THEORY: DuckTales S3 is about bringing the McDuck FAMILY together. LITERALLY.

Greetings, fellow DuckTales fans! Very pleased to make my first theory out in the digital world, with my own illustrations to support it!

MAJOR/POTENTIAL SPOILERS

Part 1: Brothers and Sisters

According to Frank Angones, one of the main directions Season 3 is heading to is challenging ‘Clan McDuck’ to its core. We already know that includes the triplets, Webby, Scrooge, Donald, the manor staff, Lena, Violet, Gladstone...

With that said, what if a plotline surfaces, in which we learn about bringing the actual McDuck family together...?

A thought occurred to me the other day, that due to the challenging circumstances, the triplets are eventually going to estrange each other. How do I know? 

1. Huey will go through absolute hell this season. It is heavily implied that he will start investigating F.O.W.L with no-one in his family believing him - including his brothers.

2. Disney has accidentally leaked footage of a Halloween special, in which Louie dresses up as his weird red hat brother. Assuming that the next episode is about Team Magic, it could be because Huey���s investigations are creeping Louie out, thus the green triplet dressing up as Huey.

3. The last episode so far involves the triplets supporting each other. They seemed too ‘on good terms’ with each other, if you know what I mean. More about that later.

Now I don’t know exactly when we will learn about Scrooge’s relationship with his sisters...but to make things parallel and poetic, I believe we will find out once it seems that the triplets will split up. FOR GOOD.

According to numerous Duck stories, Scrooge spent a lot of his life away from his sisters, the latter seldom having coverage. From what I’ve seen so far, I believe that the team will use Rosa’s A Letter from Home, as a stimulus toward their fates: Hortense MAY have died a long time ago with her husband (hence Donald and Della being raised by their uncle), whereas Matilda is still out there, somewhere. 

These are not 100% my ideas, but I’d love to imagine Hortense having a love for discipline and splendour more than Scrooge (Team Guile), whereas Matilda could have a passion for science, thus her probable love for Ludwig Von Drake (Team Science). Any information about whether or not Matilda is married to Von Drake is currently confidential, but I believe that marriage was his big mistake - making Scrooge’s sister an easy target for F.O.W.L, and that the two are hiding. OR MAYBE MATILDA WAS THE TRAITOR THAT WAS MENTIONED ON WEBBY’S BOARD THE ENTIRE. TIME. Could make sense, acknowledging they toned down Scrooge’s love for money. 

I don’t have a clear scenario about how this would play out, but I believe that the episode regarding this would start as a hasty attempt from Scrooge to bring the triplets back together with another visit to Castle McDuck. Scrooge’s parents would then tell the triplets about his relationship with his sisters, which Scrooge may or may not expect at all. Other than that, I don’t have much, but we may find Matilda using the opportunity to take care of her parents as a way to hide from F.O.W.L. or in the slim chance of Hortense still being alive, the triplets attempting to bring Scrooge and his siblings together and make up.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING MAY BE A HUGE STRETCH

According to Frank, every member of Clan McDuck will have a counterpart working for F.O.W.L. I’d imagine that in this canon, Scrooge and his siblings are three aging birds wearing slightly different eyewear. Who else are three aging birds wearing slightly different eyewear?

If that is true, and if each sibling is alive, then whatever Bradford’s brothers were to him could be what Scrooge’s sisters are to the richest duck in the world himself. Perhaps once Scrooge reunites with his sisters, the other Buzzards may start a rocky path with Bradford.

Part 2: NO SECRET - This part of the theory is leaning towards what I want to be true...cheeky me!

“I’m your grandmother, dear. I have no more secrets from you from here on out.”

I believe that in the beginning of the season, positive aspects between characters such as the triplets, Donald and Della, etc. will be explored - and then what? 

Apart from Huey, it is obvious that Beakley and Webby are going to have the big oof this season. And as part of F.O.W.L’s motive, they could split the two apart. How? With the help of a familiar face. Webby’s mother. Bentina Beakley’s daughter - Bianca, also known as Darkwing Duck’s Bugmaster. I REALLY WANT THIS TO BE TRUE. They could take the most interesting route by making Bugmaster an agent/journalist of F.O.W.L. But...why?

PIC UNRELATED

I’d imagine the beginning of this story as Webby crossing the boundaries of her grandmother, and cue an entire ‘The Reason You Suck Speech’ from Webby to Beakley, about how Beakley’s strict parenting affected her life. Webby could then storm off and find someone else to latch onto - like her mother... 

It could make sense, because Webby is always curious about information, and has a camera of her own...that kind of stuff seems kinda fitting for a job in the news industry, as Bianca’s job in DW was a news reporter for St. Canard. On the other hand, Bianca could be the exact antithesis of what Beakley wants her daughter to be. Unlike Webby, I’d imagine a younger Beakley being more laid back/absent with Bianca, and so that could have angered her a lot - probably even more with Webby in the picture, kinda like Eleanor Shellstrop from The Good Place. As a result, Bianca could have grown dishonest and rebellious, joining F.O.W.L to take revenge on her own mother, becoming Agent Bugmaster.

One potential scenario in mind of a battle between Agent 22 and Bugmaster - probably too dark and edgy, is that upon Bugmaster’s defeat/death - she tells her mother to take care of Webby, as if having a second chance to raise her Bianca. Cue big Beakley-Webby hug. Ow.

Part 3: The Rest

I have plenty of other ideas in which the relationships within the McDuck clan and friends may fall apart 

- Scrooge may be framed as working for F.O.W.L.

- Donald and Della may fall apart due to the shocking revelation that Donald and Scrooge hated each other for 10 years, or Daisy.

- Donald, Della and Scrooge may fall apart because of a potential lie from Scrooge about the fates of Hortense and Quackmore.

- Launchpad may be isolated from the McDuck family due to his insecurities.

- B.O.Y.D. may be a hacking target by Gandra Dee.

- Webby’s hypothetical growing distrust in the world may cause her to grow distant from her grandmother, and two best friends.

- Changing dynamics between Gyro and Fenton. What if Gyro finds out about Gandra and loses trust in Fenton knowing that the two are in a relationship? 

- A few members losing trust in Fethry letting some dumb secret slip.

TLDR: 

Part 1: Scrooge’s sisters may be revealed once HDL falls apart, Matilda McDuck and Ludwig Von Drake are alive and hiding

Part 2: Webby has Granny issues, Webby’s mom is The Bugmaster from Darkwing Duck

Part 3 and OVERALL: F.O.W.L is trying to split Clan McDuck, and it is up to the individuals to bring the family together!

...and that’s it! Thank you for reading this large ambitious theory! mcautismo signing out! peace

Episodes 8-9 Thoughts

Great episodes! Specific thoughts under the cut

Episode 8: The Phantom and the Sorceress 

LENA. CENTRIC.

Amazing!!

Lena figuring out her powers make serotonin for brain

I love the blue magic with her, and the hair too!

The outfit is cute as more of a like, battle or one time outfit. But not an overall outfit. I like her emo look more

Magica being a little bitch and a forest witch is everything I need

Very good episode. Esp Violet. I love her.

Not much of the boys but sometimes it is good break from them

9/10. Amazing

Episode 9: They Put a Moonlander on Earth

Might be gay for Penny. She is just, so pretty. And ripped. 

Penny being so confused at the McDuck kids feeding ducks fuels me 

Launchpad’s crush on Penny was a cute side plot, but I’m glad it didn’t become a full canon ship. 

Seeing Dewey be a petty bitch is quality content

Wendy crushing on Penny (but she is a minor so no, it’d be like a “Oh women” crush. Her “awakening” aside from Lena if you will)

Penny. Is. A. Les. Bi. An. 

“Oh I’m not interested in Earth.....males.” 

THAT’S FUCKING GAY

SHE IS DATING DELLA

I MAKE THE RULES

Della being so confused about the words they’re using and being a side character for the most part is funny asf to me. 

The slang is so outdated and they’re dressing like it is the 90′s-2000′s is top tier. I love it

Overall. I loved both of these episodes. Cannot wait for more

[95jezzica]

Okay, but seriously? This is actually also a brilliant way to tell us how the characters see the kids!

Fethry call the kids “little Donald(s)” because he sees them as Donald’s kids. Della was stuck on the moon - and Donald raised HDL. No wonder Fethry sees them as Donald’s kids! That’s how it was for 10+ years, and nothing will change that.

Meanwhile Penumbra first got to hear about the kids from Della, who kept talking about them with her while on the moon. Penumbra probably had to listen to Della’s talk about her children and the rest of the family for years! Penumbra’s connection to the kids is through Della, unlike Fethry’s, so of course Penumbra sees them as Della’s kids - no matter who actually raised HDL.

I was calm trying to sleep until I remembered that Fethry and Penumbra refer to HDLW as "little Donald" and "small Della" ... Now I'm crying how cute it is😔👊❤️✨

Well the joke is told by itself...

[mukuharakazui]

launchpad.

favorite thing about them: another textbook himbo

least favorite thing about them: by wearing pants, he implies that ducks have the option to wear pants within the ducktales universe, but that other ducks just choose not to. this role forcing auciences to contemplate social mannerisms and etiquette within the source proves similar to that of skimbleshanks in cats (2019).

favorite line: he has too many good lines and i don't have them memorised aaaaa

brOTP: DEWEY IN DT2017 IN PARTICULAR however i also like him as friends with beakley because sometimes people need friends their own age lmao

OTP: drakepad ♡ i have a brain and a heart

nOTP: della or penumbra like.....they both hate him and are in lesbians with each other

random headcanon: in dt2017 he doesn't live with drake Yet but a while after drake adopts gosalyn..........he Will.

unpopular opinion: i wish he would have kept his scarf :( i liked that part of his old design but that may also be because the upper half of his new design gives me gumshoe vibes.

song i associate with them: sorry i can only associate launchpad with his theme song takeover because of the way the hour long version "with no easter eggs" on disney's youtube portrays an early postmodern world similar to the ones depicted in works such as rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead and waiting for godot.

favorite picture of them:

himbo pride flag

[hunter-the-sad-skeleton]

New video up! Hope y’all enjoy the madness!

[lizzaroona]

Penumbra: I can't believe we're stuck in this room together

Della: *swallowing the key* truly unfortunate

[lizzaroona]

September 16th: Either Lunaris or Penumbra. Penumbra's really funny and I love her relationship with Della. And I know that Lunaris was predictable and kind of a one-note villain but personally liked him! His voice actor was AMAZING, he was,, slightly funny, and he was a legitimate threat.

But yeah, I can't choose between them :)
