alienboyva Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) WOW! This was a lot better than I was expecting. Nothing can beat the original, but this...this is good stuff! Likes: I like how the art style kinda looks like the old Scrooge/Donald comics (I assume that's what they were going for) Voices are pretty damn good (for the most part) Story wise, it feels just like an ep of the original show Dislikes: Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby don't have that "duck" to their voice (if you know what I mean) Huey, Dewey and Louie are way more annoying Edited August 16, 2017 by alienboyva Dancing Mog 1 Quote Link to comment
Dancing Mog Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Yeah, for some reason I don't have the Disney XD channel anymore but I did watch it through a youtube link. I'm ok w/ the art style but they don't have the duck shaped heads like the original though I am sure I can get use to it, didn't know the bit about the comics. Being a fan of the original I enjoyed this more than I thought so hopefully I can watch the series at some point. Edited August 16, 2017 by Dancing Mog Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) First few minutes of the show: "Cape Suzette" Killer TaleSpin reference, there. A few minutes later: "Spoonerville" "Saint Canard" Disney Afternoon Cinematic Universe confirmed? Edited August 16, 2017 by Cryptic alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I also thought it was odd the ducklings did't have rounded heads like the original. Though, I found it more odd they didn't have that duck voice like Donald like they did in the original. If you want to learn more about the comics, I highly recommend watching this video (see spoiler). Also, if you want to get into the comics, there's a really nice compilation/reprint book that I've seen at my local comic shop (not sue if it has all the comics).

Hopefully, they'll start putting a new ep up every week like they did with Yo-Kai Watch. With Yo-Kai watch they'd put up a new ep every week that was a few eps behind what was airing on TV, while removing the previous week's ep. It was great, because I got to watch a lot of the first season without having Disney XD. Not to get off topic, but I've noticed recently Disney has been putting up the first ep of their new shows on YT. When watching that DuckTales ep I saw in the related videos that they put up the first ep of that new Raven show. I watched a few mins of it, cuz I remember seeing the original back when it was on and it's pretty much more of the same (if you liked that show).

Dancing Mog Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The Ducktales reboot doesn't start its season until Sept 23 I think is what I read but that is around the time most shows start new seasons is mid-late Sept. Quote Link to comment
Carl321 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I am legit shocked at how GOOD this is. Launchpad is adorable and the writing is just fantastic. Donald and McStabberson ship'd. I haven't been this into a show since Gravity Falls. Can't wait for more! Quote Link to comment
The_Fool Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I never watched the old Ducktales, and have no nostalgia for it. Once I heard Alex Hirsch was involved with it though, I had to give it a try. It's great, and exactly what I expected of the people behind it. I'm very excited for more. Quote Link to comment
Weaver Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah this definitely gave me gravity falls vibes, but was ultimately far less charming. It felt like a poor imitation in a duck tales skin, which to be frank is pretty underwhelming. But it shows promise, so we'll see. Quote Link to comment
Sir Grim Locksmith VIII Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Watching this made me realize how strange the "Duck" family is presented. Like, everyone's just an extended relative to another and not a direct relative. Scrooge is the uncle to Donald, and Donald is the uncle to Huey, Dewy, and Louie. Where did all the direct relatives go? Quote Link to comment
