What do you mean this isn't how this scene from Confidential Casefiles went?
Webby: Where is my granny?
Black Heron: Why should I tell you?
Webby: Because I asked politely, and I only do that once.

Something I Noticed In The Episode ‘McMystery At McDuck Manor’
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok. As shown in the episode ‘McMystery At McDuck Manor!’, Scrooge McDuck’s enemies like Flintheart Glomgold and Ma Beagle seemed to respect Duckworth but despise Ms. Beakley. So, I’ll be going over my thoughts on why Scrooge’s enemies seem to respect Duckworth but don’t hold that same respect for Beakley. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that the reason why Scrooge’s enemies respect Duckworth but hate Beakley might come down to when Scrooge hired them. After all, Duckworth was hired by Scrooge long before Della was lost in space considering that, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Duckworth worked for Scrooge while Della was still a kid. And Beakley was probably hired by Scrooge after Della was lost in space since, as shown in the episode ‘Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!’, Della was surprised that Duckworth was dead and that Beakley replaced him, Duckworth’s death probably came shortly after Scrooge’s niece Della was lost in space. And Duckworth’s death happening so soon after Della’s disappearance was also pointed out by @sprklboo in their TBH The Extent Of The Abuse And Isolation That Bradford Enacted Towards Scrooge Is Not Talked About Enough post. And that means that Duckworth’s death along with Della’s disappearance probably caused Scrooge to become deeply isolated from the people around him. Also, I think that isolation not only caused Scrooge to push away his loved ones but also his enemies too. So, And, while Beakley was, as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, more than willing to help Scrooge connect with his loved ones, I doubt she would’ve been willing to let him interact with his enemies again which I’ll be elaborating on in my next point. Speaking of which…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge seemed so isolated by Duckworth’s death as well as Della’s disappearance that he didn’t want to talk to his great nephews at first. And if Scrooge was so isolated that he didn’t want to talk to his great nephews, he certainly wouldn’t have wanted to interact with his enemies either. That’s probably one of the reasons why Scrooge hired Beakley. He probably wanted her to make sure that his enemies left him alone. And Beakley was probably more than happy to oblige given all the trauma that Scrooge was put through and also the fact that, as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Beakley has a no-nonsense attitude and wasn’t impressed with Scrooge trying to back to adventuring. And considering Beakley’s no-nonsense attitude and that she, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, used to work as a spy, I think that Beakley was so strict with security that her effort to keep Scrooge’s enemies away from him came off as more frustrating to said enemies than anything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But while Beakley was able to keep Scrooge’s enemies away, she didn’t seem to be able to reunite him with his family as well. I think that one of the reasons for that is because Beakley isn’t exactly much of a social butterfly as shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’ where Beakley seemed out of her depth at first when it came to making friends with other people like Launchpad. And I think that’s because, given the fact that she, as I pointed out earlier, had a no-nonsense attitude and that she was a spy who worked for SHUSH, she probably didn’t have much time to make friends and probably had to constantly fight to keep the world safe from villains which probably means that Beakley was more used to being surrounded by enemies than by friends. So, Beakley probably wasn’t all that well-equipped to help Scrooge reunite with his family since she didn’t know much about forming close bonds with other people herself. And that’s probably one of the reasons why Bradford Buzzard didn’t try to get rid of Beakley despite the fact that, as stated in the episode ‘The Last Adventure! Part 3: Tale’s End…’, Bradford told Scrooge’s niece Della about the Spear Of Selene thus ensuring Della’s disappearance and that, as @yoshimickster pointed out in their …so…yeah…Bradford killed Duckworth didn’t he? post, he probably killed Duckworth too since he did show a picture of Scrooge mourning Duckworth as he was going over how he tried to isolate Scrooge. Given that, as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, both Bradford and Beakley worked for Scrooge and also that, as shown in the episode ‘Last Christmas!’, both of them attended Scrooge’s Christmas party, Bradford probably learned about Beakley’s lack of social skills at some point. Speaking of Bradford…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that isolating Scrooge from both his friends and enemies was all part of Bradford’s plan to get Scrooge to give up on adventuring. After all, as stated in the episode ‘The Most Dangerous Game…Night!’, Scrooge gets really competitive when he’s trying to beat an enemy. So, Scrooge gets a real thrill out of taking down his enemies. And that’s probably why Bradford tried to isolate Scrooge from not only his loved ones but his enemies too in order to get him to give up on adventuring. Also, I think that another reason why Bradford didn’t try to get rid of Beakley is because her skills as a spy would be able to keep Scrooge’s enemies away from him. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Bradford and Beakley were both members of SHUSH. So, Bradford probably knew about Beakley’s skills.
Well, that’s all for this post.
See you all next time.

I read in the DT art book that very shortly after Heron encountered Webby in 'Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22', she realized or strongly suspected- based on how unusually tough and resourceful this child was- that she was her long-lost experiment/clone of Scrooge. And that she reported to Bradford about it...
...What I don't get is, why didn't Bradford have Heron try abducting Webby/April back after that (because the whole reason he'd had Webby made was so the Papyrus of Binding would show itself, since Scrooge asked the PoB to become lost until the "rightful heir of Scrooge McDuck found it again", and Bradford needed the PoB to force Scrooge into a binding contract to agree to never adventure again)?? Or why didn't Heron herself never take the initiative to abduct Webby herself?
Also, the reason that the PoB apparently didn't show itself to May and June (hence why Bradford saw them as failed experiments) is because they were clones of Webby, not direct clones of Scrooge. But that day F.O.W.L. got the feather from Webby in 'The Split Sword of Swanstantine' (their main mission, apparently, even more than going after the Sword), why hadn't Bradford ordered Heron to get a feather from Scrooge instead of Webby, to increase their chances of making a pure heir/clone of him?
(Hell, Bradford's whole plan was just so convoluted and confusing on so many levels)

Do you think the finale would have been better if Huey was the heir the papyrus appeared to?
I still think Webby makes the most sense, clone of scrooge or not, because despite believing herself a nobody dwarfed by legends (introducing herself only as the housekeeper's granddaughter in ep 1), I think she embodies the mcduck spirit the best of all the kids
she's very different from scrooge, but at the same time, like we saw in "Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22," she has the same more innocent adventuring spirit he used to have before he became fully bogged down by wealth, grief, and ego

For my very first poll I have decided to do something that requires more than 10 options/choices and because there can only be one poll per post there will be multiple posts that all have to do with the same poll. This poll will be about which DuckTales (2017) episode you consider to be the best in the entire series. So if the episode you consider the best isn’t on this particular poll, don’t worry because there will be multiple posts that may have the episode you’re looking for on there. All the episode polls will end around the exact same time. Even though there will multiple posts with a poll dealing with which DuckTales (2017) episode you consider to be the best, please treat this as a single poll and vote for one episode only. For example if the episode you’re looking for is here and you voted for it on this poll, please don’t go to the other posts to vote for an episode that’s on that poll. Have fun! 😊 ❤️ 🦆

Ducktales Rankings
So I realized that most of the things that I post or reblogged on here are about Rise of the TMNT and while I love that show to bits, I realized that I haven't talked nearly enough about my first love/obsession and that is Ducktales 2017.
Sadly as the show has been over for over a year now, I'm not into it as I used to be. Yet, I still read some fanfics and still love the characters, especially my boys: Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
I have decided to do a rankings list of the show. That being said, I haven't seen an episode in a while but my rankings are pretty much firmly in place. Also I won't rank every episode as that is too long so I am only doing the top 5 worst and top 5 best from every season and then taking those lists and doing a top 10 list of the whole show.
With that being said, let's Dew this!!!

Webby for bingo???
Tumblr media
WAIT BINGO!
I love her I love her I love her. when she's like "people need infinite cookies! crocheted hand grenade holders! FREE HUGS" I felt that. when she pretended to be tied up because she thought being able to escape would be too weird and she was embarrassed I felt that. when she packed sun tzu's "The Art of War" to go to chuck e cheese I felt that. that whole scene where she's staring like this 👀 and copying everything scrooge does in from the confidential casefiles of agent 22? me irl. her favorite color is pink her favorite booby trap is spike pits her favorite storm is tropical cyclone meets thundersnow. she wants everyone to be happy all the time and she is so cute and scary and I am so glad 10yo me did not have access to Webbigail Vanderquack 2017 because if she existed then I would have been insane and insufferable about her. I'm only a little insane about her now. I love her.

Why I Think Goldie O’Gilt Was A Serious Wild Card In Bradford’s Plans To Isolate Scrooge
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok. Here I’ll be going over why I think Goldie O’Gilt was a serious wild card in Bradford’s plan to isolate Scrooge by explaining how I think Goldie’s relationship with Scrooge works and why I think Goldie is a factor that Bradford simply couldn’t reign in. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that one of the reasons why Bradford couldn’t keep Scrooge isolated from Goldie is ironically because of how their constant game of cat-and-mouse works and how long they’ve known each other. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie and Scrooge still seem to love each other at the end of the day despite all the constant distrust and backstabs and have known each other since during the Klondike Gold Rush which would mean that they’ve known each other for literally more than a century. That would mean that Goldie and Scrooge have more than a century of distrust and backstabs between them but they still love each other despite it all. So, Bradford probably can’t separate Goldie and Scrooge through manipulation since they’ve already seen each other at their worst time and time again but still love each other at the end of the day. Furthermore, Goldie was probably the first person Scrooge formed a bond with since he first began to make his fortune. After all, as stated in the episode ‘The Shadow War! Part 1: The Night Of De Spell!’, Scrooge worked alone way back in the day and the same probably went for Goldie too given that, as stated in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie seemed quite used to stabbing other people in the back. And I think that’s ironically one of the reasons why Goldie and Scrooge fell in love in the first place. Goldie and Scrooge probably saw each other as kindred spirits since they were both loners who wanted to make a fortune. So, another reason why Bradford couldn’t isolate Scrooge from Goldie is because Goldie and Scrooge probably fell in love with each other even though it was a very lonely time in their lives.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since Bradford couldn’t isolate Scrooge from Goldie through manipulation, he probably tried to have Goldie killed shortly after Della’s disappearance. After all, as revealed in the episode ‘The Last Adventure! Part 3: Tale’s End…’, Bradford told Della about the Spear Of Selene thus causing her to be lost in space which tore Scrooge’s family apart and, as @yoshimickster pointed out in their …so…yeah…Bradford killed Duckworth, didn’t he? post, probably killed Duckworth since Bradford did show a picture of Scrooge mourning Duckworth as he was going over how he tried to isolate him. But killing Goldie was probably easier said than done given that, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie was able to get the drop on both Beakley and Webby. And that’s saying a lot considering that, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, Beakley and Webby are both highly trained spies. Speaking of Beakley…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bradford probably tried to get Beakley to double down on her efforts to keep Goldie out of McDuck and thus away from Scrooge. And since, as stated in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Beakley recommended Bradford to Scrooge. That probably means that Beakley trusted Bradford enough to take his advice regarding Goldie. Also, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Beakley seemed to really dislike Goldie. And I think that makes sense considering that, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, Beakley was a spy who worked for SHUSH helping to enforce justice and the law whereas, as also shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie was the polar opposite of that being a master thief and all. But Bradford trying to get Beakley to double down on security to keep Goldie out was probably to no avail given that, as I already pointed out, Goldie was a master thief who was able to get the drop on both Beakley and Webby.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge wasn’t all that keen on telling others anything romantic about his relationship with Goldie. And that probably didn’t bode well with Bradford’s plans to isolate Scrooge. After all, given that Scrooge wasn’t quick to share anything about his romantic relationship with Goldie with other people, he probably wasn’t willing to share anything about it with Bradford. This would mean that Bradford wouldn’t have known how to isolate Scrooge and Goldie from each other.
Well, that’s all for this post.
See you all next time.
