely needs some new villains. But if the Fearsome Five (individually and together) aren't one of his main threats, that'll definitely be disappointing.

Negaduck is probably the first "real-life" villain for Drake.

>hurr durr anyone who doesn't suck mouse dick is a bot
neck yourself mouse shill. everyone's sick of your bullshit reboots

Yeah, it keeps mentioning star wars for some reason?

I'm just curious as to what direction they'll be taking Negaduck in. Yeah, sure, he'll obviously be a bad guy. But Launchpad's speech and Drake's "Well, yeah... He's your biggest fan" honestly seemed to touch him and he did go out in a heroic sacrifice. Will Drake ever attempt to redeem him?

NegaDuck cause a reality warp to eliminate Darkwing once and for all but because ideas never die he just became a TV show.

I think I figured it out, it gets triggered by key words. It's not even paying attention to what any of the posts say. Usually it has generic phrases like "neck yourself", "hurr durr" and makes references to sucking dick a lot.

Go home, you're drunk. If the NuWars was handled with as much respect at Ducktales (Filoni excluded), then we'd be in a better spot of fandom

Yeah, I noticed that. I didn't even give him a reply and he responded to me mentioning the shit. Pretty advanced bot cause it posts pictures too.

Probably will try but Jim will say something like "Jim is dead" and reject Drakes offer.

he might try to go after launchpad in a twisted way to "protect" him since he thinks Drake put Launchpad in danger.

So Jim obviously had some loose screws even before getting zapped, I wonder if he had some brain damage from all of those years of doing his own stunts. Does Jim have CTE?

I could see him doing that and ironically still be inspiring and teaching Darkwing how to be a better hero.

Probably, especially when he finds out who Negaduck is. One good thing about this new origin is that he doesn't need to be definitively the evil opposite of Darkwing, so they can really play around with how far gone he really is or if there is some decency left in him.

Because Webby's underage.

WEBBY IS LITERALLY LIKE 9 YEARS OLD
LENA IS LIKE 15

while it is not Jim, Drake seems to have a crack in his skull. though he was hit by a falling piano. Ducks can take quite a lot of abuse.

Here are the 3 most likely options for the Fearsome Five
>1. Drake being a real life Darkwing inspires copycat criminals who base themselves on the villains from the show
>2. Magic causes fictional characters to become real
>3. Negaduck persuades the actors from the show to be villains irl like him

I'm gonna reboot my foot in your ass you goddamn commie.

She'll probably have some lingering trauma left over from 15 years worth of abuse from Magica

He made another thread

I want there to be a Megavolt he was a great villain.

I read that in their original voices.

Jim and Drake are probably the two ducks Frank Angones was hinting at that can take more punishment than Donald and Della, so probably not. Then again, Jim taking so many hits in the later seasons of his show might become a plot point.

That seems likely to happen. Drake and Launchpad being really huge fans could make trivia useful against Negaduck.

He said only only two ducks can take more punishment than Donald and Della, and they weren't Glomgold and Scrooge. They're probably gonna take all sorts of damage once they become active.

I just realized Drake makes the same motion as Rockerduck tried to attempt with Scrooge in the wild west: Queensbury rules?

Also cheaper.

What if they use different options for each one?

>or is it because he got #metooed
The fuck happened?! Is no one safe?

He got accused of domestic abuse, I think it was? But apparently his wife is batshit crazy and he's been found innocent of the charges.

He's a bitter old man who had one good thing in his life: being Darkwing Duck on TV. When that's taken away from him he snaps.

He's going to abort Drake's babies?

I like the idea that some of them might have their powers already, even being supervillains, and Negaduck just convinces them to take up the identities.

I kinda hope they still find a way to make Megavolt Darkwing's other archenemy and public enemy no 3.
He wasn't the biggest threat but he was reliably always there, causing trouble.

Shit, if there's any character they stick close too, it's Megavolt. His personality is too hilarious too mess with.

It could even be a good excuse not to always invent excuses for Lena not being around, considering otherwise she'd be living in the McDuck Mansion.

>otherwise she'd be living in the McDuck Mansion
why not? you think Scrooge is going to make her pay rent?

Nah I just think there already are so many characters, it could benefit the general the plot to move them around so your audience doesn't start to ask themselves "where is character X, doesn't he live here?" everytime someone isn't on screen

What if we get a new Fearsome Five, with Negaduck, Glomgold, Magica, maybe one of the original crew, maybe a new villain, etc.?

What if they manage to make the Megavolt's tronsplitter and use it on Negaduck, thus combining the first and second Negaducks as one.

How would they even do characters like Morgana?

A distant cousin of Magica De Spell?

Yes
It's the best (and arguably only good) part of the show

I just want a Darkwing spinoff already.

The only other thing to theorize is how they will wrap up the Moonlander's invasion, the Scrooge/Glomgold bet, and how Donald will get back from the moon.

There being a family is at least a reason for Magica to want to end his

He's ok, the Judge threw it out or something.
His ex made a bunch of shit up for their custody hearing.

Like in ancient Scotland a McDuck slayed a DeSpell for witchcraft, and so ending his family will yield a wellspring of magic

I fucking love everything about this episode. The meta commentary about reboots in general, the Darkwing Duck references, the new origins for Darkwing Duck and NegaDuck, Jim coming back... I don't really have time to watch Ducktales these days, but god damn, this episode is brilliant on so many levels. My one nitpick is that Drake felt a little bland, but I feel like that could easily be fixed by just having another episode, plus he's fine as the new Darkwing and I'd be happy with him being the new DW.

Something had to start that "centuries-old blood feud".

>That fat bully in the flashback
Is it just me, or did he look really familiar? Almost like Darkwing's fat neighbour.

I kinda think that might've been their intention, especially when you remember the original Herb Muddlefoot also has a son who's a bully.

Darkwing, Gizmoduck, Morgana, Duck Avenger, and Wildwing = The new Justice Ducks, with Scrooge as their Nick Fury.

He kind of already is. Drake represents Darkwing's heroic nature, while Jim is Darkwing's ego run amok.

Fund it.
The closest you'll ever get was when a beagle boy had a duck shaped mask and hockey stick.
What does WW bring to the table?

He's a hockey-playing superhero from another planet. What DOESN'T he bring to the table? Besides, it'd be another fun Disney Afternoon/Disney in general reference for the show to throw in, which they love.

Probably the most likely way to go about is to have them as an elite team of specialized SHUSH agents, with Tanya being a brickhouse because she was trained by Beakley.

Sure he's goalie and a good leader, but needs a niche. Tech's already covered by Gizmoduck's suit and it's not like he can bring his blaster. His mask could prove useful, but could easily be seen as extra next to Morgana's magical detection spells.

But two of those aren't even ducks. That's false advertisement!

The original Justice Ducks had a fucking fish on the team.

You're a real one

In-universe Darkwing Duck is an old TV show that's getting a new movie reboot. The "actor" who played the original Darkwing didn't get the part in the reboot and he isn't taking the news well. Basically imagine if Adam West decided he wanted to murder Michael Keaton so that only he could play Batman.

He's an in-universe tv show character form Launchpad's favorite tv show, played by an actor named Jim Starling. Jim later goes crazy because they make a reboot without him, he fights his replacement and loses, becoming Negaduck. His replacement turned out the be this world's Drake Mallard who was a fan of the in-universe Darkwing show.

To add to this, Jim Starling aka "classic" Darkwing (who then becomes Negaduck) is still voiced by Jim Cummings.

I've heard lots of lousy things about this reboot, but the way they're handling this sounds really clever

Watching the end of the episode again, considering how many Batman jabs the episode had, I can't help but think Negaduck's final line shoulda been:
>"They want grim and gritty, huh? Wait'll they get a load of me."
It even fits the animation.

It's easily the best episode of the series. I mean that's not saying much since the show's pretty dull, but I'd legit watch a Darkwing spinoff with this premise.

This is considered by quite a few people as the best moment of the series but especially the first good cross-series cameo they did. The others are insanely bad in interpreting the source material

Dag. What have they botched so far?

Jim Cummings won his court battle against his ex wife.

Specifically Talespin and the Caballeros episodes
I do quite like season 2 as a whole for the most part though if you haven't watched much of it

>Talespin and the Caballeros episodes
oh god what did they do?

Just by the publicity photos, she looks like a spoiled shallow cunt. What was Jim thinking on marrying her? Unless she is bipolar or he was just blinded by infatuation. Never marry if you become famous.

Attached: Jim-Cummings-Stephanie 1.jpg (864x1152, 307K)

Her mouth/smile scares me.

Talespin was only ruining Don Karnage, but they made him into literally a joke and no one talks about it because it was that bad. He wasn't even voiced by Jim Cummings
The Cabs episode came after the recent series was leaked so it already had tough expectations. They went with a "lying about your life after college" episode, which was insanely weak to most. The fact they lied, got angry then entirely broke off their relationship with Donald (until they admitted at least) really pissed off the diehards who see that as the one rule you don't break

>Don Karnage
Yeah, the fact that they gave him a proper Spanish accent instead of keeping his Ricky Ricardo voice is bullshit.
>The Caballeros kick Donald out of the Caballeros
FUCKING WHAT

In the second pic she makes me think of a line from MST3K (from the Space Mutiny episode, I think): "I WISH MY FACE COULD BE TIGHTER."

Maybe they can pretty it as an 'innocent' crush
Hell, they nearly go that way with Webby and Scrooge
>Considering she's a lot younger than Lena Lena's might be not so innocent

Is that why he did an entire audio book as Hondo?

Yeah it was nuts. People were expecting the never-ruined friendship triumphing all with them being pure like we expect from all media with them beforehand. Then we get Donald being unfriended by them because he doesn't want to play a concert in some random ass town (being he lied he could sing) and Jose smashing a guitar in his head

I lied, it was his umbrella but still

you also forgot the part where they made up before the end in time to use their terrible singing to kill the plant monster of the week.

They didn’t kick him out, it was a standard lying about being successful at a high school reunion type episode. All three of them lied to eachother and made up in the end.

They did kick him out of their friend group for a minute
Enough to literally be the opposite of what they are about

It's not like the original DW wasn't far superior to the original DuckTales in both originality, execution, animation and humor.

Thought they mentioned there was magic defense people on the payroll in an early episode

Yeah the vultures mentioned it, regarding Scrooge’s spending.

You guys should give it a rest arguing about the Caballeros episode. It's never going to satisfy both parties because it's a fundamental difference of expectations. The crowd who liked the episode were content with a story about a real friendship, whereas the crowd that didn't like it wanted a story about true friendship.
Since true friendships aren't real, it was one or the other and a "true friendship is worth more than money" isn't a realistic moral, the trinity would never fit into the show's format as originally conceived.
Perhaps it was foolish to make a Three Caballeros episode in the first place. You're not going to get an episode depicting unconditional friendship in this series, it just won't fit.

>You're not going to get an episode depicting unconditional friendship in this series, it just won't fit.
Yeah Ducktales is basically the HYMIM of kid cartoons. The Caballeros represent a completely different view on friendship, fraternity and fortune. It makes about as much sense to include them as Papirinik.

>Since true friendships aren't real

Attached: 1487783084618.png (626x626, 134K)

It's not bait.
Mileage may vary but the classical Three Musketeers archetype, one for all and all for one, is very much a work of fiction. Friendships in the real world are conditional or motivated by common interests or goals. A true friendship, much like a true love, is an element of imagination that adds complexity to our lives, but does not lie on the real axis.

>Since true friendships aren't real
Really? They are rare, but to think they don't exist and that people would solely be guided by monetary value is very pessimistic. Not everyone is going to dump a friendship when it suits them, it takes some pure-hearted people to do it but it's possible. And like it or not that's who these characters are in essence

With Darkwing and especially Negaduck looking so faithful, you guys don't think there's any chance they'll redesign any of the classic DW villains... do you?

Attached: Megavolt.png (644x509, 340K)

I think they meant ideal friendship.

I don't think it was a bad idea for them to try, but like all the other things Ducktales tries to adapt, the expectations are widely different, beyond how their friendship is portrayed. I wouldn't be surprised if people thought Jose having a job at all was heresy. It was clear this adaption was inspired more from the film than anything else, and in that case, the choices there make sense.

The original Justice Ducks had Stagnut and that fish lady, so really it's just for branding.

Not solely monetary value but always external factors, like common hobbies or goals. And the way people who hate the scene with the argument interpret it are basically equating an argument as an immediate break-up or betrayal, meaning that if we adhere to the standard that a true friendship will never have misunderstandings or arguments or conflicts and that any of such are to be considered betrayals, then that is a VERY high standard to which you could never hold an actual live person.
>And like it or not that's who these characters are in essence
Yes they are allowed to be that, because they're fictional. There's no objective higher value to making a story about a real friendship i.e. occasional lies, misunderstandings, arguments nor about a fantastical, perfect friendships for the sake of pure fantasy. And I agree that the Caballeros represent the latter, and there's nothing wrong with that, there's certainly a place in the thoughtscape for the idea of a perfect true unconditional friendship. But as that is what they do represent, it isn't right to place them in Ducktales, which deliberately avoids that level of fantasy to instead focus on more flawed relationships.
The Three Caballeros as their essence would conflict with the rest of the show.

Wasn’t Stegmut originally a duck?

Why would you want to get rid of Negaduck?

He was, I don't remember if he had his own episode but it's stated out loud in Just Us Justice Ducks.

I think I hate you

To be fair, wasn't Negaduck "killed off" a few times in the original series (and in the comics) and he always showed back up?

I think he was in the same episode with Dr. Fossil, the pterodactyl villain.

No one really cared that they were portrayed as losers and definitely that he actually has a job (which really is not a loser job). Fans are pretty relaxed on those aspects

>I think they meant ideal friendship
That's what I got from it too. Ideal friendships are unshakeable, in the real world friendships have some give-and-take, and compromise, and sooner or later will have rocky periods.

Guys? What if this new Negaduck doesn't want to stop at just five? What if he forms the Fearsome Thirteen, or something?

>tfw want Jim to be redeemed but know the entire point of Negaduck is to be irredeemable evil

Guys a thought just hit me like a train.
Della is literally an adult Gosalyn. Even her dialect is similar.

>Negaduck, Megavolt, Bushroot, Quackerjack, Liquidator, Steelbeak, Taurus Bulba, Tuskernini, Ammonia Pine, Moliarty, Dr. Fossil, Splatter Phoenix, Madam Matronic, Fluffy...

>Negaduck creates a Fearsome Army out of all the supervillains
>Leaves out Dr. Slug because he took the #1 most wanted criminal spot

>Loves how Dr. Slug was Public Enemy #1 and apparently Darkwing's greatest nemesis but we never see them fighting.

Also
>Lilliput, Jambalaya Jake, Isis Vanderchill, and if we include the comics, Chronoduck and Suff-Rage.

Holy fuck, this episode was amazing

I keep watching Launchpad's speech up to Jim's sacrifice, then skipping to the Negaduck reveal. It hasn't failed to give me emotional nostalgia chills.

I've been watching the series and browsing the archives for ducktales threads for this season and I've come to a conclusion.
The show would be a lot better if it was 45 minute episodes instead of 22 so that every scene can be twice as long to take things twice as slow so that nothing would be too fast for Yea Forums, there would be twice as much Donald, twice as much Scrooge, twice as much Glomgold and twice as much time spent on every plot point and character interaction.
Prove me wrong.

Dumb idiot just watch the episodes at 0.5x speed you retard.

We'd still have the same amount of all of those, we'd just have half the episodes.
Glomgold is complete shit too, more of him would be a living hell, just get rid of the cunt and give me eight times the Darkwing.

Source?

Ducktales kind of suck. They could use better writing and less left leaning writers

Now, the real question: Will Negaduck remain a villain through and through for the entirety of his run on the show(s)? Or will his final episode end with a Darth Vader-style "there is still good in him" parallel bookend sacrifice?

Frankly, Duck Avenger cannot work in the new DT continuity.
Donald here hasn't been abused enough

though they COULD use Phantomius, or at least him having existed, quite easily
an episode set in the '20s like Phantomious' own series would be interesting

>implying he hasn't been fucked over several times
Everyone treats him like shit and refuses to take him seriously unless there's something they want out of it.

If you could pick only two other villains and two other heroes / non-villains to bring over from DW into the Ducktales reboot universe, which ones would you pick?

There's way too bloated of a character roster that even an hour worth of episodes might not fix it

>have them as an elite team of specialized SHUSH agents, with Tanya being a brickhouse because she was trained by Beakley.
God I wish this could happen.

You guys weren't kidding. This episode was great. Aside from the dude being convinced to do the hero job full time. That seemed silly. Unless this version of Ducktales has regular crime in its universe.

>Unless this version of Ducktales has regular crime in its universe.
It absolutely does.

It was good shit. Looking forward to more.

>It's not like the original DW wasn't far superior to the original DuckTales in both originality, execution, animation and humor.
You can't actually believe that anything in the original DuckTales besides Scrooge and Magicka is better.

What about Taurus Bulba?

You know we need Taurus Bulba.

Your art sucks, fuck off

Hollywood is still a boys club where sexist men help out sexist men. No one is ever actually punished for their crimes.

Jeez, you must be tons of fun at all those parties nobody invites you to.

But what about Taurus Bulba?

I hate everything about this.

Fuck this

Seriously fuck this

There are already super villains.

but that's Gizmo's villain
you can't just go around and fight villains which aren't in your rogues gallery

I didn't even know they were making one. How is it?

Good thing he was talking about DARKWING and not DUCKTALES then right?

The original does a better job of showing off how incredibly cheap Scrooge is. 2017 Scrooge spends money all the time, 87 Scrooge would never buy a single pizza since that is a waste.

He's still cheap, like using the same tea bag for a whole month

But he's willing to spend money to protect his money. Like the magical defenses for the Bin, or when he put out a $2 million bounty out on whoever took his 87¢

You're a big duck

>One of the characters eventually name drops him as Negaduck
>Cue Jim manically cackling and begins to refer to himself as Negaduck.

Taurus Bulba is not Dr Slug.

If he has to he can replaced Negaduck.

That guy's fetish for cute ducks has left a mark

>That guy's
Which guy?
