History NightmareFuel / DuckTales2017Season3

** According to WordOfGod, Bushroot's appearance is inspired by a source of NightmareFuel from the original Darkwing Duck, [[https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/632423609532645376/so-whats-the-story-behind-bush-root-design-for that being the episode Twin Beaks.]]

* Akita is a MadScientist, who callously sees B.O.Y.D. as nothing more than a tool of destruction, and [[WouldHurtAChild actively tries to use him to destroy and kill.]] His actions haunted Gyro to the point where he lost all his optimism and considers B.O.Y.D. a monster. Oh, and he has the [[Creator/CaryHiroyukiTagawa voice of Shang Tsung]], to make him even more menacing. [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Have a nice day.]]

** If anyone dare to compares this episode to [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade Donovan's death]], it's totally horrific.

* Ponce De Leon's KarmicDeath. The guy rapidly ages to a corpse then to dust after falling into his own pool, and while some of it is obscured by the water, his brief surfacing (pictured above) before dying leaves no ambiguity whatsoever about his grisly fate. Good god, Disney. As if [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Mother Gothel's death]] after losing her youth wasn't horrific enough.

* [[WhamLine "I've torn you (the Duck family) apart once before. How do you think Della found out you built the Spear of Selene?"]] With that one [[TheReveal reveal]], we realize that [[FridgeHorror Bradford]] ''[[FridgeHorror singlehandedly kicked off most of the events of the series’ plot.]]'' [[FridgeHorror Scrooge's family breaking apart leading to Magica being indirectly released, and Della getting stranded on the moon lead to Lunaris being able to invade Earth.]]

* Just to make Ponce de Leon even creepier, he has similarities with [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]]. Not only do they have similar head designs, they're both {{Manipulative Bastard}}s who become AxCrazy the moment their plans go wrong. They also both meet horrifying ends, which is clarified below.

** Bradford had ''all'' of the [=McDuck=] family's friends trapped, including the Rescue Rangers, Goofy, Bonkers, and eventually Darkwing. If he'd gotten away with it, [[KillEmAll Bradford could have eliminated]] ''[[KillEmAll the entire Disney Afternoon]]''.

* Webby impersonates Dewey ''way'' too perfectly. Huey may never look at his brother the same way again.

*** Donald Duck almost '''DIED'''! But thank goodness that he is okay and thanks to Ludwig, Gandra, and Gyro for shutting down the Solego Circuit. Still, you can't ignore the implications behind such an act--Donald being the unluckiest duck makes him the most vulnerable of the bunch. Bradford singling out Donald for his bad luck to coerce Scrooge, then throwing him down is the kind of thing you'd expect from a [[DirtyCoward spineless coward]] like him.

* After so many uses, the Ramrod will become unstable and break reality if it is used too much. Worse is that Bulba knows this and simply doesn't care, outright saying "Who ''cares'' about this world? We can make a ''better one!''"

* While he is rather dim, Steelbeak is no slouch in the villain department. He's outright happy when he finds out the adjustment he made to the intelligence-draining weapon will kill the entire city by making everyone so brainless that they will cease to know how to breathe, and only Launchpad and the Rescue Rangers keep him from going through with it.

* Bradford [[AssholeVictim may have deserved it]], but Magica [[DeathOfPersonality turning him into]] [[BalefulPolymorph a mindless pet buzzard]] is still a horrible fate. However, none of the heroes object to it, even Scrooge smiles at Magica for this.

** Bradford was probably content to work from the shadows and wait until either Donald or Della was named Scrooge's heir in hopes that the Papyrus of Binding would re-appear. Then Della got pregnant with the triplets, and three new potential successors appeared out of nowhere. So Bradford decided to eliminate that threat and focus on his cloning scheme. ''Bradford separated newborn babies from their mother and a twin from his counterpart because she interfered with his plans''.

* Akita is a MadScientist, who callously sees B.O.Y.D. as nothing more than a tool of destruction, and [[WouldHurtAChild actively tries to use him to destroy and kill.]] His actions haunted Gyro to the point where he lost all his optimism and considers B.O.Y.D. a monster. Oh, and he has the [[Creator/CaryHiroyukiTagawa voice of Shang Tsung]] to, make him even more menacing. [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Have a nice day.]]

** Akita

* Akita callously sees B.O.Y.D. as nothing more than a tool of destruction, and actively tries to use him to destroy and kill.

* Before this, Bradford attempts to manipulate Huey through using his knowledge of the Junior Woodchucks along with TheReveal that he's the grandson of Isabella Finch. He claims that he wants to simply archive the Missing Mysteries in memory of his grandmother. His attitude here is really creepy and [[AdultFear almost comes off as a child groomer]]. Huey even trusts him until Ludwig von Drake explains that all of that was a lie and that Bradford only wants to destroy adventuring for good.

* Bradford's endgame plan is to use the modified Solego Circuit not to send the Missing Mysteries to another dimension, but erase them from all reality entirely, something he's planning to do to the rest of Scrooge's family, friends and allies (and even his own agents), as well. He even planned to do the same thing to the rest of Scrooge's enemies (including Glomgold, Magica De Spell, Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys).

* While he is rather dim, Steelbeak is no slouch in the villain department. He's outright happy when he finds out the adjustment he made to the intelligence draining weapon will kill the entire city by making everyone so brainless that they will cease to know how to breathe, and only Launchpad and the Rescue Rangers keep him from going through with it.
* The fact that even though Launchpad and Dewey successfully thwarted Steelbeak, Dewey was under the impression that he was in a simulation and Launchpad's intelligence was altered after thwarting Steelbeak - and along with Bradford Buzzard's intervention, both of them essentially have no memory of actually fighting F.O.W.L. at all.

* As it turns out, when Mervanans stay in the water too long, they turn into bestial fish monsters with sharp teeth and claws that are ''really'' tough. While this had only happened to Honestus so far, if the ducks hadn't come along, it would've happened to ''all of them.''

* Falcon Graves and his goons capturing everyone at the party (including ''Webby'') with little effort.
* The fact that Falcon hates Mark Beaks so much he was willing kill both him ''and his mom'' right then and there.

** It's noteworthy that everyone is pretty much equally afraid, be they the [[BadassGrandpa experienced Scrooge]], [[TheStoic unflappable Beakley]], [[TheDitz ditzy Launchpad]] or [[BadassAdorable fighting genius Webby]]; these guys have battled with monsters, villains, and dangerous situations all the time. But ''we'' are what truly terrify them.
