I'm assuming that means he'll have a bigger role in this incarnation. Still, I hope Launchpad and Gyro Gearloose come back.

Gyro's always been a Ducks mainstay, but Launchpad and Donald both cover a lot of the same ground as characters. But it wouldn't break my heart if he did a winking cameo here or there.

Quite pleased that this apparently won't look like, say, Jake and the Neverland Pirates or something similar.

I don't get the abiding love for Darkwing Duck. Has it aged like wine or something

The character concept and cast could also do wonderful things when spruced up to post-Genndy, post-Gravity Falls sensibilities. |

Now that's the cartoon I remember: Warmed-over slapstick with some decent punchlines here and there. IIRC the kid sidekick was especially grating. (e: I will chalk at least part of that up to being older than the target audience when it came out)
It's good that today's animators are doing the shows they thought they were watching as kids. |

Re: Darkwing Duck. I think it indirectly helped usher in Batman: TAS somewhat, as it treaded similar ground in a more comic fashion. I also quite liked the Boom comics from many years back. That ended right about when Disney bought Marvel. There's a new comic series this year, but I hadn't seen it yet.
I didn't think Gosalyn was ever all that bad. The cast was small as it was, she tended to be helpful as much or more as she screwed up (and so was DW). She wasn't a network mandate--she was there from the beginning. Plus an excellent voice actress. I think the writers liked the character well enough. She was barely in the recent comics, though, and I barely noticed. I'd beg to differ about it being behind Rescue Rangers. However, I also hadn't revisited it recently. Furry culture and whatnot being what it is. Still, Jim Cummings is amazing, and I often dig up clips of Fat Cat for the hell of it. He has one of the only villain monologues I can remember from a cartoon of that time. From Adventures in Squirrelsitting: Quote:
Your inspirations tend to work their way in. With the Disney Afternoon shows we're bringing up, it seemed like the creators of the 80's dug their old adventure pulps and serials. Ducktales is classic treasure hunting and adventure, Talespin is old 30's and 40's aviator stuff, Darkwing Duck gets the Batman comparisons but a lot of its basic concepts are straight from The Shadow. |

Tale Spin is my Platonic Ideal of a Disney cartoon for the whole family, not just the kids. Especially the adult-oriented episodes about Baloo, Becky, or the both of them (though the one where Kit is tricked into a Thembrian flight school is surprisingly awesome too). The multi-part pilot is the best TV Disney has every produced.

God damn it, I remember that show being boring as fuck but that clip makes it look awesome fun.

It's seventeen more seconds of Ducktales animation than we've had in nearly 30 years so I'll content myself to be very excited, thank you!

To better catch the vase containing Mrs. Beakly's ashes, apparently.
Or maybe she's just a huge fan of Darkwing Duck. .....I'd also be fine with a version of Webby that took aspects of Gosalyn. |

At first glance, I thought it was literally a straight-up gun, and now I want that show

I first saw that art on a tiny phone screen and saw the same thing as Guy and was like "surely not....???", before I zoomed in and saw the grapple. Still kind of surprised they were allowed to make it look so much like a regular gun.

Between the grapple gun and the art director from Gravity Falls, I wonder what the odds are on Webby being voiced by Kristen Schaal?

She's an animated little girl being voiced this decade, so I'd say there's a 100% chance.

In that case I hope the nephews have hilariously bad out of place voices because they're voiced by the show creator
