- What if Launchpad was... smarter? Turns out, he'd accidentally cross over three classic Disney Afternoon Shows.

I think “Lazer Team” gave the best explanation for why Smart Launchpad had an accent. I’m paraphrasing-
‘Launchpad is a stupid person, and that’s what stupid people think smart people sound like.’
god the sacrifice scene was actually heartbreaking and heartwarming for some reason, plus in the version Dewey sings, Ben Schwartz has a surprisingly good singing voice
For some reason Webby calling Scrooge "Uncle Scrooge" in this episode makes me so happy
Wow, this aged well
Webby and Scrooge bonding always makes me happy. 😊
Like how Webby was absolutely on board with hating Santa, while never questioning Scrooge why he does.
And don't forget. Webby knew that the ball pit was a trap from the get-go.
Now that’s foreshadowing
She _knows_
so Her grandma probably told her that but the moment she said it to the others they probably just thought it was a joke.
7:32 Which Webby jokingly called out in Season One. "It's a trap!"
8:02 That's actually weird/surprising considering they also established that Scrooge LOVES Game Night and is just as competitive playing board games as he is going on adventures. These types of games really shouldn't be any different and it proves so in the episode. I just found it weird Scrooge wasn't initially into it or Webby didn't realize how obsessed he would get when he did get into it, despite her knowing about Game Night.
12:37 I pray to the GODS this film never happens.
20:16 What's interesting about this scene though is that when they electrocute Steelbeak, you can see his skull is fractured. It's possible he wasn't always dumb, but suffered head trauma in his past. I wonder if this will be explained in a future flashback?
Well the game they were referring to was an adventure game that wasn't really competitive. It's more that Scrooge doesn't see the need for artificial adventures when, given who he is, he has access to real adventures that challenge him. Escapism isn't something he needs.
That's actually a good point about Steelbeak. I just brushed it off as comedy. It's entirely plausible that he was in some sort of accident, potentially even the reason he has his namesake Steel Beak. Black heron mentioned that she broke him out of a St. Canard prison, but i don't think they said why he was in there. I can easily see him causing some sort of crime and being in an accident, then Black Heron was sent to recruit him. He agreed, and F.O.W.L gave him surgery that replaced his beak. That was a potentially important detail, great eye!
I actually think the movie could work
Oh please, even Drake Mallard a.k.a. Darkwing Duck showed a fractured skull back when Jim Starling electrocuted him in Season 2
Best to not just overthink it
Also, I heard from somewhere that this version of Steelbeak is younger than the classic one, so it could be that he's still immature about how things go and that's why we all see him as dumb
@@blazingdragonwolf6771 didn’t he get his face shoved into that lunchbox
I think what I like about the Ducktales reboot is that it’s not just a reboot of the original show, but also an adaptation of the Duck comics, Mickey and friends franchise, and Disney afternoon.
Joshua Pyun what a guru you are
At this point, it's like they are building the DACU (Disney Afternoon Cartoon Universe) and succeeding at it unlike Scoob!
Ren Cen you know what would be wonderful? if after this show they make a mickey mouse show connected with the ducktales universe and inspired by the comics in which mickey is a detective, and maybe with oswald the lucky rabbit in it.
@@Renkencen but at least the HBCU has access to everyone from the go instead of having to jump through insane hoops just to have something close to the actual character pop in for a minute or two.
Joshua Pyun I love your comment!
I kinda like the whole "Batman Year One" angle they have going on with Darkwing Duck and Steelbeak. Steelbeak is essentially a rookie agent in FOWL and hasn't quite grown into his criminal mastermind/Chief Agent status just yet. The same way Drake Mallard is just starting his superhero career as Darkwing Duck, and hasn't quite gained the fame/reputation as a crimefighter just yet. I'm hoping to see them both grow into their respective roles by the end of the season. Or at least by the time a genuine Darkwing Duck spin-off is ready.
Welp, the fans got robbed, Covid-19 killed the Disney animation Reboot fever, and now we'll have to wait for Disney to catch it again.
It was cool to see the Chip and Dale Rescue rangers cameo.
Nathaniel Foga I felt the same. I was internally shrieking with joy over this cameo.
I love how they used the actual music from the show
the old guest stuff is always the best part
You ever realize that the main villains have similar personality traits for the main triplet of that season? Magica was impulsive, the second she gets out of the dime, she takes over Duckburg, not even trying to make a plan. Lunaris was conniving. He had every aspect of the invasion planned out for years, and adjusted accordingly. He knew what everyone would do before they even knew he existed. And his foil was surprises. That Glomgold helped stop him, that Mitsy showed up with the kids, that Penumbra showed up at the last minute to stop him, all without any warning. Now Huey is the main triplet and in this episode, we saw Bradford solve a rubix cube in less than a minute. I figure at some point, it'll reveal him and the other FOWL High Command to have been Junior Woodchucks at one point or another.
YOU KNEW!
@@octodaddy877 I CALLED IT!
@@therealwilldalbey
I see you are smarter than the smarties.
Three Disney shows in one. Now that’s fan devotion
Let's not forget Goof troop in the quack pack episode.
Can I just acknowledge that because Black Heron created the Rescue Rangers, she pretty much doomed her whole plan?
🤣I guess
Well technically it’s steelbeaks fault for bringing them to the prison in the first place
I'm on a similar wave length with you about how the ray affected Launchpad. My headcanon is that it didn't make him smarter, but improved his memory. With all the adventures he's had with Scrooge McDuck, the wealth of knowledge he must have in hos head should be amazing. The ray didn't add to that knowledge (which would be him getting smarter) but instead unlocked what he already knew, allowing him to fully act on it. The ending I think conforms this, as when he goes back to 'normal', he can't remember the FOWL plot, even though part of his brain still has that knowledge, and tries to get it out to Scrooge. If he had been made dumber, he would have lost the knowledge altogether. He didn't, he just lost the ability to access it.
I think this is pretty much the best "intelliray" episode I've seen in television, exactly because it's so straightforward in how it handles intelligence. There's no twist: He wasn't smart all along, and being smart didn't make him into an asshole or someone arrogant or unwise. Intelligence is a real thing (even if it's more complex than a single measure like IQ), less intelligent people exist (it's not just about confidence or distractions), and it can be hard sometimes. Yet it's not all that matters: Launchpad is good enough as he is and whatever *other* strengths he has allow him to "survive being that stupid" as he puts it. He's kind and has a generally good attitude, and he almost initially beat up Steelbeak by muscle alone.
Agreed. Telling children that their... shortcomings isn't the word I want but we'll go with it... are not real (pretending that some people aren't dumb or ugly or whathaveyou) and that they should expect the same results as people who don't have them is just damaging. Should you be treated badly because you're dumb or ugly: No. Should you expect to become the next Bill Gates/James Bond: also No. Are you capable of doing something unique or difficult, like becoming a pilot: Yes. Children won't get to grow up to be anything they want; that isn't how the world works, and not just because some kids want to be the plane instead of the pilot. A kid with severe dyslexia shouldn't be encouraged to become an author, maybe should be encouraged not to go to college (especially since it's such a racket). You can become a millionaire working at McDonalds, you're results aren't necessarily limited just because you're options aren't as wide open as someone else's. The best thing about this show is that Launchpad is mostly incompetent, but they still treat him well, because he's a good person. At the same time, Glomgold, who is also incompetent, is treated hostilely because he's a Bad Person.
@@adde9506 His dumbness *is* played for laughs 99% of the time, though, just like Glomgold's.
I love the Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers theme playing in the background when the Rescue Rangers appear.
I noticed that too, but honestly, I was replaying the "Underpants Gnomes" song from SOUTH PARK while they were scurrying around Lunchpad's cell.
I tried singing along
You know, Chip and Dale showing up was pretty much only a matter of time anyway if you consider how often the duo were playing opposite Donald in the old cartoons
I loved this episode. Like, I really, really loved it. The jokes were (once again) on point, the plot with FOWL and Steelbeak was great, and, of course, Smart Launchpad and the Rescue Ranger's cameos! The idea that Launchpad was the first person to discover FOWL's return, yet was unable to successfully warn Scrooge because his intelligence, represented through the Smart Launchpad persona, is trapped within regular Launchpad's more... simple mind is really intriguing. I kinda hope we see Launchpad's intelligence return somehow, because having Launchpad of all characters being a major player in the FOWL story-line would be REALLY fun. The fact that Smart Launchpad seemingly already knew about FOWL is curious, though - is this merely an effect of the Third Eye Diamond's ray, or was FOWL still a present threat after Della got sent into space, thus meaning that Launchpad has seen FOWL in action at some point? It would explain why the only character Scrooge allowed on his trip to save Agent 27 (not counting Webby, who was a stowaway) - for the longest time I'd just marked that up to Launchpad being Scrooge's chauffeur, but now I'm thinking it's because Launchpad already knew about FOWL and the dangers it brings. After all, if it was such a private mission that Scrooge didn't even bother fishing Donald out of the pantry as back-up, why did he allow LAUNCHPAD of all people to pilot the submarine? Surely Donald (a sailor) or even Scrooge himself would be better off piloting the sub on such an important mission?
Steelbeak in this reboot is a treat. He's the perfect counterpart to Launchpad, having the same level intellect but a more sinister personality setting them against each other. Whilst I do prefer his more cunning Darkwing Duck counterpart, and was honestly expecting to see this version of Steelbeak to use the intelli-ray on himself to make him more like his original counterpart, the idea that this Steelbeak is more of a beginner at the evil game, serving as the Muscle for other FOWL members (such as Black Heron) is still interesting enough for me to want to see THIS Steelbeak get developed more. The idea that he wants to be an equal to members such as Heron and can create schemes that are genuinely (almost cartoonishly) evil proves that he is still a threat, and I can see him being used by The High Command to create distractions for Scrooge and Co if they get too close to uncovering FOWL's plot.
The Rescue Rangers were implemented really well in this episode as well. They were only in it for a few scenes, but served as a perfect example for how the Intelli-Ray works, and their new origin also explains why the Rescue Rangers are more realistic rodents rather than large, anthropomorphic ones (which presumably inhabit Mouseton). The scene near the end where they contribute towards Launchpad's defeat was pure joy, serving not only as well-done fanservice for fans of the Rescue Rangers, but also as a way to set up the idea that the RR exist in this world helping to solve crimes, just in case the DuckTales team are ever allowed to use them again. Personally I hope that the RR end up camping out in Donald's houseboat, purely so we can see moments of Donald vs Chip and Dale, akin to the classic shorts.
The episode's end was also fantastic. Launchpad sacrificing his intelligence (or his confidence, I also like that idea) to help save Dewey and Duckburg helps to show just how good and selfless a character Launchpad is, which is something I'd love to see expanded upon when he teams up with Darkwing in later episodes. The fact that he was SO CLOSE to revealing FOWL's return to Scrooge but simply lost his train of thought and forgot was infuriating in the best possible way - I wonder if this is the only time such a thing will happen this season, or if we'll see Scrooge come close to learning the truth only for something to prevent that more often, as a way to showcase just how important this secrecy is for FOWL? Speaking of FOWL, I'm glad the end states nice and cleanly that FOWL won't be the same style villain as Lunaris or even Magica DeSpell - whilst these two definitely involved a lot of secrecy in their plans, all that went out of the window the moment they got the upper hand, which served as a key player in their downfall - had Magica NOT driven a swirling vortex of pure evil through Duckburg and destroyed the Money Bin, it's likely that the Duck family would never have discovered her return and Scrooge would've been trapped in the dime forever, and if Lunaris hadn't had advertised every bit of his plan as soon as Scrooge seemed defeated it's likely that Glomgold wouldn't have been able to out-stupid it - or, at least not in time. In contrast, it seems that FOWL is going to remain in the shadows until Scrooge and Co uncover them themselves (which will likely only happen after everything has been stolen under Scrooge's... nose? Beak?), whist members such as Steelbeak (and maybe the Phantom Blot) can still provide obvious threats to distract Scrooge, not disclosing the fact they're part of a greater organisation at the time. Providing Scrooge with another intellectual threat, that will likely not be countered with another plan from Glomgold, means that Scrooge will fully be able to prove why he's the Smartest of the Smarties whilst also managing to find a way to tie in the Treasure-Hunting adventures to the greater plot through Finch's journal and FOWL's larceny and I am all for that.
I agree 100% about Steelbeak being the perfect antagonist for Launchpad. I have my own theory about season 3, and how i think F.O.W.L is planning on taking out the duck family. Belive it or not, it's my theory that they're using a strategy similar to one of Glomgold's past schemes. If you recall, in "Glom-Tales!" Glomgold tries to find a perfect match for each individual duck. His biggest fault, as far as i can tell, is that he based it on the roles each character usually played. For example, he recruited Don Carnage because he thought the best advirsary for launch pad was another pilot. It wasn't the plan, but the way he executed it. The best opponents aren't based on physical abilities, but rather what they represent. Steelbeak acts as a sort of dark relection to launchpad, and in my opinion, That's what makes for the best villains. If Glomgold had gone the route of the dark reflection, he might've actually succeeded. And it's my theory that the Dark reflection is exactly what F.O.W.L has in mind. I think the line-up should be something like:
Steelbeak vs Launchpad
Gandra Dee vs Fenton
Black Heron vs Beakly
Gyro vs the guy from Astro B.O.Y.D (forgot his name, oops)
Taurus Bulba vs Darkwing Duck (he's not in the show just yet, but he'll likely be introduced in the big Hour Long DW spotlight episode. We're also getting Gosalyn from that, so that's a nice bonus. Although, Jim Starling/Nega-Duck could also be the perfect enemy for him if we see him again.)
Fowl is a force to fear, and when the time comes to face them, it'll be one heck of a fight.
This is one of my current favorite episodes from season three so far! LP and Dewey are my favorite characters and I love their friendship.
I love their friendship too.
now if only Disney plus would update the ducktales seasons on it's site ;-;
Or put the episodes in the right order.
Yeah :(
Tyrant-Den EXACTLY
Dale: Hey chip, what are we going to do night?
Chip: It doesn’t matter it’s the same thing we do regardless of Day or Night. We will rescue people!
Ben Schwartz has a lovely singing voice.
I don't think the Raygun made Launchpad smarter, clearer or more confident, it almost made it seem like he had a subconscious of all 3 that were released like a dual identity and it took over. After he returned to being.... Launchpad, his subconscious was screaming at him to warn Scrooge that FOWL was back but he ignored it or didn't hear it.
I can't wait to see TaleSpin crossover, especially Don Karnage, and Peny
Scrooge: "That's the head of the Cape Suzette billionaire's club-"
The lead FOWL vulture: "The greatest criminal mastermind who refuses to join our ranks-"
Both: "-Shere Khan!"
We've already seen don carnage
don was the only old thing they brought back that sucked because he sounded wrong
@@tyrant-den884 Wouldn't it be neat if Shere Khan was Scrooge's protege? Kind of like what Scrooge tried to do with Glomgold, but actually successful.
@@the_great_rasputin9022 but then he used Scrooge's teachings, for EEEEEEVIL!
"And that's why he's one of my most reliable business partners."
"But he's evil!!"
"Ach, anyone who is successful in business is a least a little evil, just look and Llewy. What matters is that he is very principled evil."
Hey there @Seaniccus, DubbleDuck is a spin off comic with Donaldduck acting as a spy/agent in this alternate universe type deal here in the Netherlands, I know the comics are made elsewhere in Europe but The duck comics are SUPER popular here so we get all the extra lore and other spin off comics featuring the Ducks and other things we have a weekly donald comic running here for quite a few decades and that's no joke! It's really fun to see callbacks and lore that's actually been developed before it's been made into the new Ducktales show Like Della Duck for instance. And A lot of other minor characters that are pretty much staples in the duck comics here.
DubbleDuck is an awesome cartoon! and i loove reading those stories! Like all Donald related spin off stories!
CnDRR was my favorite of the Disney Afternoon shows so the whole bit with them was my favorite part of the episode.
News of a live-action movie on the other hand... *Internal screaming.*
Guess Webby was right about the ball pit being a trap.
The little details like scrooge gesturing to himself after deweys question just make me so _happy_ heehee
You voice so clear and calm. It's very easily understand for not native speakers
I fanboyed so much when the rescue rangers appeared!
I hope we get a full Rescue Rangers episode someday, maybe in season 4.
They need an episode where Gyro's shrink ray makes them Rescue Ranger sized so they can go on an adventure with them.
@@NihilusShadow that would be great
Yeah maybe in season 4…🥲
this was my favorite episode in the season so far! I’ve watched it multiple times and even made a video about it (technically about steelbeak and why people need to give the new one a chance) but jgkakgksjfj this episode was so good!!!
He is supposed to get more smart and dangerous
When launchpad took that laser point blank, I gained so much respect for him 😊
I was really glad to finally see what Frank and co. had in mind when they announced their own take on the original show's 'Double-O Duck' episode. As per usual with this show, it was entertaining, creative, and gave more insight on the characters. Launchpad was delightful with his suave agent persona, and Scrooge going insane with the Skee-Ball set was amusing. I wonder how FOWL will actually steal the world.
Admittedly though, I was conflicted with how they made Steelbeak less intelligent than his portrayal in DWD; but at least he still pulled off some impressive moves, like when he got the upper hand on Black Heron and snatched her Intelli-ray, and when he fought against Launchpad. Plus, they briefly showed that he has a crack in his skull, which may imply that he used to be smarter than he is now. With that aside, his new voice actor did a great job in his performance, and I love that he did his own take on Steelbeak's chuckle. Also, I can't fully explain why, but I just love how huge his metal beak is.
And of course, I was excited when they brought in the Rescue Rangers. Next to how they handled Darkwing Duck, this has to be favorite take on a classic Disney Afternoon series. It was very creative making them lab animals with enhanced intelligence, and I loved it whenever they played that show's instrumental theme music. As for that live-action movie Disney's been planning, I really hope they won't go through with it. Besides, didn't Disney already make a similar movie years ago (G-Force), and that didn't do well?
I think they were doing sort of like a Batman Year One thing were the hero and villains aren’t who we know them as yet, since steelbeak got smarter using the ray in the series finale and there’s a dark wing duck reboot, he could be the chief of what remains of fowl like he was in the OG Darkwing.
The situation of the Rescue Rangers kinda reminds of two Spiderman villains: Electro & Sandman, who were banned to appear in the 1994 animated series because of the movie adaptation by James Cameron that was in production at the time. But when it was official cancelled, the former appeared in the final season, but with a different origin and identity.
Yay! This one one of my favorite season 3 episodes so far!
The neat thing we learn in this episode is that despite Launchpad being smarter, he didn't really change his motives and action cause deep down he wants to protect what he call his family.
You make some good points about how this episode explains how The Rescue Rangers became intelligent. In the original, and in most Disney cartoons, you just accepted that talking animals existed in the human world with no logical explanation. Also, in the classic Donald Duck cartoons, Chip & Dale would just squabble. Barely making any coherent sentences. Eventually, they would speak more words, but you just accepted that they could talk with no explanation. Also, I'm kinda glad to see The Rescue Rangers in this episode instead of that 'live action' movie that was gonna be made, but could still happen sadly.
I'd argue that the glasses Launchpad wears makes him look like one of the King's Men.
this is my favorite episode
I like it when dewey call Lauchpad his best friend.
I assume the Ducktales writers are differentiating between knowledgeable and intelligent. The ray didn't send information into Launchpad's head, he knew all the things he knew before. But it increased his ability to process information, deduce conclusions from this information, and, as a result of understanding the world better, became more confident in whether or not he was right.
I was seriously nerding out when I saw the introduction of the Rescue Rangers!
13:39 good for them. It's was a fun cameo and it was cool seeing the rangers. Also, I have zero faith in Disney's live action projects.
Man... The last time I was this early, Launchpad was still a spy...
Scrooge’s “have you MET me?!” gesture in silent response to Duey’s question is hilarious!
Also, Jason Matszoukas(?), the VO actor they got for Steelbeak is a hilarious comedian, and while I will always enjoy and appreciate the work of the original, I’m very happy w/this casting. He did a great job.
Yeah DT 17 had a very good track record when it came to recasting old characters imo
9:52 I did the math.
At a quarter a game, and 5 balls a game, if he only won at average one ticket a game. (not factoring in anytime he won a jackpot or didn’t win anything at all.) he spent at minimum.
150,000 dollars!
His reaction is completely justified.
I can't wait for The Phantom Blot's focus episode
Legit, that wait is killing me. I honestly can't wait for an episode involving him so much that I've kinda been disregarding the rest of the season, even though it's a really good season... I'm kinda a huge Phantom Blot fan.
I hope they make a reference to his epic mickey appearance
Maverick darkrath he’s not in Epic mickey
@@gracekim25 Weeeeellllll, the main villain of the game, The Shadow Blot, is indeed a version of the Blot, however, he is a very different version from the one we've usually seen.
Fun fact: they originally were gonna put the original Phantom Blot in the game as well, but because people would get the names confused, they decided just to keep The Shadow Blot in.
After I read Double - o - Duck in the title, I screamed because there is actually a spin off/alternative universe comics of Donald being a super agent who has the code name Agent DD or Double Duck.
This episode could also tie into why Webby had a hard time with the ball pit in the first season also.
Huge plot hole, though: How did Scrooge come pick them up without his chauffeur?
I think Scrooge can drive he just doesn't want to
And the first episode of the original DuckTales, Scrooge picked up the kids at the dock by taking a cab (have you paid for with cheese he got as a free sample)....
And then made them walk home to save money. He's more of a chaperone escort when he picks people up.
For the new series though, it's completely plausible that he went to pick up Dewey and Webby with LaunchPad and then Dewey convinced Launchpad to play a game after he arrived
@@sofig1237 I think he absolutely can. Didn't we clearly see him drive the jeep in that Ducktales 360° adventure video? Yeah, he just wants to let Launchpad drive for him most of the time for some reason.
That bit about launch pad reminds me of that old episode of the Simpsons where Homer had a crayon removed from his brain.
I love that Steelbeak has Adrian Pimento as his voice actor
I had to Google that up, but since there’s nothing too important mentioned, I’ll just stick to my first thought: ”Pimento, rofl.”
It's very fitting that steelbeak was the villain for the episode, as it sorta makes it a reference to the james bond villain Jaws
First of all, the way that you are doing your videos now works excellent; your thoughts have always been great and cohesive, and it works very well quite clearly without a script. So keep up the great work!
Everybody is certainly entitled to their opinion. Personally, this is one of my favorite episodes not only of the season so far, but of the entire series as well. Launchpad truly sacrificing himself is among the most beautiful and tender moments of the series, and he and his friendship with Dewey is among the best parts of it as well. Scrooge and Webby have an amazing side story, the spy plot is engaging and ups the stakes, and finally, Steelbeek maybe one of my favorite Disney villains now.
I have the feeling that the Rescue Rangers cameo would have hit harder had they not spoiled the crap out of it at last year's ComicCon reveal. You know, like how we weren't expecting Mickey Coconut in the season 2 finale. But they showed the Rescue Ranger concept art, and now we were expecting them to show up, and out fan-fic-y little minds were thinking of ways they'd be used.
The first time I saw this episode, I was on the fence about how Steelbeak wasn't the suave, arrogant jerk he was in Darkwing Duck, but I felt that this series is the rise of Darkwing Duck characters. So Steelbeak was an arrogant jerk, the smoothness comes later. But the thing that sold it was the "Don't call me stupid" bit. There's PAIN in his delivery a couple times that elevates the tone from the obvious "Why you call Grimlock stupid? Grimlock not stupid," to the more implied "I've been called stupid my entire life, and no one took me seriously. Years of rejection twisted me, and now you're going to pay for it." Also, it's the same guy that does the voice of the weird magician kid from Big Mouth, right? I can never get his last name correct. Jason something? Sounded like him, but I didn't realize that until the second watch through. I saw it live, so the end credits were microscopic.
I think this is my favorite episode of the Ducktales reboot so far. Loved the stories and the Rangers cameos and didn’t think it was too much for one episode. I thought LP’s sacrifice at the end was very touching.
10:41 my favorite FOWL agent is asking the real questions.
I know that a lot of fans are divided over the new SB but I love the new direction they are taking the character because we are seeing a younger more naive SB trying to rise the ranks of FOWL. Which makes sense because LP and DW are a lot younger in this reboot. Darkwing just became a hero recently while the OG was a hero a couple of years before Gosalyn.
Webby threatening the ticket cashier was my favorite joke in this episode.
This review low key made me emotional about this episode what 😭😭😭 I need to know Launchpads story I swear
Really loved this episode, especially the Rescue Rangers cameos, bringing this DuckTales reboot one step closer to a Marvel-esque "Disney Afternoons Shared Universe". We have officially had Gummy Bears, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers, & Talespin... Now we just need Bonkers..lol.
Yes!!! I've been waiting for another review.
I am absolutely convinced that this episode is a reference to Kingsman, especially from the glasses (basically Kingsman Glasses), and don't forget the tailored suits.
When I heard the Rescue rangers was make a cameo i was so happy. Chip and Dale Rescue rangers is my favorite Disney Afternoon show.
I love your Ducktales videos! They're so well-researched and engaging. Always happy to when you upload a video.
I can't wait anymore when will you review the lost harp of mervana it's been 2 months since you reviewed double o duck in you only crash twice
THIS IS A GOOD REVIEW, *BRILLIANT* JOB SEANICCUS!😆😉
Love the fact that you are so into Duck Tales. And loved the Double-O-Duck episode! I have been a fan of Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers (and a few others) since the beginning! Can you please use your influence and good vibes to convince them to remake Rescue Rangers. I think it would be epic!
You know they originally had the idea of a show called Double-O Duck with Launchpad being the main character.
However, it was soon dropped for the second-best of Disney Afternoon... Maybe third best. That show is Darkwing Duck.
Killed the hype!! I thought between ducktales, darkwing, tailspin and now rescue rangers, the Disney afternooniverse was a go! Now I know not only will rescue rangers not be getting their own show, or coming back to this one any time soon, but Disney's cooking up a "live action" rescue rangers movie???? Nothing but bad news! (Except the actual review was still good)
Been waiting for this one for a while.
I was waiting for the day you would upload this... thank you my good man
Pretty good points. When LP woke up after getting hit with the intelliray, he says that his mind is clearer...I think, can't remember.
Fish you say?
Wonders how much there was a hidden parody in that with the Flintheart Glomgold amnesia episode back in season 2. after all it WAS a representation of Scrooge in the fishing boat.
What would have been interesting to see is that the “smart ray” never even hit launchpad- he just thought it did and started to act this way. His “dumb” side would have still shown through hinting that launchpad was still himself all along- and that when Dewey was in danger and maybe thought he was hit by it went into this secret agent mode. And his British accent could have been him trying to intemidate Mrs. Beakly. I don’t know that would have been more interesting or that he was a spy spying on the mcduck family all along and that his launchpad persona was his true personality.
I enjoyed this video I just like to hear you talk about the episodes to be honest. However in regards to the VR/AR stuff, I think they made it clear enough and honestly, when watching shows like this, there is a suspension of reality and accept the reality of Ducktales so you just go with the flow. Hope tosee another one soon!
Makes me think of the dark wing duck episode where they talk about every one having a little hero inside them .
I think you are still pretty well-voiced even unscripted! I love these reactions/recaps/reviews of Ducktales episodes. Your format partially inspired my own for a video I did on the episode Astro B.O.Y.D.
I actually quite liked this episode and it's one of my favorites of the third season so far. The part where Launchpad admits that he just wants to be good enough for Dewey, and Dewey assures him that he has nothing to prove, was really emotional for me, and I think it wouldn't have worked if the intelli-ray hadn't done anything to Launchpad. But that is a cool analysis that I hadn't thought of that the intelli-ray didn't necessarily make Launchpad smarter, it just made him have more focus and confidence. I like Launchpad a lot, and I think he's much more than your trope-y "dumb" character, and I thought that this episode highlighted those misunderstood parts of Launchpad really well.
I've noticed throughout watching all of your Ducktales episodes that we have different opinions on some episodes though, so it might just be a matter of taste. Either way, I thoroughly enjoy these videos and you always bring up new things that I didn't know or think about! Keep it up! I'll be watching!
I am enjoying Season 3 so far!! First we get Goofy and then the Rescue Rangers!!
I remember those arcades. THOUSANDS of tickets to trade in for items that cost less than $5
Wild to hear about the limbo the Chip n Dale movie was in after it has already been released.
The ray is a cure for ADHD
I love the 3 cartoons shows in one show is awesome.
This was fun to watch on this ep.
This channel deserves more subs!
The new Steelbeak ended up being somewhat controversial in the fanbase, since he was smarter and more threatening in DW aparenty. I personally don't care, he's a new version and a great foil for Launchpad in how he handled his insecurities. Also Frank confirmed on Tumblr that they plan to make Steelbeak grow more competent over time.
Also, I'm gonna miss the scripted version, but this was good! It would be nice to return to the old format for something like the Astro-BOYD episode though, as it would double as a good "Rebooting Gyro Gearloose" video.
So it's fitting that he's being played by Derek from The Good Place.
Maaaay explain the mid-season hiatus.
When the execs DONT put their foot down, the board of directors WILL.
The fact they managed to get RR into the episode at the extent they did is a perfect reminder that sometimes some crimes do indeed go slipping through the cracks
I wonder if it could also be a rats of NIMH reference.
Someone made smart rats, rats got smart, smart rats escaped. Didn't Disney themselves make the movie adaption? I only ever read the book
Eh, him not getting smarter wouldn't have made sense... Sure, he may not _actually_ be dumb normally, but intelligence isn't an on/off switch. If it hit, say, Gyro or Scrooge in that configuration, _they'd_ logically get smarter too.
That being said, him forgetting the _experience_ after being brought back to normal is a bit odd.
This episode was a precursor to the Five nights at Freddy’s Augmented Reality: Special Delivery mobile game
Did the help wanted vr game come before or after that one? I cant keep up with that series.
Just in case anyone didn't get the AR explanation and would prefer examples, Pokemon Go is considered augmented reality, because you're seeing the pokemon on your phone while still seeing the world in front of you through the phone.
My theory is that Launchpad has been hit by the Idiot Ray before, which is why his is how he is...
Take er’ easy Sean. Stay safe & remember you’ll always be good enough for us.
Hi 👋! Great video I love how deeply you dive into these episodes I’m sad they stoped showing on TV because they hadn’t finished the season because of the stupid Covid😡😡!!! Can’t wait for more episodes of Duck Tales once every thing is finally back to normal. Also I never thought as Launch Pad as dumb more clue less.
The review was good enough for me. Another good review
Double O Duck will return in Goldfeather.
Whereas the Rescue Rangers will return in The Fly Who Loves Me.
(Been saving that joke for weeks)
I am supremely jealous of the crew of Ducktales. These guys know their stuff inside and out. This had the same eye for detail as the Quack Pack episode. With plenty of jokes and gags along the way.
I don't want to be in the habit of expecting cameos every episode, but when we do I know we are in for a treat.
Oh hell no, no live action Rescue Rangers film! Stop it Disney, just stop it! And why are people still going to the cinema to watch these live action adaptations?
7:58
There's a green duck kid and a pig kid in one scene.
Tiny Toons reference?
I honestly thought one thing that would happen, that did not, would be 'normal' LP getting hit by the dumb-down ray, but, it had no effect; there was no lower to go. =p
I like this off script talk. It makes you feel even more genuine and just lets us feel your love or dislike of the parts of the episode.
Can you do a review of the ducktales theme song launch pad takeover? I love it and I think you will. Please?
