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.

All the kids!

In this Goof Troop fan project i changed things a bit, so Max and his friends are 8, while Pistol (11) got promoted to mean older sister, and to balance things out there's Hayley (4) the little girl in the middle.

and yes that is Bobby before the cheeza got to his brains lmao

The Dads!

Pete, Horace, Goofy and Mr. Rover (AKA Roxanne's dad)

i'd say they all have different parenting styles, Goofy would always be best dad in my opinion.

The Ladies!

Peg, Linda and now Clarabelle Clara works with Pete , (kind like in the three musketeers) and she is very close friends with Peg

Here is a face you don't see often!

Horace Horsecollar my beloved forgotten disney character💔 i'm always sad that disney barely aknowledges his existence, despite being there way before goofy or donald were created

anyway i felt tat he would be perfect for the Goof Troop setting, and this wouldn't be a 90s period piece project without the mandatory annoying brat, but since Pistol has been promoted, i came up with Hayley Horsecollar, she is 4 and too energetic for her father's sanity.

Horace works at the mall along with Mrs. Rover , and he is Goofy and Pete's neighbor!

there used to be a Mrs. Horsecollar but they are currently "going through a rough patch"

Roxanne's Family

apparently Roxanne's last name is Rover, at least that what the trivia section of the wiki told me, i choose to believe it, so here are the Rovers!

Roxanne is the only child, she is 8 like Max and P.J. , they go to the same school

Mr. Rover works at the bowling alley, while Mrs. Rover works at the mall along with another character i will post in a bit they don't have canon names so i'm still thinking about giving them names, Mrs. Rover strikes me as a Linda, Linda Rover ye. not sure about Mr. Rover yet

i'm havin a lot of fun with this Goof Troop fan project just in case, Mrs. Rover was designed by me, i don't know if Roxie has a mom but i have enough one patent family units in this project already, designing her was fun

The Pete family for my Goof Troop fan project

i've taken some liverties with the characters, Max and P.J. are 8, while Pistol is 11, i loved the idea of her being the mean older sister, very Pete vibe if you ask me

on the other hand, Pete is the greatest evil you can imagine... A LAND LORD! *que dramatic music* while Peg is an elementary school teacher, imagine Ms. Frizzle with her drill sergeant vibe, tho she haven't had the opportunity to work as a teacher yet.

Don't think i posted this here yet i have been working on a Goof Troop fan project for a while but life keepin me busy aaagh
