Can we stop with this bullshit already? I can kinda understand jumping to this conclusion based on what little we were shown in promotional material, but there's no excuse for this now that we've seen the pilot. There's pretty much only two arguments that have been made as to why she's a Mabel clone, and they're both bullshit:
>She's voiced by Kristen Schaal! She's not voiced by Kristen Schaal. I suppose Kate Micucci's child duck voice sounds vaguely similar, but eh.
>She even has the grappling hook! Because the fucking grappling hook was SUCH a defining character trait for Mabel, right? How many times did she use it, like two or three?
And it's SUCH a defining character trait for Webby, right? How many times has she used it so far? Oh yeah... fucking ZERO.
Can we please, for the love of duckfuck, STOP making this retarded argument every damn time DuckTales gets discussed? Thank you.
Dewey and Launchpad are more similar to Dipper and Soos than Webby is to Mabel
Justin Johnson
who are you talking too?
Michael Jones
She's a duck version of Jade.
Christopher Ortiz
Was she an original or did they shove her in purely for progression?
Also, mable character or not, she's still annoyingly spunky. Just like Star and Mable ;). I'm serious though. Can Ducktales just get rid of her/make her a side character?
Thomas Rogers
The people that call Webby duck Mabel would be my guess. OP was pretty clear on that.
Connor Morales
They ruined Launchpad! What's next: ruining Darkwing Duck?!
Mason Reed
>Was she an original or did they shove her in purely for progression? She was an original character to the first DuckTales series. She is so radically different in the new one though, that she may as well be a new character altogether.
Cooper Russell
Webby was in the original series
Aiden Brooks
Apparently Dewey and Webby will be the main kids with Louie and Huey as those guys. I think Sup Forums kinda like her because they expect pedo vibes between her and Donald
Jaxon Bell
I might start doing that just to piss you off OP
Jace Gomez
Girly personality or adventurous personality, she is still the token girl who exists purely because the cast isn't allowed to be all boys. I find it strange that the people working in this think they had to retool her personality completely to make her more "acceptable" as a female character as if that somehow wouldn't make her less of the token girl.
They should have just gotten rid of her entirely since few people remembered her from the original anyway. She's just one more mouth to spout dialogue in what is already a bloated cast trying to share a 22-minute spotlight.
Charles Lopez
I'm not happy with the posibility of Dewey whining on every episode like Dipper used to
Colton Garcia
>I find it strange that the people working in this think they had to retool her personality completely to make her more "acceptable" as a female character as if that somehow wouldn't make her less of the token girl.
I think it was less that the new version of her character is a more "acceptable" representation of girls and more that literally everyone fucking hated the original Webby.
Hunter Johnson
She was in the original show and I can sure you she was far worse in those.
Lincoln Robinson
>Girly personality or adventurous personality, she is still the token girl who exists purely because the cast isn't allowed to be all boys Stay cucked, murrica
Luke Rivera
Stop mable-posting.
Ian Cruz
I prefer young female characters to get with their young male counterparts. I don't like the adult male/young female dynamic. Not because its creepy or any triggered tumblr bullshit like that, it just tends to be less cute and fun
Ethan Jackson
99% of Saint Seiya revolves around Athena.
Ayden Hughes
Cut Jason Ritter some slack, his acting resume has Swimfan and Freddy vs Jason.
Josiah Campbell
>similar voice >similar personality I see the differences but you can't ignore similarities
Ian Morgan
Fuck you Dipper was the best
Luis Ramirez
What are those similarities, exactly?
Gavin Wilson
As an inspiration, courtly love at best. At first, Kurumada didn't plan to make Athena even a character, just a spirit that encourage the saints during theirt trials. There are very few female saints and they don't interfere with the bromance
Dominic Hernandez
Greenhair looks like he just as easily been the token girl without changing much of anything.
Jace Cook
>more that literally everyone fucking hated the original Webby.
No one really gave a shit about Webby. No one cared about any of the kids, really. They were always the worst aspect in Ducktales. They could have kept the girly girl aspect of her but bumped it up to make it comical, Loud House did it. But they didn't, they revamped her entirely to the point where the only similarity she has with the original is the name "Webby". Now she's just like every other quirky girl character we have in a lot of shows. In their efforts to make her stand out, they ironically made her just as generic. She may as well be Star Butterfly without the magic.
Adrian Gray
Not just an inspiration. As the driving factor of the series. They have to rescue her in every arc. Even then Shun may as well be a girl. He's incredibly strong but always jobs so big brother Ikki can come and save him. He cries for Ikki all the time too.
He pretty much is a girl.
Isaiah Kelly
>bromance Welp, good to know I can continue to never ever watch Saint Seiya. Bromance is cancerous bullshit that reeks of two guys being gay as hell for each other while deeply in denial. And I've got no patience for characters with a case of the not-gays.
And no, I don't care if you were just using that word as a general term for male friendship. Don't do that. Words mean things, dipshit.
Noah Brooks
This is extra retarded because LEGO saw they weren't hitting big sales numbers with girls and had many attempts in trying to remedy that and kept failing. LEGO Friend is one of the few successes they've had with the market.
So fuck your mismatched pieces, girls want girly LEGOs. This is like when people get mad at STEM fields for not having enough women as if it's their fault.
Luke Williams
Why so her role during adventures could still be use cuteness to make a friend and then that friend saves the day for her? Cause thats all she ever did really. I'm fine with her doing flip kicks instead, because the power of charming animals and guest stars by being cute and defenseless is boring.
Luis Lee
>No one cared about any of the kids, really. They were always the worst aspect in Ducktales. It was literally called "The Adventures of Huey Dewey and Louie" in some countries. Believe me, kids who watched DuckTales when it first aired, cared about the kids.
Robert Turner
Do you think it's impossible for a character to have the power of cuteness but still be an ass-kicker?
James Parker
Great, knock yourself out. Just know that I won't be friends with you.
Joseph Miller
>mismatched pieces Then just buy those instead of getting triggered over sets for little girls, you baby.
Michael Phillips
>webby is a gravity falls character this meme needs to erased
Julian Rodriguez
This guy gets it.
William Collins
Nope, but helplessness was part of the original Webby package, and the biggest things changed about her are she can fight and she's socially inept. The show is still young, she may yet have a lot of cute moments. As you so aptly put: One can kick ass and still be cute.
I think her being dense is a plus in that regard to be honest
Anthony Diaz
I think I liked Huey Dewey and Louie, but I recall liking Launchpad the most (and hating Doofus). I was neutral toward Webby I think. Bout 11 at the time, maybe a little younger.
Asher Davis
>This is like when people get mad at STEM fields for not having enough women as if it's their fault. If STEM fields had good people working in them, it'd be 50-50 male-female, just like if LEGO had good people working for them, they'd have gender-neutral toys. Passing judgement is easy when your remove the benefit of the doubt.
Jace Martin
The pilot seems to be the Dewey focus episode. The next looks like it'll be Webby's and Louie's will be after. I'm guessing we won't have to deal with as much Dewey focus until later.
Austin Jackson
they have good people working in them thats whey they are mostly male
Jose Harris
Your passion for a kids cartoon is evident, user. God speed to ya.
Daniel Rogers
Dewey and Webby will be doing the side plot during Louie's episode. I'm guessing the episode before that will have Huey do something characteristic of him as well. Most insight we've gotten into Huey so far was trying to give everyone matching shirts.
Jaxson Sanchez
Come on really? Where do you think you are?
Andrew Evans
Yeah, well I'll find other friends >:^(
Noah Sullivan
I dont care but Can we have webby rule 34 ?
John Jackson
we're getting there
Jose Jenkins
I'm guessing we get a Huey episode after the Louie one, too. Hope we get some focus, in a b-plot before that, though.
Brody Carter
She litterally is a damsel in distress during the sanctuary arc
Robert Hall
>too
Dylan Flores
>In their efforts to make her stand out, they ironically made her just as generic. She may as well be Star Butterfly without the magic.
Yeah, well, I like Star Butterfly so it's fine by me.
