History YMMV / DuckTales2017

** Scrooge and Magica, as par for the course -- from her obsession with owning Scrooge's most prized possession, calling him "Scroogey," borrowing his canonical love interest's CatchPhrase ("You're Scrooge [=McDuck=]!"), to, most conspicuously, her sincere, profound disappointment at finding him in such a "pathetic" state in the Season 1 finale. Instead of being glad taking the dime from her enemy will be easier than she thought, she's upset she won't get a grand showdown with her WorthyOpponent and actually gives Scrooge a GetAholdOfYourselfMan speech to get some fight back in him. The reboot makes it even easier to imagine Magica has an unspoken motive behind her obsession with Scrooge than any previous incarnations. (It doesn't hurt that their actors have good chemistry together and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_Rs16JyNA have played couples before]].)

** Quite a few die-hard fans of the original have openly expressed dislike (or downright hatred) of the new animation and art style, going as far as to call it "cheap Flash garbage" (ignoring the fact that it's not animated in Flash).

** “The Life and Crimes of Scrooge [=McDuck=]!” feels particularly hamfisted since it starts InMediaRes with Scrooge lecturing Louie on taking responsibility for his actions. This ignores how Louie has already done so several episodes in the past so it comes across as a CompressedVice, but the episode chugs ahead with a major revelation in Magica’s backstory that dramatically recontextualizes her and Scrooge’s antagonism in a subplot many feel should’ve had its own episode, all so the episode can deliver monologues on Scrooge and Louie’s legacy.

** "Last Christmas" had Russi Taylor return once more...and how fitting a title since she died less than a year later.

** Bradford Buzzard, for being an evil mastermind yet still thinking like an accountant ... in a way that makes him terrifyingly savvy in a way few previous villains have been. Magica had ancient powers and Lunaris had a space fleet, but Bradford Buzzard has read the EvilOverlordList and doesn't take stupid risks.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Despite its SeasonalRot entry, this is the general consensus to Season 3. While it does have a few good episodes here and there and it does execute a few plots well, it's generally considered the weakest season of the show's three seasons. That being said, many fans agree that it hasn't gone downhill to the same extent as [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents other]] [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy animated]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons shows]].

** The Danish dub actually replaces "Happy Birthday to You" with the well-known Danish birthday song, "''I dag er det Oles fødselsdag''" ("Today it is Ole's birthday"), [LipLock even if it doesn't properly match the lip movements]. This can be heard in the Danish-dubbed version of the promotional short centered around Donald, as well as in the dubbed version of "The Beagle Birthday Breakout!".

* AcceptableTargets:
** Roxanne Featherly is one to modern in-your-face "gotcha" journalists.
** Scrooge's Board of Directors are a literal [[StealthPun committee of vultures]], and are not portrayed in a particularly flattering light. [[spoiler:They also turn out to be villains who are heavily implied to be siphoning Scrooge's funding for their own organization, F.O.W.L.]]

* [[AuthorsSavingThrow/DuckTales2017 Author's Saving Throw]]

** Della and [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Rocket Raccoon]], after the reveal that [[spoiler:she has a mechanical leg. "I'm gonna get that leg!"]]

** Dr. Akita, Gyro's former boss, is revealed to have crossed it in the past [[spoiler:as he deliberately turned 2-BO into a WeaponOfMassDestruction behind Gyro's back, resulting in great damage to the city of Tokyolk and Gyro disowning 2-BO for something that wasn't truly his fault]].

** Upon Frank Angones revealing that [[spoiler:one of the protagonists would die]], fans began joking that it would be Louie.

--->'''Dewey:''' [[spoiler:Mom?]]

** While Jim Cummings is usually great, he's especially so here as Jim Starling, the original Darkwing Duck. What clinches it, though, [[spoiler:is his terrifying portrayal of Jim after he completely loses his mind and becomes Negaduck, really selling the FaceHeelTurn]].
** Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos, best known for [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 Mickey Mouse]] has earned praise for his performance as Storkules thanks to being a Main/LargeHam and a Main/NiceGuy. He also sounds almost exactly like Creator/JimCummings when voicing [[spoiler:Drake Mallard, the new Darkwing Duck]].
** Creator/JamesMonroeIglehart's previous work for Disney included the Genie in the original Broadway cast for ''Aladdin'', Lance Strongbow in [[WesternAnimation/TangledtheSeries Tangled: the Series]], and Bronzino in [[WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor Elena of Avalor]], all heavily comedic characters. So not only was casting him as [[spoiler:Taurus Bulba]] a ''major'' case of PlayingAgainstType for him, but he gave a crazed, sinister, truly threatening performance to completely justify it.

** In the fanfic, Fanfic/LegendOfTheThreeCaballerosDarkSignsOfTheSun, the sixth chapter shows that the ''Three Caballeros'' world is connected to the Ducktales one, with Daisy already acquainted with Launchpad. The chapter was uploaded just ''three weeks'' before it was revealed that [[spoiler:Daisy is appearing in Ducktales.]]
** Not long after the premiere of “Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!”, a fan on Tumblr [[https://lennythereviewer.tumblr.com/post/173836697795/negaduck-edit-whenever-that-longer-darkwing edited a screenshot of Darkwing Duck to make him look like Negaduck]]. This post definitely aged like wine after [[spoiler:the ending of “The Duck Knight Returns!”.]]

** Quite a few fans only expressed interest once it was revealed that WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck was making an appearance, and teased that Creator/JimCummings would be [[RoleReprise voicing him again]]. [[spoiler:And now that it's been revealed that he wasn't playing Darkwing, but '''Negaduck'''...]]

** From "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!": [[spoiler:"Let's Get Dangerous!" - in Creator/JimCummings's voice, no less.]]

** If you are a fan of [[spoiler:''/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'']], then the sound of Webby drinking [[spoiler:Gummiberry Juice]] in the episode "From the Confidential Casefiles of Agent 22" takes you right back.
* NarmCharm: The [[LoopholeAbuse loophole]] that Huey and Louie find to defeat Bradford Buzzard in the finale is that it's impossible for Scrooge never adventure in exchange for his family's safety because "Family is the greatest adventure of all". Many fans agreed that while it was extremely cheesy, it fit the theme of the series so well that it worked either way.

** [[https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/175887139336/so-how-come-you-guys-could-get-jim-cummings-to The replacement of fan favorite]] Creator/JimCummings with Jaime Camil as [[WesternAnimation/TaleSpin Don Karnage]] has provoked this reaction from many fans. The purpose is so the character would be voiced by a Latino actor, fitting for Don Karnage's supposed ethnicity; but the most scholarly of ''[=TaleSpin=]'' fans know that Karnage's accent is intentionally "[[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent a mix of Spanish, Cuban, French, and Ricky Ricardo]]" and tying him down to one particular, accurately-portrayed background is sort of missing the point. (His new design, with a broader snout and no tail, has also drawn criticism, not so much because the new design is ''unappealing'' per se as because the change was really unnecessary.)
** Similarly, some fans of ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros'' aren't happy that José Carioca and Panchito will be recast for their appearance in Season 2, especially since both their actors from that show have already provided voice work for the new ''Ducktales'' cartoon[[note]]Eric Bauza (Jose in ''Legend of the Three Caballeros'') as all of the Beagle Boys and Jaime Camil (Panchito in ''Legend of the Three Caballeros'') as Don Karnage[[/note]]. Knowing the creators' preference for ActorSharedBackground, it's justified for José (as Eric Bauza is an American-Canadian dual citizen rather than Brazilian), but not for Panchito (as Jamie Camil ''is'' Mexican). And that's not even getting into how Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (Panchito) and Creator/RobPaulsen (Jose) are ''again'' being replaced despite voicing them on ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/MickeyAndTheRoadsterRacers'' .

** A similar case happens in "Last Christmas!" while some were glad to have Russi Taylor voice young Donald in the same voice she used for Huey, Dewey and Louie in the 1987 [=DuckTales=], others wonder why they didn't just pitch Tony's Donald voice higher, like with the triplets in ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' and a few other properties.

** Though Chris Diamantopoulos was praised for his performance as Drake Mallard in "The Duck Knight Returns!", considering how Creator/JimCummings was cast as Jim Starling aka [[spoiler:Negaduck]], some fans wished this had gone full circle and cast Cummings as Drake Mallard as well. Then again, [[AnAesop the theme of the episode]] was about accepting newcomers who prove to do a capable and passionate job at performing, so this may be somewhat justified.

** [[spoiler: General Lunaris]] for being an [[CannonForeigner original villain]] in the reboot and proving to be a master planner managing to outsmart everyone several times and comes nearly close to victory every time.

* FandomSpecificPlot: Since "The Duck Knight Returns", many fans have been coming up with ideas for some potential storylines.
** How Gosalyn will be introduced into the show and interact with Drake, Launchpad and the kids.
** How Drake Mallard will get involved in SHUSH, especially since Mrs. Beakley / Agent 22, had recently become a fan of the old show.
** How the rest of DWD's RoguesGallery from the original show get introduced in real-life.

* AmericansHateTingle: While many American fans arguably see the show as one of the best versions of Disney's Ducks and are glamoring them to become the new "default versions", it has had trouble catching on in the European countries where the original comics, and their direct modern successors keeping the same continuity are still very popular and widely read, with the show's versions of the characters being seen too alien and different from those versions. To put this in perspective, in Finland as well as a few other countries, Donald Duck and related characters are popular enough for a ''weekly'' comic magazine, yet even by the time the series had finished its three season run in its home country, only the first 18 episodes of season one had been dubbed and broadcasted there and the tie-in comic was quickly cancelled due to low sales.

** The tactic of using a character's in-universe board of theories, conspiracies, and connections to make {{MythologyGag}}s was previously done with Beast Boy on ''{{Teen Titans 2003}}''.
