  • It’s time for us to discover the full story of F.O.W.L.’s brilliant, deceitful, and vicious leader: Bradford Buzzard; who of course isn’t a villain! Even though he was the grandson of the legendary adventurer Isabella Finch, was the first Junior Woodchuck, and had the opportunity to be a hero at S.H.U.S.H., we are going to examine what drew him to attempt to steal the world! Though Bradford began as an adventurer like Scrooge McDuck, what drew him to reign in chaos by any means necessary in DuckTales!

    It's interesting that he blames Scrooge for the moon invasion, but in reality, he accelerated the moon invasion by getting Della to take the Spear. That sent her to the moon.

She didn't HAVE to take it. She CHOSE to. And wasn't she warned by donald that space travel was too dangerous and that she had kids on the way and had responsibilities but she refused to listen ?

    Bradford revealing that he was the reason that Della stole the Spear of Selene and got lost on the moon, all so he could hurt Scrooge and isolate him.
    1) What makes it worse is that not only did Bradford hurt Scrooge: he hurt the entire McDuck family, causing Donald to never speak to Scrooge for ten years, the boys to never know who their mother was and Della stuck on the moon and not seeing her children grow up.
    2) Speaking of "isolate", while Bradford is showing Scrooge his slideshow, he mentions that he had wanted to isolate him, first showing a picture of Bradford glaring at Scrooge and Duckworth at a Christmas party *and then* the second picture shows Scrooge sadly hanging up a picture of Duckworth. *With implications that Bradford may have been responsible for his death somehow.*

    I really like Bradford as the archvillain of the Ducktales series, it works so well thematically and I like how his motivation is sound given that we've seen Louie in a similar position. Also I don't really believe Black Heron was sent into oblivion when she fell into the portal. Every other time she fell from a great height she used her cyborg arm to either escape or lost the cyborg arm in an attempt to grab something. I think she tampered with the portal, knowing she'd deliberately irritate Bradford and get pushed in, to have it send her to a different dimension. I think if we ever get a Darkwing Duck spinoff series we'll see Darkwing Duck, Launchpad, and Gosalyn encounter Black Heron and the Bradford clones while trying to rescue Gosalyn's grandpa.

      That was a brilliant theory actually. I think Bulba, Hammerhead Harrigan, a more intelligent and competent Steelbeck, and Tuskerini aka the owner of Funso's will get involved. I'm 88% sure the latter was working for FOWL by agreeing to use one of his amusement centers as an outpost in Duckburg. Negaduck could also make a comeback, though he would be his own man and focused on revenge against DW and LP for humiliating him

    • @warioland523
      @warioland523 3 роки тому +17

      There is also the fact that Bradford said if Scrooge was thrown in he would likely find a way out of it. Implying that it may not be foolproof as it seems and it is possible that someone may find a way out of the void the vortex traps them in or it may actually just do what it was intended and send them to another universe or dimension that Bradford didn't know of. Also Heron may become the main villain if she returns in Darkwing Duck. We already knew she was in a way the puppet master behind Bradford's actions that made him corrupt. So it would make sense.

      The tragedy of my OC the Smiler is that he was mutated into a demonic killer by Bradford's negligence, robbing the Smiler of his future. But when he tries to use the Harp of Mervana to expose the 'wolf in sheep's clothing', not only does it go wrong and Izzy tries to justify Bradford to the harp, but Izzy blames the accusations on the Smiler after his demonic attributes are accidentally revealed to her. If Isabella met modern Bradley AND Catlock (the Smiler's real name), she would be heartbroken at how her favourite grandson was (as her other grandson (Smiler) put it) 'No better than me'; of course Brad yelling back with 'You kill people'!

      In a certain way, any child who was forced to go on one of the adventures that Bufford was forced to go on would be left with various traumas and what's more, in the photographs, little Bufford is seen with constant expressions of fear, terror or nervousness. In addition to noticing that after growing up Bufford was permanently affected (it is seen during his presentation as since his graduation he never showed any expression of joy or happiness) demonstrating not being able to show other emotions that are not strong such as anger or fear and perhaps nervousness (the last being the easiest to show due to his various traumas)

      Not all kids are full of adventurous vigor like Donald's nephews. Some kids, nervous and shy by nature, like reading books in a quiet library, where they can learn skills and be at peace without anything which would endanger their delicate psyche. Ruin that kid's inner peace and certainly he would see only the worst in anything what he was forced to be part of, along with every injury he had from these adventures, because Bradford was never the most athletic bird in the world. If he said no in that matter, he would only hear in return "You don't mean that." or "You will appreciate it.". If Bradford was not dragged into adventures, he would become for example a stern, but ultimately noble, scholar. Instead, consumed by his past, he became a greedy and ruthless businessman.

    What I love about Bradford's plan with the Papyrus of Binding is that he literally didn't think how it would hinder him.
    Not even counting the contradiction that Scrooge can stay safe with his family if he gives up adventuring when family is the greatest adventure of all, he didn't consider the fact that, since Scrooge DID sign the Papyrus of Binding, the stipulation that he and his family would be safe protected them from anything Bradford threw at them.
    The moment Scrooge signed the contract, his family were immediately under the complete protection of the Papyrus and its reality altering powers, which was why Bradford couldn't do anything to stop their family as they fought him, thus giving the triplets and Webby the necessary time to find the contradiction in the Papyrus contract.
    Bradford's plan was literally what defeated his plan.

      However....the treatment he gave to the other clones and how he disposed Heron gave a pushback to make the family able to rescue Scrooge on time, since May and June saw Bradford as the monster he really was.

His so called justifications were just an excuse and any comment he said about himself not being a villain was just delusion. He showed that he enjoyed evil as well as he did smile sadistically numerous times in the finale. He's also the only villain in the show to actually murder characters on screen like his brothers and Black Heron his own allies. He has no honour due to the fact that he was still going to kill Donald even after Scrooge signed his contract along with nearly every other character in the show including children. He's so evil even other villains like Magica who actually call themselves villains hate him which ultimately lead to his downfall.

    Y'know, there's one thing I'm curious about: as much as I can understand the reluctance of going on dangerous adventures, (I get it, it's not for everyone, not even me) back when he was a child, why didn't he just simply tell his grandmother that as much as she loved it, he didn't want to be like her? You can't tell me that in between all the journeys he had with Isabella Finch, he couldn't have sat down with her and had a heart-to-heart talk about what he wants to do instead of shutting himself up and helplessly going anyways; and given how amazing she was, I'm sure she would've understood. I guess that's just another thing he doesn't have in common with the McDucks: no family ethics; at least they still have those moments, unlike him.

This is all despite the fact that he possibly had the resources to do as Bulba and Lunaris did, although his way of villainy was in the idea of control. If we're speaking in terms of a threat to existence, Lunaris and Bulba easily take the cake.

    Weirdly he’s right (the UA-cam’s not Bradford) the thing was it’s possible that with Huey,Loui,Dewey could possible have enjoyed adventure as they had each other, Webby and Scrooge but Bradford had his aunt only who was probably super daring instead of learning to find joy it traumatized young Bradford and realized that what adventure is something chaotic, he saw himself as the hero to make sure no child could go through what he went through or even risk those adventures going wild, he saw himself as the hero or at the very least not making himself the villain just like general ironwood and handsome jack, Bradford was the hero of his own story

    Bradford, to me seems to be the most pathetic and self-righteous villain out there; even more so than Amanda Waller from DC. Sure, adventures CAN be costly and create some dangerous situations. But planning the annihilation of a single family for thirty years, bankrupting a multi-billion dollar industry AND putting together a team of villains (while failing to admit you yourself are one) isn't any better.
    I hate characters who claim to do evil for "the greater good" and believe in the idea of "doing bad for good reasons." To me, the only time where a "bad thing" is being done out of noble intentions is where Robin Hood is concerned. Everyone else who believes in such ideas are just...evil

      There is 1 thing Bradford & Waller have in common.
      Bradford created Webby; Waller created Terry!
      And at least Waller created Terry for an Actual good cause!

      You must not know a lot of villains if you think Bradford is the most pathetic villain ever.
