The logic that Webby dreaming about being Scrooge, someone we already knew she admired and wanted to be like, is good foreshadowing for the twist is just so flawed? By that logic, I must be a witch because of how often I've dreamed of that.
LOL Right? Children (or anyone, really) dreaming about being like their heroes is the most common thing, be it daydreaming or literally dreaming.
And about this "foreshadowing" specifically, it's very interesting because it could have worked and made sense, if they had developed it more and added an old idea of Webby having an old FOWL's programation. My friends nor I were able to find this information for me to know it clearly and to link here, but it seems like they wanted Webby to unconciously know what she was and what her mission was: to destroy/kill Scrooge.
If they had depicted that in the dream sequence somehow, okay, I'd buy it as foreshadowing. But just as it was, with Webby only dreaming that she was sort of Scrooge, it doesn't work as a proper foreshadowing, not with how much we know she admires and studies Scrooge's life since episode one.
"Oh, she dreams about being him because she's his clone/daughter" - not because he's her hero and she admires him, sometimes to an unhealthy degree (collecting his saliva, hello?).
"Oh she poses exactly like his statue because she's his clone/daughter" - not because she grew up confined in that house for 10 years and knows every little corner of it.
And don't let me start with Confident Casefiles.
