[tacagen]

did you know that negaduck from darkwing duck was based off reverse-flash? yeah, that doesnt even BEGIN to describe what's actually been going on between their character histories..

first, negaduck wasnt just inspired by or a reverse-flash parody. he's a literal copy-paste of silver age thawne with a very few changes of origin place from future to parallel universe and identity from some random future guy to main hero's evil twin, because originally eobard was fixated on being a Criminal and not particularly flash's nemesis. back in the day, thawne constantly mentions how much he loves his criminal life. half of his lines are negaduck-worthy purely because the rest is related to being a speedster scientist. my personal favorite as an example:

he passes the speed limit law in central city so that barry couldnt use superspeed without breaking it but thawne still could because he is 'a hardened criminal'. he invents rays that turn everything inflicted evil (something even negaduck has never done (ig solely because megavolt's already done it in the negaduck episode where he accidentally splits darkwing into good dw (posiduck) and bad dw(negaduck, with a black and gray color scheme), and while yellow negaduck is a different character this is basically how the idea of him was born and the writers just decided to keep him in a different form bc the gray one merged back into normal dw at the end which is super funny. imagine coming up with a duck villain and going 'oh this guy actually reminds me a lot of reverse-flash with all that opposite/negative thing. LET'S PAINT HIM IN THOSE COLORS AND GIVE HIM THE SAME PERSONALITY AND SIMILAR ORIGIN THIS TIME'), altho he DOES test the power gem on a cat in jail bird like thawne did with evil rays). he repeatedly tries to get poor former dr alchemy back to crime just because 'crime fun. why cant you see that. im doing it for your own good' and negaduck tried something like that with morgana in feb 14th episode my valentine ghoul (+that brief scene with gos from 2016 comics run where he believes she must be bad deep down inside out of comparsion to nega!gosalyn). negaduck also travels from a whole other world just to fuck around here for fun (there was this bronze age flash issue called flashback where thawne gets lost in the timestream because barry pushed the wrong buttons in his time capsule which is almost exact negaduck's fate in life, the negaverse and everything) and one of another few differences related is that negaduck is shown to be a dictator of his universe's St. Canard who is bored to live somewhere he already has all the power so he travels to another universe to cause problems on purpose.

second. dc's new52. eobard is rewritten again, now he and zoom are kind of one character. but guess what else is new in this version that never happend neither in zoom or professor zoom's lives? thawne is a fucking dictator in his own time. and people tried to fight his rule in flash's name just like friendly four needed darkwing as inspiration to finally fight back for their world.

he gets his own team, acolytes of zoom (i wish i could call them local fearsome 4 but there are 5 of them, making it more of a sinister 6 if you count thawne) which he trains for centuries to fight the flash and betrays later by trying to steal their powers just like negaduck stole f4's in jail bird to become mega-negaduck and if all that wasnt enough, without the mask he straight up looks like negaduck humanization. look at him. this mf is only missing a hat and a cape.

also these sudden black parts in his new speedster suit design? either it is some absolute fucking bonkers of a coincidence or someone on the flash writing team really went 'hey guys you know what would be real funny? lets base new thawne off negaduck. like he was originally based off thawne. i swear no one will notice' and everyone went with that. (i could also mention he has the same dumb motivation for being evil (having shitty childhood/being deep down sad about mistreatment and loneliness) as 2011 dwd comics run negaduck but imo that's too far of a stretch to actually be included)

third. yall know the deal of the first season of cw's the flash? yeah, what if i told you the whole thawne messes with the particle accelerator and causes barry to gain superspeed thing already fucking happend in darkwing duck, episode going nowhere fast?

(the way i lost my mind over this back in the day when i decided to watch dwd just because negaduck reminded me of thawne(i didnt even know he was a direct rip-off, i just went 'oh wait dt universe has this evil fuck that wears the same color scheme as reverse-flash? girl i AM checking the whole thing out just to see if he's anything like thawne'.) and first watched the episode... priceless, still haunts me to this very day. how the hell was that written in 1991. did cw writers just take the idea from dwd too. honestly i cant be sure about anything anymore).

and remember in the duck knight returns (2011 comics run arc) flashbacks there was a super funny thing with negaduck not knowing dw's secret identity and being so proud he cracked the case? remember cw!og!thawne looking for flash's time period and not knowing his identity in 2nd season cameo episode? what the hell was even up with that!!! like guys. guys one of you is the most devoted flash fan from the future and there is NO way none of that kind of information was left a CENTURY after (i mean come on dude couldntve you just asked gideon. she literally had that 2024 newspaper about vanishing and thats at the very least not mentioning she was created by barry) and another is straight up the same fucking person as the hero with the same fucking relatives and enemies. idk take a wild guess??? ((i really wonder if anybody on the wirting team of 2011 dwd run saw not just life, the negaverse and everything but any episode featuring negaduck at all. not only do they ignore the existence of nega!gos in the 'oh he mean bc alone :(' approach, they ignore the very definition of negaduck's character which is literally evil drake mallard. i mean sure hes dumb and may miss obvious clues because of being the same dw just evil but come on, such a comedic situation and never addressed by drake whos literally been in the negaverse and knows they are the same person or by anyone else he coluldve told that? oh well unless drake is also dumb af and thought there never was any drake mallard in the negaverse in the first place and that negaduck is some other guy. which is a real probability i suppose))

also. negaduck's death by being split on billions of evil particles in crisis on infinite darkwings and thawne, being 'exorcised' from nash's body in a form of a negative speed force stream with sparks in 6x15 of cw's the flash.

fourth! yall did watch ducktales 2017 reboot, right? specifically the duck knight returns episode? they introduce a whole new version of negaduck there! and guess what. jim starling, an old darkwing duck (in-universe 90s tv series) actor obsessed with his role, goes fucking nuts because there is a new darkwing duck actor in a new movie and he didnt even know. because he feels forgotten. because no one remembers neither him nor original series (objectievely not true bc obviously launchpad and drake but to jim they just dont count bc reasons. he seems to count only children but calls lp his fan when anthagonizes drake for taking even that from him in the end). because he was replaced and no one even bothered to tell him. he causes a fire on the set, almost kills drake but does have a change of heart at the end after launchpad's speech about what darkwing duck stands for and seemingly sacrifices himself to save drake and lp from the explosion. then they have the worst idea they could have in relation to jim's character ever: for drake to be a real life darkwing duck to honor jim's sacrifice. so naturally he hears that from the sewers or wherever he was hiding to see their reactions(look i am. 100% sure that this is what happened bc that makes so much more sense than jim getting brain damage or whatever from that explosion and waking up to choose violence again for no other reason). he gets hit with the being replacable and forgotten thing once again and renders back to negaduck tendencies, for all we know for good this time as his darkwing suit changes to the yellow-red one. yk who else went on a rampage because he felt forgotten and replaced? you guessed it! the return of barry allen, a 90s classic where thawne goes to 21st century for the first time, thinks he's barry (original-ish flash) because dissociation from trauma of seeing himself being killed by his hero and acts exactly like starling, having the same issues as motivation aka him/barry being forgotten and replaced by wally. he implies wally taking on the flash mantle is most disrespectful to barry. he rants about how he's the only flash and threatens to destroy not only the flash family but the whole central city for forgetting that. he and wally have a conflict of legacy similar to jim and drake's conflict in dt17. he is The starling blueprint only a lot more mentally ill. also we've heard something like the duck knight returns in running scared (this one is less reminiscent of jim but still features some things that werent in the return of barry allen). it's a rebirth arc that introduces another new origin of reverse-flash. now, he's been hyperfixated on barry allen his whole life (on a whole new level i mean) and there was the first meeting in 25th century where they Connected like thawne always believed they would. that day ended up in a fight and thawne's imprisonment because he set up casualties to get attention and praise for being the flash of 25th century but unlike all other versions this thawne has a change of heart after the fight, too. he promises to 'fix everything' including himself, he even goes to therapy afterwards. then he goes to the 21st century to tell barry how much he accomplished since they last met and then sees barry saying to wally one meaningful phrase he said to thawne that perfect day. like it wasnt something special only barry and eobard shared. like the day they met never happened. like he forgot thawne ever existed. like he was replaced as barry's speedster partner/friend/whatever he thought they were after that day by wally. and that shatters thawne so much he runs back to 25th and just decides to become the reverse-flash and make barry suffer until he gives him attention and recognition he deserved. frank angones, i am inside your walls. you CANT deny you based your versions of dw and nd off flash comics and thawne particularly. and more, you legit made reverse!eobarry au and put it in dt in duck forms. i have been losing my mind about it for 3 years now. i am exposing you and there is nothing you can do to escape that.

fifth(ish). yeah, and btw about friendly four from life, the negaverse and everything. did you think they actually escaped being mirrored in the flash? ha. i present to you reverse-rogues from the 25th century aka the renegades, carefully created by zoom and thawne himself, thinking it would somehow be funny.

cant believe hunter once saw it on tv put 2 and 2 together and went 'eobard my dude we need to go full negaverse with the 25th century. we need a friendly four to your negaduck. i swear it'll be Hilarious'. god the only thing they lack at this point is nega!gosalyn (i mean. hunter actually did try something like that with inertia, saving him from the museum and trying to teach him how to torture flashfam into improving them but thad was more of a nega!honker and reverted hunter to disabled powerless state just because. love that kid)

and that's all i have so far, if anyone here also into both yellow-red mfs with no life feel free to comment or even add more because there sure is or at least will be more and no one has the power to stop it.

Through A Mirror Darkly: Life, The Negaverse and Everything (Patreon Review for WeirdKev27)

Hello all you happy people and it's time for a hop back through the mirror as we continue Through a Mirror Darkly, a look at mirror universe episodes.

Today we go back to something we haven't revisited in a while on this blog: the terror who flaps in the night, the finely aged cheese you left on the sidewalk in the rain Darkwiinnnnggg duuuuucckkk.

Yes the darkwing of the night is back on this blog as we see just where his arch enemy came from. Negaduck's an intresting case as unlike most darkwing foes, who were either introduced alongside their origin stories or were only introduced after them because the episode after that was finished and Disney coudln't wait five minutes, he was introduced in the just us ducks two parter we've coverd here before as someone Darkwing knew.. but the audience didn't.

It also worked. Out of nowhere was this mysterious dark reflection of our hero: while both ducks were hammy, Negaduck was a colder kind, with a sneering voice that just made it clear how much contempt he had for everyone around him, and a penchant for chainsaws. Darkwing could get dangerous... Negaduck was ALWAYS dangerous.

This episode answers who the heck is this guy.. withotu ruining his mystique. Fittingly, like darkwing we don't know WHY Negaduck became a supervillian, but we do know why an evil doppleganger of darkwing suddenly manifested and wasn't the previous negative counterpart we'd seen before.

Naturally given what this series is about, he's from an evil parallel universe; one without hope, where Negaduck rules supreme and where Drake naturally ends up, out of his element, out of fucks to give, and with a world against him. Can drake survivie this world turned up side down? can be be convinced to do the right thing and help this fallen world? Will the muddlefoots wear leather for some reason? find out under the cut

We open with the fearsome five, who just came back from a succesful heist and are hangin out. Down the street. Same old place. They did Last week. Negaduck does however have a thing to do than talk to you so he tries to duck out but the rest of the gang wants to know why he never hangs. Is it them?

The short answer, yes the long answer is negaduck has other things to do at his hideout and dosen't want to share it. So the others decide to do the rational thing and let him go be a dick elsewhere and.. nope they decide to follow him. Granted if they did the rational thing they probably woudln't be fighting darkwing every week so fair play.

At the Drake Residence, Drake is engaged in a long afternoon's nap that Gosalyn rudely interupts. Drake's supposed to take her next door for Honker's birthday party. Drake politley declines

Okay maybe not politley but in his defense: the muddlefoots life next door, so Gosalyn REALLY dosen't need an escort. He can see fine from here, and he talks about how much he hates the muddlefoots on a regular basis. She knows he dosen't like Honker's parents or brother, he hasn't been shy about that, why force him to go beyond "If I have to tolerate them so do you daddddd". Launchpad can't do it because he's picking up the cake.

So Drake is forced to endure this party. Granted Gos isn't much happier as Honker is happy just reading. We haven't really talked about the muddlefoots a lot in previous darkwing reviews as Honker tends to appear solo a lot and the only real time his family was important was during the Splatter Phoenix episode, which was less about the usual dynamic with them and more about Herb being a value pack of dicks.

The Muddlefoots are the Mallard's next door neighbors and the bains of his existance, to the point you think Drake only didn't have a civlian identity for so long to avoid talking to people like them. Their the annoying people in your lives you can't get rid of and you have TRIE.

The Muddlefoots consit of herb, the overenthuastic dad, his doting and mildly annoying wife binky, thier withdrawn and nerdy son and gosalyn's best friend honker and Honker's older brother and waking nightmare tank, who is a bully to one and all including Drake.

The muddlefoots primarily annoy the tar out of drake because they have no real self awarness, the most ironic of hells, and thus Herb just kinda wedges himself into Drake's life despite Drake never being subtle about hating the muddlefoots. Herb isn't a BAD guy.. he's just very awkard... similar to how Drake's not the worst person, simply incrdibly cranky and egotistical.

Drake luckily gets an escape when Launchpad arrives.. and when he was getting the cake spotted the fearsome four, if not negaduck whose hideout the cake shop is. Drake takes the easy out both for justice and to get to trip tank into the cake as an excuse to go get a replacement.

Darkwing arrives.. but the numbers game means he easily looses and the four easily capture him. Inside Negaduck has opened some kinda weird stygian hole in his cake and the villians throw him in.. and piss negsy off.

Turns out the portal is his way HOME. It also spotlights something that makes negaduck so dangerous: it isn't just that he's cruel or ax crazy... it's that he's SMART. Unlike Drake whose clever but is also up his own ass, Negaduck thinks his plans through, and thus knows unleashing darkwing on a world without compitent heroes threatens his reign and goes after him.

Drake ends up in the negaverse but has no idea "what happened to his beautiful st canard". I also love the payoff to that when Negaduck sniffs in the heavy polution and whistfully proclaims "my beautiful st canard". I also like how while having a red skied industrial dystipia is normal to show a mirror universe or bad future, here it's also a nice contrast to the dark blues of st canard, which has a more welcoming night skyline , inviting adventure to the opressive nightmare that is the negaverse.

Naturally this being Darkwing.. he has no idea he's in another universe or what the hell's going on for an embarassingly long time. He comes home and assume's it's wrecked condition is "gosalyn mesisng with the wiring" and assumes Negagosalyn is an act. negagosalyn, like ours is a good kid.. unlike ours though she's a sugary sweet girly girl in pigtails and an overly elaborate dress who does what her dad asks.

It's also a nice reminder that not ALL mirror versions of a character have to be evil. Negagos is simply the oppisite of our gos, a girly girl to regular gos' tomboy. It's weird to see.

Even weirder is NegaLaunchpad... which I didn't evne know was going to be a thing going into this episode before Is aw some fanart when I looked up the negaverse. He's just.. not really takled about. The design is good: a slovenly post apocalypstic biker with a rat tail, the true sign of evil. Admitley I did'nt know that biker micheal liker is the opposite of pilot but it makes sense: Launchpad is classsicly heroic, so his oppisite would be modernly grungy.

Darkwing still hasn't got that maybe this isn't HIS st canard, and watches the telly with his bizzaro family... only to find out he's now public enemy #1 as Negaduck simply went to the tv station when he coudln't find darkwing and put out a bulletin. It's a clever twist too: instead of "the hero is mistaken for their counterpart while the evil version is on earth plotting" as tends to be standard, the villian just takes away the one advantage the hero has.

So Darkwing and NegaGosalyn dart away from Launchapd and his rocket launcher. Negagos... is elated to find out Darkwing exists, her negadad having told her about him, and to hav ehope.

Darkwing FINALLY gets an explination from of all people, Negatank. Here he's a politely spoken child genius, much like his positive counterpart's brother. He also gives out a heap of expositoin but given how stubborn darkwing is, he kinda NEEDS it , and the show's reality is goofy enough for this to work. Darkwing still dosen't FULLY buy it.. till he meets the muddlefoots.

YEah i'm all for leather and chains, but I did.. not want to see that on the muddlefoots and will take the neede dpercautions at seeing this

Ahhhh much better. Anyways the biker muddlelikers mistake Darkwing for his evil doppleganger, but Negahonker ruins the party and thus theyg rill darkwing.. literally. he almost dies and after commerical has been rescued along with Gos offscreen by the Friendly Four

Who Sought out Darkwing.. because if Negaduck's after him he MIGHT be able to finally stop him, as they havne't.

Darkwing is a darkwing dick and refuses to help. It's a harsh reminder to me that this darkwing.. isn't really all that heroic a lot of the time, willing to leave a bunch of people who BADLY need a hero behind simply because "can't make me don't wanna".

Thankfully we pivot from Darkwing at one of his lowest points.. to a reminder of the good person that lies beneath. Negagos.. is entirely happy to let him go, knowing his Gosalyn needs him and sees him off... and with that.. the wheels turn in his head.

He asks a question he likely knows the answer to... Who is Gosalyn's Guardian? The answer? Negaduck.

"Oh. In the Negaverse, there's never been a Darkwing Duck to guard the city... (gulp) Or a Drake Mallard to be a father. For you, Gosalyn, I'll stay."

The delivery here is amazing: Drake's voice cracks as he realizes just what hell this poor girl's gone thorugh and no matter the universe... Gosalyn is his daughter. He may be willing to abandon these people.. but he can never abandon HER. His Gosalyn has Launchpad... Negagos has no one... and he's not going to let that stand if he can help it. If this world needs heroes, if it needs to be better... then he'll MAKE it better. For her. For his daughter.

It's a truly brilliant scene, it's simple.. but the performance and just how repugntant darkwing was being seconds before really sell it: he'd leave this world behind because it's not his... but the second he realizes one of the few people in the world he cares about will be left in this hellhole.. he realizes he was wrong. It may not be his world.. but it's his responsiblity.

He sets to work traning the friendly four, giving them all his knowledge and skills, a crash course in being darkwing duck. And what also makes this work so well is like Gosalyn.. the change isn't too extreme. We've seen from the BOOM/Joe Books comics that these guys CAN at least try to change, and bushroot isn't that evil to begin with. Given the chance or the want to change.. they might have.

They simply havent which is a pity as we see here when breaking good.. their GREAT at being heroes. better than they ever were with villians. They fix a broken and toxic st canard easily, with liquidator's power clearing out the water and bushroot restoring the land. It shows just what these guys COULD be capable of, the good they could do.. if they only cared enough to do it.

They still get captured of course, though luckily a dangerous toy Negajack made frees darkwing and the Friendly Four, now all darkwinged up in proper costumes, easily clean house on the Negafoots, as Negaduck prepares to flee this dimension, deciding if he can't have it then he can just go back.

This leads to another touching moment: Darkwing.. isn't prepared to leave, as Negagos needs him.. but as before she encourages him. HIs Gosalyn needs him.. and she's not alone before. By simply staying behind, putting in the effort and helping this world.. Darkwing gave her four dads, a better world and a hope at a future. Darkwing may be egotistical, selfish and well.. a reall dick of a duck.. but it's moments like this that show beneath it all when pressed.. he will do the right thing and CAN make the world better.

We get a cool final set piece as Darkwing duels with Negaduck in the space between spaces.. and wins entirely by pulling the plug on the cosmic drain, leaving Negaduck to oblivion and Drake home.

So Drake comes home and gives Gosalyn a big hug, which she declares is a bit mushy.. but it shows that as much as they snipe at each other... he loves his daughter and is happy to be back wit hher. He also admits he "loves the muddlefoots' they may be terrible.. but at least their not trying to kill him.

Life the Negaverse and Everything is an excellent episode. While admitely the evil versions of everyone are mostly just evil, same with the good, it works better here than brave and the bold as while we still get an emotoinal moment and negagos is fun to have around, Darkwing Duck takes itself less seriously and thus the broader more sterotypical post apocalypse take on an earth 3 world works, while still giving us said emotoinal moments and nice bits of what ifs: we see what the fearsome four would be as heroes, where negaduck comes from and why as while i'ts not said it's clear he just wanted more world's to conquer and is'nt the weeping sort, and has some fun gags. It's one of the shows best episodes i've seen and I highly recommend it

Next Time: The Kids Next Door deal with the worst kind of pool party> We also FINALLY get the evil spock beard on someone. Horay!

My favorite Episode is: “Life, the Negaverse and Everything”

Mostly because I love the Negaverse itself, and what it means for the relationship between Darkwing Duck and Negaduck. I have been thinking more about this in the last couple of days.

As in, (just like tron splitted Negaduck, which is also one of my favorite episodes) Negaduck is Darkwing Duck. And I find that super hilarious. They’re the same person more than anyone else in the Negaverse. Except for Negaduck being evil there’s no real difference: Both are competent, clever, and foiled by their own ego. Not to forget the flair for the dramatic! They need to hate each other or otherwise look themselves in the mirror.

And even though Negaduck is aware of this and uses their identical appearance to create chaos and hurt Darkwing, he barely figures out who Darkwing is. Because Negaduck is too egotistical, but he too is/was Drake Mallard. It’s incredible to me that this wasn’t his first checkpoint when wanting to destroy Darkwing. But it takes stumbling onto Launchpad in an opportune moment to figure this out (in the comics).

I love it! That’s the same density and denial we know from Darkwing. The most obvious clue overlooked because his ego is too powerful to believe anyone would do it differently than him. Fantastic!

Also, I love how the Muddlefoots are a biker gang. Makes no sense but it’s amazing.

Honorable Mention: The Frequency Fiends

Love that one, too. Super powered Gosalyns would be a menace, and I love them. The idea of wave-related superpowers is really cool.

And I love that Darkwing and Megavolt team up. They could’ve been friends, I’m sure. But Darkwing has to be his stubborn self, and ruins the plan. Perfect.

I also love the last image, when the Fiends are stuck in the TV and they knock on it. As a kid, that effect of it believable coming out of my CRT-TV blew my mind!

Hey everyone!! *\(^o^)/*

Thank you for all the likes and reblogs on all my posts!!

I wanted to get a discussion going! Reply to this post with your favourite Darkwing Duck 1991 episodes with reasons!!

I’ll go first,

my favourite episode is definitely, ‘The haunting of Mr Banana Brain’. DW, Launchpad and Gosalyn all act like such a cute happy family and it is ADORABLE!!! Every scene is so cute!!!

The three of them recalling the story!!

The three of them going to the museum as a family!!!

Darkwing and launchpad being sweet to each other!!!

And let’s not forget THE PICNIC SCENE!!!! Look at them holding hands!!!

Anyways yeah, this is definitely my favourite episode!!!

[relatablepicsofdarkwingduck]

anyway here’s Negs whipping DW’s ass.

Just a random thought

If Faris D'jinn is the opposite of Dijon, and suposing the Negaverse exists in this Ducktales, where almost everything and everyone is the opposite of their counterparts...

That would mean Dijon is still Canon. NegaD'jinn anyone?

[hazel-redflower]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Negaverse episode really should’ve been a two-parter.

It’s premise (Negaduck comes from an alternate universe! Darkwing goes there! It’s revealed that Negaduck has his own Launchpad and Gosalyn! Darkwing meets the Fearsome Four’s alternative universe selves- The Friendly Four!) was wayyyy too big to set up, explore and then wrap up in only 22 minutes. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love and adore that episode -It’s my favorite!- but with so much plot and so little run time, it never really gets the chance to slow down and just... breathe for a minute. 

There’s almost no exploration (What is the Negaverse like? How do the people live? Oh sure, we’re told the answers to these questions - But the source is suspect and as the saying does go “Show, don’t Tell”) and the Nega-versions of well, everyone, are bare bones at best. (Especially Nega!Launchpad. Lol, poor guy has maybe, five speaking lines total and they all occur in a single scene! Nega!Gosalyn has more lines and she starts off strong, but she’s quickly shoved to the side once the Friendly Four enter the plot. She and Negaduck also never get a face-to-face interaction.) 

“Life, the Negaverse and Everything” has some awesome animation and one hell of a premise, but IMHO it falls pretty short in some aspects. It spawns many more questions then it actually answers. At least speculating is fun....

One of the things I really wished Darkwing Duck did was explore the Negaverse more. It was so interesting and had potential to be amazing! The characters I wanted to see more were Nega-Gosalyn and the Friendly Four. Nega-Gosalyn has four dads now and I needed to see it. It would’ve been pure fluff.

You all probably know that Negaduck is my favorite villain in the og show. He’s so interesting and I loved every episode he was in. It would’ve been great to see him in his own dimension where he rules. I remember being pretty shocked that he had his own Gosalyn-any child would be a shock. Negaduck seems like someone who would never care or even take in a child. This made me wonder if there was more to Negaduck that we’ve never seen.

I’ve seen a few people talk about this subject and their reasoning is intriguing. A few of them theorized that the toys Nega-Launchpad stole and brought to the house were for NG. It makes sense since NG would like those. Also, even though Negaduck hates cute things, he lets Nega-Gosalyn wear her dresses and be who she is. That’s what really got me believing that he cares about her.

Please note, I'm not knocking off or discouraging people from doing redesigns. I actually do like seeing some myself. This is just a theory of why I think they didn't redesign the Friendly Four when they made the episode Life, the Negaverse and Everything, which by the way, is my absolute favorite episode. So don't let my opinion discourage you or anything from being creative. These are just my thoughts.

A side from possible laziness since we were just going to see these guys once, I feel like part of it is because their designs are a little complex compared to most of the Nega counterparts . Like with the other Nega-designs, it's really easy to think of the opposite looks for them. Just make Nega Gos super girly, turn the Muddlefoots and Launchpad into a biker gang, turn NegaTank into Honker pretty much and it's pretty standard. Bottomline, they're easy to think of evil looks. I mean Negaduck himself is just Darkwing Duck recolored when you really get down to it.

With the Fearsome Four they have pretty complex designs that's kinda hard to think of what would be the opposite especially for one episode and to be fair, their designs already are pretty neutral. Their designs could work as villains and heroes. Their designs use bright colors but aren't too light either. They don't look completely evil but they don't look saintly either. QJ just looks like a stuffed animal himself, Megavolt wears a lot of light colors. Bushroot is a flower thanks to his hair and Liquidator is just water. Kinda like how Darkwing's Justice Ducks could possibly and have been villains, with exception of Gizmo Duck and Stegmutt is just too cute looking to be evil.

This makes sense because we know for the fact the rest of the Fearsome Four do have moments where they can be good. Bushroot is already more sweet and shy, he barely counts as a villain sometimes and he as well as Quackerjack and Megavolt, have helped Darkwing in saving the day in at least one or more episodes. Liquidator, well he only had his debut episode but even he is just greedy. He's not shown to go out of his way to hurt people. Just get a quick buck. I mean he did poison water especially during a rough time but it's kinda hard to judge because we don't see it actively hurting others.

I kinda like to think in terms of how this universe works is that the Friendly Four are left unchange because their counterparts have at least shown good and even helped save the day a couple times. The Fearsome Four's reasons for being evil are more personal as they feel their way of doing things is the only way to reach their goals. While in Negaduck you don't feel remorse at all. He is like Darkwing just evil. His goal is just destruction for the sake of it with the glory of being the baddest villain in both universes. You can argue that Megavolt is like this as well because he too is the most violent, same with Quackerjack but I feel this is because they're insane and not just simply because they are evil for the sake of it.

Everyone else in Darkwing's World is very much strictly on one side with Gos being sorta the exception. She's mischievous and is rough but is still kind and wants to be a hero, which is probably why her Nega counterpart is still good, just a bit girly. I guess you can say Gos is somewhat Neutral Good, while the Fearsome Four are Neutral Evil, which is why they are exceptions to the rules of the Negaverse with the Friendly Four not having their own Negaverse designs and Gos still being good in the Negaverse.

I like to think so is Neptunia and Morgana since they were once villains but not anymore so it's possible, their Nega counterparts would fall into the exception of the strict rules, with Nega-Neptunia being possibly like NegaGos and being sweeter and even gentle and Morgana's design possibly not having that much of a change.

Anyway, that's my two cents of why the Friendly Four don't have their own designs in the Negaverse and even why NegaGos is still good in the Negaverse. Feel free to leave thoughts in reblogs or messages.

What are your top 10 favorite Darkwing Duck episodes and why?

GOSH!! Do I have to choose!! That's difficult... maybe I should tell you my top three...

Let's see... for number 3, I would say Life, The Negaverse, and Everything, for number 2, I would go with both parts of Darkly Dawns the Dark, and for number 1, I would go with Time and Punishment!!

[raeloganthesonic06fangirl]

I’m surprised no one has really talked about this but

What do you think a negawarrior duck would be like

What would that mean for the fearsome five

Well, the main thing about that is that Darkwarrior exists because Gosalyn disappeared from the timeline for two decades and his pain and guilt over thier last interaction in the timeline was him being too overbearing and protective of her (as a worried father should be about his child wanting to run headfirst into danger), therefore blaming himself for losing her when she turned up missing, and he became basically Frank Miller's Dark Knight because he was determined to make the world safe for future generations at any cost, because losing Gosalyn also meant he sort of lost his moral compass as well.

For Negaduck to fall down that same chain of events, we'd have to assume that losing his Gosalyn one way or another would have triggered the same psychological response, and for that to happen, he would have been more attached to his Gosalyn than we were led to believe in "Life, the Negaverse, and Everything"

Darkwing's entire AU arc with Darkwarrior is basically what happens when you remove his main inspiration for being who he is. Gosalyn's his anchor, and he'd absolutely lose it if anything happened to her.

Since Negaduck is just Darkwing without his friends and family helping him reign in his massive ego, I'd imagine that for Negaduck to become a Darkwarrior, he'd have to REALLY get emotionally destroyed.

Negaduck simply doesn't have that sort of dynamic to work with that's been established.

Except maybe his chainsaw. 👀
