History Fridge / DuckTales2017S1E9TheImpossibleSummitOfMtNeverrest

* Scrooge was probably being more intentionally reckless with the supplies than usual because him being weighed down by supplies was what caused Mallard to cut him loose in the past. He not only wanted to get farther than Mallard, he wanted to prove he wasn't the same young, wimpy duck who was too scared of losing his equipment to keep going.

* The T-Shirt Mallard's skeleton is wearing (for that matter, how in the world did Mallard's body decay to a skeleton in a frozen cave in the first place?). The 'I Didn't Survive Mt. Neverrest' T-shirt that is sold ''in that exact style'' back at the tourist trap at Mt. Neverrest's base. It's highly unlikely those shirts have been on sale for 75 years with no change, especially since Scrooge is surprised by the tourist trap's very existence. Meaning that someone must have found him in that cave and put the shirt on him... and then promptly got lost trying to find their way back and likely died on the mountain themselves.

* When Huey gets confused while charting Mount Neverrest, he scribbles "WTD?" on the map. Although the "D" can stand for several GoshDangItToHeck-type swearwords (e.g. "deuce" or "devil"), it most likely stands for "duck" given the setting. Which is a very subtle way of GettingCrapPastTheRadar considering [[PrecisionFStrike what word it sounds similar to]].

* The sheer fact that Scrooge has had people use their dying breaths cursing his very name. How many people would that be? Would they all be his enemies or someone he only perceived as enemies? Worse, would the story "The Empire Builder from Calisota" be somewhat canon in this continuity?
** Considering that WordOfGod said ''ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck'' was a mandatory read for the writer crew, and Scrooge's backstory in this continuity largely follows that one, one can assume that "The Empire Builder from Calisota" is canon here.
** Except the events of said story led to Scrooge being estranged from his family, which didn't happen in this continuity until much later and happened for a different reason. If the story is canon then it'd have to explain why Della and Donald continued to adventure with Scrooge.
*** [[ForWantOfANail He accepted his sisters' "bygones" offer?]]
* Avalanche. Snow and ice covers the whole town and tourist attractions and possibly killing dozens (if not hundreds of people). Do I have say more?

* Why is Scrooge so obstinate about getting to the top of Mt. Neverrest, even at the cost of putting his family in danger? His [[FatalFlaw ''pride'']]. Scrooge's pride took a huge hit [[spoiler: 75 years ago when he not only failed, but was betrayed and humiliated to boot]] and he's aiming to settle the score. Plus, Scrooge really doesn't like admitting defeat. The fact that Huey is at all capable of talking him into it is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome in and of itself.

* Avalanche. Snow and ice covers the whole town and tourist attractions and possibly killing dozens (if not hundreads of people). Do I have say more?

* Don't people care that famous billionaire/adventurer Scrooge McDuck was the Neverrest Ninny? It's something his rivals would have used against him for spite.
** Nobody probably knows. Scrooge last went up Mt Neverrest 75 years ago, he's probably the only living person still alive who knows he was the Neverrest Ninny. (Huey lampshades that noone's used the word "Ninny" in ages)
** More significantly, nobody really cares. Scrooge was beaten by the mountain, but so was everybody else. When everyone loses all the time, the best thing one can do is give up and accept it, which Scrooge eventually learns and appreciates.

* The reason why so many climbers are lost on the mountain isn't just because the portals keep them from the summit. It's also shown that more than a few portals that can be encountered going down the mountain will deposit you further back up it. Not only could these ill-fated explorers not get to the top, they ''couldn't get back down either''.
