I am literally dying to see a movie like this and I still wonder why the hell Disney has never made a big budget animation movie on Scrooge.

That was a pretty funny typo. Also, does anyone like the Carl Barks Donald, and Scrooge stories from way back when? Also, is anyone from this thread from the Nordics?

The visual novel is pretty fucking fantastic, one of my favorite things in fiction.
However seeing that it's a fucking mouse they'd make it terrible.

Ultiamtely the only chance is if it was a passion project for some very rich person.

Even with the embedded values of self-reliance, experience(s) and hard work and the positive overall theme of money = memories, it's still a story about a literally white old rich dude. That would not compute for contemporary producers.

This is a frequent topic on /tv/. Not that I mind, of course, since Scrooge is pretty much the single greatest character in all of fiction.

But no, I would not like them to make a movie about Scrooge. He is too good for contemporary comic book adaptations. There is no way in hell that it could do the source material justice. Firstly, his story is too epic and grand for a two-hour movie. Secondly, there what this guy >>87139443 said. The Scrooge we all know and love is simply unpalatable to modern producers, maybe even modern audiences. He's an unapologetically masculine INTJ, and normies don't like unapologetically masculine INTJ's.

These two chapters really show the arc of Scrooge's character.

I loved those comic books. They were just the greatest thing. Donald Duck comics was what I read when I was a kid. Didn't really get into superhero comics. It might be a European thing. Besides Don Rosa and Barks, I also enjoyed Marco Rota comics. It must be fifteen years since I read it, but I vaguely remember one of his stories which was about a Saracen town facing a tsunami.

Ok what comics constantly feature the Beagle Boys then because I remember reading a lot of those

The best way for it to be made is with the current Ducktales series.
Every few episodes, he sits to kids down and tells them one of the stories of his youth.
String them all together after a few seasons and you'll have Life & Times: The Animation.

>>87141480
The series also tells the history of the Beagle Boys.

>>87141480
A lot of Scrooge's comics have them, it's just that this specific one doesn't feature them that much. They're still there, but his biggest nemezis is time and ambition.

>>87141537
That would be great and I don't even mind the new art direction though it would be fantastic if they made animation out of Don Rosa's highly detailed drawings. I mean, that would be plain gorgeous.

Never think about the family relations in Duckburg, or you will lose your mind.

>>87141480
Life & Times does have a three stories with the Beagle Boys.
How Scrooge met and fought off their father, how they came back when he claimed his land in Duckburg and fought off Teddy Roosevelt and the a cavalry, and how Scrooge, Donald, and the boys met for the first time at Christmas and drove them off once more, igniting the flame in Scrooge's heart again.

The new DuckTales cartoon doesn't seem to make him a nu-male.

There's no way in hell you can neuter Scrooge McDuck. He's the rags-to-riches story pursuing the American Dream. Scrooge earned his wealth through work and persistence. And he usually did it square.

The original 80's cartoon taught me the most important lesson in life: Work SMARTER not harder.

It's pretty good, honestly. The humor is spot on and David Tennant is perfect as Scrooge. I also like how they try to give each of the nephews an independent character instead of hivemind triplets we had so far.

>>87141668
Two episodes for a single hour long episode, and it's pretty good.
You'll be able to tell apart Huey, Dewey, and Louie quickly, even if they sound a little older than they should.
Webby's not as annoying, and sometimes endearing now.
They've got Donald good, and he'll go into a berserker rage often enough.
And Launchpad is back, and Darkwing is confirmed.

How would the chronology from TLaT would work if the new show is set in modern times and Scrooge isn't fucking 150 years old though?

>>87141898
Not that far, "The Richest Duck in the World" starts off like Citizen Kane, and the entire title is an Homage to The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean, going so far as to feature him in "Prisoner of White Agony Creek".

You know how /tv/ likes to meme about The Founder movie? Roy Kroc partially succeeded because he had persistence; just like that self-help recording in the movie. Business is cutthroat and it's dog eat dog.

It's admirable that Scrooge made his fortune fair and square, but guys like him are outliers in the business world.

Granted, because of that, barks has amassed a big pile of garbage, but the top 25% transcend disney comics.

Start buying those small books with factory-made (literally) Italian comics (you should have some equivalent in your country) and read them for context. Then download all Rosa works and read them in order. Don't try to read all Barks' library because it's too much and you'll get confused. Only few of them are essential and only few Rosa's comics are direct sequels to Barks' stories.

Originally Donald Duck was the main star and Scrooge was one of the supporting characters in his "mythos" whose gimmick was that he was greedy.
What made him the central character? Why him?

>>87145930
Scrooge is more nuanced and interesting, simple as that

>>87145930
Donald Duck became less interesting than his uncle and Don Rosa added way more depth to his character.

>>87146071
Well he is a good role model.

>>87145930
Donald is still the main character in most of the stories. But different stories want to explore different characters, and Scrooge has a lot of room for interesting backstories which is why he stars in a lot of adventure stories.
