The title is overrated

[ankkalinna]

my overall review of ducktales reboot is that i largely don’t enjoy it. i do understand things being changed in adaptation, and i even would want some changes… but pretty much every character is adapted in a way that they have lost all the reasons i enjoy them for in the comics (except… gladstone actually…. i can’t believe the Worst Goose is lucky on a meta level too)

Now this is obviously subjective. what one considers the inherent qualities in a character depends… but in lot of cases they seem to be ignoring the character dynamics or focusing on weird details over that… some changes i get from the pov of the story they want to tell. like everyone working for scrooge is a weirdo so this ms quackfaster is also a violent weirdo. i get it. but also i like quackfaster in the comics because she’s the normal worker just trying to do her job (&her relationship with scrooge can be funny)

But like… when the crew says stuff like this:

(this is about neighbour jones, a character who was completely unrecognizable in this new role??? like he is only the same character in the way he looks)

comics/barks fans are justified in feeling baited and criticizing this kinda superficial fanservice

i think dt has also other problems with plot, characterization, jokes (which again is subjective) lot of which comes from it having all the baggage of a reboot… I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes and i’m sure working for disney is a pain, so i’m not interested in blaming the crew or anything. all i can do is look at the finished product

there are things i do like in the show too. i think effort went into it and i’m not interested in accusing the crew for being ‘fake fans’ or any of that nonsense.

and also i don’t mind anyone liking the show or preferring the characterization or anything, obviously. i just largely don’t care so i don’t blog about dt17 for the most part

Honestly, I first liked Ducktales 2017 quite a lot, but that episode where we met Scrooge's parent, that plot detail really killed the show for me. Scrooge fixed the family castle with magical rocks that granted basically immortality for him and his family, and this plot is there only as they can have Scrooge living through Klondike goldrush AND make modern day jokes and stories taken to 2010's, 121 years AFTER Klondike holdrush? Yeah, count me out.

Can somebody tell me plotwise episodes of Ducktales, please!? Because of work I don’t have much time to watch it, and now after seeing clip from the latest episode I really wanna catch up on this show, and watch filler episodes when I have more time. I’m currently at episode 13, Scrooge’s birthday episode.

[lizzy-mun]

Ok here’s a quick list of episodes you need to watch to understand the overarching plot (since the show had problems with airing episodes out of order i’m including all episodes. Plus, that way people who have a similar problem as you can use the list for themselves)  The episodes that are strikethrough are the ones you don’t need to watch. The ones with notes behind them are not important for the main plot but still worth watching)

Episode 1 “Woo-oo!” Episode 2 “Daytrip of Doom! Episode 3  "The Great Dime Chase!” Episode 4  “The Beagle Birthday Massacre!” (Only the parts with Lena at the start and end are important) Episode 5  “Terror of the Terra-firmians!” Episode 6  “The House of the Lucky Gander!” Episode 7  “The Infernal Internship of Mark Beaks!” (introduces Beaks as a character but is otherwise irrelevant Episode 8  “The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!” Episode 9  “The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!” Episode 10  “The Spear of Selene!” Episode 10 “Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!” Episode 12  “The Missing Links of Moorshire!” Episode 13  “McMystery at McDuck McManor!” (Duckworth is introduced in the end) Episode 14  “Jaw$!” Episode 15  “The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!” (Not important for the plot but gives some Scrooge backstory so i recommend watching it) Episode 16  “Day of the Only Child!” Episode 17  “From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!” (Reveals yet more backstory but nothing about the main plot unimportant Episode 18  “Who is Gizmoduck?!” Episode 19  “The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!” Episode 20  “Sky Pirates…In the Sky!” Episode 21  “The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!” Episode 22  “The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!” Episode 23  "The Shadow War!

Thank you, this is so helpfull! Thankfully it's not more than 3, I think I manage to watch them before the season final 😊

I love Nancy Green and all but I'm afraid she will be seen only in few episode, then she will escape the law because "you can't force a zebra out of it's stripes" or she will leave because "she is carefree spirit who needs to ride into the sunset" or something else cow manure like that.

I wish she would stay forever. But I know she won't.

Due the recent Logan Paul incident, I’d like to share few true stories that had happened in my country course of two years and seriously talk about using your cameras and cameraphone.

1. 15-year-old boy got hit by a car while he was driving with his new scooter. The boy died on the scene. Family was devastated, and father wrote everyday on his son’s Facebook profile. Few days after the incident family found out that young girl has taken a photo of the dead boy and sent it to her friend, who spreaded it forward to several people. Father had to pleade on Facebook that people wouldn’t spread the photo anymore. 2. There was a terrorist attack in Turku. A man stabbed several women, two men trying to defend women and one 15-year-old girl. One of the stabbing victims was with her 6-month old baby, but survived. Two women died. According to witness, a young woman saw dead victim, took her phone and took a selfie with the body. After that she kept walking. 3. A woman committed a suicide under the train. Teenage boy saw the parked train, the body still hanging on the train. He took a picture and sent it to his friend through Whatsapp. But the boy didn’t guess that his friend sent the picture further, and soon the photo were all over the whatsapp and internet. The police confronted the boy, and boy deeply regrets sending the picture. 4. This is rather recently. Few days before christmas an elderly couple driving their car got hit and killed by a truck. The car got completely totaled. To the surprise of police, they noticed that SEVERAL CARS slowed down or stopped to take a photo of the accident. On the scene were mourning relatives of the elderly couple. Suddenly one man with his cameraphone approced the mourning family and told them to POSE next to the car wreck. Police told the man leave, who disappointedly sniffed and left. Due the incident, road safety union launched this campaigne:

DON’T FILM!

1. Help the injured.

2. Call for help

3. Alarm others.

How is it possible, that something like this obvious has to be informed? Why first thing that comes in mind when people confront a dead body or accident is to take their cameraphone and take a photo or video? There is time and place to take pictures - injury, accident or death is NOT one of them. It’s really disrespectful, you are putting yourself in danger - AND others!- and you’ll regret it afterwards. And if you put it on the social media, large amount of people will see it - your family, your teacher, your boss, your namesake, people you don’t know, children… and victims family. So PLEASE, DON’T TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS, don’t send them anywhere and let the emergency services do their  job.

So, if you see an accident:

Help the injured victims

Call your country’s emergency number

Alarm others

Advice emergency service to the scene.

But if you see that there is already enough helpers, police, fire department or ambulance, keep on going. Don’t block the road, don’t slow down unless necessary, follow polices instructions. Leave the phone in your bag or glove compartment, don’t take pictures. Else You may cause an another accident.

Please pay respect to dead - don’t cause more heathbrake.

Have a safe rest of the year!

Edit// ok näemmä tämä sai suurempaa huomiota kuin odotin (oletin max 20 notea) ja jotkut tunnistivat tapaukset lähipiiristä, joten jos jokin kertomus tuntuu loukkaavalta tai liian henkilökohtaiselta, älkää epäröikö ottaa yhteyttä, niin poistan kyseisen tarinan tai koko postauksen.

So I'd like to tell you about my headcanon about death in Eauestria.

Based on episodes I see, I believe that when pony dies, they leave their body behind. They will arrive to the starry skies, and is greeted by celestial beings. They are shown their all life, all the up and downs, all the joy and sorrow. Finally, the pony will turn into a bright star on the sky, visible to Equestria, and they are welcomed by their past loved ones and friends. They will be able follow their living loved ones through the mirror, and even help them indirectly.

For example, even though apple family's parents have passed away, they still look upon to their loved ones and see everything their children achieve. And they couldn't be any more prouder.

Also the place where Twilight sparkle got her wings are Starry Gates. All the legends and great powerful ponies of the past gathered and with their magic gave the wings.

There could be ponies memorial day, too. On that night, ponies gather to one spot and send sky lanterns to Starry Gates for their loved ones. Lanterns may even include a gift, like passed pony's favorite treats, drawings, letters, you name it. After the sky lanterns, living ponies will celebrate and tell stories and great memories of their passed love ones.

So I haven't played Overwatch or even looked OW tag maybe for 5 months and... What the FUCK have they done to Mercy!? Why she can resurrect only one player at the time (not to mention so slowly) and cool down is like 20 seconds? Wasn't her ultimate point being able to resurrect lots of teammates at the time? And what the hell is valkyrie, just flying? How did they fuck her up so badly!?

Strobelite & Hallelujah Money

Strobelite: would you rather spend all night partying or at home?

Larry: “Um.. partying probably?”

Steve: “I don’t have a preference! At home I can meditate but parties are fun!”

Hallelujah Money: fame or fortune?

Larry: “FORTUNE”

Steve: “I’m already pretty well known for my.. many albums.. *cough* at a bargan bin near you *cough* so I guess fortune!”

Larry: “….”

Tumblr/sjw: "The new episode of TAWOG makes us and our cause look bad!"

Me: *flashbacks all the hetero- white- and manhate topics and arguments about equality, bullying other users for ridicilous reasons, gendergate and rageing over canon "heteronormative" relationships* "Yeah. TAWOG. OK. Sure"

I love how they added Floyd Gottfredson's late comic style to this. Usually Disney comicuniverse is really overlooked by Disney, so I am really glad how they started to recognize comics more and respect the stories and characters of it. Also Ducktales does this, I love how they use both Carl Barks' and Don Rosa's canons to stories and backgrounds.

Does anyone of you visit 9GAG? If so, you may have seen THIS meme:

I've been using 9GAG quite long, and I've seen huge part of the commenters/posters being homo-and transphobic, children hating misogyny idiots, who claims to love animals,  and now this. They are making fun of how "doggo" or "pupper" (I know - idiotic words, right?) will have clean teeth, how "cruel we are for testing the recipe for our doggo" and how FUCKING LISTERINE will FUCKING REFRESH dogs' breath!  I Get it, it's just joke - a really UNFUNNY, IGNORANT JOKE! They are basically laughing, how animals suffer. Animal testing is an incredibly huge shame. Medical animal testing is in the grey area - It has helped to solve a cure for several diseases, but It's still questionable. But in house hold and makeup animal testing is incredibly unneccessary. This meme really showed how stupid a human can be. Animal testing is no laughing matter. I'll never use that site again.

Honestly I really can't choose the headcanon between male-born-homosexual-Mr Small and transmale-homosexual-Mr Small.

They are both good headcanons.
