Webby still strikes me as the same shy girl she was in the original series. Only big change to her is her abilities as an adventurous person. She still struggles deeply with social interaction and understanding her place in the mcduck family. Maybe im just looking at it wrong, but it seems like only the outside has really changed, and i love that they are using that to explore her a bit deeper then what was originally done.
Im with you, first I was like "Oh , they completely redisigned the character", but after a while It make me *click* and I underestand that its actually the same character, but with more development.
yiggdrasil I couldn't agree more, not just a throwback to the original series, but with more character development in this series.
I'm just glad they got rid of the immature animosity the triplets had for her in the OG series and that they're all cool with eachother. Sure as hell made for alot of great moments whith them being much closer.
MxMaker *sigh* you people still question REDESIGNS in a fucking REBOOT?!
That is interesting. I like how you think.
We finally have Della! Fans now are asking who is the boys’ father? I’m asking, who are Webbie’s parents!? Why is she being raised by her granny? Are they active secret agents? Please reboot! Tell us!!
What if they're FOWL?
@@NihilusShadow oh....classic 'I'm your father' tropes huh?
Brooke Rickettson and I don’t care about the boys’ dad or Webby’s parents
Who cares about the father
Gracekim1 you and rockman mix both dont care which I understand. Why does a parent matter if they didnt raise their kids. The person who raised the kids is the real parent but still people want to know. Perhaps they couldnt take care of their children or maybe they didnt want to who knows? No one does we're naturally curious so thats why we want to know.
Hopefully, Della will eventually tell Webby to call her “Aunt Della” in Season 3.
What about calling donald uncle? Seriously, two seasons and we havent had an episode with them. They barely interact at all.
William Dalbey
I know, right!
They deserve to have their own solo bonding episode too.
I more hope one day Webby can also call Della 'mom'. Yes I ship Dewey and Webby. Because I remember to tape the bottom of the box!
SuperSwordman1
Awww.
@@therealwilldalbey she called him Uncle Donald at least once if I'm not mistaken.
So much respect for Paget Brewster, who is absolutely killing it as Della Duck.
i know shes amazing
I didn’t even notice the pilot hat...lol...but I love how they showed that there is a method to Launchpad’s madness like with the gum being the best solution to the smoke filling up the cabin. To me it showed that what Launchpad lacks in skill he makes up for in instincts.
and the hamster...it worked
And by instincts, don't you mean ultra instinct; that's it I making it a meme, ultra instinct launch pad, his power is the only reason he and his passengers haven't died every time they crashed.
They kinda went over that in the BUDDY episode too. Launchpad's strength is that him going by his gut is what makes him successful at what he does, even if it's done wrong or results in some damage along the way.
Della’s totally adopted Webby as her fourth kid XD
Oh! It's you! The internet sure is a small place... Wait... No it's not!
Andreas Smed haha XD
Yes. I'm absolutely behind that
even though they are cousins?
@@simonenicassio5481 yes absolutely
It's called an "aviator hat" or "bomber hat".
Yup
@@tangerbree-sunrise7932 I'm the descendant of king Jean ii valois of France yo
@@jacksonguillory8114 uhhh
1 year later and this is the most recontextalized episode of Ducktales yet. Thank you finale.
I do love how their ancestor defeated the Beagles with popcorn.
Not the McDuck side of the family of course, but the ingenuity of it really plays in to the "smarter than the smarties" theme
Joe Miller it does.
Hmm so maybe this how Launchpad actually becomes a good pilot in the Dark Wing Duck series? I always wondered why he didn't crash when he as Dark Wing's side kick. And maybe this is how he also learned to be a good mechanic and engineer? Remember he designed and built the Thunderquack.
Hes always taken apart and put together the sunchaser. He knows how to build an airplane. Also, apparently in the old series, while they had many similarities, was two separate universes.
I really enjoyed the subplot with Della and Launchpad. Not only was it fun seeing their differing ways of treating the plane, but I can also kind of relate to each character's side of the situation (i.e. doing a task differently than how somebody else would). Oh yeah, and seeing Launchpad wear his classic pilot cap was a nice touch. All he needs is a scarf and it'd be complete.
No mention on how the Beagles fit in? Big Time being discarded by the gang for his incompetence only to save them in the end was rather similar to what went on with Launchpad.
I hope there's a more in-depth solo bonding episode between Della and Webby in Season 3.
Cassidy Faith Even if Season 3 does turn out to be the last, it would be nice if we learnt about Webby’s parents at some point as well.
CuriousUserX90
It better not be the last season.
@@cassidyfaith16 Sadly Season 3 may be the last season because Season 3 was announced at the end of Season 1 so Season 4 should've been announced at the end of Season 2, but we may actually get a Season 4 because of the popularity of the show!
Gavin Williams for the amount of characters to be introduced in season 3
it's better if they do a season 4
Gavin Williams Season 3 was announced around the same week Season 2 premiered.
I loved Webby and Della bonding in this episode.
Is the moment mother-daughter
Second best bonding after Scrooge and Webby. Or at least in my opinion I guess.
It's a shame you didn't go into Cornelius Coot that much, but it's fine, since you went into aspects of this episode that interested you and a few things even I didn't realize. For the record, in the comics, not only is Cornelius Coot the founder of Duckberg, in one Don Rosa comic, it's stated that he's the grandfather of Donald's grandma, making him a member of the Duck family! He also formed the Junior Woodchucks. Neither of these were mentioned in this episode, so it's unclear if these apply to the reboot version of Cornelius Coot.
Huh, I would've thought he'd dive into to something like that. I mean that's some pretty heavy lore.
Funny thing is that his Golden Armory is a weird silly trick that no one expects at all but also works like a charm, just like Launchpad's ideas.
no they mentioned him being dellas ancestor in the non-mcduck side of the family
I felt the episode's payoff really brought the spirit of the original Uncle Scrooge comic stories. There's just something about the weaponry being something so mundane, yet brilliantly implemented that seems like a Barks story element.
Whos WEBBYS parents and the boys dad?!
I think they're dead, and two it's Donald
@@cherryr9285 Donald isn't their dad. He's thier uncle since Della is his sister
@@judaspetta7601 he takes care of them, loves them and supports them... sounds like a dad to me, fellas
Cherry R he is not the bio father, but your right hes their stand in dad
Cherry R not bio right...? If it isn’t, that’s messed up
*Corn* nelious
Cornelious, You get it guys?!
Lol 😂
So are we ever going to find out who the nephews father is?
Edit: Wow....I didn't realize so many people hated fathers.
Nope!
@Angel Rosario But there is a father, and his name is
Angel Rosario I think you missed the joke they made
Hey what if the boys are clones or something
@Angel Rosario no, he's their uncle. No their father is
Interesting that the show outright acknowledges how they're in the awkward position of having two characters with pretty much the same skillset, and takes the smart choice to immediately differentiate them. Della is actually a competent and reliable pilot, if a little too fond of crazy acrobatics, while Launchpad goes straight into cartoon shenanigans. (Might tie into how he modelled his personal skills on Darkwing Duck)
This was a great episode and an amazing insight on Della’s relationship with Webby and with Launchpad.
I laughed so hard when I figured out why it was called the Golden armory. Off note, they still haven't answered who was crazy enough to want to date let alone have kids with Della duck?
Hopefully we’ll learn that in the future.
TBH, I figure she had a one-night stand on an adventure.
Cornelius Coot himself meanwhile still has yet to appear in Animation.
The time tub anyone
He's actually in an episode of "The Legend of the Three Caballeros" which is coming to Disney+ on launch day.
Launchpad's classic headgear is a leather aviator-helmet... which the designers gave to Della in favor of giving Launchpad a ballcap... thus making Launchpad McQuack kith and kin to another adorable knucklehead from the Disney Television Animation annals- Soos from "Gravity Falls."
Much of the new crop of DTA series-creators were on the "Gravity Falls" team- Matt Youngberg and Francisco Argonez on the DuckTales reboot, Matt Braly of "Amphibia" (if you're not watching that one, FIX THAT), and even Dana Terrace of the upcoming series "The Owl House..." which even has "Gravity Falls" creator Alex Hirsch in a supporting-role that actually promises to be pretty darn delightful.
We also learn some of Della's non-McDuck relatives. Scrooge isn't her only important relative.
Rognik I mean Ludwigs van quack is related to them
@@bulabell that's still the same branch
The duck family has a ridiculous amount of relatives in the comics who've gotten up to various shenanigans, remember that she's Donald's twin sister, and thus just as related to Fethry and Gladstone.
Dose make me wonder which of Donald and Della's parents was Scrooge's sibling. I'm personally hopping it's his sister Fran McDuck.
@@Guntherson220 we learned that in the first episode, plus it's been known in the family tree for a while. I believe it's Hortense who is the connecting Duck.
That's a great observation between of how Launchpad, and Della work as characters and what they know about piloting. Della has had way more experience in flaying planes, and how to fix them properly than Launchpad could ever hope to achieve. Yet, Launchpad is so oblivious, and full of pride that never took a good hard, look at himself, and how wrong his approach to piloting, and taking care of a plane. Also, he probably used his sister's chewing gum to 'glue' the wings in place. (Perhaps A very subtle nod the the episode 'Top Duck'. Not nearly as big a nod as the mind cart, but still a nod.) Also, I never noticed that Launchpad's now wearing a traditional pilot's cap until now. Probably because it looks slightly different him his cap in the original series, and by this point we've been use to seeing him wearing the baseball cap that a different had would seem a bit off, but it still works.
I think the Beagle Boys had some good character movement in this episode too. One great mystery to be solved, how did Lunchpad ever get hired by Scrooge?
According to the show crew, he's cheap to hire and he knows how to crash without casualties.
*Launchpads job interview*
Scrooge: So you can drive?
Launchpad: Yes sir! I’m also a p-
Scrooge: Good, now you are fine with working for 70$ an hour, with what ever damages coming out of your salary yes?
Launchpad: Ummmmmmmmm yes? I wasn’t listening.
Scrooge: You’re hired.
He was originally a chauffeur. Remember when they introduced him he kept trying to let them know he was a pilot, but they ignored him.
@@NihilusShadow Yea, but how was he hired as even that? I'd like an episodes where just after Scrooge gives up the search for Della, Beakly, an infant Webby and a young Lunchpad show up and how they get to stay.
The book "Solving mysteries and rewriting history" actually answers this question. Scrooge was an investor for both the "unsinkable" Titanic and the "unstoppable" Hindenberg which taught him that there's no such thing as a "perfect" means of travel. With Launchpad, he always knows it's not a matter of "if" but "when" a crash happens. He also likes how it keeps him on his toes.
Maybe Launchpad can actually turn into the darkwing duck version through della teaching him.
i would still like to meet the flying mcquacks, launchpad's family
Same here. I loved them in the original show, and it would be awesome if they returned in the reboot. Hopefully, they'll get Launchpad's original voice, Terry McGovern, to play his dad Ripcord.
You know, I also think, when you've got famed female adventurer Della Duck telling girl adventurer Webby that she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, that she's the best at being Webby, I feel like that's a pretty good message for girl viewers.
You mean to everyone actually.
@@arnowisp6244 No, I said what I meant.
My Theory: Launchpad is going to need or want to learn how to be the decent pilot he was in the original DarkWing Duck cartoon, so he gets Della to teach him and this episode was the groundwork for that. As for Webby this episode was the episode that made her a part of Della's family worldview, which is what Webby was looking for. I hope Webby and Della have an episode based around just them the way Della and the boys have had and will have. I struggled with this episode a little more than others, but I like the theme(s).
“No, Stop! I can do it myself!”
You could really feel the emotion in that scene
And again i already knew where this story was going because of the Dutch comics. We have already explored that the founder accidentily discovered popcorn and that the gunshots was the mais exploding.
I love the way they incorperate them into the Ducktales reboot.
I wonder if they’ll ever answer who the father is?
Obviously Scrooge is Webby’s dad.
I meant Huey Dewey and Louie’s father... but yeah, who are Webby’s parents?
@@jennifergriel861 Donald is their father, end of story!
@@robertivey7644 That aged very well like a fine wine
@@memelover6917 I was totally joking at the time picking the least likely answer.
I've always heard and seen the cap called a "Leather Aviator Helmet" which the goggles are attached, and inside the flaps are the head-phones for the radio.
I love that Della is voiced by Bird-Girl.
This episode shows that while Launchpad is bad at flying... If you are about to crash? Hand him the controls and you'll make it out alive!
Now that Della is back with her family then we would know what happened to the long lost dad of hewy dewy louie
I love your Ducktales videos. They’re always crafted with such love and appreciation.
I think that he's wearing is a WWI flight helmet. His original outfit seemed to be a WWI airman uniform but with a short, WWII-style bomber jacket. Weirdly, I'd gotten so used to the new Launchpad that I didn't even notice he was wearing the old helmet. Nice!
EDIT: As I watched the end of your video, I was struck with how well the new Ducktales handles characters that could have easily been made redundant and insulting through a lack of interest or conviction by the writers to make them matter. I never find myself watching an episode and wondering, "What is this character even doing here?"
Personally, I don’t really like how this episodes Della and Launchpad plot ends. Della has already had episodes with character growth but as long as Launchpad has been in the show he hasn’t had as much development. I think it would’ve been a stronger episode if Launchpad was the one to learn a lesson, with Scrooge’s old, more capable pilot coming in and teaching him that there’s more to being a pilot than crashing planes.
TheWesinator this is very true, but it’s too logical for a cartoon like world, him learning a realistic, logical lesson would makes launchpad just well, a normal reasonable pilot... in the plain of Cartoon existence, which knowing the realm of cartoons don’t really work, especially with their upcoming Dark wing duck reboot, in which Dark wing duck survive super irrational deadly things, high tolerance or not.... a normal human cannot survive those things.... but cartoon ducks like Launchpad and Darkwing Duck can
Launchpad makes the best co pilot hands down. He can crash land in any situation without any casualties and that's one very special and useful skill for a pilot
Della: Why not use actual welding tools?
Launchpad: Mr. McD says I'm not allowed. (dramatic Launchpad) Not after what happened last time.
Last time:
The Mansion burned to the ground with Launchpad charred up and Scrooge breaking down into tears.
Present day:
Launchpad: To this day I can still hear the wails of the firetruck sirens and remember the name of the motel we stayed in. So Mr. McD had all welding equipment removed from the premises.
Della: How far?
Launchpad: 100 miles.
That hat with googles is simply a WWI leather pilot's helmet.
Are we just going to gloss over the Beagle Boys? and "Bugtime"?
This launchpad could still be the big brother type. I'm hoping that with Doofus' parents now back in control, they force him to join the Junior Woodchucks and he ends up bonding with Launchpad like he did originally... although he also has that obsessive personality in this series so they might put a twist on it. Still, seeing him look up to Launchpad would be neat.
God, I feel like it was years between videos. Good work and please continue this.
Greetings from Chile, and weeby x dewey foravah
It's a longer gap than i'd like too haha
The interaction between Della and Webby, and Launchpad was really sweet.
12:20 this goes back to the game nigh episode when Huey said (Not exactly the same but its goes something like this) "Launchpad crashed so many times I'm starting to think he might be immortal"
I was pleasantly surprised with that the treasure was and how it was used.
Just subscribed! I love the new Ducktales show and really enjoy your breakdowns of the characters. Your videos have honestly made my lockdown more bearable hehe Hope you’re doing well and I can’t wait for future videos! :D
Launchpad and Webby are both treasures.
Facts
6:53 has the same energy of that one scene from *Community* where Paget Brewster's character is trying so hard not to rip into than one guy and I have to wonder if the crew took inspiration from that when they wrote this exchange between them 😂
Was I the only one that started shipping Launchpad and Della?
Nope 🙃
After looking it up, Launchpad's hat has a few different names. Some people call it the aviator hat while others call it a bomber hat.
You know I just noticed that Webby has a similar hair cut to Della
Let’s be real here - Della didn’t need her experience with Launchpad to inform her actions for Webby.
Launchpad is a fully grown adult that’s not only completely inept and stupid, he’s been routinely destroying her plane and dangerously reassembling it, all the while constantly putting her entire family in serious danger when he flies them, since he’s a terrible pilot.
Webby is a child.
If anything, Della talking with Webby is what informs her how to treat Launchpad. Which is to say, he’s a moron and must be spoken to and treated like a child.
Wow, if you think Della's character development was great in this episode, then wait until you see what she does in the next episode. Seriously it gets even better.
Also, am I the only one who thinks that Della should adopt Webby? Or at least let Webby call her "mom" at some point?
heck even the original intro has Scrooge in a mine cart
I think there's also the fact that she seems to love her plane and he didn't really took good care of it
Kinda late here but consider that the plane wasant atomized afther the carashed i say he did make a good job considering the unholy amout of punishment the plane toke.
Now we have at least one of the nephews' parents as more than a name, any chance we could find out what happened to Webby's parents? My headcanon is they were SHUSH agents and something bad happened to them that Mrs Beakley blames herself for, so there's going to be a future episode where she and Webby have some variation of the "Why did you never tell me?!?" moment.
Honestly I find the boys' reaction to Webby here a bit mystifying. We've had big monsters, treacherous mountains, death traps, collapsing subway tunnels, Egyptians with spears, sky pirates and a wicked witch and somehow the nephews are scared of Webby taking them past a few spiders? It doesn't match up.
Admittedly they had adults somewhat close by most of all those other times. But still.
The pilot head gear is called a "Bone Dome" "Skull Cap" or a "Foam Dome"
Launchpad is a better pilot than he realizes 😂
Fun Fact: Cornelius Coot is Donald's great-great grandfather!
I can't tell you how grateful I am that you didn't use any clips with the spiders. I'm not a hard core arachnophobe but the spiders were insanely over the top in this episode and both I and my friend were freaking out the entire time the dang things were on screen. It was horrifying.
Hahaha i'm not a huge fan of spiders myself, so even though I thought some of those were funny, I didn't want to have them on my screen that much during the editing process
13:54
Is 'Webby than usual' a pun? They've been attacked by spider's not too long before this and she's unnecessarily acting like one during the conversation.
Her spy(DER) training suddenly make sense to her (nick)name and not just the fact that she's web-footed
It was not a bad episode overall. However, I am curious how they will keep Dellas role relevant to the show without abandoning Donald, whom we need in more episodes in season 3. I also think its a shame this new Ducktales does so much good character development for some characters then falls flat on others. Huey's character is not consistant or done properly, and the girls are portrayed rather tomboyish which is fine except it suggests that anything other than that behaviour is not good.
What if the military is on high alert after the moon invasion and Donald is forced back into the Navy? I would love to see them introduce the Admiral Grimmitz character.
That could be interesting but I really would like to see Donald do more adventuring with the boys. Seeing admiral Grimmace would be cool.
According to one of the show crew (Frank Angones) Della and Donald are gonna have some "sibling shenanigan's" next season. So there's that part.
Just a heads up, this episode is not exactly arachnophobic-friendly. (Shudders).
Yeah, agreed.
They need to introduce Webby's parents in a later episode
In Brazil we also had that comic that showed what happened to her.
Launchpad strikes me as a guy who is not very intelligent (doesn't know the names for all the pieces of the plane, for example), but is very WISE. He's really good at intuitively knowing how the pieces fit together, even if he doesn't know what they are called or even what they do. He's good at people and, while I'd say he's oblivious sometimes, he can also be good at reading a room (like in the Last Crash of the Sunchaser when he sees the other adults arguing and puts on the TV to distract the kids).
Maybe this is all coming from my current D&D fixation where wisdom and intelligence are classified as two different things. Intelligence is knowing information about things, and Wisdom is about being perceptive and knowing how to act in a situation.
DellaPad!
Yeah I shipped.
Shit fam, me too 🤣
Just the size difference cracks me up
@@KariIzumi1 Reminds me of Maddie and Jack Fenton from Danny Phantom. 😁
when are you gonna do timephoon, glomtales, the richest duck in the world, and moonvasion?
I believe that Webby is a clone of Della
Scrooge must've missed his niece that much
I feel like he would have spent more time with her if that was the case. Remember the agent 22 and Black Heron episode?
@@abranca38 remember Jurassic world 2 fallen kingdom?
Lockwood didn't do so after creating Maisie
@@stratkids oh yeah! Good point!
This this hilarious post-finale 🤣
Now we finally know why the trio called Donald their Uncle… Della!
The name "the golden armory of cornelius coot" resembles borderlands "the secret armory of general knoxx" dlc
Della was, i think, not in a Danish comic but in a Dutch comic. I am Dutch and I have that comicbookstory at home.
I thought the reason Uncle scrooge lets her call him Uncle scrooge is because he just figures she's going to marry one of the three boys.
Things That Aged Well:
*Not this :p
I hope Della will call webby her mother or stepmom in season 3
I think that some how wabby will happen to be connected to the family, she has several traits that make her very similar to della, they are not daughter and mother of course because they wouldn't hide something like that to her, also that would be kind of stupid, but I think that some how it will be revealed that she is a relative. I just hope it doesn't happen the same than on star wars.
The fact that LP got the plane to a speed of 5000 Mph is enough to impress me
I seriously loved LP in this episode. He's just so genuine and eager to learn from Della to be a better pilot. But man, only in Ducktales can LP make crashing an artform
Yay it's back woo-oo
The fortress in this episode i where in ducklore on kilmotor hill where scrooges moneybin was, we know in this series that scoorges mansion is there so the fortress shouldn't be there. They must have moved it just for plot convience. That ok was just something I thought about
6:50 - just kind of... PLANE... a pilot? X-D
I think they made Launchpad far too dumb in the reboot.
He wasn't as dumb in the original series. He was good at fixing planes, he wasn't good at flying them.
In the original series, he had to learn to git gud at fixing planes Because he kept crashing them. He gets his first "crash" course in this in the part of the pilot where they pick up Donald for his 72 hour leave and crash in the Andes mountains. Scrooge tells him to fix the plane, and he says, "Hey, I'm a Flyer, not a plier." We later see him working on the plane that night with Donald helping him, Donald having shown his mechanical prowess in past comics by yearly disassembling his car down to individual parts to clean it, then put it back together again.
(Headcanon) After years of doing this, Launchpad got so good that he was able to design and build the Thunderquack.
Everyone stop asking about the boys’ dad.
Why can't we wonder who the dad is? He's an even bigger mystery than Della was.
I read somewhere NEITHER of them have a license to be a pilot.
i liked this ep and it was fun to watch.
but we can do with out the spiders in it please.
It's called a bomber hat.
The hat is an aviators cap
Personally episodes like this make me wonder if the Beagles are the native-American inhabitants and owners of Duckburg. If so we may still get a proper exploration of culturally exploitative capitalism that mcDuck is known for and the Bombie episode failed to deliver on.
Skull cap and goggles. It's called a skull cap the pilots hat Della and Launchpad wear in the episode is called a skull cap.
The hat you talked about but couldn't name is a Aviator hat
I wanna know who their father was... like how is that never brought up? they wanna know their mom but not their dad? what about Webby's parents?
But each character was reinvented and deserves at least equal presentation.
O\i would applause this dude analysis if thus benfited the family in his personal life
Wow i am surprised that you reviewed the entire episode without even a mention of the eight legged demons, also known as spider's, that appeared though out the episode, heck the most we see of them in this review is the first glimpse they show after Webby and the boys go though the "moss" wall.
11:24 Wait, didn't they already "Dewey" this story in Raiders of the Doomsday Vault? When Dewey is constantly trying to live up to his mom's expectations? Only now, Webby is trying to do it?
Everybody do , because everybody love Della as a cool family rolemodel.
Yup, and I don't mind that. Its nice seeing Della interact with the other characters.
