What’s your favorite ducktales episode and why?

Either "The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains" or "The Phantom and the Sorceress" Both of them to me personally are infinitely rewatchable (Golden Lagoon potentially more so) and they both got their great gags from Glomgold being a highlight like excessively saying that he and Goldie are dating or Gladstone trying to cope with his normal luck. Any episode with Goldie is great and I genuinely can't place my finger on why. But then again the other episode has Phantom Blot who is one of my favourites so it's a toss-up between those two and maybe "The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck."

Can we just talk about the Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains for a moment?

And why just one line above all makes me go absolutely feral?

Specifically...this line:

Let's just fangirl over this for a moment shall we? Scrooge...Scrooge McDuck just offered to pay for anything...anything Goldie wants. And he'll only buy himself discount mustard, a knife and some buckskin boots.

Which is super easy to gloss over until you remember that this is Scrooge McDuck. Who is so tight-fisted it's a key part of his personality. It's a point even made at the start of the episode when he steals food from the buffet because it's free.

And you could, could argue that DT17 Scrooge isn't like that. Except... when you take into account this interaction in S3E14: Escape from the ImpossiBin!

He won't buy his family lunch unless they risk their lives but will buy anything Goldie O'Gilt needs.

#admittedly he's probably doing it because she'd steal it anyway #and he wouldn't vibe with that #doing things square #scroldie #goldie o'gilt #scrooge mcduck #dt17 #ducktales

How I Think Certain DuckTales (2017) Characters Would Wield A Lightsaber

Ok. Here I’ll be going over how I think certain DuckTales (2017) characters would wield a lightsaber in a fight if they were lightsaber duelists. This post was partly inspired by @writebackatya’s If You Could Give Any DuckTales (2017) Character A Gun Which One Would You Give It To post and credit also goes to @boingodigitalart since I probably couldn’t have found it if he hadn’t reblogged it. The idea of DuckTales (2017) characters wielding guns got me to think about how they might wield lightsabers. I’ll be determining what types of lightsaber fighting styles from the Star Wars mythos they might prefer based on their personalities and the skills they already have. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series and the Star Wars franchise. With all that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

As shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Scrooge seemed to favor both blocking and attacking in a sword fight. So, if Scrooge were to use a lightsaber, he might try out something like Djem So, a lightsaber combat form that’s, as stated in The Jedi Path book, about both blocking and attacking in a lightsaber-to-lightsaber duel. Scrooge might also practice Shien, a lightsaber combat form which, as stated in the Fightsaber Jedi Lightsaber Combat book, is basically about reflecting blaster bolts back at the opponent since, as shown in the episode ‘Moonvasion! Part 1’, Scrooge seems to have some skills reflecting blaster bolts back at an opponent. Also, given that, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Scrooge uses his cane as a pogo stick, he might use a sabercane in the same way since, as shown in the Star Wars The Clone Wars episode ‘Lightsaber Lost’, a sabercane is basically lightsaber hidden inside a cane.

As shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie seems to favor parrying in a melee fight. So, I think that means that Goldie might also try out Djem So if she were to use a lightsaber. After all, as also stated in The Jedi Path book, ripostes are a part of Djem So. Also, Goldie might try out a lightsaber move like Trakata which, as shown in the Star Wars Visions episode ‘The Elder’, is a lightsaber move that involves getting the opponent focused on attacking their adversary’s lightsaber blade before that adversary turns their lightsaber off and then turns it back on as a way to catch their opponent off-guard. After all, as also shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie is a really skilled thief and con artist who likes to outwit and trick the people around her. Trakata would be pretty risky since turning your lightsaber off mid-combat does run the risk of getting hit by the opponent’s lightsaber as a YouTuber named EckhartsLadder pointed out in their Why didn’t Jedi/Sith TURN OFF THEIR LIGHTSABERS to avoid an opponent’s blade? | Star Wars Lore YouTube video. But, since Goldie is, as I already pointed out, a skilled thief and con artist, and, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, seemed to know a thing or 2 about melee combat. I think that she would know just the right time to use Trakata. So, I think that a lightsaber move like Trakata would be fitting for someone like Goldie.

As shown in the episode ‘Daytrip Of Doom!’, Donald fights with a lot of rage that he allows to guide him and focuses mostly on offense by coming at his opponent with a series of wild movements and, as shown in the episode ‘What Ever Happened To Donald Duck?!’, Donald focuses his rage and uses it to protect his family. So, if he were to use a lightsaber, I think that he would try out a combination between Juyo and Vaapad. After all, as shown in The Force Unleashed novelization, Juyo was a form designed for offense and was described as a vicious form of lightsaber combat that is filled with fury and, as shown in the Revenge Of The Sith novelization, Vaapad involved the practitioner using anger as a weapon without letting it control them. Given everything I already said, Donald lets his anger guide him but also focuses and uses it to protect his family. So, I think that a combination between Juyo and Vaapad would be fitting for Donald since he lets his anger guide him like a Sith but also doesn’t let it make him hurt his loved ones like a Jedi.

As shown in the episode ‘Louie’s Eleven!’, Daisy fights pretty ferociously and is able to focus her rage for a specific task just like Donald. So, if Daisy were to use a lightsaber, she might try out a combination of Juyo and Vaapad for the same reasons I said Donald might in my previous point. But, as also shown in the episode ‘Louie’s Eleven!’, Daisy seems to prefer dodging and evading and then delivering a ferocious counterattack while Donald, on the other hand, seems to prefer charging the enemy head-on. So, during a lightsaber duel, Daisy might dodge and evade the opponent’s lightsaber strikes and then counter with ferocious lightsaber strikes with her combination between Juyo and Vaapad as opposed to Donald who would probably just charge the opponent head-on.

As shown in the episode ‘Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!’, Della used acrobatics during her fight against the Gilded Man. So, if Della were to use a lightsaber, she might try out Ataru. After all, shown in The Jedi Path book, Ataru involves acrobatics and it also involves all sorts of energetic movements. And, as shown in the episode ‘What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!’, Della can be quite energetic. Also, using Ataru might allow Della to outmaneuver her opponent with its acrobatics and deliver all kinds of punches and kicks as well as lightsaber strikes. Plus, as also shown in the episode ‘What Ever Happened To Della Duck?!’, Della has a prosthetic leg. So, the kicks Della delivers with her prosthetic would probably do more damage.

As shown in the episode ‘Daytrip Of Doom!’, Webby is quite the combat enthusiast. So, if Webby were to use a lightsaber, she might try out every form of lightsaber combat. After all, given that Webby is a combat enthusiast, she would probably really relish the opportunity to practice as many moves as possible with a weapon she’s never seen before. Webby’s combat enthusiasm probably also means that she would really like to practice lightsaber combat forms with quite a few different types of lightsabers like the regular single-bladed lightsaber, 2 single-bladed lightsabers at the same time, the double-bladed saberstaff, etc. Also, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, Webby was trained to fight by her grandma Beakley who was a secret agent. So, I think that means it would be easy for Webby to deduce the strengths and weaknesses of certain lightsaber combat forms. For example, Webby would probably be able to easily deduce that Soresu would only, as Darth Traya described Soresu in the Knights Of The Old Republic 2 video game, delay the inevitable since Soresu, as shown in The Jedi Path book, is a lightsaber combat form that only focuses on defense without any focus on offense thus leaving no room to counterattack.

As shown in the episode ‘The Phantom And The Sorceress!’, Lena has magical powers at her disposal that she can use in combat. So, if Lena were to use a lightsaber, I think that she would try out Niman. As shown in The Jedi Path book, Niman is a form of lightsaber combat that encourages integrating Force abilities into lightsaber combat. Obviously, Lena doesn’t have the Force. But Lena’s magical abilities would make a sufficient substitute. Also, Lena might get some help from Webby to use a lightsaber properly. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Other Bin Of Scrooge McDuck!’, Lena and Webby have a strong bond and, as I already pointed out in my previous point, Webby was trained to fight by her grandma Beakley who was a secret agent. And I think that Webby would be incredibly thrilled to spar with Lena given their bond and the fact that, as I also already pointed out in my previous point, Webby is a combat enthusiast.

As shown in the episode ‘The Duck Knight Returns!’, Drake Mallard AKA Darkwing Duck is able to take quite a bit of punishment and keep on fighting. So, if Drake were to use a lightsaber, I think that he would try out Djem So. After all, like I pointed out earlier, Djem So is about both blocking and attacking. And, as shown in the episode ‘Moonvasion! Part 1’, Drake takes the enemy’s punishment and counters with his own strikes. the defensive part of Djem So would be perfect when paired with Drake’s resilience and ability to persevere and the offensive part of Djem So would be perfect when paired with Drake’s ability to fight back while persevering through the enemy’s attacks. But I think Drake might also practice Soresu. After all, as also shown in the episode ‘Moonvasion! Part 1’, Drake has a limit to how much punishment he can take before collapsing and is somewhat lacking in terms of fighting skills compared to other characters from the DuckTales (2017) TV series. Plus, Drake might exercise more caution when dealing with an opponent who is wielding a lightsaber since, as shown in the episode ‘Let’s Get Dangerous! Part 2: A Case Of Mistaken Reality!’, Drake as well as Launchpad were able to think up strategies to take down the Fearsome Four by playing off their weaknesses that they read and watched in in-universe Darkwing Duck media. And, as shown in the Star Wars: Darth Bane: Rule Of Two novel, Darth Bane taught Darth Zannah Soresu in order for Darth Zannah to accommodate for her relative lack of physical prowess with Soresu’s dedication to defense and redirection. So, Soresu might also help Drake accommodate for his relative lack of fighting skills. And Drake might also practice a little bit of Ataru. After all, as shown in the episode ‘Let’s Get Dangerous! Part 1: The St. Canardian Guardian!’, Drake sometimes fights with acrobatics and, like I pointed out earlier, Ataru is about acrobatics.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

mom doing my hair. turned ducktales on the tv while she did it because it takes 90 minutes to do this thing. we reach the golden lagoon of white agony plains. I love the golden lagoon of white agony plains.

it has taken her sixteen episodes to realize that David Tennant is Scrooge McDuck and she only knows because we told her. she screamed with joy.

halfway through the episode. she looks at me. and she says "M, I've figured out what your problem is" [we've had to explain to at least four people in the last two days that no, I don't have a boyfriend, because I have high standards and most men my age are lame.] she says "M, your problem is that you're searching for Scrooge McDuck to marry."

I put my phone down. take a deep breath. and another. I'm just an eighteen year old girl living in the Midwest and my mother has informed me that I am single because my ideal man is Scrooge McDuck.

"okay."

"am I wrong?"

the worst part is I can't outright say she's wrong because it would be a lie. "he's kind of a loser." Scrooge is onscreen chasing a trail of gunpowder. I hate that this is happening to me.

"he's adventurous and intelligent!"

"and emotionally closed off."

"....that's fair."

"but, hey, you're living proof that you can make it work!"

she probably should not have laughed at this but she did. my father was not in attendance. poor man

I've been big in the horror genre recently. Last night, I watched Saw I & II for the first time with my friends J and L. J has been a big influence in me getting into horror movies. L can't really stand horror, but he handled it. Funny thing, between the films, we cheered up with some DuckTales, The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains! and Jaw$!.

I made L watch DuckTales a little while ago, those were the next in line for him to watch. J's not really into, but he liked both episodes. Next morning, aka this morning, J and me watched Rec. L bailed out. Very good movie. Before leave, I talked him into watch one more Duck's episode. We watched The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!

J seems to like the Webby/Lena combo, who wouldn't?

Little by little, I'm trying to get my friends hook in the Ducks.

Well maybe try talking to Goldie directly about it. I mean you kinda did just leave her standing there. And well if she loves you as much as you do her and most of the love is in the chases proposing could still work because it could be like a little gsne for you two to enjoy as you have and it'd mean she'd have no reason to steal from you directly anymore. Sure steal parts of adventures like the lake of gold situation but just as easily she'd be willing to help as well. You don't have to if you're not ready or if you're even a bit scared WHICH IS OKAY and NOT BEING IMPLIED BUT IS POSSIBLE. You're a good man and I'm sure there's enough good in Goldie where she'll do legal things to keep a healthy competition with you if that's the way you two decide to show love.

First of all... its called The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains not the lake of gold....

Second of all... Ye donnae her well as I do!!! She loves me... but...

she loves gold more.....

So you know how in DT17 Scrooge idolises Finch after reading her book? What if we had the same thing but with Glomgold and Pothole?

like Duke Baloney after Scrooge underpays him reads “Master of The Mississippi and gets inspired, or he even read it before then!!! And he models his life and personality after Pothole!!

Even the flashback in “The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains”’had a similar artsyle/vibe to the illustrations in Pothole’s book!!! And I bet the plot of issues were similar to Glomgold’s schemes.

The Greatest Adventure

Chapter 2: The Last McDuck

Here’s a 15,000 word second chapter of my new finale fix it fic… we’re going waaaay back to season one, picking up with Goldie after the end of The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!

This is a (sort of) re-post of a big chunk of one of my old fics, The Last McDuck. It’s tweaked a bit to fit more perfectly with canon later.

Thanks to @lettheladylead for doing so much brilliant art for this so long ago! I love revisiting these comic panels and I’ve included them in the fic cos I love em so much.

Why I Think Goldie O’Gilt Was A Serious Wild Card In Bradford’s Plans To Isolate Scrooge

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

Thoughts on Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains? How was Goldie? How do you like Scrooge and Goldie's interactions? How was Glomgold's role as a threat to both Scrooge and Goldie? How funny were Beakley (Seems she has some bad history with Goldie), Huey, Dewey, and Louie's reactions to Scrooge and Goldie?

I get the feeling that Goldie is meant to be endearing with how she constantly stabs Scrooge in the back, but betrayal of trust is something that really raises my hackles, so I didn't really appreciate her character the way I was probably supposed to XD.

They certainly make for quite the interesting pair!

This could change in the future, but so far Glomgold is definitely more of a joke villain than an actual front. Aside from the first few episodes, nothing he does ever comes even close to going well.

Beakley and Webby got a bit nerfed this episode, or else Goldie is just THAT good. I would've expected them to put up more of a fight against her.

They really fulfilled the role of annoying younger relatives in this one XD. It's probably not something they get to do often, so I can forgive them for going all out.
