Be nice to Launchpad. We need positive himbo vibes all around. Kindness over competency in my opinion. He may not be the most helpful, but he is kind. I think that is important to see.
Exactly. He's like a more extreme version of Soos. You get used to his antics and eventually find them endearing.
Albeit, I reckon Soos was better handled overall. But I do like Launchpad quite a lot, too.
The main story editor (also a producer) of the show stated that "LP has had many significant others, every relationship was great and loving and ended incredibly amicably, and everyone he's dated is a better person for having dated Launchpad."
@@MAlanThomasII And for that, I completely agree. I only state that I like Soos more because... well, I personally liked Soos more.
But LP is still a fantastic character and an essential component of DT2017 -- if anything, even more than DT1987, which speaks to the fact that his originally just replacing Donald in a lot of stories which were adapted from the comics... he's better when he and Donald can coexist and be their own people. Both are different representations of the Heart; Launchpad is the all-loving, positive inspiration, Donald is the conscience and the put-upon everyman who still sacrifices everything for his family.
They managed to slip in a WTF that Huey wrote on his map in his angry confusion. He wrote “WTD” for “what the duck” to slide it in.
Huey admires Scrooge but doesn’t have any problem challenging people he looks up to.
1:15 Glad I could help. This watch order is so much better paced, spreading out the plot episodes and the ones focusing on a specific triplet a lot more evenly.
Agreed. But they just had to air this much later because they needed something wither themed for Christmas.
Don't worry. Launchpad becomes the best character in the show when he singlehandedly rescues the boys long lost fourth sibling named Phooey.
Aw, Mosco's gonna love Phooey! Tragedy that their dad took him away, but I guess he did need the training for his mystic kung fu...
Dude don’t spoil this show for her
So, if anyone doesn't understand the reference (no show spoilers) there used to be a reoccurring mistake in Donald Duck comics where the artist would accidentally draw a fourth triplet because he was so used to drawing three identical ones. A fan wrote-in and asked about this. The artist explained the mistake, but joked that it was the secret fourth nephew "Phooey Duck." Fans have referred to the accidental fourth triplet as Phooey Duck ever since.
@@hunterlawrence3573 If I remember correctly, there was also a comic in, like, dutch that explained that a lightning strike or something made it so Phooey would randomly appear for seconds at a time before disappearing.
Phooey’s the best. He wasn’t in the old Duck Tales series but he was a part of the Disney Duck comics
Fun fact: this episode was written by ND Stevenson, the creator of Nimona and developer of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Remember he is "Scrooge" McDuck even though he's not the other scrooge guy he still has a history with Christmas
Yeah! The character was made for a christmas story (the comic "Christmas on Bear Mountain"), and named specifically after Ebenezer Scrooge!
Scrooge is so much older than 75 XD
Considering that he's been around since the 1840's (because he was around during the Gold Rush), of course he is.
@@ryaneaston3487he was around during the klondike gold rush, which was in the 1890's.
It made sense when the character was first introduced in 1947, as he could've conseivable lived during those times if he was around 65-70 years old.
@@TheKrislafand he wasn't young back then either lol
@@TheKrislaf ahhhh ok
Yeah he was like 100 and something in like the 1940s
The spear of Selene was once used by King Loonidas, when he and his 300 Squakan soldiers defended a mountain pass against the Pugian Empire allowing the rest of the Geese army to retreat. Later his granddaughter, Squakasandra, used the spear to hunt down the Cult of Quackosmos
and free her little brother, Aleggsios, from their control.
Scrooge, Della, and Donald found the spear years later, but in doing so resurrected the Geese army as undead seeking revenge. Della used the spear to fight them but lost her life doing so.
gotta love all the animal puns in this show. That episode is better then the Mew York episode
We never actually learn what Santa did to earn Scrooge's ire.
but we DO learn Scrooge's history with the Krampus.
This was originally aired in December 2017 since it was vaguely Christmas themed.
the key word being vaugely
Launchpad survives by sheer luck, clumsyness and oblivious nature help him and his peeps survive. He's like a stuntman who job is to survive crashing.
"Just because it's a myth doesn't mean it's not true." Says the person who made a living out of uncovering mythical artifacts and visiting mythical places.
7:12
He’s actually right. In Ducktales, practically every myth and legend turns out to be true.
i see it as scrooge meaning something like "myths can be true. They're only myths because they aren't verified enough for common people to know the difference. Of course some myths are pure horse hockey."
But a lot of times they end up being somewhat off, even when there is some truth to them. Like (vague spoilers) the Pyramid or Fountain of Youth episodes.
The Scrooge reveal was even more obvious because the outline of the Neverest Ninny looked JUST like him
I consider Huey my personal favorite of the three triplets, and don't worry, he gets his fair share of stand-out moments in the show, they try to be fair to all three of them, and the other characters as well
Huey being the 'rules' guy of the trio means he sadly doesn't get to be as directly tied into overarching plots or inciting incidents like Dewey and Louie will, but Danny Pudi really nails his vibe - it's got some of the same DNA as Abed from Community but is recognisably different.
If anything, I’d say that Dewey’s shtick easily grows old, or at least overdone, and it (very rarely) makes him insufferable several times. My favourite is Huey, but of them all Louie gets the lion’s share of actual character development…
@@borjankosarac3645 - Louie's status as 'evil' triplet certainly ends up driving conflict more organically, particularly in season 2 when... whatever happens in season 2 happens.
@borjankosarac3645 - Dewey definitely has big protagonist energy - he is constantly jumping at the call to adventure, which can be a good plot motivator, but the mystery surrounding *spoilers* does bring out some interesting nuance for him.
@@radicaladz It's more when Dewey does stuff like... what he does in TDKR in mid-Season 2. Or, the one with the lion guy mid-Season 3... Small stuff, but which makes him kind of annoying in the moment... adds up. I actually like what they do with the bigger-picture for him more, and that includes how inward-focused he gets in the Season 1 finale... especially how he treats different members of his family.
Because his brothers, his uncle(s), how he views each of them and how he treats them, what he expects of them and how he has to recognise his own feelings aren't an objective truth... That stuff, I live for. He's still my least-favourite, but that's a personal thing; I just like Huey best, and Louie second-most of them, I'm not saying they're ACTUALLY better in any critical lens.
5:35 "This gym looks like he works out."
Nope, Launchpad just be built like that. Built up by lots and LOTS of crashing.
Love seeing you continue with DuckTales.
Also, fun fact, ND Stevenson did write for this (and a few other early) episodes. Kinda gives you an idea where the She-Ra reboot may have stemmed from 😂
Seriously though, this reboot also continues to impress (coming from someone who never saw the original, but still loves this version regardless).
This isn't a lore spoiler, just the age thing. Now I gotta edit the whole comment since someone *actually* did the math below. He was 148 at the beginning of the show and when it aired. Boom, there, accurate.
they get wibbly wobbly with the time/ ages of lots of characters. I don't think Webby is 10. I thought she was 8
@@illanalevi6091 No clue how old Webby is. Apperently, she was like 11 the whole series till *[big ol spoiler]*. Even then, Scrooge is more like, 150 if I did the math right since other people did it a few years later. Point is, the guy is like 150 - 160 at this point.
Webby said in season 1 that Scrooge hatched in 1867, which lines up with his date of birth in the old comics. That would make him 150 in 2017.
This season might take place in 2015, however, even though the season began airing in 2017. Frank Angones confirmed after season 2 that Donald is 36. We know from a couple lines at the end of season 2 that a year had gone by since the start of the series, meaning he'd have been 35 at the start. Frank also said Donald is about 7 years older than Launchpad, and according to Launchpad's driver's license, he was born in 1987, which would have meant Donald was born in 1980, which to be 35 at the start of the show would've made it take place in 2015, which would make Scrooge 148 in season 1.
Not sure how "A lotta people did the math" and concluded a duck born in 1867 would be 153 in 2017.
@@drummergirl2319 I was not one of those people who did do the math. And when they did, it was someone reacting to the show in 2020. So they calculated for 2020 - 1867. Listen, I never said I was right, it's just what I saw at the time. I'll edit the comment to be more accurate.
@UnknownAkari there's a few details we dont know about Scrooge. How long was he stuck in that timeless demi-gorgon plane? Should we count his time traveling with the Doctor? Is his life being prolonged due to the many magical items buried under his house? Why are there so many bodies buried on his property?
How much of this am I making up?
The reason why there’s been more focus on Dewey is because each season is focused on one of the triplets, season one of course being him. So don’t worry, you’ll see much from Huey and Louie soon!
Clearing this up, Luanchpad is the DUDE! In a few episodes in the series, we catch glimpses of the MAN under that goofy exterior; and beleave me, Samuel L Jackson and Hughes Jackson got nothing on him.
75 years?
I’m pretty sure that’s not even half of Scrooges current age tbh
"Half" his age? That's not even a one-tenth of his age
@@DragonGoddess18 He's roughly around 150 at the time of this show, so that is close to half his age.
@@hunterlawrence3573 You're probably right about that (not sure if Scrooge himself ever said his age on-screen)
I was just making a joke about a certain dime when I said "one-tenth"
Launchpad... knows a lot about *one* specific thing. I can't help but identify with that somewhat.
To not make you worry that webby won't be like Mabel, webby is confirmed by the creators that she along with the boys not to have romantic interests but there are headcanons that webby is a lesbian or bi due to a specific relationship she'll have with a certain future character in the series
I can't wait to see Mos react to:
1. Webby dying at the hands of her Best Friend.
2. The reveal Launchpad is actually a Secret Agent and a Genius. He just pretends to be dumb to cover his identity.
3. The reveal that Webby is actually a Robot created by to spy on Scrooge McDuck. It's part of this super secret Shadow War that's going on behind the scenes between the various Duckburg Billionaires.
Donald Duck didn't go because he is fixing his house boat.
He's often absent since the original Ducktales show left him out entirely save for a few cameos, and Launchpad acted as his replacement. This show made Launchpad an even bigger doofus to set them apart, but they still usually leave out one if the other is coming along.
Thankfully, whenever we get Donald it’s clear the writers adore him and while they will make him the butt of the joke, he’s arguably the Heart of the entire show.
How can you not love Launchpad? He's a pilot!
And a Secret Spy.
I'm still astonished that they gave Huey, Dewey and Louie individual personalities. I never watched the original _DuckTales_ series, but I am an old fart who grew up with the old cartoons and comics, and in those the only way to discern between the three was by the color of their caps.
I hope they get to keep those personalities in future things.
But it *works,* doesn't it? And we get so many more stories out of it than we would the old triplet hivemind!
@@Brasswatchmanyeah I hope the the personalities of the triplets continue in different stuff.
The mom thing will be brought back up! That's all I'm going to say
Hey everyone! Remember to keep the comments free of any spoilers of future episodes for Mosco. Have fun & be creative with fake spoilers! Also, make sure we’re keeping the comments cool & comfortable for everyone here. Enjoy the reaction y’all!!!
Anyway, remember that naturally-occuring wormholes are a thing in this world. That's gonna be really important in just a few episodes.
Fun Fact- In the beginning of the Scott Pilgrim comic by Bryan Lee O'Malley, the song that Scott's band "Sex Bob-omb" performs has a complicated title that Scott can't remember, but he calls the song "Launchpad McQuack" after Scrooge's pilot and chauffer.
I'm so happy you decided to react to this show. It truly is a bit underrated, in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing how your thoughts and views on the world, story, and characters, evolve over time^^
I can't wait for the follow-up to this episode in the first half of Season 3 when Webby researches the portals of Neverrest and accidentally ends up in a world of frog people.
Launchpad has….HISTORY… and it’s one we can only imagine.. this is a duck that has SEEN things horrible things.. he has been traumatized and gone through hell and back. And lived to NOT ever tell his tales…
This is a fun one!
The next episode is my favorite of early season 1.
Each season is centered around each triplet to keep in mind for the future.
I wish the triplets had more distinguishable names, like Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Maybe Jett, Turbo, and Rebel. Or heck, even Hubert, Dewford, and Louis
No one is prepared for the last episode of She-ra!
Huey is wonderful. I don't think you'll change your mind on Launchpad. Even after the super-serum that cures his clumsiness, he just becomes a Mary-Sue character, flying around with his super-powered blanket cape saving Duckburg. He's really a distraction. I think Disney was hoping to stealthily have their own DC comics, what with SuperLaunch, DarkWing and WonderBird. Still, Donald and Daisy's superhero costumes were cool.
Launch pad will be very important later on he is actually something like the "chosen one" you'll see...
When I asked "is that episode 3?" I only wanted to make sure I didn't miss any of your DuckTales reactions.
Launchpad is an extremely divisive character, to the surprise of no one. He's made even more impossibly dumb than in the original series, because that's Beck Bennet's whole schtick on SNL, and a character that works in singular sketches isn't always suited to always being around in an episodic show like this. But as the show goes on they do come up with some neat things to do with him that makes it worth it to me.
He may be a bumbling buffoon, but he's also a complete sweetheart.
A lot of characters--some new, some reworked--were "controversial." As the series aired, one of the old Gawker sites--Gizmodo? Maybe--was reviewing _individual episodes as they aired_ for a while, and IIRC they were absolutely apoplectic over the _(nae spoilers)_ "tech giant" character and the somewhat more hostile version of Gyro Gearloose.
I’m loving your reactions to ducktales! I’m so happy you decided to do this (and good omens!) 😊
I wanted to let you know that each season focuses on one of the triplets. Season 1 is Dewey, season 2 is Louie, and season 3 is Huey. That's why it feels like they are giving less screen time to Huey like you said in the beginning.
Scrooge is literally ancient, he steals vitality and/or mental energy from others to keep himself from withering or going senile. Launchpad used to be a genius before he started working for Scrooge.
What I like about the name of the mountain, is that it's not just a lazy pun on Everest of "Yeah, just put an n in front of it..." If you put a space between the two r's in the name of the show's mountain, it becomes Mount Never Rest.
I’m glad you’re watching in the producer’s order!
A Doctor Who alum will appear this season, as well as an old flame of Scrooge McDuck, a species of earthquake causing egg people, a pair of murderous ponies, members of the Greek pantheon, and a accident-prone dogman. Only one of these is technically false. 😉
And only technically.
And now for today’s episode of: two lies and a truth.
1. There’s a really funny episode coming up where Huey, knows exactly what to do to disarm a trap or a situation and it all ties into a specific merritt, badge that he recently got from the junior woodchucks.
(origami badge, Code breaking badge, snake charmer badge)
2. A new villain will be introduced that is based off of tech billionaires, and possibly even specifically Mark Zuckerberg.
(He also uses a lot of micro aggressions at one point and it’s surprisingly uncomfortable)
3. Donald buys a weird looking shag carpet from a thrift store for the houseboat that switches peoples bodies with static shock.
(it’s still not entirely sure if the triplets actually swapped with their correct bodies or not.)
Be nice to my sweet baby Launchpad McQuack. Himbo icon.
Yeah, you're watching these in the best order. Originally, Disney Channel moved this episode to later in the season so it'd air closer to Christmas, and they bunched a few groups of plot heavy episodes together for some reason. Overall, it still makes sense watching in either order, but the producer's order is definitely better paced.
all i got to say is i love that cup, or mug, don't care. i want it.😂
Can't wait for the episode where Dewey gets super speed powers and voracious chili dog cravings
I can’t wait till you get to the episode where Launchpad gets married to a random dude and it’s revealed that he’s actually a superhero named Captain Crash
the boys each get a season that is mostly them
season 1 for Dewey, 2 for Louie ,and 3 for Huey
so yeah it will be very dewey for a while but the other get their seasons
Scrooge has a... _somewhat unique_ view of what constitutes "safe for children," I'm afraid. 😆
"I'm so glad that was not a boy."
* grins forshadowingly *
oh dont worry launchpad can predict the future
As someone who is currently on my 9th rewatch of DuckTales, my favorite show ever, I have to highly recommend to *not* watch this in Production Order and to instead watch it in Airing Order, how the episodes were dropped to the world. I can see why from an outside perspective, it'd be wisest to start with the way the show's creators intended for you to watch it, but trust me when I say that this is one of those rare times where the creators are wrong about their own show, in the sense that they can't enjoy it as a viewer and understand what that experience is like.
In the various ways I've watched this, along with new people each rewatch, Airing Order has always ensured the most engaging, most attached, and most captivating experience of the show. It's had people hooked and made them fans. Every time Production or Disney+ Order was tried, the people I was watching it with ended up dropping the show because it just didn't hook them. All us fans from when the show was airing got hooked exactly from that order. That airing order. I don't even necessarily think the Airing or Production Order are *too* different, but the results speak for themselves.
The way the channel released them despite the Production Codes is just the prime way DuckTales is meant to be watched, and it's not something the producers are going to understand because they've advocated for their intended order to be the official way on all of Disney's platforms. It's not like there's egregious episode discrepancies via Airing Order, either. No drastic differences. The season finale still comes at the end, the story beats are still told when they're supposed to be, and everything remains in chronological order from a plot standpoint by just watching Airing Order. If you didn't know about it from people talking about what the creators wanted, you wouldn't even be able to tell that the Production Codes of episodes are not in meticulous order.
I'd recommend going in Airing Order from whatever point you're at forward. I love this show to bits, and as a fan that's ran through watching this with a variety of people, I just have to put out there that Airing Order is the prime way to experience this show, despite what you've heard from people advocating for the producers' intentions.
I second this
Santa is my favorite running joke in the series😂😂
9:05 I wonder how they lost their heads. 13:12 Decapitated by wormholes closing.
Never clicked on a video so fast
Scrooge McDuck was born in Glasgow
for a second i looked at the thumbnail and questioned why a christmas episode was this early in the show and then questioned over breakfast if they even had a dedicated episode for the holiday
ducks
1:46
Don't worry. You will be satisfied precisely one episode later. :)))))
Edit: Also, has Elijah seen this?? Has this question been answered already?
Elijah said she wasnt interested
@@panizshariat7892 ahhh ok.
I can't wait for the Nephews to get their elemental powers!!!
Just an FYI in case you’re bothered by it Mosco, but the larger story arcs of this show will often sit for multiple episodes at a time; this is a show that mixes the self-contained, character-building “one-off” stories with the larger narrative. So we’re going to be slow-burning this candle… Thankfully since the show is complete, you don’t have to deal with the frustration a lot of fans who were impatient for progress dealt with; hope you enjoy this ride!
Do you know if Elijah is also gonna see Ducktales?
You’d be surprised how old Scrooge is
"How does he not know how to deal with a clip like that? You deal with them all the time at the gym."
But he's not at the gym. Totally different situation.
Oh by the way. Webby has a cameo appearance in Amphibia
Great reaction!
Launchpad was my favorite character from the old show and they only made him funnier.
Thumps up if you think Wee Lass needs to also react at the 80s Ducktales
Well this is a mixed up order. Episode 3 should be the Great Dime Chase. You know I forgot this was technically a Christmas episode, send some using them as the basis for a timeline throughout the entire series. Which means the triplets are 10 in this episode, there will be 11 the next Christmas episode and then 12 for the third.
Personally I find the list where the Dime Chase as episode 3 as a more cohesive storyline for the series.
By the way the episode that's called the Beagle Boys Birthday bash you should have Elijah over. There's a character intro that you to should be together to watch.
Additional.
Not to be a bother, but I had to go and look to confirm the order of the episodes. If what you're watching has been done by Disney channel then they're screwing it up.
Like Amphibia and The Owl House there's a lot going on with DuckTales in such a way that is not episodic it's actually a visible progressive continuity. Given the release year DuckTales probably set the foundation for all the shows we have come to enjoy on Disney that have a set storyline.
For the best viewing of this series here's the episode list. I look forward to seeing your reaction videos to my favorite episodes.
This show works on George of the Jungle logic. Nobody dies, they just get really bog boo-boos.
In the comics Scrooge died at 100 years old.
All places in the DuckTales world are pun related
Is that Bunny Rock?
Huey id the best of the triplets cause he’s always looking out for the other 2 no matter how badly they mess up
And don’t worry about launchpad he becomes vital to the story
Launchpad is the loveable idiot sidekick of the show
He said it in the first episode, "Hi I'm everybody's friend."
Just wait until the episode where Launchpad dates a clone of himself!
0:55 it's because you watched so 1 and 2 in the same video.
almost no one really notices that there is a mountain so deadly that it's named Mount. Certain Doom... AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE MOST DEADLY MOUNTAIN IN THE DUCK TALES WORLD!!!
Scrooge killed Mallardy for the insurance money, after being called a ninny one too many times.
I cannot wait until you meet Rocket. Easily my favorite character in this show.
Less of a spoiler & more of a neat detail you could probably notice right away.
Each of the three triplets has an aspect of Scrooge they respect Scrooge for.
Hewey is the knowledge hangering bookworm that strives to make the unknown known,
Dewey is the daredevil who wants nothing more than to become a legend that took on the impossible,
& Louie is the sceamer who likes money, but not the work needed to earn it.
As for Webey? Girl, Scrooge & all things Clan McDuck are her hyperfixation. She researches Scroge's history with enough gusto to make the FNaF fanbase think she's going overboard.
They always air in the wrong order don't they? lol Like, y'all have one job.
Can you react to epithet erased please
Each season focuses on different triplet so more Duie focus is not a writing flaw, but big brain move
Don't lose your heads 9:05
I can't wait for the Father's Day episode. A crossover event with Looney Tunes' Daffy Duck and Marvel's Howard the Duck.
I don't know if it's odd or fitting that you dislike Launchpad, because when all these characters were reimagined and flesh out Launchpad kind of missed the boat staying relatively the same as he was in the 80s DuckTales and Darkwing Duck
It’s okay, this is the proper Episode 3, it was aired out of order due to being held back because it was vaguely Christmassy. Anyway, wait’ll you find out that Scrooge’s feud with Santa began because Santa cheated him out of some prime North Pole real estate.
9:17: OK, if that’s George Mallardy, here’s _my_ question:
WHO PUT THE T-SHIRT ON HIM?
Did he buy it in advance just in case he died on the mountain so whoever found him could be amused by the darkly funny shirt?
I can’t wait for the episode where Scrooge gets tricked into marring someone who wants his money and the boys + webby have to stop the wedding 😁
Spoiler: Santa Claus is a villain and he stole his slay from Scrooge so that he could travel the world in one night.
Looking forward to when she finds out that Launchpad is actually their long lost father.
This episode was crazy but then again it reminded me of gravity falls
:D
You think she will ship Huey and Boyd?
