I'm betting they're gonna be the weakest part of the whole show.

>I'm betting they're gonna be the weakest part of the whole show.
They're often the weakest part of the comics too, so that shouldn't really come as a surprise.

>>93818948
How will they read it when it's been out of print for fucking ever?

>>93819086
Disney probably owns some copies of one of their most famous comics ever.

>>93819057
But with the few clips they've shown, it looks like the kids are the new protagonists with Scrooge as a side character, rather than the reverse. It looks like they want to make this Gravity Falls 2.0 by copying the Twins-and-Grunkle formula.

>>93819169
>Gravity Falls 2.0
Does that mean that Webby is going to be the worst thing to happen to the show?

>>93819169
Oh, I know that they'll be the focus point, I'm just saying that you shouldn't be surprised if the show is boring, or even bad, because the good characters are relegated to minor roles.
I hope I'm wrong though.

>>93819023
to be fair the personalities they've given the nephews seem to be pretty different then what they had in quack pack
they've pretty much swapped Huey and Dewy (making Huey smart and Dewy outgoing) and Louie has gone from being really into sports to seemingly being really into just chillin' i.e. taking a lot of naps and eating a lot of junkfood and shit.

>>93819169
I think Disney is just marketing it that way to get Gravity Falls fans on board. The actual intro to the show seems more Scrooge focused.

>>93819191
hard to say, but it'd be appropriate since she WAS the worst thing to happen to the original show until Bubba Duck

It'll be better than the old one but no one will admit it.

>>93819572
i don't even care about the old show, i liked the comics way better

>>93819086
Literally been reprinted last year by Fantagrahpics you fucking idiot.

>>93819023
YOU GUYS ARE THE FUCKING WORST. YOUR GODS ARE A LIE! FUCK YOU! FUCK /CO/ AND FUCK 4CHAN!

>>93819681
When all is said and done I think it will be
comics>new show>old show

>>93819326
It looks to me that we'll have both. Kids' episodes where they'll have to, who knows, maybe don't let their impatience get over them, while Scrooge ones will be about "once and adventurer, always an adventurer".

I'm really hyped for this show, but I think it will kinda fail the expectatives. I'm hoping for an 8/10, but we'll end up getting a 6-7/10. Still good, but not so good.

Never watched the old show. Never read the comics. What are the chances I'll enjoy this one?

>>93819191
Let's hope that she never goes full Mabel. In fact, let's hope that no character in any show goes full Mabel from now on

>tfw dd's adventures without uncle scrooge don't get enough love and probably won't be ever adapted in any shape or form

>>93819886
You like adventures for gold and treasure, kind of like Indiana Jones? With any luck, new show will be like that.

>>93819057
They're really good in the Barks stuff, they're classic foils for donald

>>93819169
>, it looks like the kids are the new protagonists with Scrooge as a side character
That is absolutely not what I saw at all

>>93819886
Do you like pure unbashed ADVENTURE with possible story arcs?

Then you'll be fine

I've asked this before but why do people seemingly always ignore the rest of Rosa's duck comics? I get it's really popular but nothing but life and times is ever brought up with rosa, his catalog isn't as big as barks i know but theres a ton of good shit in there. You can't even bring up t being oop because the don rosa library has been getting put out for like 2 years now

93820547

I'm not even going to give you a (You).

>>93820547
They're just as adventurous/"badass" as the male characters, you're just seeing them as "girl power shit" because you're so used to girl characters being the useless wining ninnies that ultimately drag the show down.

Fuck having characters that aren't up for adventure in a cartoon taking its cues from classic Scrooge adventures.

>>93820566
Because most american Duck fans only care about "muh feels" and "muh entrepeneurship", so stories in which Scrooge is not dicksucked or even *gasp* mocked fly right past their heads.
Same reason there are still people in the year of our Lord 2017 that think Don Rosa is better than Carl Barks. I've seen them in this very board and to this day I cannot wrap my head around it.

>>93820566
A Matter of Some Gravity will always be my favourite. It was just a fucking blast to read as a kid, the shifting perspective as the gravity changes was fun and the problem-solving was great. In an odd way it kicked off me appreciating the architecture of rooms.

>>93820854
>>93820779
>Waaaah waaah why aren't they pandering to ME! WAAAH

>>93820849
I always preferred Don Rosa because of the art-style of his stories. Even before I learnt how to recognise the name of artists/authors I learned to know that when I saw that art I'd be in for a good adventure without any halfbaked or done-a-million-times story. The number of times I had to read about Donald and Gladstone having a contest in luck or bad luck with art that looked like they'd traced other Donald Duck comics...

>>93821135
Funny thing is Don Rosa didn't even have any training to become an artist.

>>93820779

well, they know who has all the money.

>>93821264
Shit, really? Then how the fuck did he manage to make all his ducks look so on point all the damn time? So many other duck artists just couldn't get the hang of the shape of them so they'd vary in quality, and they couldn't move out of using the same two angles or the beak perspective would be all kinds of fucked up. And that's not getting into the backgrounds that could just be a monotone colour with some of them.

>>93821383
He has a background in architecture and technical drawing is why

And a huge boner for Carl Barks

>>93821383
Background from underground comix, and started by pretty much literally tracing Barks (read his first stories, pretty noticeable) until he got used to the characters.

why is donald the only one that sounds like a duck

>>93821709

how do ducks sound, anyway?

>>93821861
Like Donald.

>>93821383
His first story, Son of the Sun, was made by literally tracing the characters from older Barks stories. And yet the writing was so damn captivating that I never noticed until it was pointed out to me.

Dude should create his own series if he doesn't want to write Duck comics anymore. His writing style in general is very impressive.

>>93819169
They've said that the main plot of the season is finding out why Scrooge and Donald had a falling out.

>>93822056
He has some underground comics that fantagraphics had put out long ago, I'm pretty sure as of now he simply can't draw anymore because of health issues which is a shame since even barks was doing duck paintings and illustrations in his twilight years

>>93822125
He can always just write stories and have another person illustrate them. Hasn't he always hated his own artwork anyway?

>>93822056
>>93822125
>>93822263

He's also stated he really just doesn't want other stuff. His previous comics were basically Scrooge McDuck comics in disguise, and now that he's stopped at first due to his disgust at Disney and later due to health, he's stated he just doesn't care to make more stories. When people ask "why not make your own characters again?" he just says "because I never wanted to be a comic book author, I wanted to make Scrooge McDuck comics".

>>93818948
Which of them going to get the girl?

>>93821946
Yet he is the freak with throat defect in his universe

>>93822289
Well if he personally has no interest in creating a new series, then that's his choice. It's just a shame because he has so much talent that isn't being utilized. He has the recognition to start an indie series or go back to Disney anytime he wanted to.

>>93822452
>He has the recognition to start an indie series or go back to Disney anytime he wanted to.
Sure. Thing is, again. He doesn't care to start a new series, and he actively doesn't want to go back to Disney. They'd probably love him back (or rather, Egmont would- Disney doesn't do Disney comics), but he refuses to after feeling slighted in his rights with reprints.

There's also at this point, as said, the question of his health. He had one eyelid pretty much almost literally fall off his face. He can't draw much at all nowadays without having to put the paper right to his face and closing one eye. He could write for others, sure, but while he doesn't like his art much, he's also very possessive of his stories- much in the same way he's rarely drawn others' scripts, he doesn't want others to draw his. His only exception would be Marco Rota, whom he's mentioned if he had to collaborate with someone, Rota'd be his choice.

>>93822452
Disney fucked him over a lot when it came to paying him for reprints and collections of his work, it's why this current Don Rosa Library is so big because he's directly involved

>>93822289
That's why I can never really take Rosa seriously-for all his skill and talent, he's way too much of a fanboy. Barks never took the characters as sacred as Rosa did and it shows on the creative flight of the comics themselves.
At the end of the day Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is just well-polished fanfiction, and it reads like it, down to the "oh man look how much of a badass Scrooge is" moments.

>>93820566
>I get it's really popular but nothing but life and times is ever brought up with rosa

It is pretty fucking popular, as in popular enough that there is a fucking concept album based around it.

>>93818948
Will it be Keno?

>>93818948
As long as the girl duck isn't annoying in this iteration I'll be happy.

>>93821861
You've never heard a fucking Duck before?

This whole show looks a lot like the William Van Horn DuckTales stuff which was always pretty underrated

>>93820779
This is a prime example of what nobody gives a fuck about.

>>93820566
There's actually one story that I will recommend if anyone's interested. It's the one called "Guardians of the Lost Library". Find it somewhere either online or as a physical copy.

You will not regret it.

>>93819169
>It looks like they want to make this Gravity Falls 2.0 by copying the Twins-and-Grunkle formula.

I'd much rather it be Venture Brothers with Brock Beakley.

>You, uh, you sure you know how to fly one a these, Ms. B?
>THEY. HIT. ME. WITH. A. TRUCK.

>>93819191
It means that the ending will be rushed.

>tfw never read the comics
Is there an archive online where I can view them? Because I'm sure to buy them from eBay or some shit would be way too expensive.

>>93827404
You can read tons of random issues on readcomiconline. You can use the Inducks index to choose stories based on authors, characters, etc, then see what US issue it was published in, and see if readcomiconline has scans of it.

>>93827404
Fantagraphics puts out two or three big hardcover volumes of Barks and Rosa Duck comics every year, they're $20 a pop and worth every fucking penny.

But you can just do this>>93827461, that's the first place I read Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

Seems impossible for him not to at some point. Maybe not the first season but I doubt the writers will ignore his plot potential.

Kinda sad, since it was the only time he had some competences (due to all the sports exhibitions he did)
I hope he makes it, even as an extra.

yeah but they are depicted in a positive light, which makes it rather a jab than a racist caricature
There is a reason why Speedy Gonzales is incredibly popular in Mexico.

Gravity Falls is not an odd angle. A bunch of kids, a stingy old uncle and a more adventurous uncle.

They have adult voices and they're going on adventures.

>>93819086
Most of it has been reprinted as the Don Rosa Library Collection, in volumes 4 and 5.

Most, because it's being done in printing order, and Prisoner of White Agony Creek wasn't written until about 25 years after the rest of it.
