History YMMV / DuckTales

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The Duck Tales NES game is very much in the running for being the best example of this trope being ''averted''; the game actually became a classic and is considered one of the finest games made during the 8-bit era, by {{Capcom}} or ''anyone''. Its sequel is rare, but had similar reception. In modern times, it's ranked up along with ''Game/GoldenEye'' and ''KingdomHearts'' (which is, interestingly, another Disney property) as an example of a licensed game done ''right''.

* [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames No Problem With Licensed Games]]: The first game especially is one of the best on the NES.

* MagnificentBastard: The Phantom Blot.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_80PQ543rM Moon theme]] from the {{Capcom}} video game. The TV show's theme ("Duck Tales, whoo-oo!") is also one of the catchiest theme songs of all time.
** [=CarboHydroM=]'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rEtC-4gzyI remix of the Moon theme]], like most of his work, takes the awesome factor to new heights.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Music of this kind almost always plays whenever it involves Webbie.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Music of this kind almost always plays whenever it involves a tender moment with Webby.

* MoralEventHorizon: The Beagle Boys mainly resort to burglary and thievery throughout the show, and don't really harm anyone. However, they cross this line BIG time in the series finale, when they [[spoiler: turn Huey, Dewey, and Louie into golden statues, essentially killing them...though the effect is reversed at the end of the episode]]. They get their comeuppance when they [[spoiler: suffer the same fate]].

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Completely averted. The first game especially is one of the best on the NES.

* CompleteMonster: Merlock, the BigBad of TheMovie. He's an evil sorcerer who used to own the Genie's lamp. He has a talisman that lets him have as many wishes as his heart desires. His first wish was to be immortal, and that's probably the nicest wish he ever made. After that, he ended up using one wish to sink Atlantis just because he couldn't get a reservation and another to destroy Pompeii just because he was mad at the time. This guy is so evil that even centuries later the Genie is absolutely petrified of him.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBzR8Oxgofk The soundtrack to the movie]] by David Newman is pretty awesome as well.

** The Genie from TheMovie also qualifies. He was pretty much enslaved by Merlock, a CompleteMonster who forced him to do horrible things and left him tramatized of the guy even centuries later.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBzR8Oxgofk The soundtrack to the movie]] by David Newman is [[{{Understatement}} pretty awesome]] as well.

** Gizmo Duck, plain and simple. He turned an accountant into the most powerful array of mechanical components and accessories who is a bodyguard and security guard for Scrooge, as well as a super hero to Duckburg and even went on to help DarkwingDuck protect St. Canard.

*** NostalgiaCritic lists it as the ''singlemost EarWorm-y'' theme song ever. He still knows the words.

* TheScrappy: Bubba. YourMileageMayVary.

** Glittering Goldie, who appeared in a handful of episodes despite only appearing in one CarlBarks story. Rosa also padded out the character a lot in comcis that mostly came ''after'' the show, including his [[TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck epic masterpiece]].
