is the outlaw scrooge mcduck really so different from the comics? i keep seeing people say that
lol well of course it is! but so is the entire show. there is not a single episode of Ducktales 2017 that "fits into comic canon" cuz its a completely different canon - different characters, different backstories, different interactions, different designs, different priorities, different everything
the barks/rosa comics (since we can assume those are the comics being referenced) take place in the 1950s and ducktales takes place in the late 2010s so thats already a pretty big jump. scrooge and goldie are very different characters. fenton doesnt exist in the comics and gyro is an unrecognizably different character. also louie wouldve never had a story separate from huey and dewey.
idk why anyone would say one ep is worse than another specifically because it doesnt fit with the comics when there are zero episodes that fit with any of the comics. webby does not exist in the comics lol neither does launchpad or beakley. or duckworth. nonsensically the show said scrooge made his first million 75 years before the third ep of the show which chronologically makes zero sense but also gave the audience a fair expectation of how scrooges backstory content would be written (none of it would make any sense but we'd have fun watching it anyway)
obv people are just gonna whine all they want but as someone who loves the show and loves the comics i dont see any point in complaining that the show didnt follow the comics. 87 ducktales didnt either (some eps were loosely inspired by comic issues but the tv-only characters and personalities made it impossible to do anything that really fits) and thats fine too! the comics are the comics, the shows are the shows. completely different stories!
My future high school Louie with Goldie and Dickie together after the other two were fun to draw. Also haven't drawn Susie Mcguider in ages so I'm glad I finally did again knowing that I had to do a older high school look for her.
HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY TO THE @lettheladylead aka THE COOLEST CREATOR EVER!! thank you so so sooo much for spreading and making so much dickie duck content! Hope you had a totally awesome birthday!
Really cool infographic rounding up (some of) the italian Disney characters combined with the year, the story, the issue of Topolino they debuted in and the name of their creator(s):
