While intellectually I know that Europeans have as much nostalgia for DuckTales comics as I have for, say, Calvin and Hobbes, every time it get brought up I can't help but think "DuckTales? Really?"

I'm pretty sure it's mostly people from Nordic countries and other places without a strong domestic comic book industry.

I personally only read a few stories as a child, but I do get why they're popular, if we're talking American output I definitely prefer it over all of the superhero schlock.

It is curious and wants to accept all kinds of challenges
The main countries where the duck books are popular are Nordic countries, Italy, and Brazil (with decently-sized followings in the rest of europe and latin america)

Exploration is ill-advised.
Disney's had some efforts to market in those areas from way back. The Three Caballeros is a thing. Oddly enough they had a recent cartoon which was accidentally leaked and entirely seperate from the DuckTales reboot, which also has the Three Caballeros feature in an episode as clearly a different depiction and voice actors.

The Caballeros cartoon is alright, it's got a very weird old school feel to it like it was made in the 90s. (with a cameo from Scrooge McDuck very clearly based on the 80s DuckTales) Some nice animation on it. Also a rare appearance of April, May and June, Daisy's nieces. (Which I feel is a good demonstration on why characters like those exist; in a depiction of Donald where it wouldn't be convenient to have him looking after the nephews on top of everything else that's happening, the nieces can serve the same role without him implicitly having to be their parental figure)

Italian Disney made PKNA which took Donald's faux-superhero persona and made him into a real, time traveling superhero with a shape-shifting captain america shield fighting aliens in the future alongside a hyperintelligent AI that looks like Scrooge McDuck and it was magical.

The problem I have with the pedantic argument is that words in English mean what people understand them to mean, so yes a new decade just began because that's what most people understand "decade" to mean.

Now if there is some other reason to have decades start on the "1st" year, then in that specific context 'decade' means something different.

TLDR: Pedants are annoying.

If you were born in the mid/late 80's, "the 90's" exists in your head as the space between when you first saw a Disney animated movie in a theater and 9/11/01.

Really? Plain White T's? All American Rejects? Polyphonic Spree? Rise Against? Those are some 2000's as gently caress bands right there. On your side there's Marilyn Manson, maybe Korn. But otherwise that is an album that distinctly belongs in the post-9/11/pre-'08 recession' era.
