History Recap / Ducktales2017S2E8TreasureOfTheFoundLamp

* DopeSlap: Louie slaps Dewey out of annoyance at his heroic monologues.

* AnAesop: Family heirlooms can be just as valuable to a person as any treasure. Scrooge is actually so heartened by Djinn's story that he opts to tell the kids the various stories behind the artifacts he's acquired over the years.

** Louie is still traumatized by [[Recap/DuckTales2017S1E16DayOfTheOnlyChild his encounter with Doofus Drake]], who still keeps abusing his parents.

* GrailInTheGarbage: Carelessly stowing mystical artifacts in his garage with mundane paraphernalia comes back to bite Scrooge when Louie mistakes the titular lamp for old rubbish that won't be missed if he sells it. More literally, Doofus throws it away after he's done with it. The thing is, it ''is'' a worthless piece of junk to the average joe, but to Djinn, it has sentimental value.

* DirtyCoward: After recovering his lamp from Ma Beagle in badass fashion, Djinn asks if anyone else would like to try him on his birthday. The assembled Beagle Boys immediately back off, with one even meekly saying, "Happy birthday."

* AdaptationalBadass: Dijon in the original movie was an IneffectualSympatheticVillain compared to Merlock. Here, renamed Djinn, he is an ace swordsman and a BadassBiker who could qualify for TheDreaded.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: TheReveal of Faris Djinn being a descendant of a genie is quite obvious when you consider that his last name is based on the Arabic word "jinn" or "genie".

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original movie, Dijon was a greedy {{Mook}} for Merlock. Here, while he is threatening Scrooge, he says he is seeking the lamp to ensure that it is safe. It turns out the lamp is a family heirloom (it held the genie who, once freed by the woman who last held the lamp, married her; Djinn is their descendant), and he wants it back for purely sentimental reasons.

* BloodlessCarnage: Djinn is seen slashing at the Beagle Boys with his scimitar. While no blood or cuts are shown, the Beagle Boys he attacks end up laying face down.

* WorthlessTreasureTwist: Played with in that the lamp's lack of value is something that would be fairly obvious to most of the characters who have laid their eyes on it, but Djinn oversold it's nature that made others believe otherwise. As it turns out, the boys were right from the beginning that it doesn't have any stellar value (the lack of magic proved just as much), but rather it had ''sentimental'' value. Djinn meant that if he doesn't get it back, [[HeroicBSOD it would break his heart]].

* OurGeniesAreDifferent: The Genie in this episode was the classic wish-granting slave. However, he fell in love with his master, who [[FreeTheGenie wished for his freedom]], which in change turned him into a mortal man. He married his master and had children, and Djinn is his descendant ten generations later.

* ShoutOut: In Djinn's backstory, the genie is [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} a muscular figure with blue skin]].

* ChekhovsGun: The lamp that opens a portal to the Land of the Dead comes back when needing to find Duckworth.

* SadlyMythtaken: In the phony quest, Scrooge and Selene disguise themselves as a minotaur and ask Djinn to answer riddles (which Selene gets from a joke book). A [[RiddlingSphinx sphinx]] would have been a more appropriate choice.
