How a reboot should be 1. Starts different but doesn’t forget its past 2. Improves characters and graphics 3. Optional: Story telling being more open.

I think the ducktales reboot did very well for a reboot, and also added new things that helped the show and the possible stories to tell. Also, that animation is a breath of fresh air for 2D animation, great video

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+Bacun I love the depth of the show. It's so great.

This reboot most definitely started off well. The slick animation, the beautiful comic book-esque art style (the muted, but still varied palette of colors, and especially the halftones), the charming characters, the adventurous spirit and the faithfulness to the original are the makings of a show with so much promise, which _DuckTales 2017_ is. It also succeeds the same way that Samurai Jack S5 does; it doesn’t alienate anyone who has minimal to no knowledge about the original show or the 1960’s comics the original is based off of. But I’m a little weary about a few things. It’s funny that you use _The Loud House_ for comparisons sake, because the first of my worries is the kids stealing the spotlight from the other characters, which Lincoln and Clyde have been accused of and are kinda guilty of, especially in the second season of _The Loud House_. While it’s understandable with Lincoln and Clyde, it’s less so with this show, considering that it’ll have an overarching plot where multiple characters are clearly going to be of equal importance, and thus can’t be overshadowed. My second worry is the series trying to be _too_ modern; that expresses itself very well in the sixth (?) episode, with the discount Mark Zuckerberg-esque character. Yeah, that was not a good episode. Nevertheless, I still have the highest hopes for this show. This has already cemented itself as one of the animated greats in Disney television, along with _Phineas and Ferb_, _Gravity Falls_, _Star vs. the Forces of Evil_ and _Wander Over Yonder_. And yes, agreed on the theme songs for these shows being well-done. Good vid as always, Jay. *wink*

This show and Milo Murphy's Law are basically my favorite shows of the current Disney XD lineup. I grew up reading Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics, whether they're the classic stories from Carl Barks, the comics in the Dutch Donald Duck magazines and albums, or the Italian ones featured in pocketbooks. DuckTales 2017 is basically a love letter to both the original DuckTales, as well as Carl Barks's comics that inspired DuckTales.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+ArendAlphaEagle I hope to get around to the original one day.

I liked the tip on how to tell hewy deuey and lewy and their colors apart.

David Tennant was amazing in this pilot as Scrooge McDuck I'm glad he still has work after his run on Doctor Who ended. I don't watch Doctor Who, so the only other thing I've seen him in is Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

What do you think of the DuckTales 2017 Reboot? Anyone seen the original DuckTales first?

[@minespatch]

IT's alright. Not a fan of Huey, Dewey, and Louie sounding not like their uncle but it has premise. The animation feels way better than the Rob Renzetti Mickey Mouse cartoons, and I like the over-arching storyline. Only shame is what Secret Screenings talked about with Disney XD changing the schedule to switch episodes order for holidays and other things.

Fun fact: Flintheart Glomgold was originally South African in comics. Here promoting his Scottish nature makes it clear he's hiding it.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+Franciszek Rychlewicz I did not know that.

[@Theagames10]

*Cue "The More You Know" theme*

[@matthewkreps3352]

Funner fact. Disney is trying to get voice actors of the same nationality as their characters. Scrooge is voiced by Scottish David Tennat for example. Glomgold is voiced by a South African. Then in Season 2 ep3, it is revealed that Glomgold is in fact from South Africa and is faking his Scottish accent as part of his rivalry with Scrooge.

[@Kopalex23]

I could mention how certain paintings found on the wall are made in the same style as Carl Barks's paintings about the life of Scrooge McDuck, one of the numerous characters that he created for the comics he wrote and drew. Many of these became recurring characters in the numerous Donald Duck comics, that are quite popular here and there in europe, in Finland for example, we have this weekly magazine "Aku Ankka" with a lot of stories with Donald Duck and other Disney characters. I find it a bit funny how Donald Duck seems more popular than Mickey Mouse in that magazine, and the other release "Aku Ankan Taskukirja" which mainly focuses on the Italian comics, a big chunk taken from the "Topolino" magazine, which is named after Mickey Mouse. But yeah, it's also interesting how characters like Gladstone, Magica, Gyro, Beagle Boys and Scrooge don't make much appearances in animation aside from DuckTales and a few specials, like the one where Goofy was a football coach and the one where Scrooge played the main role of Dickens's Christmas Carol. (also, sorry if I got some of the names wrong, I'm very used to the Finnish translations.)

[@Ammy-q4w]

I have seen some of the original Ducktales, but I don't remember much of it. I remember the boys having the typical troublemaker stereotype personality and the other characters didn't have a whole lot to go off of either, but it wasn't bad. But, this one gives a whole lot more to all the characters, plot, and surroundings that the original lacked. It's good to see when reboots learn from the originals mistakes and go above and beyond!

[@BobbyBrotworst]

I must admit, this was one of the first reboots i actually thought was done very well. I also grew up with the lates 80s version which was big shoes to fill!

If you like the show I would highly recommend the original comics by Carl Barks that was the inspiration for DuckTales. Fantagraphics has a great collection of some of those at this point. You can also google "Carl Barks oil paintings" and see some of the paintings they referenced in the new show. Some of these are "Flying Dutchman"/ "Always another rainbow"/ "Nobody's Spending Fool".

[@adcgdsin9320]

Alpha Jay, you should talk about this show again. From all of the reactors and reviews I've seen (Blue Order, Headband Guy, Seannicus, etc), they've unanimously enjoyed the series. I'm in the same boat, I love the series and kind of think it's underrated (ie, it's not talked about often). There's lots of funny moments, fantastic arcs for most of the characters, cool animation, and much more. There's rarely a bad episode. If there is one, it's usually "eh" or "meh" at worst. Even in some of those bad episodes are some of the best jokes/animations in the series. What I will tell you without spoilers is that this show starts out pretty strong and then ends with a bang. You should totally check it out.

[@Narnia61]

I've seen the episodes a few times on Disney Channel. I never saw the original.

[@Office_chair]

It's the Future 4 years later and I'm pretty sure the show has officially ended. I never watched the og DuckTales me and my sister might but the reboot was actually pretty good I felt like some of the plots were good some being a little bit worse than others *cough cough* fowl. And a few loose ends and things that you would think would be brought up again later as an actual episode but never did. Other than that the whole reboot was pretty good. It's actually something I would rewatch and not really get bored of.

+4snek WolFirE Ayy, thanks for stopping by.

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

This show started out RIGHT.

[@HeilRay]

It started off well, but it quickly descended in hindsight. There's practically no Scrooge and waaay too much Schtick with Webby despite being sheltered and trained to handle anything, BUT one uping the even the most street savy boy of the trio when things get hairy. Instead of an arc with her getting use to being out with people for a change, Webby ends up doing pretty much better than Huey Duey and Louie. Granted this is much better than old Webby but that is not saying much at all. On that topic, The three brothers were usually a LOT more capable than how they're portrayed in both the original show and especially the comics. It becomes even more apparent considering the new show claims to take more inspiration from the comics. The boys are young and inexperienced compared to how they'd be older but they were so resourceful, they even showed Scrooge a thing or two in some chapters, teaching the old duck some new tricks. The new show makes Huey Deuy and Louie practically bumbling mooks and some scenes are unbearable. I'm glad Ducktales is back but I pray to the duck waifu gods that the writing gets better for the boys and Webby cause I'm guessing we're not getting as much Beakly, Launchpad and Scrooge compared to the young ducks.

[@doraeguyakaneddie6586]

[@genxlife]

I'm also a superfan of the Ducktales reboot.

[@dfghjklkjhgfdsa]

See, Ducktales 2017 is one of those shows, where every episode I've seen is good. Every episode I've actually watched is structurally competent (even my current favorite show has structure problems at times), but I just can't get into it. I blame the voice work on the kids 1000%. The show has good voice direction, but the voices for the kids make them sound like they are in they're late teens! If these were suppose to be kids in their early teens, I could make a pass, like I give Star VS and Milo Murphys Law, but they are supposed to be these kids, and it's distracting. It's easy for me to see the good character writing, but impossible for me to get attached to their characters because I'm so aware I'm hearing a voice. Now, it's okay for a voice actor to be recognizable, if they blend into the character really well (like Weird Al blends with Milo) but these voice actors are ones I recognize because they are EVERYWHERE on Disney. Just doesn't blend, no matter how good their delivery is. It's a great show, but have just failed at attaching myself to it, no matter how good it is. I mean, I hate to continue to bring up MML, but the voice actor for Webby is the same voice actor for Sara (Milo's sister), and the voices and delivery is very similar sometimes, but the voice fits the Sara character, who is an older teen, more then it fits Webby, so there are moments when I hear Webby talking, and I become very aware that I'm listening to that voice actor. Distracting. One thing that you mentioned that I agree with, Disney XD has been killing it with characterization. Hell, on some of their shows the good character writing and the viewers attachment to the characters save whole episodes. Good video, and a long one too! Yay XD

[@deviousj5868]

Strong start but its on hiatus. With no new eps for awhile its slowed down. So it doesnt get aired as much. But, and that's a big but when it comes back the ratings may skyrocket. All and all I say Ducktales 2017 hits all the marks adds and includes all the characters and handles them well. It grabs references and homages from all forms of Ducktales media and melds em together really well. The only other time a Reboot do this and do it as well was TMNT 2012. So in conclusion this was a heartwarming, adventurous and action packed making this a definitive Reboot.

[@anirex3919]

I kind of want to watch these DuckTales dissections more often, because the premise of DuckTales is very similar to the premise of this project I'm working on, what with the idea of a group of people going on adventures for the sake of adventures, and I feel like I could learn a lot from it. I honestly just wanna focus on writing for now, because thinking about the visual flaws just straight up makes me uncomfortable.
