I love how it's subtly implied that Launchpad did not see the giant rainbow up into the point that Scrooge pointed it out, and if he HAD noticed it, he probably would have flew into it of his own accord.

I love any time where Launchpad gets to show that he's oddly knowledgeable about specific things. He may not be a well read, brilliant pilot, but he knows everything there is about Wrestling and Darkwing Duck. And it's always nice to see Huey having to deal with his analytical side giving him knowledge but no experience. Pairing them up together made this episode really shine.

I have to say as someone who actually watched wrestling this episode was pretty funny

Although this wasn't a character episode, I like the way it's handled the boys for the most part, particularly how it shows Louie's character development as he shows a much more considerate and honest attitude than in the previous seasons while still being every bit the greedy triplet. And I think they're building up Huey's development bit by bit. Here he shows that he's not good at improvising due to his literal by-the-book persona and seeing him struggle to light up was very nice. What do you think the vultures would do of they found out that Scrooge and Co are keeping the world from being destroyed, seeing how the reason they targeted the Duck family was because their last adventure almost cost the world?

I wish they had time to squeeze Donald into this episode. There are so many classic gags you can do with Donald in a wrestling setting. He too like Scrooge would relish playing the heel, but unlike Scrooge he’d be the “jobber” - you know he’d be beaten up again and again and again. Honestly that’s my only gripe on this season so far. The only Donald centric episode was the daisy episode. I want to see more Donald and Della interaction.

I felt this was an ok episode but with a huge missed opportunity. In the first season we see the triplets unite together to stand against the dog of Dismal Downs, and when Dewey asks Huey if they are good enough to take over for scrooge, it should have resulted in the 3 of them uniting to prove together they can replace scrooge one day.

It would've made so much more sense, if it was Loki calling the shots for Rumble for Ragnarok. Plus, he and Louie could cause some serious mischief together; heck...they should've brought in Thor or Odin. Even this version of Valhalla felt like a pale comparison to other depictions I've seen.

This episode got me back to watching wrestling after a 15 or so year hiatus, I love this show so much.

Was waiting for a review on it, worth the wait for sure!

The miser is actually a real character from pro wrestling’s past . Thought Scrooge’s version seems to also incorporate elements from the wrestler I.R.S . The original miser is linked to the pro wrestler Randy savage as it was his fathers original wrestling gimmick .

Finally done with season 3a

I really enjoy your enthusiasm for DuckTales!

Ok but can we talk about how Launchpad's wrestling name was genuinely perfect?

The episode is fun overall. The Beakley/Webby tag team was great. Launchpad aka Captain Crash feels like he's had this in his back pocket for a while. One point of improvement would have been Dewey. He should have been the Heel. Doing the right thing isn't always fun or popular. It's a good lesson to learn. Too bad he doesn't learn it. I love that Hecka was their work around Hella. I'd like to thinknot was 50% BS&P and 50% brand protection from the MCU.

44:32 sharper than the sharpies indeed.

Also I think Mrs Beakly's get up may be a call back to an episode of the original series

My sister has described wrestling as “a soap opera where people get to punch each other.” and I think that gets at the appeal of wrestling better than any other description I’ve heard.

The final part of the battle reminded me of the fight between Kinnikuman and Akuma Shogun because both finished with an unbelievable pile driver.

@dgvanz1155

Also the Kinnikuman series is famous for having wrestling match to decide the future of the world.

"The people's champ" is a nickname of the Rock. When he first debuted in WWE, he came out as the smiling Rocky Maivia. He was supposed to be the face (good guy), but the more he tried to be liked, the more the fans turned on him. This is exactly what Dewey goes through in this episode. Both Rock and Dewey had to learn to roll with it, and while they handled things differently, both ended up becoming beloved by the crowds. One could argue that Scrooge's character also represents Rock when he was rising up in Hollywood. At one time, he returned to WWE playing as an entitled movie star heel (bad guy). He knew how to get the crowd to hate him. Another quick note: heels tend to not sell as much merchandise, which is why Louie focuses on catering to the faces.

REALLY looking forward to Gosalyn's introduction, and your own thoughts of that episode as well, when it airs. It's been the episode i've been hyped for since I found out Gosalyn would be in Season 3 😛

Really loved this episode.. That being said I am also a pretty diehard fan of Professional Wrestling. I think the writers did a fantastic job of blending the two worlds. Would have also loved to see Captain Crash take up the mantle of "the defender of Earth' ..lol.

This was a super fun episode when I watched it, and continued how Season 3 has been the best season yet. Like, I'm no big wrestling buff, either, but I am familiar enough with the themes and terminology to get a good time out of this. You get a slightly deeper dive into a throwaway joke of Dewey reacting to the studio audience from Quack Pack turning against them by losing strength and seeing how Dewey would normally react to that kind of disapproval. You see a little more of Huey's struggles with his self confidence and needing to be the best the season built up. And yet you also just get a bunch of fun jokes from shout outs to Wonder Over Yonder with Webby's names for her fists to Launchpad watching wrestling while flying and so much more. It also is just a great pay off to another throwaway gag where Scrooge confessed to secretly keeping Jormungundr at bay. In a lot of shows, they wouldn't devote a whole episode to one easily ignored line meant as a quick gag to show how much responsibility Scrooge has to illustrate his want for a night to cut loose. And yet this show does that kind of stuff all the time, taking small, tiny gags and running with them. And really, that's one thing I love about this show, they have a really impressive attention to detail for Disney Duck canon as a whole as well as their own take on it, as shown by episodes like this.

I'm so anxious about Halloween special 💜

This is probably my least favourite episode. I think Scrooge acts very weird in this one. Why does he think his nephews are the best candidates to succeed him and fight an immortal snake for the destiny of earth? He knows both gods and superheroes, but wants to put his nephews in the ring in the future? I don’t even buy Scrooge as earths champion. It’s fun, sure. But it doesn’t feel real, even in universe. It feels like Scrooge-fanfic written by Webby. I legit thought that might be the twist in there end.
