History Awesome / Ducktales2017Season3

--->'''Launchpad:''' This Lighthouse has a bit of a...Rodent Problem!\\

* Dewey beating Jormungandr and saving the world by noting that they're NotSoDifferent, surviving every single attack he throws at him to the point the audience sympathizes with him and then having Jormungandr's partners even the odds.

* Karma finally catches up to Mark Beaks when it's revealed that a combination of his more unsavory actions and the shoddy craftsmanship of his company's products has left him with [[RealityEnsues very little support from the public]].

[[caption-width-right:350:LET'S. GET. '''DANGEROUS.''']]

'''Bradford:''' No! [[BigNo NOOOOOO!]]

* As dark as it seems, F.O.W.L established themselves as a genuine threat by stealing the Fountain of the Foreverglades, the Lost Harp of Mervana, the Lost Lamp of Collie Baba, and the Solego Circuit.

** When cornered by the [=McDuck=] statue ancestors, she uses the Blessed Bagpipes to return them back to their inanimate state and would have helped secure another F.O.W.L victory with Phantom Blot if it weren't for Matilda's emu, which was doing a better job of stopping them than the quarrelling [=McDucks=].

* In spite of F.O.W.L.'s victory this episode, the Ducks refuse to back down and are more then ready to stop F.O.W.L from getting the rest of the mysteries.

* The [=McDucks=] uniting to defeat the F.O.W.L agents and break their winning streak for the first time since Bradford was outed. Even though they may quarrel at times, the [=McDucks=] stick together and care about each other more than a few petty feuds.

* Gandra attempting to leave F.O.W.L at the end of the episode. Sure, she gets captured, but that has to take guts.

* A Meta example goes towards the writers of this episode. Despite it being a parody of sitcoms from the 90s, to the point they had Jaleel White (as in [[Series/FamilyMatters Urkel]] himself) voice Gene the Genie, they refrained from making the most obvious jokes possible by not having Gene do impersonations of Urkel ''or'' Jaleel's other infamous 90s role as the original voice of Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, and yet still created something hilarious in Gene's updated characterization.

''[proceeds to change Bradford [[BalefulPolymorph into a normal vulture]]]''

''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|2017}}'' Season 3 asks a simple question: How do you stop the greatest criminal syndicate in all of Creator/{{Disney}} canon? By getting help from as many other Disney canons as you can!

'''Scrooge:''' (gasps) Wait, WHAT!?

* After transforming into his monstrous OneWingedAngel form, Bradford accuses the family of having turned him into a villain. Della and Beakley aren't having any of that, and even in the middle of fighting him point out the Sword of Swanstantine only amplifies a person's true character, meaning the supervillain it turned him into is all ''him''.

''[[InstantlyProvenWrong (the contract disintegrates)]]''\\

* Webby leaps in just in time to block a sword strike from Bradford aimed at Scrooge. What does she use? The two halves of Scrooge's cane that were broken earlier in the episode.
** And of course...this moment afterwards:
---> '''Webby:''' Get away from my '''''dad!'''''\\
'''Scrooge:''' (gasps) Wait, WHAT!?

* Launchpad putting on the Gizmoduck armor to fight Steelbeak and the brainwashed classic villains after a HeroicSecondWind courtesy of many of the characters who claim to be inspired by him, like Drake, Fenton, Gosalyn, Penumbra, the Rescue Rangers, Storkules and many others. To quote DW, Launchpad truly has the heart of a hero.
--> '''Steelbeak:''' Ho-ho-ho! [[UnderestimatingBadassery And what are you supposed to be?]]\\
'''Launchpad:''' [[CallBack I'm a pilot.]]

** Scrooge gets one right back after the memory wipe; he invites Bradford to a meeting and offers to make him CFO of [=McDuck=] Enterprises. Why? [[CallForward He has a subliminal notion that Bradford is important somehow]]. Even if he couldn't put his finger on it, Scrooge had enough presence of mind to remember to keep Bradford close enough to keep an eye on him.

--> '''Manny:''' '''''[[OpeningNarration I LIVE AGAIN!]]''''' ...again.
* Bradford's reasoning for why he won't erase Scrooge from existence: Scrooge's reputation as an adventurer is so great, even his worst enemy knows coming down with a bad case of nonexistence can't stop him.

* A villainous example: Black Heron quite unexpectedly manages to FaceDeathWithDignity, fully satisfied at having corrupted Bradford into a CardCarryingVillain (even to the point that he'd backstab her). Rather than scream or curse Braford, she smiles and [[SoProudOfYou compliments Bradford on his treachery]] as she plunges to her doom. Very bold of her, considering she's about to be ''erased from existence''.
--> '''Black Heron:''' Oh Bradford, how ''villainous''... ''[disappear])''

* Lena freeing Manny from his [[TakenForGranite petrification]] before proceeding to fight Phantom Blot.
* Manny finally speaking with the voice of Creator/KeithDavid is awesome enough, but then it goes even further when he goes OneWingedAngel and grows a familiar pair of wings, just as [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} a familiar theme song]] plays. Kudos to the show's crew for slipping in the most UnexpectedCharacter of all from the Disney Afternoon right under the wire.
--> '''Manny:''' '''''[[OpeningNarration I LIVE AGAIN!]]''''' ...again.

--> '''Black Heron:''' Oh Bradford, how ''villainous''... ''(disappears)''

* It's a small moment, but when Bradford calls her April, Webby firmly tells him that her name is Webby, even when May snaps at her that her name is whatever Bradford says it is because he created her.

* Dewey and Don Karnage playing a game of chicken with their planes, with Dewey managing to smash Karnage's plane while he manages to only bust up the Cloud Slayer's wing.

* After Franken-Jeeves incapacitates Scrooge and Donald, Della reveals she has a new emergency weapon. She can take off her prosethetic and transform it into an ''axe'', which she proceeds to use to cut off Jeeves' left arm. She still gets taken down soon after, but she softens him up enough for Beakley to finish him off.

* Steelbeak used the intelligence ray on ''himself'' and becomes an even ''bigger'' challenge for the heroes. He even modifies the ray in order to brainwash Magica, Glomgold, Ma Beagle, and the Original Classics Beagle Boys into his mindless slaves.

* F.O.W.L. managing to capture anyone with a connection to Scrooge, including ''gods''.
* Webby managing to capture one of her clones and switch clothes with her so she could infiltrate F.O.W.L.
** Huey also gets props here for realizing this and as soon as he does, managing to play along.

* Gandra, Gyro, and Ludwig von Drake managing to shut the Solego vortex down just in time to save Donald from it.

-->'''Scrooge:''' Where do you think you're going?
-->'''Dewey:''' Save it. We're coming.
-->'''Gosalyn:''' Fenton tried to help me get my people back. I'm gonna do the same for him.
-->'''Boyd:''' Huey made me not a killer robot.
-->'''Lena/Violet:''' [[TrueCompanions It's]]. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis WEBBY]].
-->'''Louie:''' So are gonna do that thing where you tell us not to go, and we sneak along anyway?
-->'''Dewey:''' Or are we gonna go get our family back?
-->'''Scrooge:''' ''(beat) motions them onto the plane''

-->'''Huey:''' Bradford, your contract is flawed!\\

* Magica De Spell finishing Bradford by transforming him into a non-sapient vulture as payback for being trapped by him in the library, preceded by Ma Beagle and Glomgold coldly dissing Bradford for thinking he could be Scrooge's greatest bad guy.
-->'''Ma Beagle''': Really? And you're supposed to be Scrooge's greatest villain?\\
'''Glomgold''': [[CallBack He's not even wearing a kilt.]]\\
'''Bradford:''' [[VillainsWantMercy Please, no!]] [[NeverMyFault I'm not a villain!]]\\
'''Magica:''' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner No, you certainly]] [[TranquilFury are not...]]\\
''(proceeds to change Bradford [[BalefulPolymorph into a normal vulture]])''
** The sheer the fact that Bradford, who had spent the whole series untouchable, [[AintTooProudToBeg is reduced to begging for his life.]]

-->'''Manny:''' '''''[[OpeningNarration I LIVE AGAIN!]]''''' ...again.

-->'''Black Heron:''' Oh Bradford, how ''villainous''... ''(disappears)''

-->'''Steelbeak:''' Ho-ho-ho! [[UnderestimatingBadassery And what are you supposed to be?]]\\
