Whatever Happened to Daisy’s Temper?
Answer: It’s there, just repurposed.
Disney has always presented Daisy as the milder of the mad ducks, but her temper rivals, occasionally surpassing, Donald’s.
Usually, this temper is directed at Donald, as some sort of consequence beyond his control, for jokes.
However, instead of having Donald suffering the brunt of Daisy’s temper, Ducktales reworks it that while she has a temper, Daisy doesn’t direct it at anyone, preferring to lash out on inanimate objects when she’s able to.
Until…you hurt someone she cares for.
Gonna point out not even Della has gotten the red flare of doom. Granted, Donald’s anger literally consumes his head in red, but this is pretty notable, knowing Della’s temper is potentially close (if not equal) to Donald’s.
DuckTales keeps Daisy’s temper, one of her most defining traits, and reconstructs it into a force of protection, almost identical to Donald’s. Rather than have her direct her anger at Donald for something he did or did not do, the show redirects her rage at people who have harmed Donald, the man she’s irrefutably fallen for.
Daisy utilizes her rage to protect her loved ones, and that now includes Donald.
This is the moment he falls in love for her. Completely, absolutely in love with Daisy Duck.
I am looking extremely forward to Daisy’s future appearances in this show. I was already in love with Daisy, but I’m even more in love with Daisy. Deeper in love. Crazy in love.
