You can only reblog this today.
Also, haven’t watched all of DT17 in a while, so my knowledge of seasons 2/3 is a little off
What are actually your thoughts on DuckTales 2017 reboot?
It took me a long time to answer because I had to think about it for a while.
I think DT17 is a fine kids show, but it lacks a lot of maturity depth in its themes ans story in addition to missing the point of nearly every character it adapts.
To me, show's problems begin with the main cast. In the comics you had pretty much only 3 main characters: Donald Scrooge and HDL (which in the comics are considered one character). This makes sense for the comics, it makes the cast simple, recognizable and fleshed out while giving time to side characters. Now, DT17 decided to split the triplets to make the cast wider for the TV setting, but while they did that they also added a lot of other characters, and this quickly got out of hand.
DT17 has 8 main characters: Scrooge, Donald, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Mrs. Beackly and Luanchpad. And 9 after Della comes back. This doesn't allow all the main cast to shine like Donald who was extremely neglected.
The worst part about this cast change is that they changed the focus from Scrooge and Donald. And no matter how much they try these kids aren't nearly as interesting as Donald and Scrooge in the comics. Due to this change stories deal with kids' conflicts like sleepovers or the Funzo's episodes. Makes the show feel a lot more childish.
I find stories about Scrooge going to find treasure simply to get richer or Donald trying and failing at his new job(s) much more compelling than what DT17 has to offer.
Scrooge and his adventures actually take a really big hit in this show. DT17 feels afraid of making Scrooge morally dubious. He's barely greedy or stingy in the show and there's not really any focus on his money. We don't see Scrooge being stingy moments like the crashout over the kids finding out about Della isn't very believable because I don't see why the kids would think Scrooge wouldn't spend money trying to save her.
Btw, in that whole story Scrooge did nothing wrong! Yes, he built Della a spaceship but as we see later, the rocket itself was perfectly safe and functional, Della only crashed because she flew it without preparations and during a cosmic storm! And after she did Scrooge nearly went bankrupt trying to save her. He genuinely did nothing wrong, and that's a shame! Because I want him to be in the wrong! The best part of Scrooge's crashout with his family in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is that it was completely his fault for being a despicable asshole. After that, the writers tried to lift responsibility from their main characters even more by making it so Bradford told Della about the spear of Seline and imo it doesn't really matter because Della was an adult woman who should be able to take control over her actions (especially while having 3 kids on the way).
As I'm writing this I realize I can't put all my thoughts on this series into one message so I'll write one final point. The main theme of the shoe, the importance of family is stupid.
Not only is it cliché and honestly pretty childish it doesn't really mean anything in the show. As far as I remember the show doesn't really explain why family is important. It doesn't go far family is good and maybe that loneliness is not fun, and that's incredibly basic! Not to mention that by the end of the show the term family loses all of its meaning because Scrooge considers everyone his family, the rodents his great nephew saw once, his coworkers and so many more. It just devalues family and makes it pointless. But at the same time it also overvalues it because nobody is allowed to have any individuallity outside of the family and do their own thing, and once they do their own thing the family also claims it. Personally I find it a pretty toxic approach.
Overall, DuckTales 2017 is an okay show, but it makes incredibly nuanced characters very flat and childish and unlike what they used to be while lacking any depth to its own themes. I think it can be fun on a first viewing but once I start thinking about what I saw it all falls apart.
I might continue adding to the post later, but I'm tired rn.
Now, before I start, DT17 was my introduction to the greater Duck Universe, I was aware of Donald, HDL, and Scrooge because my parents took us to Disney once every year or two, and showed us the movies and stuff, but outside of finding life and times of Scrooge McDuck and skimming it in middle school, I knew nothing, so I’m biased towards DT17
Your point about kiddy adventures is incorrect, as the episodes had these as framing devices, but always focused more on an adventure, the first Funzo’s episode was about establishing the new Webby as a character, and about the beagle boys. The sleepover episodes, the 2 I can think of, are about diving into dreams and fighting Magica, and searching through Scrooge’s other vault and dealing with monsters.
Yeah the Scrooge morals thing is fair, I have no rebuttal
However, your point about family is where I most strongly disagree, you brought up the rescue rangers, but I don’t think Scrooge counts them as family, they are a background reference, and with coworkers, he is shown to be close to 3 coworkers, Gyro, who he sees as a brilliant mind and is trying to help improve his people skills so he can be great, Fenton, a bumbling buffoon at first who he’s willing to give a chance to be a superhero, and Launchpad, who is on all his adventures and is close friends with Dewey, the weakest point here is Launchpad, but all of these coworkers who he counts as family are his close friends, same with Beakley and Duckworth, alongside Lena for a time, all of them aren’t blood family, but found family, which is a type of bond also included in the show’s premise.
I think that the show is focused on all types of family, which is shown really well by the finale credits, showing severs groups of characters, some related, some not, but they are all family, through their bond.
Anyways yeah, no disrespect, I just have an addiction to DUCKTALES 2017 and wanted to throw my thoughts in.

I NEED THE WORKDS GREATEST CRIMINAL MIND IN MY VALLEY POSTHASTE
Once again I am begging the mouse to put more obscure characters in it's spin off games.
....ok so I know dreamlight valley hasn't even got some of the most popular characters yet (give me Maleficent. GIVE ME-) but. They've already pushed for Oswald. They've got atlantean locations. The first character you meet is Merlin and i'd hardly call the sword in the stone, beloved as it is, one of their most popular films. (Did I smile so hard my face hurt at meeting Merlin anyway? You're goddamn right I did I love that old man)
I've not bought the rift in time dlc yet - soon - but I can already tell you I'm putting the black cauldron cast in this game through sheer hubris.
Yes I'm predictable. No I don't care. This little sim lets me play house of mouse at chez remy and I so badly want to make HK pizza and watch his little friendship meter tick higher. It's a pyramid of needs thing dammit.
Sidenote - I know a lot of the original voice actors are dead - but would it kill a multimillion dollar company to put a *bit* more effort into the voice acting? Smh Scar and Ursula just don't sound quite right and it's driving me mad.
...I can also hear vanellope across the whole damn valley child I am TWO BIOMES away

University of Iowa neuroscientists studying spatial learning and the effects of stress on memory announced Tuesday that a little son-of-a-bitch mouse ruined an experiment on cognitive performance by effortlessly navigating a maze that researchers spent nearly a year designing and constructing.
The test subject, a common house mouse, briskly traversed the complicated wooden maze in under 30 seconds or, according to the study’s final report, roughly 1/8,789,258 as long as it took the lab to secure funding for the experiment. According to researchers administrating the standard Y-maze test, the fucking bastard never even broke his stride during the first trial, always selecting the correct route while consistently avoiding blind dead-end alleys.

It's so crazy that there's the Disneyland fandom but there's also a distinct Haunted Mansion fandom. This is the only attraction that's like this I think. I don't see "it's a small world" posting ever I don't see Space Mountain or Tiki Room or Matterhorn fan content.
