How DuckTales Created a Perfect Season Finale
Фильм және анимация
DuckTales on DisneyXD is one of my favorite shows Disney has put out over the past few years - and as we draw close to the series finale next week, I take a look back at what I consider to be the show's BEST episode so far - Moonvasion!

Here's my biggest question about this show...what's the main difference between a plan and a "cockamamie scheme?" I'm not saying that having a well-thought out plan is a bad thing, mind you. I'm just saying that the show seems to try and tell people that any kind of scheme, even when the reasons are pure, are stupid. But the way I see it, one must ALWAYS stay several steps ahead of their opponents and coming up with weird ideas is the BEST way to catch them off guard (as Glomgold has proven...surprisingly)

It's funny looking back at the previous season finales. Both are big in scale, but the first one feels smaller and centered on the family, while this second one was a big battle that involved everyone we've come to know and love. Without spoiling much, I think the series finale manages to combine both of these formulas.

That plotpoint was actually going to be apart of the darkwing duck episode in season 3 but they decided to remove it for some reason
This was a show that knew how to do a season finale. The first season finale was really good with its emotional core, The season two finale was just hilarious in the season three finale (also the series finale) gave us one final grand adventure which tied up a lot of the loose ends
Also, ducktales finale theory... so, remember when the harp said Barkley was still lying to webby? I feel like she this could have something to do with webby’s parents or other family members I noticed April, may, and June in the promo, except it only ever shows two of them, and usually with webby. What if this is what Beasley was lying to her about. What if webby is the third one?

I grew up watching the original DuckTales and I absolutely LOVE this one. I like that it is different than the other one but still pays homage to it as well as other shows that aired during that time.
Selene is the goddess of the moon, it's interesting that she didn't do anything until the very end by informing Captain Lunaris that this is now the earth's new moon.

I'd put Shadow War on par with this finale, I loved both episodes. I haven't been catching season 3 as it was airing but I'm STOKED for the release on Disney+, and the fact that this will lead into a Darkwing Duck spinoff is pretty awesome. I'm currently making my own cartoon, Beck and Gwen, and DuckTales is a big inspiration for it in a lot of elements and I'm super excited for the day I'll be able to pitch it. Btw, what film school do you go to? I'm only in 8th grade, but I'm stoked about creating cartoons in my future as a creator and showrunner, so I'd like to know where you would recommend finding great education

That's so awesome!!! Best of luck on your cartoon! I go to UCF in Florida, not really a film school but they do have a good program. I'd recommend looking into whatever film school option is cheapest, as expensive film school really doesn't help you much more than inexpensive film school. You get more experience just practicing making stuff at home like you're doing than going to school itself!

This is my favorite DuckTales episode. I think my favorite piece of media in my opinion it’s better than the season three finale because it feels like everything came together for me. It felt like Bradford came out of nowhere. when Della and the moon has been the main thing that’s been happening since season one episode one and that ending fight is my favorite scene in any show ever
Another damn good episode is "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser"...it hits HARD. And I hope Darkwing Duck 2021 takes place in the same continuity, Ducktales left the Negaduck and Clone-Steelbeak plots open, so it's the perfect opportunity to bring them back considering they were villains in the original Darkwing.
Gosh the CGI on this show is so stellar and really blends into the art style.

The entire section with Glomgold’s plan was my favorite comedic moment in the whole series. Just seeing the plan actually working made me laugh so hard I got black spots in my vision.
It feels as though glomgolds character this season sets him up to die a hero.
Ducktales peaked at Season Two and I will stand by that till I die.

You should really do a video about the series finale
1:30 I would argue it’s more Webby rather than Huey in season 3 tbh
"Not reassuring that he went down instead of up."
Perfect as this ending is, in my head this is how it ends... In the Castle episode where Webby tries to save the McDuck Clan she is obsessed with (and statues come to life), she gives a final glance at the end to the empty pedestal where the next great McDuck will be. Due to Magic Reasons she gets a vision of the future, but it ends before she can recognise the statue there. She assumes it must be Scrooge. Then at the end of the entire show, after the credits Lena offers to show Webby something, now that she knows her origin. The vision reappears and Webby realises that the future statue is her adult self. With her intelligence, toughness, family, inheritance and compassion, Webby realises she will go on to surpass Scrooge as the greatest Adventurer and McDuck clan member.
Awesome
I am sad that the show ended
I’m really gonna miss this show, it’s not my favorite but it’s up there in top 10 or even 5, maybe 3!

I love this finale but there’s one thing that doesn’t make any sense? 2:24 that line! Considering the fact the last episode left off with Della finding out the invasion was coming and this episode starts with Della telling Scrooge you would think that these episodes take place on the same day. After all why would Della wait to tell Scrooge. Louie’s line here doesn’t make any sense because it implies that Della found out a week ago that the invasion was coming and didn’t tell anyone until A week later
Basically Ducktales S2 Finale: Avengers infinity war and Avengers EndGame but better
Will they ever do other season :( Ive been watching ducktales on yt
Truth be told, from my experiences, I think season one had the best-written finale, followed by three, and then two. The second half of season two was disappointing to me, but not bad. I may have to rewatch the series but overall, great video!
I really loved it but one thing I wanted to show that he is longer it just felt too short which is sometimes good but for the series in the school but I think you should’ve been a bit longer or I don’t know I just don’t know explain it

Okay. If it is set up in advance it is no an Ex-Machina. Deus Ex-Machina refers to something that comes out to resolve a problem while having never been set up as part of the story. If it was set up, then it is a payoff. Not a Ex-Machina.
