What 'Ducktales 2017' gave us
(in honour of the 4th anniversary of the finale)
Each one of the triplets having their own personality
Donald Duck being a good parent exactly as Goofy was shown to be in the 90s
David Tennant playing Scrooge McDcuk
Lin Manuel Miranda playing Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera...
... latinx Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera!
Mark Beaks, a character that is slowly becoming more relevant as time goes by
Female characters allowed to be flawed (Bentina, Gandra, Goldie, Della...)
Tons of neurodivergent coded characters (Huey, Violet, Dewey, Webby...)
An entire episode that talks about autism without talking about autism
'I'm Boyd, I'm a real boy!'
Goldie and Daisy allowed to be more than someone's love interest
Goldie being a femme fatale with a fear of attachments
Scroldie with a happy ending!
Daisy being a girl boss who knows her worth but at the same time being a great girlfriend for Donald
Donald canonically going to therapy and good rep of what it means
Not one, but two great Christmas episodes!
A great modern rendition of the 3 caballeros song
Josè and Panchito being the former bandmates of Donald's college band
a 'Ocean's Eleven'/'Die Hard' inspired episode
Fethry, Gladstone and Rockerduck finally animated (for someone grown up with the italian comics it was a great moment)
WEBBIGAIL WANDERQUACK, MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER
LENA SABREWING, MY OTHER PRECIOUS DAUGHTER
an honest portrayal of having an abusive parental figure, focusing especially on its consequences
'I do not wish to date an Earth... male'
Launchpad being dumb and at the same having great emotional intelligence
Drake Mallard becoming Darkwing Duck to honor what the superhero meant to him growing up (even if the actor tried to unalive him)
'They want grim and gritty, right? Well, happy to play the part!"
an iconic Halloween episode
'Sup party people!' and all the reunions that followed after (each one of them perfect and tearful)
Powerline being a canon singer in the Ducktales Universe
the Wandavision episode before 'Wandavision' even aired
Scrooge being more obsessed with adventures than money
'You thought there was a real genie inside?'
The duke of making a mess
The Darkwing Duck episode an hour long
Catherine Tate playing Magica De Spell
The 'All I do Is Win' scene
Glomgold and all his sharks related plans
'According to the Junior Woodchuck guide...'
The freaking multidimensional portal that must cause problems in every Disney animated series
The mandatory Dragonball and Sailor Moon reference just like in every other Disney animated series
The poor teen possessed by the villain at a certain point, even worse if it's their abuser and they are trying to free themselves by them that happened in every Disney animated series
A great showrunner that ran a blog on Tumblr and answered our questions without giving too much spoilers
