[@matthewrooney8834]

Man I liked mark beaks “the idea of a mark zurckerberg being lex Luther but incompetent was very amusing”

[@Arosukir6]

Ironic that looking back now, personality-wise he was way closer to Elon Musk! 😂

[@daelen.cclark]

@@Arosukir6 In a LOT of ways, it seems.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

So Jesse Esienberg Lex Luther.

[@michaelnally2841]

I liked the idea of Mark Beaks however I just felt a lot of the shows other villains were more enjoyable than him

[@MeganKoumori]

Fans: Can we have our "Darkwing Duck" reboot? Disney: Don't bother us now! We're remaking "The Aristocats" with Selena Gomez!

[@Dimensioneer88]

Disney: We TOTALLY know what fans want!

[@PimPeccable]

This SCARES me

[@ninjafox218]

​@@Dimensioneer88Disney Plus? i think it's become Darkwing duck release date sometimes this why are years i went back soon 2025?

[@bensneb360]

I’m still hoping, it’s a REAL long shot, but I never give up on Darkwing

[@OkayYaraman]

I still hold out hope that it’s still coming until we get confirmation that it was canceled. The Terror in the Night shall flap again!

[@seanpatrickcain2]

We want Darkwing!

[@aaronfraire9073]

I really hope this reboot hasn't been shelved because I loved the original _Darkwing Duck_ series and I loved Darkwing's appearances in _DuckTales._ And still hoping to see a _Legends of Fandom_ episode on _The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes_ season 3.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Some other Duck heroes that could be guest stars leading to a big team-up: -Donald as PK, The Duck Avenger -One of the Ducks from the Mirrorverse game -Maui Mallard as Cold Shadow -The Mighty Ducks (Wildwing, Nosedive, etc) -Maybe give Launchpad a jetpack making him like the Rocketeer.

[@Rixec2]

I'm still holding out hope to once more see the terror that flaps in the night. And I wouldn't mind seeing Mark Beaks in it. His and Drake's egos might clash well together and imagine Darkwing wanting to beat him in order to show up Gizmoduck.

[@ThePonderer]

God how I wish we’d gotten this show. Reading that pitch Bible just makes me mad thinking about what we could’ve had.

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

I thought that Seth Rogan’s take on Darkwing Duck would be more geared towards Adults Ala Harley Quinn, but TMNT Mutant Mayhem shows that he can write for a young audience, too.

[@bdpickett]

I think Beaks should only show up in the reboot during crossovers with Gizmoduck, as he's basically Fenton's obnoxious Lex Luthor. Maybe he teams up with one of Drake's rogues and Team Darkwing and Gizmoduck have to reluctantly team up to stop him. Other than that, the less Beaks, the better.

[@michaelnally2841]

Him, and maybe steelbeak trying to bring back Fowl.

[@calebray1834]

He teams up with NegaDuck in a Lex and Joker type thing.

[@bdpickett]

@@calebray1834 Except, in this case, it would be Lex annoying the hell out of the Joker.

[@mrrunodan8119]

Now please do a "Legend Of Fandom" about the Nicktoons Movie!

[@tokufan22]

Great episode. I was bouncing off the walls when the Dark-wing Duck themed episodes aired. And the "Let's Get Dangerous" special had me hyped for the possible (at the time at least) reboot. Hopefully Disney won't waist what may be a possible opportunity. Sidenote: I am still mad that they never developed a Disney Infinity Dark-wing Duck figurine!

[@RagamuffinBabyDoll]

Would I like to see a reboot? Absolutely! Darkwing Duck brought me so much joy as a kid that I want kids today to have their own Darkwing Duck series! Plus, Tumblr of all places conjured some interesting and dark headcanons on what could’ve caused the in-universe show to be canceled, especially regarding Morgana MacCawber being a lauded actress Jim Starling had an unrequited love for.

[@geardog24]

Of course we deserve a Darkwing Duck reboot, but Disney wouldn’t dare let anything take attention away from their live action movies.

[@katherinebradford9692]

I really do wish they would do the dark wing duck reboot because I really enjoyed the 90s show when I watched it on Disney+. and everything you talked about in the video, the reboot sounded really incredible 🍀🤩🎟️🎟️

[@mikechicago6200]

3 years later.....still waiting for the show.....though if it comes i have a feeling it will be a reboot and not connected to the ducktales 2017 series! But i hope Jim Cummings will play a part of it!

[@JasLamArr91]

Bring Darkwing Duck back! Don't shelve it.

[@Jebbtube]

Supposedly, the lack of proper conclusion to the Darkwing storyline in Ducktales may've been a reference to the fact that the show in universe never got a proper conclusion either.

[@DrErikNefarious]

It's been 5 years since we were blueballed by Negaduck in The Duck Knight Returns

[@traviskenzy3481]

I like all these new ideas for darkwing duck reboot the only thing I don’t like is Bushroot being a zombie and taking away his ability to talk Everything else is fine with me

[@BenDaresAll]

Bushroot's original voice actor has passed away so they had his character not say anything.

[@disneyboy3030]

Plus the design was based on when he sheded his skin.

[@nightshardthefanguidebrony847]

I thought it was still happening, they were just taking their long time

[@ThePonderer]

Seth Rogen took over and is doing an entirely different Ducktales series.

[@mitchfletcher2386]

​@@ThePonderer That also got canned, apparently.

[@ninjagregshow9423]

This sounds awesome, I especially like the idea of herb muddlefoot seeming to be this big, bumbling doofy idiot who's secretly an intelligent, cunning and resourceful detective, maybe not "Sherlock Holmes" but more "Jim Gordon" smart but not a genius

[@matthewrooney8834]

Aw man I am rewatching ducktales man I wanted this they’re chemistry was so fun and I would liked the father daughter relationship built on

[@traviskenzy3481]

I wonder who he would cast the play the biker mice from Mars in a live action movie

[@ethbeatthem4836]

I give this show 2 years to come out.

[@christopherballero866]

The idea might've been dropped due to Covid though the idea of a Dark wing Duck show sounds great.

[@justinhamm2211]

On a recent Jim Cummings podcast, he stated Darkwing Duck was coming back and he had been doing some work on it. Tooned In with Jim Cummings.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

I really hope the reboot still happens, as I love how Darkwing Duck is done in the Ducktales reboot. Expanding upon it sounds like fun. Or maybe even just another show that takes place in the same world as the Ducktales reboot, akin to Milo Murphy’s Law to Phineas & Ferb. I’m guessing this reboot’s slow progress has something to do with why the Ducktales reboot wasn’t renewed for another season. Apparently the Disney higher-ups changed at the time & resulted in a new vision for their upcoming projects. That’s what happened to Warner Bros & their animated projects lately. Along with how it looked like Disney ain’t looking too interested in serialized stuff lately. Leaks like that can be a double edged sword for me. On the bright side it shows off behind the scenes stuff that’s been out of the public eye for years. It’s neat to see how The Owl House started in its original pilot. But on the downside its still a sketchy thing… I don’t mind Mark Beaks. A Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk style baddie that not even the other villains like around sounds like a fun drama causer. But I can see how others can not tolerate him, as that’s literally one of the reasons he exists.

[@user-jc9kc2qe1j]

I would love to see a reboot of dark Winged duck

[@FirestoneX]

I got to admit I forgot about you for years. I thought you left youtube. Now I find out you're still around. Gotta love the algorithm.

[@ToonLogicStudios]

I would guess that the show bible has leaked now because Disney rejected their pitch. I could be mistaken but I’m pretty sure Frank Angones said that his and Matt’s pitch was separate from the Seth Rogen one that’s been stuck in development limbo. If you haven’t seen it yet you should check out the Darkwing Duck Retrospective my friend Tim Partridge made that’s on Oliver Harper’s Retrospectives & Reviews channel.

[@Kattlarv]

I am split on it... as it very much is the whole "it can be amazing, or utter carp".

[@franciscoresende8061]

I wonder if there will be a Legends of Fandom video talking about Sym-bionic Titan season 2.

[@JohnWilliams-cr2sz]

Holding out hope that this show will get the greenlight soon.

[@FoxCDN]

Great job! Always loved DW and I'm excited to potentially see something in the future. Hopefully, though unlikely with how much time that has passed. Keep up the great work, though try and look into that echo/sound quality. Luv your work!

[@autumbreeze1129]

Something else I'd really like to know is why hasn't the Ducktales reboot gotten a DVD release by now? I wanna have the finale already, damnit!

[@EditDeath]

If Beaks joins the cast, it'd be great if he got a reverse Riddler treatment. You know how in the comics Riddler went after Flash and wound up an actual threat to the hero? I'd love for Beaks to try going after Darkwing only to find himself on par with Condiment King. Only other way I see his inclusion working is as a thief of Gosalyn or Quackerjack's tech, and that's just retreading old territory

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Still waiting for that reboot you guys.

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

"Let's get dangerous."

[@jasongradyphstiger6179]

I'm really glad that this show is still in development And I want to see the show ASAP I love the original show I love the Ducktales original and new show I'm hoping that the darkwing dark reboot will have the same animation as the new ducktales show.

[@redrussell2159]

I would love to see a reboot this is one of my favorite childhood cartoon. Plus during the DuckTales reboot went dark one was a thing I thought of a way that if they did do a reboot how to retool the original theme song bring back the original theme song but change a certain line in the theme song

[@traviskenzy3481]

I think it would be cool if megavolt a son who has a crush on Goslin they could have it if they want to is that the son of megavolt does not like his dad being a super vent and just finds the whole thing embarrassing And wishes his dad would stop being a villain and spend more time with him and not working on being a villain They could have it if they want that. He feels neglected like his dad not spend nearly enough time with him. Could you imagine if later in the remake of the show they decided to redeem Megavolt and have him become a good guy if they want to

[@KayLoo202]

I hope we can get this because otherwise WE'VE BEEN ROBBED

[@wolfkniteX]

I really hope this is a situation where someone points out, "Hey, they haven't done this yet and I'm making a video about it" and then a few days later there's a damn trailer for the thing.

[@diegojose4173]

I heard the reason the reboot entered Development Hell was because Seth Rogen wanted the show to be disconnected from Duck Tales 2017, meaning that a lot of the show's concepts and characters would need to be rewritten heavily.

[@kingj9664]

The ideas for the pittsbible sounds really good and I really hope we do get this, But seeing how Disney is now I don't have too much high hopes. Although who knows I could be wrong

[@cameronmeder166]

Well even if they never do this darkwing Duck reboot at least we still have the comic books out there

[@jcj268]

This reboot needs to happen!

[@Jeff-gj7ko]

I still have faith, for the time being.

[@DagmaraDevour]

Well, there was the sequel to the 2007 TMNT-movie, where Mikey had to fend for himself because Splinter and the brothers are de-mutated. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that!

[@M567dk]

Rumor has it that the reboot of Darkwing duck was to be separate from the 2017 reboot. However, from this storyline bible it is truly an amazing reboot of the iconic Darkwing series.

[@sasamichan]

I would love to see that and the rest of the Disney Afternoon back and in canon to the same universe. And also maybe a revival of Kim Possible also with a connected universe to other shows

[@animeknight8958]

I still believe that the show will be coming. They won't disappoint their fand

[@graptakular]

I felt the Darkwing reboot within Ducktales was handled VERY well. But this is the first I had heard about the show bible leak and I am genuinely disappointed they did not follow through. I thought the response to the Ducktales reboot was overwhelmingly positive and keeping that momentum with Darkwing was a given.

[@timtwoface]

Still waiting patiently for this or some version of the reboot to see the light of day...please?

[@MrGabeanator]

I love darkwing duck and from the minute the ducktales reboot ended I’ve been waiting for this and sure we’ve gotten other great shows since then like amphibia moon girl and devil dinosaur and of course the owl house but I do wonder whatever happened to this show I would’ve loved to see it and I still do so I hope it’s not cancelled also I’d like to see a episode on dumbo 2

[@LikaLaruku]

The more I hear about this show, the more I wished I'd seen it. I hear it was super popular, so why did they cancel it?

[@jswatch9270]

I hope someday it will happen

[@benjaminsvideochannel7189]

I Love Darkwing Duck I would like to see how would this go

[@AkiraStrix94]

A new Darkwing Duck show would be pretty awesome, I can only hope Disney will let it happen sometime in the future.

[@Dr.WaluigiReviews]

Disney on behalf of all of us fanboys, girls and everyone else ... PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!! And also can you please release the rest of the original series on DVD and to streaming.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

That proposal does sound really cool! Love to see more but we're just going to have to wait on Disney on this one. With their financial woes and them trying to blame other outlets for their shortcomings who knows. I really hope they reconsider with this and the gargoyles live action series coming up😊

[@jeffcrothers9771]

4:05 OMG That looks like my Top 15 Darkwing Duck Episode list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ironclanex6351]

Could you do an honest review of the Ducktales reboot

[@calebray1834]

Beaks should appear in Gizmoduck crossover episodes maybe team up with NegaDuck in a Luthor/Joker style team up.

[@curticcarmichael3580]

I would love a Darkwing Duck follow up of Ducktales 2017! Especially if it means Gosalyn and Dewey become a couple.

[@anthonythomas305]

We need Darkwing Duck back _Let's get Dangerous!_

[@alexgonzo5435]

I wonder if the Hollywood strikes had anything to do with this…

[@AH-is5yg]

I think Steelbeak will come back as season 2 main villain and he reforms FOWL. Forcing Darkwing Duck and others to get serious and have to get some training and upgrades and allies to help them.

[@connoravila]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm loving Killjoy and am surprised how short it is, so I'm gonna pace myself and read 3 chapters per week

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

I don't know why Disney wouldn't greenlight the show after how well the DT crew with that reboot. Maybe they're steering away from reboots for a little while, maybe they just weren't impressed with it, maybe they didn't think it'd be a successful as DuckTales, who knows. But I am glad that interest in it has reignited with the leaking of the pitch bible.

[@michaelmcjunkin1372]

You think maybe you can do a Legends of Fandom on the new seasons of Infinity Train like Book 5?

[@BrianD.Stringham1593]

Darkwing Duck, The Spinoff Reboot Series That Will Never Happened Now, Darkwing Duck, Let's Get Disappointed, Oh Damn It!

[@LBDNytetrayn]

...dammit.

[@legionaireb]

Don't know why you were talking about cable TV in the intro. None of the Disney Afternoon stuff appeared on cable until YEARS after they were released.

[@flashtyb]

I had an idea for a neat little parallel between universes… So, assuming all the characters in the Ducktales universe have a Darkwing counterpart, then maybe the villain counterparts could slowly appear throughout the series… Since the villains from “Let’s Get Dangerous” were brought in by Taurus Bulba with the Ramrod, it’s safe to assume those guys were from a different universe… Maybe the Ducktales (2017) universe’s Bushroot never went through with the experiment that turned him into a plant hybrid, and decided to work for a different company that could fund his work? Though, I can imagine as the 2017 version of St. Canard starts to become more and more like the one from the original cartoon… The villains will slowly emerge one by one (accidental or intentional)

[@Jebbtube]

I wish to get dangerous.

[@khiclark31]

If the Darkwing reboot is as good as Ducktales 2017 its money in the bank for Disney. Toys and games would just be so easy.

[@ZoeBlacktail]

I liked the original tv series and it would have been so great if Darkwing Duck got a reboot...just like Ducktales....so I hope for it to become true someday.

[@willcmpunktmnt]

Darkwing Duck Reboot be nice

[@juanbisonosuero3650]

No mention to the new Darkwin comic

[@MrBenjaminsisko]

Darkwing duck was pretty when I was a kid but I just had an idea Darkwing duck vs count duckula

Well I enjoyed the disney darkwing duck series growing up when it was the most awesome tv show. I hope we get reboot if works out hopefully on disneyplus. Another great episode of legends of fandom from the blockbuster buster this week. Lol!

[@CorndogMaker]

They decided not to go wit the setup from Ducktales 2017, even though it was really really good and all the fans wanted it. When Darkwing Duck Was pitched by the Ducktales 2017 team as a spinoff from that show, Disney didn't go for it- Because they're stupid and they don't know what their own studio is doing and they hate their art team. This new Darkwing will be an entirely new project. LIkely ironically falling for all the problems that the Ducktales team parodied in The Duck Knight Returns episode.

[@nicholase82]

Since Disney is making less I'm not hopeful.

[@RomLoneWolf23]

I hate Mark Beaks too, but I won't deny he'd make a great villain for DW, being even MORE of a narcissist. He'd be the Lex Luthor to DW's Superman. Edit: I'm also considering writing some fanfic based off this pitch.

[@througtonsheirs_doctorwhol5914]

I don't know about a DW reboot... but to me LORCANA is the Kingdom Hearts reboot i wanted for a TCG ! Amazing set again! Ursula's Revenge ! Being older I don't get into many disney products... but Lorcana makes this death metalhead happy! Can't wait for a Darkwing Duck or a Flagada Jones in Lorcana! They got Magica DeSpell, Gyro Gearloose, Rifi, fifi & LouLou...and obscure ones I didn'T know : Webby Vanderquack , I think I remember, but Lena Sabrewing? Della Duck?

[@scottyboyrulez]

Wait........I thought this actually happened?

[@SilverScribe85]

As much as I would LOVE to see this reboot, especially if the folks who did Ducktales 2017 are behind it, I'm...leery about the idea. I only say this because given the fact that Disney is among the studios who screwed over the animation industry this past year alone, I suspect they would destroy this reboot in a number of ways

[@Hedgie3]

I don't think that this reboot is such a good idea because from what I just heard about Gosalyn, they would make it (like almost every other film that Disney has been making in these recent years) be too much of a girl-bossy one! It wouldn't be as good as the original 90s series was made as, including the fact that they would also stupidly use the same lazy low quality art style that they used when they decided what the characters in the 2017 DuckTales reboot would look like! I got soo disappointed and annoyed after I watched a few episodes from that reboot and found out the higher ups made the artists do that, and also ruined the personalities of those characters! They messed up the quality of the theme song of it too! So good that Disney is either debating the idea of making this one or cancelling it, because I very much don't want this other popular show to meet that same terrible fate!

❤ I don't see why they can't do it they could bass some of the stuff on the comics they've been doing just recently why not I didn't watch the whole thing

[@lucitum.world1998]

Darkwing Duck's reboot is going to be better. Would you like that Bushroot and the Liquidator as females instead of males (to make a villain group like a fiveman band: The trope of two girls to a team on the main story). In this case, Darkwing Duck didn't have female villains/antagonists (Morgana McCaver was one, but she came to the good side). That's my opinion.
