Current Events > I kinda dig the new DuckTales

For those who haven't seen the first episode yet (mods - this is literally uploaded by Disney, so chill)

It has some of the humor and look of that completely insane / surprisingly edgy Mickey Mouse reboot

I watched it today and loved it. I liked how it sort of mirrored the first set of episodes of the original, which also dealt with a lost city and a race with Glomgold
---

Heard they're gonna throw in a Tenth Doctor reference at some point.
---

Scrooge McDuck is such a badass
---

Kinda? Don't undersell it, it was awesome.
---

Not available in my country lmao. I've already seen it anyway.
---

I loved it so much.

Darkwing will be in the show as well, confirmed by the creators. And they dropped the names of the Tail Spin and Goof Troop towns, so seeing them wouldn't be a huge shock

i like the art
it has nice color and some of the scenes in atlantis were pretty cool-looking

the humor wasn't much but some of scrooge's wise cracks were amusing and there was a couple of good moments in there
the writing in general is fine

i wish donald weren't so hard to understand

He's not

I just think a lot of the younger people aren't used to Donald as much as some of us older people are. Of course I don't know how old you are, this is just a running theory. Because the friends I have that are my age didn't have any issue understanding him, but I've noticed a lot of the younger people have had a hard time with it.

i dunno, donald sounds a lot harder to listen to than i remember, but that might just be because it's been at least fifteen years since i've seen anything featuring him

Yeah, I think this is the issue. But it's just a theory I have no real credibility on.

It makes enough changes that it feels different enough without being too different. I like it.

To be fair, he was a spinoff of one of the original DT's episodes. Gearloose IIRC was a somewhat frequent character in DT, but was integral to the other show.

My favorite scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is when Daffy Duck and Donald Duck can't understand each other.
