Ducktales(2017) Unpopular Opinions
Here they are:
1. S3 was not as well structured as the other two seasons.
Season 3 was probably my least favorite season but I’ll have to rewatch season 1 to be completely sure. The over arcing story was just not handled as well as the previous two’s. I still liked, though there was a moment when I felt kind of bored with the show. I still think its a great show.
2. Adding the TailSpin universe was a bad idea.
I did not like the TailSpin/Ducktales episode. It didn’t represent Kit well and the episode was basically mediocre fanservice. I would’ve preferred if the episode was replaced or changed so the TailSpin was not included.
3. Adding Poe so late into the show was a bad idea.
I was waiting for Poe since I first researched him (around the beginning of S3,) and his appearance was...underwhelming. He was introduced so late into the story that his story could not be solved or even delved into. Its one of the disappointing things about Ducktales ending. I don’t blame the writers too much on this since they probably didn’t expect for the show to get canceled.
At least there are fanfics.
4. The finale was not as perfect as people say (still very good).
I liked it. A lot of love was thrown in it, but it was really rushed. Some moments were thrown in without much hints, and there was too much bouncing between perspectives. Also, the contract’s loophole was kind of dumb- sweet and cheesy, though still dumb.
5. There were too many characters added in the finale.
This goes hand and hand with the previous opinion. Personally, when it comes to series finales, I prefer the spotlight to be mostly on the main characters. Maybe if there was more time then the character spotlight would have been better balanced.
6. The show would have been more interesting if Della did not come back (still like her and the show though).
A gripe I have with the show is the lack of consequences Scrooge gets from his actions. Della’s disappearance would’ve been a good start for that development. Don’t get me wrong, I like Della and she is fun character. Yet, I still think about what could have happened if Della did not return.
7. The triplets were too harsh on Scrooge based on his role with Della’s disappearance.
Not saying that they didn’t have the right to be mad; the triplets were kind of mad at the wrong person. Sure, Scrooge built the rocket, but he most likely wanted to go to space as a whole family. When Della found out about her present, she decided to go to space. I’m at least glad the writers didn’t discount that.
Anyway, HDL went too far when they accused Scrooge of caring more about his money than her and didn’t try to find her. Tbh, I almost cried seeing those flashbacks.
Scrooge still needs to apologize (specifically to Webby for that comment about not being family).
8. Darkwing’s villains should have been real instead of in the show.
Now that I think about, I would prefer if some traits from the villains were transferred to other characters so Drake Mallard can have villains to fight. He can have new villains too, but at least a few familiar faces are needed.
There was a post here of an artist adding Megavolt into the 2017 universe by having an old high school friend of Drake’s taking inspiration from Megavolt to be a villain. That was an incredible idea!
9. Too many characters were made.
Its more like the writers took on way too much trying to make Ducktales the Disney Afternoon Universe. Young Justice is a good example. In S3, the YJ writers wrote so many characters that most of them were half-baked. Same for Frank.
10. I don’t like or dislike the Webby twist (I’m in between).
I want to dedicate a whole post for this so I won’t say too much. Basically, I like the Webby cloning idea, but not the Scrooge part. I don’t know why; it just doesn’t sit well with me.
How I Would Write Ducktales (2017) Season 4(if it happened)?
Since I’ve seen a few fans talking about how they would write S4, it got me curious to know what you guys thought. I don’t have that much of an idea since almost every storyline was closed, but I’ll give it a shot.
So, my main plot point for S4 would be a sort of Scrooge redemption arc. If anyone has seen The Life & Crimes of Scrooge McDuck then you know what I’m going to be talking about.
Glomgold and Ma Beagle’s stories won’t be included since they weren’t particularly terrible. Though, they do show Scrooge’s selfish nature and non-accountability of how his actions affect people. What I will be talking about is Magica’s story. I don’t feel super bad for Poe and Magica since they terrorized innocent villagers, but what Scrooge did was not good. Magica was willing to through everything away if he helped her and Poe; instead Scrooge ridicules her and steals the villager’s money. Magica’s terrorizing could have ended right there.
And that’s not even the worst part. Scrooge then took advantage of the villager’s situation to make a profit and left them once he was done. He didn’t help them or anything; sure he didn’t have magic but he could have at least tried. I was super annoyed when the writers swept those issues under the rug after this episode.
Actually watching Scrooge trying to fix his mistakes would be way more convincing than an apology (which was pretty half-assed, I must say).
Season 4 would be Scrooge’s season.
As for the main villain, maybe a group from that village who are still resentful towards Scrooge. They don’t have to be big villains like Bradford; just ones that affect Scrooge and his family.
I would also add Poe since he has so much potential and can give Magica some good development.

Spoilers for the new episode...
(The phantom and sorceress)
(Let’s talk about how magica now has her powers back. I definitely wasn’t expecting her to get her powers back. Apart of me thought she was going to be a joke for the rest of the series. It’s going to interesting to see what going to happen with her now. She definitely became a bigger threat to the duck family. Now she probably not going to join F.O.W.L since the whole phantom blot situation and she probably not the type they are looking for. She probably is going try and get revenge on Clan Mcduck but Lena is going to stop her. I can’t wait to see where this whole thing goes next.)

I love you, girls~💕
this is so I can figure out the order of episodes
the episode title beware the Heir of Dismal Downs is inspired by the name of a fic written by @godfrey-the-chaos-duck their fic titles alone are genuine art
Will Lunarius ever appear in the project? I can tell that Bradford will also appear just as Magica's pet.
magica has more in store for Bradford than just being a henchmen or pet
So we are gonna see karmic court again? Wonder who's gonna sue him? I already have some guess like the main antagonist. I picture that this time, Scrooge is getting the guilty verdict. I picture many crimes like spear of selene, not helping the villagers, and so on. Maybe adding crimes tha tneve rmentioned in the series but from other appearances in the comics (i can think of one but rather keep this for myself incase the main villain is actually that person). The first karmic court is great but the villains testimony didnt held much to consider Scrooge being criminal especially Magica. Sure she lost his brother but it is karma given how they treated the villagers and the only bad thing Scrooge did is not helping the villagers and took their money. Hope Louie represents him again. Is this gonna be like a mid-season finale?
You are correct there we are going back to the court and I think Louie representing him is the best decision. I totally agree that the villains testimony’s didn’t really have much weight but the episode the miser and the magician will shed some more light on magicas testimony. We are going to learn a lot about Scrooge and the person suing him well you’ll just have to wait and see. However his family will be forced to testify against him along with a few new faces and some new lore for the karmic court.
Will Poe DeSpell appear in your project?
*glances sideways at the episode titled the Miser and The Magicians*
Any returning villains that we might see?
You’ll definitely be seeing more of magica, glomgold if I need a filler villain and negaduck . And a couple of others that I think I’ll keep to myself
Fellow lovers of ducktales for umm research purposes(tootally not a secret project) if the reboot had a season four what kind of things would you like to see from episodes,to character interaction and cameos
*Bill floats beside Ford, whom is suspended in the air by blue chains, and places his hand on the edge of one of his bricks. He then extends it out from his body and takes out a pile of notecards from within it — as if the brick was merely an open drawer rather an actual part of himself*
Bill: "Now, the revenge monologue I've been plotting for thirty years: 'To my most hated nemesis...' That's you. '...As you know, you kept trapped me within the Nightmare Realm by refusing to open the portal, where I've been biding my time, devising your delicious downfall. In conclusion—'"
*Bill cuts off unexpectedly, squinting his eye down at the cards as he shuffles through them. Ford watches with the most deadpan face*
Bill: "Wait. These are out of order. Hold on. Hold on! Don't roll your eye at me! I'VE BEEN TRAPPED FOR THIRTY YEARS! I'm entitled to a full minute of gloating! I will make you watch as I destroy everything you've ever loved, starting with your precious little town!"
Bill: ...
Ford: ...
Bill: "Ooh, that's good. Got a pen?"

here other icons i made xd
more screenshots of mark being hit xd
Some screenshots i take from the new episode.
Mark really look funny xd
↑I actually drew a freaking scene! And my drawing really looks so much better! The style inspired by Jay P. Fosgitt's art (his designs for characters in mlp comic are amazing).
Some requests! I took quite some in Spring this year (2019). 😜 All requested by users on Lofter.
😁😁😁
↑They wanted me to draw sth nice(?) and a bit angsty(?) as well, with two Danny(s) in it… I wasn't quite sure what that means😂 so I had to imagine the whole scene myself and considered quite some options, and originally I was going to draw sth horrifying, but then I remembered that the content should be PG-13. After carefully considering, I drew this, and I think it looks pretty fine. 😂
↑They just wanted to see them eating ice cream together. I even practised a bit of drawing ice cream for this… 😂
↑I really like Lena! The show is freaking amazing! Sadly I don't have the chance to watch even the last part of season one! Not to mention the following seasons! 😂😭😭冇得仁兄搬运… 个个都去译迪士尼其它啲节目…😂哪怕有生肉都好啊… 唉
This looks like a quick sketch. (I think I drew a bit too fast back then😂)
You know, I'm actually pretty proud of all the Ducktales contents this time… I It was my first time to draw DT… Ah, Scrooge is a freaking awesome character! He's one of my favourite characters.
↓Okay, the last one.
I am proud of this.
(The one who requested this is on tumblr as well but I don't know her username. )
I know this could look better. I mean it.
But hey, FIRST TIME ACTUALLY DRAWING HIM is something to me! 😂
(And this is basically how I draw stuff🙄)
This bad boy is a bit harder to draw, compared to other characters here. But… but this is one of my FAVOURITE villains, and it was really interesting to draw him.
And I know I do draw a lot of Dan, but
Little Dan doesn't count! I mean the one I always draw is from my freaking AU, and everything is different, okay? 😂😂😂
Oh, and the sketch before I make the final drawing… I practised a bit… But didn't take it too seriously, and I KNOW the obvious problems… I could draw better, but I didn't anyway.🙄 I wanted to focus on gesture lines so I switched to a more cartoonic style…
(And I do need to learn and practise more🙄)
The 17th original post of C. Leung! 😏 I want to post more…
