Ducktales(2017) Unpopular Opinions

Ducktales(2017) Unpopular Opinions

Here they are:

1. S3 was not as well structured as the other two seasons.

Season 3 was probably my least favorite season but I’ll have to rewatch season 1 to be completely sure. The over arcing story was just not handled as well as the previous two’s. I still liked, though there was a moment when I felt kind of bored with the show. I still think its a great show. 

2. Adding the TailSpin universe was a bad idea.

I did not like the TailSpin/Ducktales episode. It didn’t represent Kit well and the episode was basically mediocre fanservice. I would’ve preferred if the episode was replaced or changed so the TailSpin was not included. 

3. Adding Poe so late into the show was a bad idea.

I was waiting for Poe since I first researched him (around the beginning of S3,) and his appearance was...underwhelming. He was introduced so late into the story that his story could not be solved or even delved into. Its one of the disappointing things about Ducktales ending. I don’t blame the writers too much on this since they probably didn’t expect for the show to get canceled. 

At least there are fanfics. 

4. The finale was not as perfect as people say (still very good).

I liked it. A lot of love was thrown in it, but it was really rushed. Some moments were thrown in without much hints, and there was too much bouncing between perspectives. Also, the contract’s loophole was kind of dumb- sweet and cheesy, though still dumb. 

5. There were too many characters added in the finale.

This goes hand and hand with the previous opinion. Personally, when it comes to series finales, I prefer the spotlight to be mostly on the main characters. Maybe if there was more time then the character spotlight would have been better balanced. 

6. The show would have been more interesting if Della did not come back (still like her and the show though).

A gripe I have with the show is the lack of consequences Scrooge gets from his actions. Della’s disappearance would’ve been a good start for that development. Don’t get me wrong, I like Della and she is fun character. Yet, I still think about what could have happened if Della did not return. 

7. The triplets were too harsh on Scrooge based on his role with Della’s disappearance.

Not saying that they didn’t have the right to be mad; the triplets were kind of mad at the wrong person. Sure, Scrooge built the rocket, but he most likely wanted to go to space as a whole family. When Della found out about her present, she decided to go to space. I’m at least glad the writers didn’t discount that. 

Anyway, HDL went too far when they accused Scrooge of caring more about his money than her and didn’t try to find her. Tbh, I almost cried seeing those flashbacks. 

Scrooge still needs to apologize (specifically to Webby for that comment about not being family). 

8. Darkwing’s villains should have been real instead of in the show.

Now that I think about, I would prefer if some traits from the villains were transferred to other characters so Drake Mallard can have villains to fight. He can have new villains too, but at least a few familiar faces are needed.

There was a post here of an artist adding Megavolt into the 2017 universe by having an old high school friend of Drake’s taking inspiration from Megavolt to be a villain. That was an incredible idea! 

9. Too many characters were made.

Its more like the writers took on way too much trying to make Ducktales the Disney Afternoon Universe. Young Justice is a good example. In S3, the YJ writers wrote so many characters that most of them were half-baked. Same for Frank.

10. I don’t like or dislike the Webby twist (I’m in between).

I want to dedicate a whole post for this so I won’t say too much. Basically, I like the Webby cloning idea, but not the Scrooge part. I don’t know why; it just doesn’t sit well with me.

Reblog if you genuinely support asexuals

It terrifies me that there’s so much raging passion in the lgbt+ community that insist on marginalizing asexuals and implying that asexuals don’t deserve to have safe spaces. There’s still so much acephobia so I just wanna know which blogs are genuinely supportive and a safe space for asexuals

DW’s Perspective on Heroism + Why He Doesn’t Like Gizmoduck

*This is purely my perspective. I’m mostly talking about the 2017 version but both could work in this*

I’ve been rewatching the Darkwing-centered episodes so I could do an analysis on Drake. I really like him and is in my top 10 list. I see a lot of myself in him. He’s also an adorable dumb*ss.

Anyway, after watching these episodes, I came up with a theory on why DW doesn’t like Gizmoduck.

In Drake’s eyes, being a hero is willing to risk everything for the world’s protection, especially your own body. His inspiration is a fictional version of DW who is willing to get himself hurt to get the job done.

Drake looks down on heroes who don’t follow this ideal, which is where is disdain for Gizmoduck comes in.

Fenton wears a suit to protect himself and hold his gadgets-which is not bad; Iron Man does it. Yet, Drake sees the suit as Gizmo’s “cowardice” or “reluctance” to be a real hero. He sees himself as a better hero because he doesn’t wear protection.

This is how I think Drake processes this, “I’m better than Gizmoduck because he is a regular person who is not willing to risk everything. I don’t wear a stupid suit to protect myself.”

What are your thoughts? Do you think this could be accurate? 😁

How I Would Write Ducktales (2017) Season 4(if it happened)?

Since I’ve seen a few fans talking about how they would write S4, it got me curious to know what you guys thought. I don’t have that much of an idea since almost every storyline was closed, but I’ll give it a shot.

So, my main plot point for S4 would be a sort of Scrooge redemption arc. If anyone has seen The Life & Crimes of Scrooge McDuck then you know what I’m going to be talking about.

Glomgold and Ma Beagle’s stories won’t be included since they weren’t particularly terrible. Though, they do show Scrooge’s selfish nature and non-accountability of how his actions affect people. What I will be talking about is Magica’s story. I don’t feel super bad for Poe and Magica since they terrorized innocent villagers, but what Scrooge did was not good. Magica was willing to through everything away if he helped her and Poe; instead Scrooge ridicules her and steals the villager’s money. Magica’s terrorizing could have ended right there. 

And that’s not even the worst part. Scrooge then took advantage of the villager’s situation to make a profit and left them once he was done. He didn’t help them or anything; sure he didn’t have magic but he could have at least tried. I was super annoyed when the writers swept those issues under the rug after this episode.

Actually watching Scrooge trying to fix his mistakes would be way more convincing than an apology (which was pretty half-assed, I must say).

Season 4 would be Scrooge’s season.

As for the main villain, maybe a group from that village who are still resentful towards Scrooge. They don’t have to be big villains like Bradford; just ones that affect Scrooge and his family.

I would also add Poe since he has so much potential and can give Magica some good development.

I’ve been publishing some stories on AO3 for like a year now, and I’m having trouble updating them. Not updating them gives me pressure because there are many people who like it and I feel bad for not updating for so long. I’m going through school and it’s consuming all my time. Also, I have trouble writing because of my perfectionism and belief that I’m not a good enough writer. I constantly compare myself to others, such as how long my story is and how many likes there are. It’s annoying and unhealthy.

I want to stop these habits and have a healthier mindset. Can I have some advice on how to do that please?

Can I also have advice on:

-What to do when you have writer’s block

-How to write the beginning of chapters

-How to stop striving so hard for perfection

Thank you to anyone who answers or likes! 😁💕
