DuckTales: DAY OF THE ONLY CHILD! | REVIEW | REACTION

[@carriekube7357]

5:38 - The reason they did it was they needed a foil to teach Louie the consiquences of wealth without self-control and that some of the creative team weren't really fans of the original Doofus.

[@jennisedits1074]

The Louie segment was so creepy to me. I was hesitant to watch the episode again after the premiere. I love the episode, but Doofus *shudders*

[@LaDracul]

Seriously, why did they make Doofus an antagonist? I have the same problem with Gyro being a douche in this one...why the change?

[@jennisedits1074]

LaDracul I don’t really know. I actually haven’t seen the original Ducktales though. XD

[@LaDracul]

I dunno, there's times where changes make sense and other times when it doesn't. Though I think "Voltron" is just pandering.

[@KingOfElectricNinjas]

Read the creator notes on the episode- funny thing, they deliberately searched the internet just in case there was a huge Doofus fanbase who'd be upset by the changes, and found literally three pieces of fanart. They quite deliberately used a character no one cares about as the basis for the episode.

[@gracekim1998]

LaDracul seriously you’re asking this question? Are dense?!

[@Nasir3623]

The irony is that the reboot version of doofus isn't much different from the 80s version. In the 80s series episode titled "superdoo" doofus finds an extraterrestrial diamond which gave him incredible superpowers but due to those powers he becomes selfish and arrogant and if it wasn't for his friends he would become even more selfish.The difference between this doofus and the old one is the circumstances.

[@brianlevine871]

Well that and the possible fact that he's not a Junior Woodchuck like in the original show. And I gotta admit, it's kind of weird seeing Doofus without his hat.

[@gracekim1998]

Makes sense

[@CuriousUserX90]

Ilyas Adam Thanks the pointing that out. Doofus just wanted to receive a badge that’s all.

[@Nasir3623]

As his badges increased so did his ego. " ever since you got that diamond you have been acting as you are better than all of us" - Huey duck

[@KingOfElectricNinjas]

Yeah, basically this version of Doofus is one who seemed to have been as lovable and affable as the original until he got his grandmother's fortune, and with absolutely nothing to stop him doing what he wants he spirals into a monster that doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and never takes no for an answer. On top of being like the original having gone down a bad road, he's pretty clearly presented as a foil to Louie; if he got his dreams of wealth and success without any effort and without his brothers to share it with. (also compare Gladstone Gander, whose luck makes his life nearly effortless and results in every one of his other skills stunted to nearly nothing)

[@kitsunedreamz]

Being an only child myself I really related to Webby. It's very lonely and at least for me I can be desperate to be with someone for those with siblings people like me would die for a sibling so be thankful for them :)

[@chu.u.u]

it's not possible to be happy about the sibling(s) you have/don't have. if you don't have any siblings, like you, you're lonely. if you do (like me, i have 2 brothers, both older than me) you almost always need to agree with them to do most fun things, and if that ever ends up happenening, at that point you'll probably be too annoyed with them to let them have the relief that you will all finally do something instead of arguing about it.

[@musingsofahomeschooler5332]

I shall respect what i have been given.

[@DragonBoyRW]

chu not true at all. I have an older brother and older sister and I love them with all of my soul

[@lom1991]

Gamingcraftergirl you can have my sister

[@gabrieldiniz8371]

I think it’s hard to be the oldest because it makes you have to be more responsible

[@libracortneyjoshua]

My favorite storyline had to be dewey' s "DEWEY-DEW NIGHT"🌙 🌙 🌙

[@pyrolee17]

Same, the creativity of that one had me rolling

[@ri640]

Wanna hear another joke dewey?

[@hunterlawrence3573]

It was so cute! And relatable; every kid has done something similar

[@cookiecat1067]

"Louie!" "I'm safe!" An overlooked sweet moment imo :) Fantastic video!

[@Agent_1701-D]

Truthfully, the Dewey Dew-night bit completely took me by surprise. Dewey basically wants to be Stephen Colbert/Conan O'Brien/Jimmy Fallon/Jimmy Kimmel/Jay Leno/David Letterman/Johnny Carson, etc. - it's definitely different!

[@Yoshifan1219]

Dewey’s has to be my favorite. If there was anyone one who I could to relate to, it’d be him.

[@lidhere7294]

Same!

[@KingOfElectricNinjas]

Just noticed, is it just me or do the triplets have basically square (or cubical) heads with rounded corners, while Webby's is slightly more rounded?

[@jennisedits1074]

The Huey sequence was my favorite too!

[@Shuyin781]

Jen Videos same !

[@tayojones9460]

Personally, I never liked Doofus. He was annoying in the original cartoon, and he is annoying in the new cartoon. I do hope we get more episodes exploring the beagle boys and their family dynamic.

[@ingonyama70]

Here, he's much more INTENTIONALLY irritating. Like Sean said, dude's CREEPY now, and that sets him up to be a possible recurring antagonist.

[@jinzojector6920]

Tao Jones T.jones i agree. While theyre at it bring back some of the classic beagles

[@BobtheGigglemaestro]

Can’t wait for your review on ‘The Other Bin Of Scrooge McDuck!’ That episode was INSANE.

[@cassidyfaith16]

BobtheGigglemaestro I can’t wait to see his review of an episode where Uncle Scrooge finally says something we’ve all been waiting for him to say.

[@BobtheGigglemaestro]

Cassidy Faith That too!

[@cassidyfaith16]

BobtheGigglemaestro I was really really really happy when he did it. It was so sweet.

[@chookster1583]

BobtheGigglemaestro agreed, I loved that episode, and I loved Jaw$ but the other bin made Jaw$ look rubbish

[@xena3722]

I died

[@cartoonlover4225]

GOSH I LOVE DEWEY! (I felt soooo bad about Webby in this episode tho...)

[@Shuyin781]

Cartoonlover422 not me. He was an asshole in this episode, as usual actually

[@dmcgeezy]

Shuyin781 Dewey’s my fav character tho....saying I am a kid...and ur prob older than me...cause ur allowed to cuss..

[@Shuyin781]

MysticMoon&more and also because, i didn't understood much of your message cause, well, you know...

[@dmcgeezy]

Shuyin781 :

[@cartoonlover4225]

Shuyin781 ~ Ik, But He was actually just following Huey’s move.... I’m also upset with him about it tho! I felt sooooo bad for Louie, but I’m more upset with Huey than anything...

[@followerofchrist9800]

Tbh they are so different now that I forget they are triplets ._.

[@GermanLeftist]

I think that's kinda what the makers are going for. For us to forget that these three are a unit and instead to see them as indivuals.

[@followerofchrist9800]

Mario Quade But..their whole “thing” was that they are triplets...

[@GermanLeftist]

And they still are. As we saw in this particular episode, they still work best when they work together. But as it is the case in real life - siblings, not even twins or triplets, are not always the same and have distinct personalities, some more than others, but still, they are different people with different ideas, different hobbies. Only because pervious Disney properties that featured Huey, Dewey, and Louie didn't pay any tribute to it, besides Quackpack, does not mean that no future one ever should.

[@followerofchrist9800]

Okay! Thanks for the explanation! Sometimes I fear that they won't have that triplet touch where they sometimes say things at the same time or have the same idea. I do like the different personalities though!

[@Aquila009]

FollowerofChrist To be fair, In this they feel more like brothers that they feel like clones of each other. Even triplets are not 100% identical to each other. They are clearly very in sync, but not the same person.

[@katie15732]

7:47 Look at Louie's face 😂

[@juliettetaylor473]

I love Huey in this episode! And I kind of hope that the bond Huey formed with those Beagle Boys will help out in the future...

[@sasamichan]

So its Quack Pack Done right?

[@gracekim1998]

sasamichan I guess

[@Spoonicks]

So much animation was wasted on Quack Pack. That being said I think it'd be hilarious if they referenced it in some way.

[@billcipher2604]

sasamichan The only creative change that i liked was what they did with Daisy's design and character, but even then, it wasn't that great either. And it's not like they gave the triplets much distinct personalities. They just changed them from "generic children" to "generic 90's teenagers".

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

@@Spoonicks If you're looking for Quack Pack references, go to the Bigfoot episode. Bigfoot threatened Louie's family by discreetly scratching his family picture of the triplets and Donald. Their poses in the picture is the same one as the Quack Pack picture

[@Zistheone2]

I wonder if that scene from the original series is what gave the staff the idea to make Dewey the imaginative attention-seeking one

[@katherinealvarez9216]

I was a bit shock that Drake was made into Gideon Gleeful, but I just to see where this all goes or if he was just an one off character.

[@Songal18]

I LOVE how they made Dewey's fantasy show a REAL 5 short episode XD This episode was probably the one that made me kinda cringe from the oddness and creepiness the most but I still loved the stories and the brothers getting back together. Plus Webby basically telling them not to split up because she doesn't want to lose her best friends.

[@rayhagele]

When I saw Doofus the word "Redemption" came into my mind. I think there is a lesson where "money can't buy everything" on its way.

[@Nasir3623]

If Any one is a fan of 2017 Ducktales I highly recommend that you read "Ducktales: solving mysteries and rewrite history" by rob renzeti and Rachael vine. It is an autobiographic book about Scrooge McDuck(with fact checked by huey,Dewey, Louie and webby) based on the 2017 Ducktale reboot. It is a fantastic book that gives you more details about scrooge's adventures, the city of duckburg, as well as answers to the question about the 2017 reboot. The storytelling is amazing and it is almost as if you are directly talking to the characters.

[@gracekim1998]

Ilyas Adam I’m getting that😍

[@cookiecat2168]

Ilyas Adam where do I get that book

[@Nasir3623]

Chocolate loco try to get it from Amazon

[@cookiecat2168]

Ilyas Adam thx you

[@justinkwong8071]

I enjoyed this one cuz it was a nice contrast episode from all the adventuring and expeditions, focusing a little more on relationship building.

[@DaDunge]

I actually liked this more than the previous episode. Though i still want to see the two other triplets in their scout gear. Not all scouts are the superscout (real scouting jargong for a scout which takes scouting a bit to serious) and I'd love to see the other two represent other types of scouts from real-life. But back to the episode. I loved that they eventually had to come back and rely on one another.

[@jonbilgutay2]

This is one of my favorite episodes so far.

[@Launchpad05]

I'm still on the fence with how the reimagined Doofus. Sure, he didn't have much of a back story in the old show. All we knew about him was that he was the nephew's chubby friend who's kinda nerdy, loves to eat, and is a huge fanboy of Launchpad. If anything, he's probably a duck version of Fanboy from 'Freakazoid'. (Though, not as funny) Here, he's basically, a rich kid who became corrupted by his family's wealth. That would've been an interesting plot for him to have in the original show, but I kinda prefer Doofus as their best friend. Maybe he could go through a character arc where he overcomes his corruption, and becomes a good kid in the end, and I'd be fine with that instead of him being a chubby version of Mark Beaks. Other than that, you make an excellent point on how the the nephews are now more distinct from one another, and they do a great job of that. Also, is Burger suppose to be the skinny Beagle Boy now?

[@willcarroll3712]

Very good idea wish they did that with Doofus and yes ironically Burger Beagle is the skinny one go fig

[@DaDunge]

Yeah I feel a lot of the reimagined characters are very flat and derivative. Goldie is the femme fatale version of the main character. Dofus is the creepy spoiled rich kid. Gyro is the mad genius. Their old versions were actually morenfleshed out. I wished they'd had added these aspects to the characters but still kept more of the original characterization thus adding depth to the characters instead of reducing it.

[@Launchpad05]

I was a bit iffy toward Gyro's obsessiveness, and bitterness at first, but it's grown on me, and I can see why ha's so protective of his inventions compared to the original. Especially after Fenton causes problems for him. However, when Fenton proves his worth as Gizmoduck, Gyro soon warms up to him. So there's that.

[@DaDunge]

Marc Baker Well my biggest gripe was really goldie who was such an awesome character in the comics and just a boring archetype in New ducktales.

[@gracekim1998]

Marc Baker his parents did say he used be a good kid but getting the inheritance from his aunt(I think) corrupted him. I think it’s interesting. I don’t know what he was like in the original but just remember they’re allowed to reshape personalities of old characters.

[@Rubberman202]

The real stand-out thing from this episode for me is the fact that Doofus Drake is NOTHING like his original 1987 counterpart... and apparently they did this because Doofus was the only character from the original show the showrunner legitimately hated. I guess he wanted to make sure everyone hated Doofus as much as he did?

[@gracekim1998]

I think you might be the only person to review all the Ducktales Reboot episodes that come out . So thank you for that 😇 and good luck with the next episode 😎

[@justinriley]

You're back! I look forward to you getting caught up with the show because....quite a lot happened in your absence.

[@joshuacritchfield3564]

My hope is that they will have Doofus grow and become a good guy. If I were writing I'd have him lose his money, and meet Launchpad and he becomes his mentor and hero. Launchpad using the lesson he learned from Darkwing Duck teaches Doofus morals and what it means to be a true friend.

[@CuriousUserX90]

Joshua Critchfield Like your thinking. That would be a great episode for the future.

[@debgon1727]

Your back! I always love your reviews and I've waited for you to cover some of the more recent episodes and I AM EXCITED! THANK YOU!

[@gutsmasterson2488]

Okay. :)

[@skedaddledbraincell]

I thought it was my earbuds

[@thesuperamazingalex810]

FUN FACT: Huey, Dewey, and Louie didn't have their own cartoon series like any Disney's popular characters (ex. Goofy, Donald, and Pluto), but they did get their own comic series.

[@CuriousUserX90]

3:28 It’s nice that we saw Burger speak for the first time in this episode, though merely in small sentences. Some episode in the future should give him a backstory for why he’s so skinny, only speaks small sentences and grunts, and why he’s not so gluttonous. Of all times we saw the Beagle Boys in the Reboot, we’re still yet to see Bankjob, Babyface, Bugle, and the last of the 4 Main Beagle Boys being Baggy (I would not be surprised if he’s actually smart in the Reboot).

[@CuriousUserX90]

3:35 One thing they’ve still got from disguising themselves is not hiding their Burglarly masks I see.

[@maldon3659]

i was waiting for rhis review just to see what you thought of doofus drake's new character

[@Buffy8Fan]

So happy you didn't stop these. And even in the horror called Quack Pack, Hewey, Dewey and Louie were just one character, just done 90's style teen as opposed to generic little kid style. Also the original cartoon had the story as a secondary story to The Duck in the Iron Mask story line.

[@weathermangohanssj4]

Says someone who's definatly never watched the show. Look Quack pack wasn't great but if you watched even the first episode you'd know that there personalities are the stock trio of Smartalec, Hewey actuall smart Dewey, and dumb as brick louie.

[@Shuyin781]

Huey is by far the best sibling ! This episode proves it !!

[@CuriousUserX90]

Shuyin781 If he’s the only Junior Woodchuck out of the Triplets in the Reboot, how did he get all his previous badges without his brothers’ help in the past.

[@Shuyin781]

CuriousUserX90 well apparently, the juniors woodchucks in this version have badges for pretty much anything. Even single person achievements. I really wonder how they can evaluate complex fields like robotic and unmapped exploration though

[@watcherzero5256]

I couldn't believe they parodied V.I.N.CENT from the Black Hole, really dark charachter.

[@thecedex]

I think Dewy Dew-Night made this a Top 5 episode for me.

[@krealyesitisbeta5642]

Animation!?

[@theruoc147]

I just noticed the security robot had DT-89 on its chest. Ducktales 1989.

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

I like how it's implied that Doofus Used to be closer to his original show's depiction before the money and power went to his head. But yeah this is probably the worst episode so far, only one I skipped when catching my friend up.

[@starryemu1889]

YAY!!! ANOTHER REVIEW VIDEEOOOOOOOOOOO

[@KnightRaymund]

Totally. Like you said, it's probably lower on my list of episodes (the episodes in this back half have just been so, so strong) but was still very entertaining. I don't think there have been any episodes I disliked.

[@comicbookreviewer4856]

Nice pick up my 1st issue of rise of the TMNT and finally seeing a new review done by Seaniccus is more for a guy to aske for

[@izzynk9545]

FINALLY! This is one of the most funny episodes, and I loved this review! I'm very anxious for see your review to "The other bin of scrooge macduck" too (Well, sorry for my bad English, I'm brazilian)

[@ctleans6326]

louie really became the heir of scrooge mcduck for a single day

[@ldarksong]

The episode had it moments. Love all the easter eggs including the Duckberg version of Voltron. Plus making Dufus into a creepy anti-Louie works for me. And then there is the big easter egg in the form of that sentry bot. DT-87. DT-87. DuckTales-87!

[@thesuperamazingalex810]

The creation of Donald duck's nephews were inspired from Mickey's two nephews, Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse.

[@mah29001]

I'm hoping Season 3 reforms Doofus, maybe not on the similar level as his 1987 original, but probably also reintroduce Super Doo again.

[@brysonturner6019]

You HAVE to see the Dewey Dew-Night shorts!

[@Apocfetau]

Are you going to cover the Dewey Dew-Night shorts that are on youtube?

[@seaniccus]

Maybe! I want to catch up with the core episodes before diving back into the extra content.

[@CuriousUserX90]

I can’t believe they made Doofus Drake SO EVIL in the DuckTales Reboot, from a kind hearted caring but clumsy Duck who looks up to the other characters, to the 3rd Richest Duck in the World that only cares about himself.

[@CuriousUserX90]

Magica and Toad Di Lu weren’t the only DuckTales villains missing from the Intro after all. There’s even Doofus and those from later episodes. Come Season 2 they might update Doofus into the intro along with other villains of the 2nd season.

[@t4washere384]

Dear seaniccus If you think dewey made only child day to have his own private talk show it clearly didnt last longer because according to dewey dew night: bedtime and storkules in duckburg Both huey and louie are aware of their brother's show and everyone is fine with it. What do you think?

[@ArtwithCOD]

Ep number?? 1:40

[@brianlevine871]

I really liked the overall setup with the nephews having their own story/segment, only for all of them to eventually connect together. Louie's segment has to be my personal favorite: partly because he's my favorite of the triplets in this version, and since this portrayal of Doofus was fascinating, albeit creepy. You think they might make another episode with this setup, but with other characters? Like maybe Scrooge, Mrs. Beakley, and Donald demonstrating how they would run their home(s)?

[@gracekim1998]

Brian Levine I think Doofus is meant to parallelLouie

I think it’s interesting. I don’t know what he was like in the original but just remember they’re allowed to reshape personalities of old characters. I can tell Doofus is meant to parallel Louie. Does anyone know what a archetype is because for some reason someone called Goldie that when she’s only appeared once

[@feelchill6722]

This episode is good and it introduce someone you may know

[@geardog24]

I hate what they did to Doofus. Sure in the old series he was the pointless "fat kid" trope, but he didn't need to be turned into a crazy villain in the new series.

[@CAT-2323]

Doofus is like a strange mixture of Melvin Presley from Captain Underpants, Vicky from FOP, Aph Russia (Ivan), and Chester Mcbadbad from FOP. His parents remind me of Vicky’s parents mixed with the parents from the Disasterous Life of Saiki K. Needless to say, he gives me some major creeps. I hope the writers decide take away all his money and gradually make him a more relatable and likeable character, the Modern Archie comics did with Jughead.
