    One unmentioned detail I really enjoy is the fact that Fenton isn't able to be Gizmoduck in this episode, but he joins the fight anyway. It really shows the heroic core of this version of the character.

    I swear this episode made Donald my favorite character. Not just because of his badass moments but also because he was the 1st one to decide to forgive Scrooge despite the fact that he was the one with the biggest reason to hate him. Plus the moment when the triplets started saying all the things they love about him and Donalds reaction almost made me cry. It's just so good seeing him getting so much love.

    Tony Anselmo's pretty underrated this episode, probably because he's so overshadowed by Don Cheadle. But he's spent twenty-plus years with this character...he was Donald in the original series, after all, as well as the Kingdom Hearts series. This reboot is, I think, the most hes ever been allowed to speak, and the pilot was the first time I've ever seen him actually win the day with clever wordplay...because words and Donald have never been friends. But to garble his words to that degree in the finale and still get across what he's trying to say? That takes TALENT

    There was a classic cartoon where Donald bought some magic lozenges that made him speak with a normal voice. It only worked for a little while so he had to keep taking them, but he woos Daisy with them. He is eventually down to his last one and it bounces away and a cow eats it. He starts quacking at the cow to get it back when the cow says, "my dear fellow, I can't understand a word you're saying." Driving Donald crazy as the cartoon draws to a close.Point being this isn't the first time EVER they've acknowledged his crazy duck voice in a cartoon.

    The secret was kept out of consideration. The Duck/McDuck family rift, however, was in large part due to pride. Scrooge couldn't accept his own responsiblity for building the Spear of Selene. You can't get lost in space without a ship, after all. and Donald...Donald was Della's twin brother, a bond closer than normal siblings, or at least that's how media portrays it when one twin isn't evil. Donald would probably have lionized her in his head, and demonized Scrooge, because there's no way his sister would run out on her own eggs like that, right? Scrooge must have egged her on! He'd known her since they were hatchlings, she couldn't do that on her own! She WOULDN'T do that!...would she? So the blame falls on Scrooge, he gets defensive, and the family is torn asunder by pride.

And since Lena is my new favourite character, it made my cry, as her shadow/ghost was desposed by my (since Ducktales 2017 only) second favourite character Magica. I kinda didn't stop until we saw Lena in Webby's shadow and I felt relieve wash over me. I cry way too often about those cartoon ducks... worth it :D

    This episode was FANTASTIC! What I noticed about this episode that I never noticed before was how Magica never got such a big high stakes episode in the original 'Ducktales'. Oh, she was there, but her schemes were only relegated to just single episodes. She could've gotten a big 5 part story arc in the old show, but she never got one. The Beagle Boys were in the three big 5 parters more so than Magica. The new show builds her character all the way up to the season finale, and was done VERY WELL. I would almost say that this is better than the 'DuckTales' theatrical movie, which had a similar climax. As for Launchpad, Calling him 'dumb' might come off as an 'insult' for most people, but I also agree that he's a little TOO ridiculous to be believe in some cases. (His original version probably wouldn't mistake golf balls for eggs, which I think makes him a bit TOO dumb for my taste.) but Launchpad has a certain charm that makes you look past that. Also, your observation of Donald thinking that he's as competent, and clever while we see him as bumbling, and short tempered was very insightful. When his voice is altered, his actions come off as more believable while still maintaining his core essence. (Plus, it was a great call back to 'Donald's Dream Voice')

    Good to see this go up! The first half of this finale was a chore to get through. Not because I didn't like it, I VERY MUCH did, but because watching family dramas play out is always incredibly difficult for me. Launchpad and Mrs. Beakley's on-the-beak deliveries were painful, but only because they were accurate, and because I have people in my life who would TOTALLY do that to people they thought were being unreasonable. It's a little stupid from the outside, it's painful to get through, but speaking from first-hand experience...it is EFFECTIVE. Especially Bentina's method. Also, learning the full story behind Lena sucked. Again, not because it was bad, but because it hurt. But the second half? Is EVERYTHING about Ducktales that I am here for. The family, the adventure, the humor, the amazingly over-the-top villain. Also, I am kind of in love with the idea that Magica de Spell believed in fair play. Not necessarily physically, because she was a master sorceress and eveyrone else...well, wasn't...but because she didn't want to waste her revenge on the lonely, broken, bitter duck smelling strongly of stale pizza that Scrooge had become. Revenge has to take someone down a peg to mean something, and Scrooge couldn't be taken down any further. She could have just gloated at him about that and been on her merry, all-powerful way, but instead she tried to build him back up before she took him down. My theory is that Scrooge being back at his "full power" as it were, when he was imprisoned is why he came back in full McDuck regalia, complete with jacket, top hat, and cane. It lends a nice bit of irony to the proceedings.

    A couple of missed callbacks, from the Ducktales Video Game this time: 1) The first notes of Magica's leitmotif are from the "Transylvania" stage. 2) The "Moon Theme" plays briefly when we pan out at the moon! It really shows the commitment of the Ducktales team.

    @@CuriousUserX90 It's much harder to pick up, since there's a lot of stuff happening while it plays. Plus it's only the first five notes(instead of the moon theme's ten). And its tempo is much slower than the video game to give it a more epic feel. So no wonder a lot of people missed it. Kind of makes you wonder what other music references they slipped in without us noticing, doesn't it? We really need to get our hands on the soundtrack.

    So many people only see Donald as a bad-tempered hothead. There's a lot more to him than that. Yes, he can be a hothead, but he can be brave, tough, and smart. This episode proves it. In the classic shorts, it seems he doesn't like the triplets. I always thought he loves them, even though they exasperate him at times. Again, proof of that here. Donald Fauntleroy Duck is a great, multifaceted character! My favorite Disney character, in fact!

  • @ThePaganSun

    The thing is that it wasn't that Donald and the triplets didn't like each other, but rather Donald adopted them when he himself was fairly young. Their relationship was similar to how a single teenager would raise triplets. It's why Donald too was immature and often stooped to their level.

Maybe now that she has a solid form she'll grow up normally

Also, I like that Donald still shows a bit of his bad luck, even with his more competent-sounding voice, what with him falling and having Magica's amulet break on his head, rather than catching it as it flies in the air. Also, before we see Della on the Moon, we get a snippet of the Moon theme from the DuckTales NES game. :P

Shipments targeted by Glomgold with a mechanical... okay, I forget the specifics at this point, I think shark.

It’s kind of odd but a lot of Scrooge’s enemies don’t seem to hate him. Glomgold went to a great deal of trouble to try and emulate Scrooge. Magica was having empathy for Scrooge’s pain and didn’t want to attack him in that condition. These are not things you do when you hate someone.
