Amph DuckTales (2017)

That was really funny.

 

Cool that we got a Season 3 announcement. How about a Season 2 announcement?

Well, good news, it appears that Ducktales returns in three weeks on Saturday, October 20! Life is like a hurricane.

 

So we got 6 episodes of Season 2 between October 20th and Dec 1st and they're most likely taking a winter break. Last Christmas was particularly powerful and very enjoyable in the third act.

My favorite part:

Spoiler

Quack-a-roonie!

 

The Christmas episode might be one of my favorite episodes of any show ever.

Amazing.

 

Who else is excited for the upcoming next episode "Whatever happened to Della Duck!"?

 

March 9th - three more weeks, sure, I'm ready.

 

Yeah, I saw this in my YouTube feed and thought, “Ducktales is coming back, finally.”

 

Whatever Happened To Della Duck?! - in a word: sublime. The episode had chills running down my spine 3 minutes in and the rest of the episode did not disappoint. I was laughing one minute and crying the next. There are some trope-y things that happen towards the end of the episode, but that aside, I would say this is one of my favorite episodes and on par with Last Christmas! I hope these high quality episodes continue.

 

Spoiler: watch AFTER Della Duck episode

 

That was one of the best episodes so far. I'm gonna fly to the Moon to save Della.

 

That didn't bother me. Upon second watch, I didn't understand that if the Mite was eating the metal to live, why did it scourge Della's name spelled in metal? Seems like a good waste of food unless it was trying to hit her and hit the metal by accident. Either way, I loved this episode and upon second watch it reminded me of the Adventure Time episode "I Remember You".

Fun little thing I didn't notice until my wife recognized the voice - for all you Modern Family fans - Julie Bowen is the voice of Penumbra (aka Penny).

 

I have to admit, one thing that bothers me a bit about the show is that it is not very loyal to its source material. Sometimes, it feels less like an adaption of the Disney duck comicbook universe, but more like a parody of that.

 

Anyone still watching this show? I'm still catching up on episodes, but wow, what a bunch of episodes. Although I wish they would include Donald more (first they don't bother to bring him to the McDuck castle now this) but oh well, they're probably saving him for the season finale again.

 

Yeah, I am still watching. Webby nerding out over a fake quest was really funny. Gyro randomly tuning in the Wild West was also really funny. The rocket horses gag was hilarious.

 

I didn't realize they'd be coming this fast and furious with the new episodes. I'm just starting to get caught up. I'm three episodes behind as of 5/16.

Regarding 308 - 311

Spoiler

(#V308) Treasure of the Found Lamp!
I thought this was a neat little adventure, and I loved the call backs to the previous episode of the season.

(#V309) The 87 Cent Solution!
Super clever episode and a nice call back to "Golden Fever" of the original series.

(#V310) The Golden Spear!
Definitely a setup for a future conflict. I don't understand why Della's rocket was set to return to the moon when entered.

(#V311) Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!
Great to see her home and trying to fit back into normal life with her family.

 

@TCF-1138, yeah, I know. I was excited when I heard that Disney was thinking of rebooting Ducktales, but what we’ve actually gotten is far better than what I was expecting. I loved the ending of The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck. Louie calling Goldie for tips on how to run his business 8n the most shady and unethical manner possible purely because it will annoy Scrooge was really funny.

 

So basically the writers are Disney Duckverse nerds.

 

Oh and speaking of Disney Duckverse nerds.....
