shits almost at bump limit yo, new thread was necessary.

Also, this was best ep by far. Don was great.

Are there Mega links for the older episodes around anywhere?

wait, already out?

Episode was good

Check archive. There was post with 4 first, though ep 1 didnt work.

It’s not fifty posts away from bump limit you impatient faggot.

Great episode, but am I reading too much into a character named Pepe and the main villain being a frog?

Can't find it by control F'ing 'Duck', what's the thread title?

*slaps you*

>Pepe
It's Pei Pei, named after a real panda that was kinda famous. The villain is a Jin Chan aka money toad, one of which is traditionally depicted as belonging to a mythical chinese figure called Liu Haichan (thus why the toad in that episode is named Liu Hai), and is a good luck charm.

Man, this episode had culture up the yin-yang!

Was that an attempt at a pun?

>>shits almost at bump limit yo
It's nowhere near 500

Yes. Yes, it was.

It was a good one.

Wow, they had Donald and Scrooge cameos in Webby's new show? That must have been pretty neat.

You've been told repeatedly why the show has been Webby centric to this point, you baiting fuck

There's something fun about Mr. Peanutbutter being in Ducktales.

Oh no we've been invaded by Walt.

Everyone we can only defeat him together by chanting the magic words. Ready?

Shiggy.
Nice info tho

e07 is not that good episode.
that why somebody disorder the show sequence.

:D

Donald is a wild animal.

Ducks are cute.

That's cool, I always thought Donald's shirt color was a design choice, but he did use his blue uniform as a child.
Is Donald with a black shirt supposed to be an older version of Donald with the blue shirt, or am I just being autistic?

In this show, he had the blue outfit up until the first episode, where he got the black one as his uniform working for Glumgold. He's still wearing the black one because he's poor and his other outfits were destroyed when his house sunk.

I think he usually had a black shirt in the comics and a blue shirt in the cartoons.

someone gets it.

though the blue one is something that became standard only in the last 30 years.

This portrayal of Donald in a "realistic" environment makes him seem mentally ill and I love it.

Louie destroyed the blue uniform in the first minute of episode 1.

Best boy.

I'm glad they ended up airing this one and the mark beaks one in intended order; the mark beaks one looks like it's another duckberg episode and that would've meant 5 duckberg episodes in a row

The renewal is okay-ish for me. Though they did solve webby's generic personality from the old series, in this one they gave her too much. Too much that she's overshadowing the boys. What's worse is the boys are now the generic ones. Launchpad became an idiot.

>the boys are now the generic ones
Did you watch the original? They didn't have independent personalities at all and acted exactly like kids in an 80's cartoon. Scrooge was always the main focus. Now they're just all tropes, which is still really generic but at least there's some thought into development.

There's nothing wrong with tropes itself. It all just comes down to execution.

Disney XD could bring back Saturday morning cartoons if they aired new episodes for Big Hero 6, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and Ducktales on Saturday.

I mean, he has been shown to have PTSD in some comics, being a veteran.

>the boys are now the generic ones
As opposed to before?

Woo-oo!

>The boys are now the generic ones

It's better than the original cartoon, where they were essentially clones.

Well, back then, their special "unique" trait was that they were three little samefags.

Behold. The fanciest duck in the world. He wears pink bowties.

This reboot is fucking shit.

He's like some kind of...duck.

But that could potentially open up a whole new set of problems, like I feel that there are too many characters. The old one had this issue too, but not as badly as the reboot. There are around 8 main characters that we have to follow and some get way more focus than others that really need it (Huey).

Ducks are very vicious beasts.

Save your fears and critique for after we've seen how the new show handles it.
The episodes have been finished anyway some time anyway, and now it's just about waiting for all of them to air one week after another.

Why

But nobody likes Donald.

Huey's lack of focus is because his first focus episode (episode 3) was delayed for the holidays

0/10 too outrageous to even be considered bait.

They couldn't do anything like the original triplets in a modern cartoon, but I think the original portrayal is better so far. At least then the little character motivation they had always made sense for kids. Now these tropes are just going to be used to cheaply progress stories.
>Huey does a retarded thing because he's autistic when it's convenient.
>Dewey does a retarded thing because he's a retard when it's convenient.
>Louie does a retarded thing to because he's self-obsessed when it's convenient.

...

It looks to me like the people behind the show put a lot of thought into the color choices. Instead of using the blue costume that Donald wears in a lot of his animated appearances, they gave him a new unique outfit. His current costume appears to be mostly inspired by the comics, where Donald nearly always wears a black costume rather than a blue one. Also, the white hat seems to be a nod to the character's origins; Donald used to have a white hat in some of his earliest appearances.

Best boy right there.

Well, he is kinda, you know, not so lame.

>Donald goes to a therapist
>the boys and Scrooge think that it's some sinister plot

I think she's overshadowing them because they frontloaded her episodes, for some reason. She's fine.

How many episodes are left? And we've had 7 so far, you don't think that's enough to form opinions about the show?

>One of the characters is a parody of the millennial stereotype
>The network advertises the show following those very same stereotypes
>The show itself is full with sarcastic/postmodern/"THIS IS AWESOME" millennial attitude
Either they're very self aware or they're very stupid.

That being said I love Beaks.

It's true. All you got in Ducktales topics are a bunch of Gladstone fags and people wanting to fuck a 50 year old Magica.

Blue shirt was always standard in the cartoons.

But agreed, other user gets it. Black shirt came about in newspaper daily strips (1938) where the blue shirt couldn't appear, because it added contrast that would otherwise be missing.
It became canon so fast that when Donald's Sunday strip started (1939), it continued there, even in color.
Then in original comic book production, Barks began drawing the black shirt from his second story, just to match Taliaferro... and so he's had the black shirt in most comics since then.

When is the actual best duck gonna show up?

IMHO Magalhaes makes the characters most relatable, while Bateman really knows her pacing.

But actually each was probably the only credited writer of several who really worked on the episode, so maybe I'm attributing habits to them that they don't really have.

"Gladstone, i'm taking your fucking boat."

Smug frog illusion girl is cute.

Who do you think complains more about the "millennial" generation then other young people? Total lack of self-awareness is one of their defining traits.

>>The network advertises the show following those very same stereotypes
>>The show itself is full with sarcastic/postmodern/"THIS IS AWESOME" millennial attitude

It's not millennial. It's Gen Z.
Formerly self-aware people actually choosing to act like douchebags, woman-haters, man-haters and Nazis, initially because it's ironic hahaha and every funny jerkass on TV is doing it, and then calcifying into for-real sociopaths due to the negative feedback loop.

We're in deep shit and little things like these DuckTales nephews are symptoms. (I think South Park and Family Guy started it, and Rick and Morty is a symptom too.)

Can't say anything about the ads - hell, they're presumably done by a completely different company - but I think they know what they're doing. The show's whole attitude as well as the character they're parodying are both hallmarks of the current century, but that doesn't mean they're the same.

Of course we do. We're the ones who have to put up with them, we're the ones who get blamed for their antics, were the ones being told the most self-centered and deluded identitarians, race hucksters, and trust fund kiddies are "the voice of our generation".

No more Dewey Junior. ;_;

I do not see what that has to do with the (extremely wrong) claim that Donald is not Best Boy.

>episode with snow
>automatically a christmas episode
I hate people who think like this.

>(I think South Park and Family Guy started it, and Rick and Morty is a symptom too.)

You said that last thread too. It doesn't make it true, this was a trend that started in the 90's with Johnny Bravo (and possibly earlier).

>Donald's rage is so strong it overpowers Gladstone's luck.

nice

This is how you use your head to solve the problem.

He's either underage, or just dumb.

>this was a trend that started in the 90's with Johnny Bravo (and possibly earlier).

Goes at least back to Tiny Toons, and probably didn't start there, either.

I tried.

This show has a frustrating habit of hinting at adventures that would have been far more interesting to see than the plot we actually get.

Like the Spear of Selene thing, and Webby offhandedly mentioning 'all the stuff we've seen with Scrooge' in episode 5.

This week they teased us with Launchpad tangling with the Asian mafia, but nope, the episode is actually Paul F. Tompkins' Snarky Casino Adventures.

Show, don't tell, DuckTales.

Garfield and Friends did it a few years earlier.

>Show, don't tell, DuckTales.
That's not what that means.

MEGAS please

???

I have a feeling its because of consorsip

And heck, Tiny Toons were modeled after classic Looney Toons. It was written for a younger, modern demographic and applied to kid characters, but you can still see the influence in their attitudes.

...

nigger that don't help

>>trapped by an evil spirit is not an adventure.

Has anyone done this yet?

Aw fuck off, this episode was great.

Don't fall for that obvious bait. Dude's even using the so-called reddit spacing.

>and people wanting to fuck a 50 year old Magica.
Magica is meant to be an attractive woman somewhere between 25 and 35 years old.
She was based on:
-27 year old rising star actress(Sophia Loren)
-34 year old actress who had won several beausty contests and was considered an international sex symbol(Gina Lollobrigida)
-Morticia Addams

>WHY DO YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION THAN ME STOP BAITING REEEE

Women aren't allowed to be attractive anymore, though.

>Webby offhandedly mentioning 'all the stuff we've seen with Scrooge' in episode 5.

I think it's because the episode was meant to be shown later in the season.

wouldn't Wonder Webby fit better?

Have you heard of a magical country called Finland that is filled with Duck-autists?
