I'm enjoying Donald having a bigger role than the last series but it's hard to understand what he's saying.

Watched the movie last night, family loved it!
Once you get used to Tennant's accent it's brilliant, only took about 5 minutes, everyone was loving it when the theme tune kicked in.

Webby's character seems like a mixed bag to me. I wouldn't say she's a Mabel clone, but it definitely feels like they're trying to capture the spirit of why people loved her so much. Also, the fact that she has her own grappling hook also leans too much onto the Mabel side of things.
Yeah... I'd be fine with them giving him subtitles.

Donald is flat out the best part of the show. Everything from the Daytrip episode was brilliant. Him going off the grid, and trying to live in his boat, is one of the funniest running storylines in a cartoon ever.
Mrs. Beakley: "Had you asked, I could have helped you procure a safe and adequate electrical system"
Donald: "Nah, I'm good"
Mrs. Beakley: "Where do you think you're going?"
Donald: "I have to tend to my unmentionables"
Beakley: "What I am now noting as the undergarment incident"

I loved these episodes. Show has the potential to turn into one of my favorites cartoons, and I can't wait to see what is next.
I'll admit I'm relieved to read that I'm not the only one having an hard time understanding Donald. It annoys me, as I love the voice but just can't understand most of what he is saying. I fear this may become a problem for this character's future.

"That is LITERALLY your job!"
Just watched all four episodes. Incredibly fun, and I even noticed a "mature" joke in one of them. Actually had to take a double-take.
I was surprised by the fact that there is an over-aching story going on. I mean, it's good and can't wait to see where it leads, but I went in thinking it was a adventure-of-the-week kind of thing.
Also, Donald is the best. Kind of hard to understand at times, but I love his character. There is something very endearing about the way he takes care of his nephews.

I'm glad this didn't follow a route of quack pack where they damn near hated each other. In here Donald is a loving uncle. The nephews while mischievous still love him too.

Yep. I'm cracking up every time this duck talks. I love the voice acting for Donald personally, I can make out what he's saying but it's just about unintelligible enough to sound hilarious.
better late than never
Many thanks
Episode 2 was solid; not quite as good as 1 or 3, but definitely enjoyable. I REALLY liked episode 3; if this is the direction the show is going in (juggling multiple characters going in different direction until they converge) then sign me the heck up!
As an aside, there's something eerie about how nobody mentioning that Huey was straight up absent in episode 3. Like completely. Not to mention the fact that he was barely involved in episode 2, and you get the sense that there isn't as much passion for his character.

As of right now one of the brothers still needs a chance for him to shine/be the center of one of the plots.

Yep, just makes me so unfailingly happy every new episode. Adore it.

Yep. I was curious myself.
I KNEW he sounded familiar!
Great batch of episodes, though. Like I said in the past, it really seems like Gravity Falls taking inspiration from DuckTales is now coming full-circle by having the opposite be the case.....& I love it.
Oh I don't doubt it
But Huey is objectively down one episode, and it's fascinating to me
Did they just say fuck it?
Could they not get Danny Pudi?
Is this a set up for something bigger?!
Huey, baby!

They actually feel distinct now

They gotta work hard for huey since he kept essentially the original design.
If he was the boy scout maybe his personality could be he has more of a straightforward personality, and he might have basic survival skills his brothers don't when out in the wild. But all I've seen of him so far is to just hang around his brothers joining in their mischief.

Yeah this series is the first time I've ever been able to tell them apart. The distinct personalities really help.
Seriously. 3rd episode I was wondering where the hell is Huey?!. They didn't even explain why he wasn't there.
Missed this gag. I guess the screen was too far away.
I just caught up with the last few episodes before bed. This show is shaping up to be a real treasure. They haven't missed a single beat so far, I'm hooked. If it keeps this quality up it might end up being one of my favorite cartoons period.
I'm guessing the next episode will be Huey centric to make up for him being gone this episode. Possibly something to do with that camping clip from before?

I noticed Bigfoot when the Huey clip was originally posted, but is that supposed to be Roxanne, or just a Goofy type character?
Probably the latter. She has no mole under her eye.

Just binged the three episodes and wow! I've never watched the original Ducktales, but I grew up reading the comics and this series take on it is so fresh and engaging! Asshole Gyro caught my by surprise,and them turning "who is the mother" into an actual plot line is the hypest thing ever.
It also got that Gravity Falls vibe for sure. I like thier version of Mable.
Is this airing weekly or is it a Gravity Falls situation where everything is random and take forever?

Webby is more likable than boy crazy and manipulating Mabel. Also Webby did put the entire universe in peril because of her selfish desires.

Shit, I didn't know the series finally started. I need to catch up.
Wait, is one of the voices (Kate) the brunett in this video?

Kate Micucci, yes. She plays Sadie on Steven Universe too, and that's who I hear whenever Webby talks. Shit's wild.

Wow really? Is she doing her best Kristen schaal impression because I thought it was her this whole time lmao
My thoughts on the character re-imaginings
Ma Beagle: Somewhat of a miss. The old Ma Beagle knew how to charm her way out of trouble. This Ma Beagle...sounded bored?
Gyro: Making him a mad scientist actually kinda worked.
Quackfaster: ......did they somehow combine Magica and Quackfaster into one character? I'm almost sure that's going to be the twist.

So based on the synopsis of the two upcoming episodes..
"Webby and new mysterious friend Lena must fight their way through Beagle Boy turf to get back home."
"Mrs. Beakley grows suspicious of Lena."
This Lena is totally Magica, right?

lol to be honest I had no interest in this show pre-release so I'm pretty late to the theory game. XD
