YMMV / DuckTales S1 E5 "Nothing to Fear"

Go To

  • Harsher in Hindsight: This trope straight up comes into play when the 2017 reboot opens with Scrooge spending the first portion of the pilot not wanting the boys around. He comes around but still...
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Or Harsher in Hindsight, depending on how you look at it. Huey, Dewey, and Louie fear about growing up into troubled teenagers, to which Scrooge comforts them that he won't let that happen. Almost a decade later came Quack Pack where the boys became just that.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Magica De Spell mostly does typically villainous things, but she crossed the line when her black cloud of fear brought Scrooge and the nephews' worst psychological fears to life - an evil illusion of Scrooge telling the nephews that he never loved them and wanted to get them out of his life, and an evil illusion of the nephews telling Scrooge the same thing to him (even saying they were only ever interested in mooching off of his wealth and then throwing him out the window of his mansion.)
  • Nightmare Fuel: This episode has a substantial section on the page.
