What do you think of Drake from the DuckTales (2017) canon?

{ I mean...considering I rp / ship hard with Drake/DWD from DT17, he’s ai’ght.

Seriously...He was one of the few “updated with a twist” tweaks I actually enjoyed in the series, and an actual creative way of introducing him as the “new” DWD. Personally, I think where the writers and F R A N K did him ( and Jim Starling ) a dirty was not expanding on anything of meaning, and just cutting to a ‘voila!’ Gos is adopted offscreen by Drake, and Jim’s just left to skulk in the sewers as King Rat now...I mean, it’s kindergarten writing 101: don’t introduce something potentially meant for expansion if you’re just going to drop it and pretend you never introduced it in the first place. The writers on DT17 are some the most narcissistic idiots I ever did see.

But hey, at least they spent big bucks with some meaningless filler eps involving Lena’s stupid mary sue “witchy girl” arc and a whole waste of space ep on the moonlanders “adapting” to earth. Nah, no. We just couldn’t actually work on developing the canon characters we introduced. *SARCASM*

Anyway Chris did a fab job matching Jim Cumming’s 90′s voice while still making it his role. Not an easy task, showing how talented Chris as a VA really is. }
