History Recap / DuckTales2017S3E15NewGodsOnTheBlock

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** As Selene points out, the kids are still kids and giving them the powers and responsibilities of a god would be too much for them to handle. When she cuts off the kids to offer the crown to Della, Webby disappointedly admits that "Giving it to an adult makes sense."
** Zeus thinks when all the kids fail their auditions, the crown would go back to him. Selene however tells him that if none of them are worthy, they'll just look somewhere else.
** A dog in the park has a stick in its mouth. After Louie turns the stick into gold, it increases in weight and mass and the dog can no longer hold it. Louie later weaponizes this by turning the Titan's arm and leg into gold to make them too heavy to move.
** Daisy is much more of an [[UnderstandingBoyfriend understanding girlfriend]] in this version than previous versions, but even she has her limits. When it becomes clear that Donald can't set healthy boundaries with Storkules for their second date, and takes out his trash by tying a brick to the bag and sinking it to the bottom of the pool, she starts to have second thoughts. However, when she sees Donald might be in real danger, she turns around to go rescue him.

** The kids' several chances to prove they're worthy of the laurel. Louie's gold touch goes out of control and turns people into heavy gold statues, Huey becomes overwhelmed with his future sight and accelerates misfortune for others instead of trying to avert them, and Webby's well-meaning attempts to help people at the fair devolve into her going DrunkWithPower and forcing them to be happy.

* ShoutOut: Crownus having a prison inside of his ribcage resembles D'Compose, one of the monstrous villains from ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}''.

*** Zeus's plan to release the Titans in order to (re)take over the Greek Pantheon, and falling deep into the underworld at the story's conclusion, are ironically similar to Hades' plot and final fate in ''Herculaes''.

* EvilIsPetty: Glomgold is shown hogging a kiddie ride, leaving the kids upset, and then steals another child's drink to cool his heated body.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In the middle of predicting bad stuff, Huey points out that a man is about to hurt a big-headed kid because he's making everyone feel bad. A second later, he realizes he is said big-head.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Zeus has his powers taken away by the other gods because of one too many selfish actions, realizing that he is a jerk undeserving of his godhood. He gets them back by the end of the episode.

* AnAesop: You can try your hardest and put all of your heart and determination into something and still come up short. At the end of the day, your shortcomings do not dictate what you are worth, and only you can decide that.

* AbsenteeActor: Launchpad and Mrs. Beakley don't appear yet again.

* ShoutOut:
** The dog in the park bears a strong resemblance to Jock, Lady's Scottish terrier friend from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp''.
** One girl in the park looks like Melissa from ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw''.
** When Storkules releases Crownus from the Underworld, the titan raises his fist up just like when the Titans were released in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''. The depiction of the titan as a gigantic MonstrousHumanoid with an elemental appearance is also very similar to the interpretation of the Titans in ''Hercules''.
*** Also, while not fully spelled out as such, Zeus's story of how he and Storkules's mother fell in love seems to imply that in this universe she is his godly wife Hera, as was the case in the Disney film, rather than the mortal Alcmene as in the original mythology.
*** Zeus's plan to release the Titans in order to (re)take over the Greek Pantheon, and falling deep into the underworld at the story's conclusion, are ironically similar to Hades' plot and final fate in ''Herculaes''.
** Crownus having a prison inside of his ribcage resembles D'Compose, one of the monstrous villains from ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}''.
