Bushroots been plaguing me with this song for a good few days now and this is the result
Gonna ramble about him so. Read if you wanna
I'm not the biggest bushroot fan due to people infantilizing him (dt17 included) but it's important to me that it's acknowledged that he is not innocent and he's not a good person
In his introduction episode the first thing he does once he gets powers is to go kill people, yes they did bully him and make him lose his job, however that's no grounds for murdering individuals
additionally, once he received the smallest ounce of affection, he proceeded to kidnap the only person who was nice to him and force her into a scenario she didn't want to be a part of. The fact these were the first things be thought of doing shows that he's been thinking about it even before he got his powers, he simply couldn't act on them because he's, well, a loser. The moment he felt some power he completely abused it
"I don't want to be a plant!"
"oh you'll grow to love it"
that's honestly awful.
that episode aside, him creating living creatures to be his wife/girlfriend is also incredibly strange and unhealthy behaviour. those beings will never know a life outside him, never know anyone else, their sole purpose is to be his partner, which again–is weird.
Then with Spike, he created him, and he refuses to acknowledge him and treat him well at all, which is awful behaviour considering Spike is also stuck with Bushroot. (and that's not even to mention that Bushroot doesn't even appreciate plants that much either, if that were the case he wouldn't abuse his dog-like companion)
all that is to say, 2017 ducktales claiming that he's "not a villain" is an absurd take. he's incredibly selfish and has an insane victim complex .
there's definitely more but also sighhhhh. bushroot is a very interesting character and his flaws and awful personality is what make him great, these things shouldn't be tossed aside for the 'misunderstood trope'. he's not that.
Negaduck likes the Prime universe in the sense that he finds it a challenge. His universe is already pretty rotten, and while he finds it fun because he can treat it as a playground in some sort of way–eventually it gets boring. It's why he comes and goes in prime, he appears when he wants, does what he wants and then disappears.
It's interesting because I think a part of him keeps coming back because of Darkwing. (Just a heads up this is NOT negawing) Darkwing is really one of the only characters to put a stick in his wheels and get in the way of his plans, it's why Negaduck constantly has to think of new ways to approach St.Canard. Darkwing is a lot more important in his life than I think he likes to acknowledge.
I do not think Darkwing holds any attachment to Negaduck. He finds him as much of a hassle as he does any other villain in St.Canard. Additionally, I think he's removed himself from Negaduck completely. Darkwing knows they're not the same person (unless we're talking about the good looks they both claim to have). There's no special treatment with him.
When Gosalyn gets involved he obviously doesn't want her there and he'll tell her to go home, but it's nothing nearly as major as Taurus bulba. It gets to the point where Launchpad uses the Quiverwing Quack Episode to tell Darkwing that he's coddling Gosalyn too much. All that's to say, Darkwing doesn't care nearly as much as Nd.
Another thing I think is interesting is his constant attempts to kill Dw. He hates him, and I think a big part of that hate comes from the fact that Negaduck is a varient of Dw. They both have a need to be #1, and tbh I think the mere fact that Negaduck will never be an original, THE varient really annoys him, especially because the original goes against everything he stands for.
It's interesting how tunnel visioned he gets sometimes, how committed he is to offing the hero. Because of how much of a challenge Darkwing is for him, the greatest achievement of all would be to get rid of him entirely.
And he doesn't think that far ahead either because in the case that he does succeed, What then? He'll likely be as bored as he was in his own universe
It's interesting how negaduck relies on Darkwings whereas dw doesn't. There will ALWAYS be other bad guys, there won't be another darkwing.
