#Ducktales 87

This month marks 70 years of our favorite chicken scientist and today marks one year since releasing the Gyro Gearloose zine with my dear friend Glo! So many amazing artists and writers contributed and I could not be happier with the work we produced. You can visit the link in my pinned post to download it if you haven't already. 💚⚙️💡

The DuckTales spoof from CRACKED Magazine (defunct) certainly is a thing that exists…

from CRACKED #236 (Jul. 1988)

Magica borrowed Scrooge's apron to tease him.

Scrooge is very much up for it 😏

i think one of the important things to remember when analyzing scrooge mcduck is that he's kind of like a representation of the american dream-- the idea that anyone can become successful with enough hard work and determination-- because that's the starting point from where a lot of his morals were crafted. i feel like that context is really crucial understanding to his character on a deeper level and trying to do so without makes it incredibly easy not quite get certain things.

that's the episode I'm currently watching

the major courage episode reminds me of the episodes of '93 animaniacs where there were tv execs (and major courage himself reminds me of mr. director)

My sister and I are arguing on whose the bigger himbo, Fred (from scooby doo) or Launchpad (from DT/DWD)

Re: Your last post - Another thing that bothered me in DT17 was that Fenton was suddenly part of Team Darkwing. He seems like yet another sidekick of DW's, which makes Launchpad feel less special.

Thanks for the ask! This is a spectacular point that made me want to organize my thoughts. ♡

DT17 skewed nearly all the characters by making so many unnecessary changes and switcheroos.

Fenton in DT '87 was a poor man who had an amazing knack for counting and a wholly unmatched weird zest for life. His mom was a single mother who was depressed and left by a verbally (at least) abusive man. Fenton accidentally steals the suit, and then proceeds to roll with this opportunity to be somebody! He learns to be a hero on the go. He makes believable mistakes, like accidentally dropping the manual in a villain's car and forgetting about it because he outsmarted them at the moment.

Fenton '17 is none of the above. He's someone who wants to make a change for the greater good and calmly does things the proper way, like reading the Gizmo suit instructions and practicing them in secret. This cautious sensibility is then forgotten and he posts vital details about the suit online, because plot needs to happen.

While a reboot pretty much guarantees that characters will be different since writers, artists and the time period is different, the extent to which DT17 swapped backstories and generally made characters interchangeable is... pretty infuriating, lol.

Fenton is a hero who vies for change but is unsure on how to do so and was inspired by Launchpad.

Drake is a hero who vies for change but is unsure on how to do so and was inspired by Launchpad.

Mrs. Beakley used to be a feminine civilian character who's now a spy in this rendition.

Gandra Dee used to be a feminine civilian character who's now a spy in this rendition.

The variety of characters in the slice of life duck show with magical elements is gone!

They tried to sprinkle in dustings of the old personalities, but it's just not believable. Drake Mallard is completely smoothed out (metaphorically and literally), but then they insert his self-absorbed tendencies at random times.

OG Fenton and Drake's bond was impeccable. The writers really played around with the hilarities of having alter-egos and having to deal with each other civilly and heroically. They weren't really 'friends' in either stage. It makes sense, because at their core, Darkwing can't get along with a big-name hero because of his jealousy, and Drake can't get along with a loud, uncouth guy who was suddenly invited by Launchpad to stay over.

DT17 has the awkward "friends as civvies, one-sided rivalry as heroes." It's so weird to see Drake be positive with Fenton and then be either oblivious or delusional (depending on your interpretation) about Gizmo for no reason.

What they should have done is keep the stories separated. (This now brings up another flaw-- the kids being included in everybody else's story arc.)

Fenton becomes Gizmo on his own, and deals with his obstacles that lead to the heroic lugnut we all know and love.

Launchpad's interest in Darkwing should have been unique, and not just regarding an old fictional show. We should have been able to see LP's process of building the Thunderquack, and the gradual process of him moving to St. Canard.

Then you can have Gizmo and Darkwing meet later, and gradually show us how they fall into the role of heroic rivals! The fact that this series wasn't episodic like the old one was an edge it did not take advantage of.

Ducktales 2017 had the bad habit of including an element and not elaborating on how it began except for pointing over to the original series. Being Meta =/= Storytelling. Listing tropes and describing them in-universe is not being clever.

I'm so disappointed that it fell so short of what it could have been by trying to do so much at once.

Since Drake and LP’s relationship is healthier, does that count the same for Scrooge and LP’s relationship?

Do you have any headcanons for Launchpad and Scrooge?

I’m afraid I don’t know much about DT ‘87 Scrooge Mcduck, I just couldn’t get into the ‘87 Ducktales series, so I don’t really have anything to say on this.

But maybe Drake could encourage LP to stand up for himself is Scrooge is treating him unfairly? I don’t know.

Sorry.
