Gadget is the female chipmunk in Rescue Rangers. Apparently there's this group in Russia that formed a religion around her: https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gadget-hackwrench  The guy from Home Alone 2 is...well

The big problem in general with Disney "Ducksverse" is that American Disney does not seem to get the idea that Barks-Rosa-canon is the one, and the only one EU people tend to follow, not the old Duck Tales one. The new talent in Europe tends to follow that at least to some degree. Or do Duck Avenger which is basically Marvel, but with Donald Duck. Its a sort of miracle that the new Ducktales is fairly close to the Barks-Rosa, and isn't doing stupid stuff to contradict it or bend it backwards.

Yeah, it's always baffling to me to see people in the US see Scrooge as this 100% honest moral paragon while in the comics kids in Europe read, more often than not, Scrooge is portrayed as your run of the mill rich psychopath who is willing to let his family die to protect his fortune. I remember reading this sketchy theory that claimed this characterization came from neo-realist Italian writers who happened to have day jobs writing the Italian Donald Duck comics and thus this was their way of inserting their socialist beliefs into their work. I dunno if that's really true but I WANT it to be.

In Barks-Rosa he used to be the rear end in a top hat tycoon who drove his family away, reconciled with his immediate family or what was left of it after living in isolation for several years, and became this Indiana Jones-adventure grandpa (who is still stingy as poo poo) but in the end does the right thing, usually reluctantly. Italians have their entire own thing, I am talking about Dutch/Germany/Belgium/Nordics. For example, the Duck Avenger used to be all Italian. Der Kyhe has a new favorite as of 22:23 on Feb 18, 2022 |

There is also another interesting tidbit about Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck comics; European markets used to be, and still are, very divisive between these two. For example in Nordics Donald is the everyman who despite his problems with his rear end in a top hat neighbor, and Scrooge giving him low pay, always delivered no matter what, and provided living for himself and the three children he had to take care for. He was a role model despite his shortcomings. Mickey Mouse was the allways-right do-gooder who was morally uptight, never broke any rules and was a holierthanthou rear end in a top hat. In some countries Donald was so much more popular that he became the local Disney figure, Mickey was the Mormon missionary who shows up at your doorstep on Sunday morning at 07 AM and gives you a lecture on morals and ethics.

Mickey Mouse definitely has the 'the good china that gathers dust in the cupboard til grandma dies and it goes straight to the thrift store' problem. Like literally the only interesting things he's done in the last decade are are a handful of shorts barely anyone's seen, and Kingdom Hearts.Der Kyhe posted:In Barks-Rosa he used to be the rear end in a top hat tycoon who drove his family away, reconciled with his immediate family or what was left of it after living in isolation for several years, and became this Indiana Jones-adventure grandpa (who is still stingy as poo poo) but in the end does the right thing, usually reluctantly. This is pretty much what the new DuckTales straight rolls with from the start, since it mixes the DuckTales lore with the Barks-Rosa stuff and a few original things. (like the triplets' mom actually featuring. There's a whole Gravity Falls style myth arc)

Donald Duck is great because he gets furious and is all 'wakwakwakwakwak!' and does idiotic things, thus he is all of us. Mickey is charming in the Sorceror's Apprentice where he actually does mischief but Disney is so terrified of loving up their Perfect Child that they never let him be even that interesting any more, it's a real waste of an awesome design. e: I keep meaning to try a Kingdom Hearts because I am assured that Donald flips his poo poo in those games sometimes

Sora isn't so much a person as a blunt weapon, if you point him at someone, that person is GOING to die because he will be easily convinced that they are bad, no matter what else he is told. I liked Epic Mickey's version of Mickey because he's a total screwup who destroys a world by accident, and spends the rest of the game completely awkward and guilt ridden about it as he tries to fix it. Because Oswald is being SO nice to him and at least at first doesn't realise the disaster was directly his fault.

Apparently the plot of at least one Kingdom Hearts game is that the bad guys keep trying to confuse and distract Sora and make him question himself, but because he honestly has no idea what the gently caress their vague ominous rambling is even about he just charges in and wrecks their poo poo anyway, and sometimes the bad guys have already torn themselves apart through infighting and betrayal by the time Sora even gets there.
