I love how this episode shows how much Darkwing cares for his daughter. There was genuine love when it showed how badly Gosalyn "running away" affected him. I really like the parent-child dynamic in stories, especially when they aren't blood related.

[@rogue7723]

I just kinda thought Darkwing and Launchpad's thinking that Gosalyn ran away was a _bit muddied._ Maybe if they thought Megavolt and/or Quackerjack _killed_ Gosalyn it'd make sense for Darkwing to just go insane because the crime of St. Canard cost him his daughter, so it got personal for him. But that's just my two cents.

[@razertheredlantern6203]

@Rogue the L.I-Princess I agree. What probably happened was that the writers wanted to do that, but Disney said no to keep it "kid-friendly." The episode was already pretty dark.

Life, The Negaverse, and Everything is more fridge horror...they depict a terrible universe, but not that much darkness on their own. It becomes much darker once our imaginations expand upon the concept...what day to day life would be like, how Negaduck likely abuses alt-Gosalyn, etc.

Omg I finally have a good recommendation it’s that new Mickey Mouse Halloween special mainly the one where Minnie’s a witch and bakes Huey, Dewey, Louie and mickey’s two nephews who’s name escapes me get baked into pies = part funny and terrifying plus one of the last roles of Russi Taylor RIP.

Mickey's nephews are named Morty and Ferdy. Don't think I've seen that particular cartoon, though.

Dear NC. I have had an idea which I think you might consider doing. It’s another film themed month and that is streak month. I would love to see you review these movies and share your opinion along with some good ol’ nostalgia. Sincerely: a person who does not have to remember it because you do it for me.

god i loved this series, Darkwing Duck never came off as a "Batman Knockoff" like some of the haters called it, it definitely drew inspiration from Batman, quite heavily i might add, but it never went without the quirky sense of humor it had.

[@warriorfella]

I began rewatching Darkwing Duck recently and I like it even more because the comedic and gloomy tones are balanced. 1990's cartoons still are the shit

[@TheFManInk]

Hey nostalgia critic do a review on dumb and dumber Harry met Lloyd please

[@Laughys_Madh0use]

I'm watching darkwing on Disney + because of this. Thanks for introducing me to my new favourite character man

[@raelogan]

I love this episode, especially because QuackerJack and Megavolt are in it as well. :P

Hello, I do have 2 "dark" cartoons "the walls are alive" and "the curse of the ferry dog" form 101 dalmatian street

Speaking of Superman, I think you should do a Nostalgia Critic of Superman: Red Son. There's some pretty twisted stuff in it, like Superior Man getting mutated by an overdose of electricity, and the Soviet Batman blowing himself up with a hand grenade after bombing a museum. (The graphic novel is a great read too).

[@lucasshaver7789]

The animated version of the graphic novel was surprisingly better than I thought it would be

This is the best episode, and the most memorable one. One scene I remember after all these years, was when they had to go to Disneyland for some reason, but the guard wouldn't let him in, cause he never heard of a Darkwing Duck, so he had to cosplay as Donald Duck, which may have hurt his ego.

[@jimmy200570]

This episode is so awesome because Darkwing Duck could become the best villain, who thinks himself is justice.

If I remember correctly, Goselyn creates a superhero persona of her own. It was basically a Green Arrow pastiche.

[@MartinGarcia-ok5hb]

Yup, believe it was Quiverwing Quack
