When a reboot is TOO good…

[@Sprinklespark08]

​​​​@@nicksorenson940 Seriously? 2017 Ducktales is like, my favourite disney show! It's funny, has a good story, and good characters. The point of this video is to show how perfect the show is. And it is perfect. Just go watch the show. Probably the best disney channel show since Gravity Falls.

Whatever you talk about, learn the difference between "simple" and "simplistic": if something is basic and easy to understand, it's "simple". "Simplistic" is misunderstanding how complicated something actually is.

When a reboot is so good that… nevermind… they cancelled it, RIP Unfinished Huey Arc, Daisy Duck Arc, LP + DW’s adventure to becoming dads

[@HetaliaFanatic3]

I loved how they had the LP+DW being like not co-parent co-parents. Media really in the last few years put an emphasis on "oh look at my two dad's that is their only trait" and while I love progress of LGBTQ in media, that was a trope I couldn't stand (like with Modern Family at the beginning). This show seemed like wasn't going to straight up do that and make it seem like an actual found family trope, like Owl House and Gravity Falls. But no Disney said we don't like your ratings, so be gone.

Man... the best and most respectful reboot of the decade that made me love the old and new and it got cancelled. Its not fair. 😢

[@spyro2002]

Something else to mention is that the reboot also pulls a lot from the old Carl barks comics, which were more or less the inspiration for the original ducktales as well, it's were we got most of Donald's extended family and friends from and were he first got a more concrete personality other than "funny speech impediment". I'm too young to have watched the original ducktales so I had no connection from that, but what I did have growing up was a bunch of carl barks collection tomes that I'd borrow from my school's library, so the reboot holds a special place for me for respecting those just as much as everything else that came before it. Imo one of the best shows in recent memory, there wasn't a single episode I can say I wad bored, usually even the cult classics have a few duds.

[@nicksorenson940]

Those comics were being published specifically for Disney, and then they adapted them to TV animation in their own way. What Disney had established then is what DuckTales is officially supposed to be from this company, *not* this pointless reboot that should have had no business being approved by them. The fact this reboot even needed to exist at all (and still exists) is a slap-in-the-face to respecting what came before it, because if the current management of Disney had as much respect for all of their classic legacy animated properties already established within the company then they would have just *left DuckTales alone* instead of wanting to brainwash the masses into thinking that this complete perversion of everything it's meant to be is "better".

[@chemicalwolfgames3405]

@@nicksorenson940I don’t get why you are so bitter about this. Making the reboot, while yes, had some intention of making it better than the original, was also just a way of carrying on its legacy. It’s a callback to DT87. People don’t make reboots without being fans of the source material. And that’s what DT87 was, the source material. Everyone who watches the DT17 show knows that, and there is indeed an amount of respect that needs to be shown for DT87, that doesn’t mean people need to be bitter about a new version bringing in more fans. The old DT87 fandom was dying and on its last leg, and DT17 brought a revival to the fandom as a whole. We know DT17 isn’t the original. But that doesn’t make it any less good

[@nicksorenson940]

​@@monkeyman2022 Well you will never be a true fan if they have you wanting to "adore" that complete perversion of everything Disney's DuckTales is supposed to be over the real cartoon, because that reboot has had no right from the beginning to be passing itself off as the real DuckTales. If you think Disney's real DuckTales is "too bland" then maybe the problem is just with you, not the cartoon. Every real Classic Disney fan as I see it would still have no problem wanting to appreciate it for what it is instead of thinking that Disney should be letting people mess around with what they've established however they feel like.

[@nicksorenson940]

@@Rennar3210 These pre-established characters of classic Disney animation are not ones that are meant to have any business being given "new takes" within the company as much as Disney themselves are meant to be wanting to consistently uphold the integrity of what they've established. As I've seen it the very fact that that reboot even needed to be made at all (which it didn't) goes out of its way to undermine and invalidate the DuckTales that Disney already established by wanting to make everyone care more about this over the actual cartoon. Anyone who truly wanted to prove their respect for the "original" (actual) DuckTales would had best done so by leaving those same characters and their series alone, instead of watering down and taking a massive dump on all the artistic quality Disney put into making their 80s/90s era TV animation as good as it was in the first place.

Louie in this new reboot actually has some of the best character development I've seen in modern cartoons. I love how he always feels like himself but the way he approaches situations is COMPLETELY different in season 3 than it was back in season 1.

[@theghostwiththemost789]

I always wished they had done more with Lena. She’s probably my favorite character in the show and I think she was the best part of the first season, but they don’t really do a lot with her in the other seasons. She has a few episodes in the other seasons but she’s nowhere near as important as she was in the first. I honestly wish she had become a main character like Della did. She would’ve fit right in. Also this is slightly off topic but it always bothered me how quickly Webby got over Lena’s “death” in the season one finale. It felt super rushed and it’s one of my few big problems with the show

[@jack_the_retro_maniac]

Great video as always, Geek! and to that Nick Sorenson guy shaming everyone for liking the reboot instead of the original, I'd just like to say, If you don't like the reboot, that's fine, but why shame other people for liking what you don't like? Like my friend said in the video, everyone has different preferences, and just because something isn't your cup of tea doesn't make it inherently bad, but publicly shaming people for liking something as insignificant as a reboot of an 80s cartoon is weird, embarrassing, and kind of hilarious.

[@AngryNerdBird]

The fact that the Reboot was full of great nods to the original show and the Disney afternoon isn't really what made it good, because even people who didn't grow up on that still tend to enjoy it. It's good because it's just really well made. Great stories, great characters, just a real damn good 10/10 adventure show. The nods to the old school is just a way to make it even more fun for fans of the old media. I'm 41 now and been watching cartoons since I was little, and this show is by far my favorite.

[@that1filmguy]

Very true, thank you

[@electrobob992]

Agreed this reboot was AWESOME. Also gives the foundation for other reboots of various shows. Darkwing is an obvious one, but we could also have Tale Spin, Goof Troop, and of course Rescue Rangers. All rewritten to fit in the universe. The later of which could be like the original series, but no humans. Turn any human into an animal. I could see professor Nimnul as an Armadillo for example. Maybe even use that possible reboot bring back other disney characters, like Great Mouse Detective for example.

[@oshkeet]

On the one hand i can see it being a bit weird to approach. Considering the DW show in-universe being OURS doesnt make a lot sense since there's already a Gosalyn and Launchpad in the "real" universe, so I just assumed it was a rough approximation. It'd be like Robert Pattinson being cast as Batman then trying to become him IRL. And then an angry Adam West swears revenge. Or something this is a weird metaphor.

[@bullmonty764]

@@oshkeet At first it wasn’t a problem for me until Let’s Get Dangerous. In the same episode where they introduce Gosalyn (and give her all the best lines), they fall back on the “show within a show” conceit in order to make way for the Fearsome Four (and not the Fearsome *Five,* I might add). Aside from the blatant factual error in an episode that otherwise references DW episodes by their ding-dang *production codes,* I feel that if Frank was going to go to such extreme lengths to live out his childhood fanfiction, then way not go all the way and make the entirety of DW lore real, and not just one or two characters? I’m also one of the few haters of that episode by the way don’t judge me

[@randomcatfan]

This was such an amazing show, I'm still salty that they cancelled it. There are so many loose ends and arcs that were cut out because Disney did not like the ratings. This is my favorite cartoon so far so I'm fairly upset it's over. Though while I do like it, here are a few things I'm not too big of a fan of: - Webby being Scrooge's clone/daughter. This kind of just ruins Webby's found family arc in season 1, which I don't think was intentional, in fact, the writers likely wanted Webby to finally feel happy since she has a huge obsession over Scrooge, but it does kind of ruin the whole idea of you choose who you're family with. But this did sink those Dewey x Webby ships so I'm happy anyway, lol. - Loose ends, such as Huey's uncompleted arc, and Jim Starling. I was hoping he'd show up again, but he was supposed to appear again in "Let's Get Dangerous" apparently but the idea was cancelled due to VA stuff ig, so I'm not blaming them for this one. - Bradford's ending. The ending felt a little cliche and could've been handled better. I wish the papyrus had been a little more literal since Bradford did work on writing it for several years, and "family is greatest adventure of all" was a little cringey. The greatest villian/final boss probably would've known better. But it's just a cartoon, so I can brush these off, it's pretty much perfect in every other way. The episodes all feel entertaining and Also, I'm still hoping that DW spin-off/reboot happens sometime, but it's been so long since it's been announced that I don't think it's actually happening at this point. But who knows, time will tell.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]
