>>474311 Can't speak as to other anons but I found the '17 version to be a considerable step down in both art quality and writing quality. I simply didn't engage with the new show, though (despite constantly being pestered by online peers about how "oh no it's totally good now!").
I don't even think I'm that hard to please, I liked the She-Ra reboot/reimagining well enough. But Ducktales felt more like the dreadful Animaniacs 2020 reboot.
>>474416 I wouldn't go that far. 17 was definately lacking something and concessions to modern writing tropes was some of it; Glomgold was allowed to be intimidating all of once and the woman who replaced him was dull as dishwater, Scrooge was rarely allowed to be as mean as he should, Donald being so absent you wonder why they bothered, Della being better at flying than Launchpad and Kit Cloudkicker.
But they wanted to do something. There was ambition, perhaps too much ambition, since season 3 was so much about trying to push this revival of the Disney Afternoon Disney clearly wasn't sold on. Which is a shame, I'd love to hear more about that Rescue Rangers revival pitch.
But like a lot of the ideas in even season 1 that had legs, like the McDucks and De Spells having some ancient feud that Scrooge and Magica were the latest to be caught up in, kind of fizzled. I'd call seasons 1 and 2 solid enough and promising but the one I thought I wanted, FOWL taking the reigns and fun crossover stuff, had the most stinkers.
The Talespin episode especially was SUCH a waste considering how good a Talespin and Ducktales crossover could be.
>>474420 I didn't even know they had a Talespin episode! I'm almost afraid to look it up, as that was one of my favorite shows in the old Disney Afternoon lineup and my mind is already constructing this elaborate pulpy air adventure for the characters.
>>474422 A lot of the redesigns were fine. Darkwing Duck even gave us a half decent origin for Negaduck and some excellent Quackerjack dialogue.
Holy fuck did the Talespin episode suck. It was just like "Kit Cloudkicker takes over Higher for Hire after Baloo and Rebecca retire, ends up being a shit pilot and failure who's bailed out by Molly at the last second and we learn to just stick to what we were good at when we were 12."
>>474440 Its a bad Talespin episode, a bad Ducktales episode and a real mark on Della's otherwise fairly good showing as a character. Like I sometimes am still taken aback that Disney put out an episode saying "Just give up your dreams kid."
All and all I'm kind of glad this team didn't get to actually write the Rescue Rangers because of that awful movie because I bueno at their Gadget.
>>474996 >Love or hate the show you have to admit Ducktales has the hottest designs ever for majority of the characters Furries really do have no fucking taste.
