Your video won't display

Just linked it now, I'm too stupid for that embedding x)

Its pretty simple, you put in "youtube:" then the part in the link after "v=", and then put the whole thing in square brackets.

Sometimes the link will automatically try to insert a time stamp, in that case, use the link from the share button under the video.

Sometimes there's a lot of information after v=

You just need the video id. Anything else will break the embed. So take everything between v= and an &

Ok, thx :) Here it is properly

So, what does everyone here think about what they are doing with Magica? I know we haven't seen much of her yet, but I think we can get general first impressions at least.

I think they're running the risk of spending too much time building her up and then either having her take over the whole show or making her underwhelming when she's dealt with in an episode or two. Ducktales is basically an episodic show — it's about whatever this week's adventure is. That doesn't mean they have to use the Reset Button every episode or just use straight-up Negative Continuity, but I also don't think the show really needs a Myth Arc, either.

We really haven't seen enough of her for me to have a strong opinion on her portrayal. From what we've seen, she seems cool. My main worry is that they'll needlessly epicify Magica into some generic cosmic threat that barely resembles the character as we know her, kind of like what Epic Mickey did with the Phantom Blot.

That is my concern as well.

I noticed something funny about the official Duckburg map. There's a building in the Finacial District that has a billboard with non-anthro Ducks on it!

Also, this is was to cute not to share. It's a fan comic featuring Scrooge being adorable over how he's going to be a great uncle. The character designs are a bit all over the place in terms of style and influences, but I still really like it. Also, it has Ludwig von Drake, which is always a plus in my book!

OG Ducktales meets new Ducktales My favorite interaction is how reboot Donald is trying to pull original Dewy back in the car, like "I have no idea what's going on here, but it's my kid so I'm going to protect him."

I just saw the Phantom Blot in the original DT, but he was so hammy it was impossible to take him seriously as a villain. Hopefully the new version will be better.

I'm not sure how the rights work with him. I know they can't use Mickey, but I don't know about Mickey Villains.

See here for a review of his original DT episode, as well as a short history of the Blot in comics.

Is the Blot confirmed for this series? If he appears, I wouldn't mind John O'Hurley voicing him again. The Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse version of the character was actually pretty spot-on.

Wasn't he on the picture of the DT character sheet?

Maybe? I'll have to check.

I'm hoping that they reference that Donald is an amazing cook. It's just such a nice little bit of characterization from the comics, and really helps flesh him out.

The Mickey absence isn't an issue of rights, AFAIK, it's an issue of tradition. Mickey doesn't generally appear in Duck Comics stuff or vice versa. They do, however, share a bunch of characters. Which includes the Phantom Blot and Pete, so seeing both/either of them is possible.

Could someone double-check the photo of the character sheet to see if the Blot's there? I don't remember where it was posted.

Found them.

here's◊ the Villains one. I don't see the Phantom blot though. And here's◊ another Screenshot for reference.

this is very noncannon to most versions of Duck Comics, but look at how small and adorable baby Donald is!

The next Ducktales airs on December 2.

Of course it does. Because snow. Everybody loves snow.

well these are the people that asked Frank to have three episodes in a row where the Ducklings wear shorts for summer. He had to point out that how can they wear shorts if they don't wear pants!

I have a fanfic recommendation for you guys. It's AU of Darkwing Duck, where the it was an actual television show that ended several years ago under mysterious circumstances, and Drake Mallard and his adopted daughter Goselyn have been running from it ever since. It does take a bit to really pick up, and there's a lot of twists and turns, but it's really good.

And here's a few updates to Theme Song Watch:

Italian

French

This implications of this made me laugh. Tad Stones retweeted a 3D model of Darkwing's Gas Gun, and mentioned that their was supposed to be an actual reason why it had the purple rings on it, and Frank Angones commented:

To which Tad responded:

Doesn't the gas gun already recoil when it is fired, in the rubbery cartoon gun manner?
