Podchat participation of Beatriz : Some information about the Fearsome Five

Good morning / good afternoon / good evening! Here we are in an attempt to do something interesting, for this post I decided to just talk about some ideas for such a character. To start, the chosen group was the Fearsome Five, with a special appearance by my little friend, Beatriz / @zelda-cooper. Here we will be more in line with the description given in the original Darkwing Duck show, so if there are any changes, the mentions related to the project we are working on will be cut (due to some things, we are still organizing how we will make the return).

Speaking first of the most striking in the line of episodes, as for the one that changed the most in the 2017 version, Negaduck/Jim Starling, one criticism we mentioned is exactly that originally his background was limited to “a totally evil version of D.W.D”. Honestly, we would lose the version of the civilian identity removed from an alternative version (I would make a joke here, but I don't know if you would get the reference). Jim Starling is a great solution to work on his counterpoint and draw parallels with the main hero.

One of the lines mentioned in our discussion is that in the original version. We found it difficult to interpret to bring him back in an AU and look, we already had Quackerjack in relation to a story not commented on seriously.

HOWEVER, the character himself brings a fun element and is considerably threatened, even without superhuman abilities. Unfortunately, even with great potential and BEING capable of great feats in victory, one point is to recognize that his defeats are frankly humiliating for a character who has a reputation as dangerous. It's a tip I've already picked up from writers, always balance your scenes and don't let external factors interfere with what you want the readers to see. In the example, Negaduck is dangerous and frankly abusive in the field of his relationships. One fact is that talking about the changes from the old comics and the new line is to cut the little development given (yes, I'm talking about the separation of the group that was cut as if it had never existed and the strong times that one of the group members almost got hurt because of that bird).

But one point to mention is that Darkwing Duck could originally start by solving his comforts in combat, but in no situation did he use any weapon. "Gas gun?" No, there is no way that the efficiency of his main equipment is good enough to face villains like Negaduck - however, I see it as an interesting point that he takes precautions that do not hurt anyone drastically (I elaborated a reason with his past that brings this information, but I will not tell until the right time about the traumas of the purple dancer - just a small point, there is fear and there is temper). The reason, well, even the fans agree that Negaduck is described as a “Crazy in evil” personality. If he is looking for something, he will explode, cut or even crush someone alive. And these characteristics go beyond his type of fighting, they are in his communication, body expression and the coldness of the character. One point I added in the conversation was that Negaduck is the closest to the cast because he is one of the pillars that resembles Darkwing. He has an ego, Negaduck too, he has selfishness, ALSO NEGADUCK contains everything to the extreme that DWD is reluctant to.

Following the most wronged, he doesn't have many episodes, he doesn't have skills that make him famous, however, this man has the entire community! Bud-Bud- Bud Flud- correction, Liquidator! And mainly he has all the attention of Bea-

This character certainly has a criminal record as full as Negaduck, however, under no circumstances would I compare him, or anyone else, to Negaduck in terms of crime items in the general record. But I recognize every point that he got wrong, and one of them refers to his deeds in his origin of sabotaging his adversaries (have you ever thought about how many people have died or suffered from poisoning without the control of the chemicals that he threw into the domestic water?).

This previous example refers to a fact added in the PU version, Liquidator has no filter, he refers to his communication, his sincerity and especially when the issue requires a quick escape. So much so that he is one of the ones who are most in contrast among the colorful birds (ND and DWD), the point that was basically made is that the character is not water-based, HE IS A LIVING CHEMICAL COMPONENT! He has already used this ability with plastic, resin and even made acid (in the version made by Beatriz, she added it with officialization along with some extra abilities).

Which again shows that he is a poorly used character in the series, in the comics, we liked the narrative delivered. Another point that was not mentioned directly, but that for now is official and that he has a family past. Was not given completely, but it is a perfect introduction to give him a more independent parallel to the main characters. One point that I added to the Fearsome is that they have one of the worst characteristics Darkwing's stics, and in this liquid dog directly present his greed in instability. How much he could go beyond or leave someone behind to win (and not to mention that in this case he gave his little head a good trauma when he thought he killed someone-).

Following with his fearful, intelligent and in need of an emotional hug counterpart and that Negaduck is more than ready to distrust. Especially the one who doesn't have a villain's name - Dr. Reginald Bushroot, everyone was already expecting his ending when there was mention of a possible alternative ending for the character (a vote there has the explanation of where the reference is). But let's go piece by piece, Bushroot is not exactly someone totally evil or totally good, he is, in the grey field of the morality line, an anti-hero. And a controversial piece of information about his redemption and… I think it depends exactly on who is writing the character, it's okay whatever they want to deliver for their narrative, everyone is open to their interpretation of the character, just a point to be understood in the original.

A very striking characteristic of the scientist is his low confidence and part of his loneliness (something familiar?). At this point, there is important information that we changed some things in the introductory episode, a few more details, some dynamics, and slight corrections to soften the comedy act again. His powers will continue to be based on plant manipulation, BUT an addition that we will expand what can be done when there are COUNTLESS genders, types and mainly reactions in contact with normal beings (I warn you that those who are allergic to pollen should get some syrup). Due to the fact that he works indirectly in medical research in this version, he gives a lot of experience and didactic knowledge. Excluding the secret information part, I have to say that, unfortunately, his development was not correct (I think that is not very new when we are talking about DWD, right?). However, this mention is being made because it is a serious problem, insecurity, and dependence are very common factors in relationship communication and can be poorly handled even in situations outside the story field… That's what I could say if, if we hadn't happened something else to give this leaf duck the right to have his problems solved with a right dose of good relationships! Unfortunately, I have to cut it short here - let's move on to the next Fearsome Five.

He's the most troubled, the most colourful, the most clownish of the cast, the most temperamental, yes, it's Quackerjack! To begin with, I hadn't even noticed much, the sense of the character's episodes until I realized by the very mention of having no sense of continuity of theme. He literally travelled through time and took Darkwing Duck with him by accident (I think he was the character in the original writers' test script, you know-). However, the only thing I point out to start a discussion of the character is when there is a division about his writing of being “too funny or childish" or "being a joker in a duck version", well, trying to open a third point, why not bring a little of both? Come on, we're talking about Quackejack, a combination of the toy man and the Joker. He could very well be someone friendly, likes jokes, not have much maturity. But at the same time, he is an adult, he knows when it is right and wrong to act, he knows how to recognize traits, fears and. Above all, he is someone who can have a turbulent temperament when he cuts the wire. Fans are free to use their interpretation of the character's era of participation.

And perhaps I should mention what we did, in a way, we mixed both sides of the same coin, we added the reason for some choices in the story's universe, more hatred for Darkwing Duck. Even if he, in himself, could not be so mentally indifferent, he would be the counterpoint to instability, in other words, to the stubbornness that fights every day in the mind of the night's vigilante. He faced the worst when he was just a civilian, we don't know, a blank canvas was still left on the blue bird, I could make an indirect statement about having. Seen too much and, at the same time, having done too much to end up like this! Without any further information for now, we move on to the conclusion. Someday we will properly explore this head of pure chaos.

For a calmer ending, we will give a summary of the last conversation of the most clumsy, memory-deprived, sleep-deprived, cheese-addicted, OK! Just kidding, everyone recognizes Elmo Sputterspark-I mean-Megavolt! Here we can already see some different information from his fellow villains. Megavolt, even without a relative mentioned, among all the fearsome is the one we have the most of a snippet of his long history. He was a typical student of science, physics, mathematics, so much so that he wanted to make a difference until he was simply prevented by an accident, which took away a good part of his memories (I would talk about his hair, but I think it is too embarrassing for the mouse). In the original show, he is one of the oldest of the protagonist bird, if not the oldest villain in all the cases he has fought. I have to point out that unfortunately I can no longer give information about what I am already building within our AUs. However, one piece of information I have already heard is that some people do not know about the absence of the helmet.

And to your answer, yes, the character was given anime hair, but the reason is a little more serious when the blunt joke is removed. Megavolt (the villain's identity) was sent to the electric chair once and for this process it is necessary to shave his hair and other parts of his body to avoid possible contact with fire (I did some more research considering the 90s and 2024, and I say, I do not like at all the treatment given to certain information by the strong comedy of the show even though it is necessary for us to have the necessary information to write a character). And that is scary, now imagine this situation when the character is officially in his 30s, a young American having to go through a situation like this alone? That is the sense of tragedy. Megavolt is a character with such a charismatic personality and such an eccentric humour that he is cut short when he carries melancholic information.

But, we do not lower our heads so much, events cannot be changed, choices about a short time, but they are still to be remembered, oh, yes. I just made a slight reference to “Clash Reunion”, I gave a slight mention in my Instagram post about this subject and slight details with characters that no longer exist. Again, I must be denied to comment much on some decisions for their development in PU and LYG. I can add that this mention of a melancholic possibility goes much deeper than one thinks, this adversary goes much deeper than a parallel to DWD, yes, there is anger and regret in both of them in their youth. There are weak hearts near those who feel comfortable opening up, and it is a point that works for this character to give more approximation to the inner self. As for being one of the characters whose end is totally uncertain, creativity is totally free for its destiny, and it is something I am in favour of trying. A slight mention to the artists I love (Beatriz as well) when they put OCs to interact with these characters. Seriously, I feel the joy of each one when they talk so much about him as to your dynamics by. Please feel free to talk whenever you wish, I love seeing what they do with their creativity.

And that's the end, which requires the attention of everyone who passed the second line. I'm not a person who is very easy to communicate with people, I'm always a shy person with low confidence. But being around friends and people who make room to share interests leaves an open heart. Well, that's all for now, do I see you? GOOD-BBBBBBBYE!
