So would you say you're glad Quackerjack ended up different in the series than Tad Stones originally envisioned him?
I am absolutely happy that Quackerjack turned out totally different than what Tad Stones wanted him to be.
I mean full respect to Tad Stones, but I don’t think having QuackerJack’s personality be more like The Joker’s would have been that great of a choice.
You see, while he does have his more serious moments, Quackerjack is more so the goofy/“whatever happens, happens” type of character. And I love that about him.
And he kinda explains his own personality in the episode, “The Haunting of Mr Banana Brain” where he says to the possessed Mr Banana Brain/Paddywhack: “But Mr Banana Brain, you know Darkwing Duck always ruins things. It’s no big deal, it’s just part of the game.”.
By this quote Quackerjack tells us that to him what he does is just a fun game. He does actively try to succeed in whatever he does, he’ll even gets upset if he doesn’t win, but at the end of the day it’s just a game. And that is what I love about Quackerjack so much. He’s all about fun, it’s not that serious to him, even if the fun is a little harmful.
If Quackerjack had been what Tad Stones originally envisioned him to be like, I honestly don’t think he would have been anywhere near a favorite character of mine.
So yes. I am thrilled that Quackerjack’s personality got changed.

Yee-ahhh, this is from 5 years ago, but as I’m semi-binging the “new” DuckTales for either episodes I missed or haven’t seen since Disney XD left my cable channels…
Now I’m remembering how much epic nostalgic goodness and beautiful deep cut references there was in this series. Exhibit A, the ultra-meta clip as seen above where Darkwing Duck becomes part of the DuckTales ‘verse.

With the Disney100 celebration going on this year and the confirmation that Darkwing Duck is included in the festivities as confirmed merch drops, I really hope when the thing gets to the 90s themed stuff that maybe, just MAYBE, we finally get a QuackerJack toy.
Dude's been a character for like 31 years, and he ain't go no collectible toys. Y'know. The guy who's main schtick is toys?
The funny cartoon duck who lives and breathes toys, and hates video games... and is in like seven video games, two of those appearances of which have been released in the last five years.
I just want a QuackerJack plushie or a figurine or, heck, even a FUNKO POP FIGURE, he'd look so good with my Megavolt toys. I'll even be fine with a rubber ducky collaboration thing that squeaks when you squish him, I don't care, I just want a tangible QuackerJack object that isn't a shirt, comic, game, episode, or a postage stamp. 🥺
#rae is such a dork#darkwing duck#quackerjack#Or gimme a Mr. Banana Brain doll as a meta collectable so my knitted QuackerJack doll has his little buddy#Disney just please show this guy some love for once#Disney dropped the ball when they let a certain comic writer totally mess up his entire character arc timeline beyond the point of return#I bought all three Disney Afternoon Adventure hardcover books because they all had one (1) QuackerJack sighting each#I just want QuackerJack merch to exist it's the least he deserves

Variety Interviews Ayo Davis, Meredith Roberts And Emily Hart On Disney Television Animation's 40th Anniversary And What To Expect On From The Past, Present And Future
40 years ago, Disney TVA was founded on the heels of challenging outcomes with features “The Fox and the Hound” and “The Black Cauldron.”
Initially, Disney TVA was restricted from using established Disney legacy characters, but nevertheless had huge successes with new shows like “The Wuzzles” and “Adventures of the Gummi Bears,” both of which became popular in syndication. As time went on, DTVA was able to use its limited rights to create shows like “DuckTales” and “TaleSpin,” which featured Disney characters. Today, the slate has evolved to include shows that travel across Disney’s streaming, linear and digital platforms, including Disney+, Disney Channel, Disney Junior and the Disney Parks
Over the 40 years of the studio has collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering to bring beloved Disney Afternoon characters to the parks as well Mickey And Minnie's Runaway Railway and AquaMouse for the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure cruises from the Disney Cruise & Ships Line as well collaborating with Disney Yellow Two Shoes Team to redesing some heritage characters for the WDW Passholder Magnets.
Disney TVA characters also have gone to the realm of live action. In 2019 Disney Channel brought Kim Possible to the live action world as a Disney Channel Original Movie in 2019. In Spring 2022, Walt Disney Studios brought Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers to a new generation of fans trought a meta-driven live action/animated hybrid film which won an Primetime Emmy Award for Best Feature Film.
In April 2024, it was announced that Kiara from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride created at Disney TVA will make her live action debut on the motion capture/computer animated film "Mufasa The Lion King" with the character being voiced by Blue Ivy Carter. In Fall 2023, it was announced that Blumhouse Television and Atomic Monster where developing a live action reboot of Gargoyles for Disney+.
The future of the studio looks bright as the studio is slated to debut it's 100th show overall "StuGo" in 2025, as well new interations of beloved classics like The Proud Family, Phineas And Ferb, Sofia The First and Darkwing Duck trought revivals,reboots and spin-offs in the coming years with early talks of new interations of TaleSpin, Kim Possible and Recess since Early 2023.
“We have a wildly diverse development slate because we don’t have a house style,” says Meredith Roberts, executive vice president, television animation, Disney Branded Television and CEO of Disney Television Animation “Our styles are creator-driven, so that allows for real support of the artist or creator to fulfill his or her vision. Anything is possible, whether it's CGI. (“Monsters at Work”), hand-drawn 2D (“Big City Greens”,"Primos","Hailey's On It!"), rig-based 2D (“Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur”,"Kiff") and stop-motion (“Mickey Saves Christmas”,"Rhona Who Lives By The River".). Roberts continues, “We really try and solve all the problems and develop it. We look at the scripts and the story arcs. Every project has to have a strategy behind it that will complement the slate and separate it from other things. Each project has a distinct swim lane to attract an audience. And we’ve learned to meet the kids where they are, in terms of streaming and YouTube.”
Co-viewing, the viewership that happens when adults sit down to watch a DTVA show with the kids in their lives, is part of the studio’s secret sauce and long-term strategy. Many of the shows are written with jokes and plot points for both audiences so both groups will return.
“We double down on the kids and family space,” says Roberts. “We’re not just dipping a toe in the water. We’re diving in. I think we’ve seen a lot of churn with the competition, who just don’t have the patience to develop and are for this audience, which is a very specialized kid audience and co-view audience.” ("The Witchverse", "Rhona Who Lives By The River","InterCats","Fantasy Sports") Roberts reflects: “I think one of the things I’m most proud of is how stable Disney TVA has been for the last 40 years despite a lot of outside churn of the animation industry. Many of our crews feel that Disney is their forever home. I think the excitement they have to illustrate and create with this brand has been terrific because it’s harder to be funny and clean. And nowhere are we tearing down people to get that laugh. I think that’s the beauty of a Disney animated show.”
DTVA also sought to meet kids where they are by making their audience — which is made up of the most diverse generation in history — feel seen, with series such as “Elena of Avalor,” which featured Disney’s first Latina princess, and “The Proud Family,” franchise focused on the life of a teenage Black girl.
“We do have an amazing insights team that are constantly in the field, giving us general information about how kids are watching content, what they’re into,” Emily Hart (VP of Current and Development - Disney Junior) says. “Some of those things are evolving, as we know the ways kids consume content is changing. But there are some universal truths about kids, and it’s great to have that reinforced. Kids still like a lot of the same things that we like. So, there’s a combination that we’re always tracking with every new idea, and we do pilot testing. We get to sit down and talk about the content, and we invite our creators in so they can see the kids talking about it because they’re the audience and they’re the truest test of if the story is going to work.”
Ayo Davis, president of the Disney Branded Television and VP of Current and Development at Disney Television Animation says the division is a “driving force” for memorable kids and family entertainment.
“All of us at Disney Branded Television are so proud of the studio’s 40-year legacy as it continues to entertain future generations with shows like ‘Kiff,’ ‘Big City Greens’ and ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0" --- Davis says.
Those creators who come to DTVA often stay for a long time, partnering with the studio on a variety of different projects or expanding on a hit and reimagining it for the next generation of viewers. “The Proud Family” was a standout in 2001 on Disney Channel. Creator and executive producer Bruce W. Smith is now working on the Emmy-winning “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” which is based on the original series. The show follows Penny Proud as she navigates family life and her own childhood.
“Being at Disney TVA has allowed me to realize all my artistic dreams,” says Bruce W. Smith. “As a kid, you always have hopes, thoughts, dreams, ideas and characters that can help lay out those ideas in your head. Disney has allowed me to really tap into my creative instinct, at the end of the day, you have to learn how to trust yourself. Meredith Roberts has been a true shepherd for me in all of this, allowing me to stretch my wings. Because of her belief in me and my ideas, she’s really allowed me to blossom as an artist. All that happened at DTVA.”
“They really seem to be a place that welcomes your ideas,” Dan Povenmire says of Disney TVA. “They want to find people with real strong ideas of the stories they want to tell, and then they let them tell those stories for the most part. They seem to put storytelling and characters over anything. With [‘Phineas and Ferb’], we would write jokes for the kids and the adults in the room because we knew the adults would be there too. We were just careful not to do any double entendres.”

I love spectating on bizarre fandoms. Love to stumble upon a hitherto unsuspected community passionately dedicated to shipping the characters from, like, Darkwing Duck or Tron. Love to read meta for an early 2000s children's show that ran for two seasons.

Yeah, okay, here goes:
I think some fandom infighting would be less toxic if we a really understood that all of us are here for different reasons.
And I don’t just mean that different kinds of stories are going to be helpful for some and hurtful for others and vis-a-versa, or that different people are going to tell different stories, you know, differently, and that should do our best to let people enjoy things. I mean that, at the end of the day, there’s a spectrum of the parts of fandom people enjoy.
For example, I have a sibling who’s in some fandoms strictly for the transformative aspect of fandom. Canon is more like a jumping off point and, to some extent, an afterthought. Their primary interaction with whatever a fandom is centered on might be fanfiction and other fan works. The characters and world they interact with in those fandoms are often completely unrecognizable from canon. The goal is often to create characters—self-inserts or otherwise—to exist in completely new stories that are (vaguely) informed by canon, but not beholden to it in any way. Most everyone in that fandom has a self-insert OC or a Y/N. The whole point is taking something you like, or wanted to like, and shaping it to fit you better. That’s fandom for them. And that’s great!
And then there’s me, who’s almost the exact opposite. Canon is more of a focal point. I love seeing fanfiction and fanworks that completely veer away from canon events and characterization, I appreciate them, but I don’t like making them myself. I love to write, but I have a hard time writing fanfiction, I couldn’t write a fic-it-fix to save my life (no, not even in the highly unlikely hypothetical scenario where it turns out a lot of us are wrong and Tech is dead for real). The closest I get to fanfiction are either short little half analysis/half story blurb posts, or doodley fanart that’s either a theory for something I think could happen in the future in disguise, or silly drawings about scarves. I compartmentalize fanon, my headcanons, and actual canon a lot. And I love seeing people’s OC’s, including the self-insert ones, but I dont want to make one myself. I don’t want to be in the story, because it isn’t about me; one of the things I love most about interacting with fiction I didn’t write is that it helps me get outside my own head and see things from a different point of view. I write a lot of metas and theories, but my favorite thing is being able to look a story that’s completely told and done, and getting to tease it apart. And that’s also okay.
Now, the two points I’m using as examples aren’t really opposites; there’s a ton (A TON) of very good character analysis and interpretation in fanfiction, and there’s often (maybe even usually) transformative aspect to analysis/intepretation. And I’m betting that most people in fandom fall somewhere in the middle of the range between transformative and interpretive when it comes to what they like about fandom. A lot of people write great fanfiction and equally great meta posts, and honestly, I think being good at the one makes you better than the other. But they are different approaches to enjoying and interacting with fiction, and I think at least a little of the friction in fandom can come from not recognizing that we all often have different approaches to this fandom thing.
Edit: I need to also mention that when it comes to interpretation and analysis, there’s a lot of wiggle room for contradictory conclusions that are all equally valid. Do I think that interpretive conclusions not supported at all by the text exist? Oh boy howdy, yes. But I also think there’s a lot of space before you get there, and a lot of ways for even one person to interpret the same thing, let alone an entire fandom.
Edit 02; I should probably also acknowledge that, as a lifelong Darkwing Duck fan, I also really enjoy shows or even books where ‘canon�� is more like a loose set of guidelines or a basis premise and the whole idea of the show is to do wacky things with that premise. I’m way more likely to get involved in the transformative side of things when this is the case.

Honestly, I secretly wish that in the OG series, Drake would gradually become friendlier, earnest and modest like his reboot counterpart (but he can still be sassy! 😁). But what could lead to that character development? 🧐
Giving some sort of character arc for Drake Mallard would’ve been really good for that character honestly.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love the original Drake Mallard just as he is. But having Drake turn into someone more like his Ducktales Reboot counterpart wouldn’t have been that bad of an idea.
Now what could lead to that character development?
I think if they simply had LP and Gosalyn call Drake out on his rude and egotistical personality, and not just roll their eyes and brush it off.
Also if they had presented Negaduck as not just a guy who’s the opposite of Darkwing, but also as someone Drake possibly turn out as.
Maybe when Drake was in the Negaverse they could’ve had a scene where he found his house, and the Negaversion of LP and Gosalyn were inside with Negaduck yelling at them.
Have Drake see how LP and Gosalyn react, and have him make the connection that he will yell at them like that sometimes.
Or even have Drake find out about DarkWarrior and let Drake find some similarities between the both of them, like how he is prone to extreme exaggeration which sometimes leads him to bad consequences.
Perhaps you could let Gosalyn tell Drake about DarkWarrior.
If Drake was told by his own daughter that a future version of himself tried to kill her simply because she never did things like, clean her own room, I think that would be quite a wake up call for Drake Mallard.
Wouldn’t you say?
I really think that not having Drake Mallard compare and see a bit of himself in Negaduck and DarkWarrior Duck was hugely missed opportunity.
I think those characters had the perfect opportunities to get Drake to examine himself and have him want to better himself, for his own good and for his family.
Going back to his egotistical personality,
what Drake could do about his ego is to just have him learn to turn it into more of a self confidence thing, and not put others down in order for him to be the best.
Like in the episode, “Whiffle While You Work”, Drake actually tried to bribe his own child so that she would back out of the contest; he claimed it was to protect Gosalyn from Quackerjack (which is probably part of it), but it’s pretty clear Drake wanted to win the Whiffle Boy contest.
Gosalyn so obviously gets her competitiveness from Drake.
Have him be disappointed that she will bribe and cheat people in order to win then have him realize that he’ll do that to.
And another thing about Drake is that he’s very smart when his pride doesn’t get in the way.
He can be a very good detective as well; he’ll over complicate things, but he’s good at what he does.
So you can still have Drake be confident in himself, but let him learn to be okay with other people being more famous and better than him when it happens.
Let him learn to, as you said, become friendlier, earnest and modest along the way.
It doesn’t have to be an immediate change, it can be a gradual one.
Have him let go of the need to be the best and let him want to be a superhero to keep people safe, not to be famous.
But his sassiness he can keep. I love his sassiness.

can you imagine a darkwing Duck movie with meta humor?
I very much can because they had meta humor on the show all the time and even had an episode where they went to the human world. ^_^

Re: Your last post - Another thing that bothered me in DT17 was that Fenton was suddenly part of Team Darkwing. He seems like yet another sidekick of DW's, which makes Launchpad feel less special.
Thanks for the ask! This is a spectacular point that made me want to organize my thoughts. ♡
DT17 skewed nearly all the characters by making so many unnecessary changes and switcheroos.
Fenton in DT '87 was a poor man who had an amazing knack for counting and a wholly unmatched weird zest for life. His mom was a single mother who was depressed and left by a verbally (at least) abusive man. Fenton accidentally steals the suit, and then proceeds to roll with this opportunity to be somebody! He learns to be a hero on the go. He makes believable mistakes, like accidentally dropping the manual in a villain's car and forgetting about it because he outsmarted them at the moment.
Fenton '17 is none of the above. He's someone who wants to make a change for the greater good and calmly does things the proper way, like reading the Gizmo suit instructions and practicing them in secret. This cautious sensibility is then forgotten and he posts vital details about the suit online, because plot needs to happen.
While a reboot pretty much guarantees that characters will be different since writers, artists and the time period is different, the extent to which DT17 swapped backstories and generally made characters interchangeable is... pretty infuriating, lol.
Fenton is a hero who vies for change but is unsure on how to do so and was inspired by Launchpad.
Drake is a hero who vies for change but is unsure on how to do so and was inspired by Launchpad.
Mrs. Beakley used to be a feminine civilian character who's now a spy in this rendition.
Gandra Dee used to be a feminine civilian character who's now a spy in this rendition.
The variety of characters in the slice of life duck show with magical elements is gone!
They tried to sprinkle in dustings of the old personalities, but it's just not believable. Drake Mallard is completely smoothed out (metaphorically and literally), but then they insert his self-absorbed tendencies at random times.
OG Fenton and Drake's bond was impeccable. The writers really played around with the hilarities of having alter-egos and having to deal with each other civilly and heroically. They weren't really 'friends' in either stage. It makes sense, because at their core, Darkwing can't get along with a big-name hero because of his jealousy, and Drake can't get along with a loud, uncouth guy who was suddenly invited by Launchpad to stay over.
DT17 has the awkward "friends as civvies, one-sided rivalry as heroes." It's so weird to see Drake be positive with Fenton and then be either oblivious or delusional (depending on your interpretation) about Gizmo for no reason.
What they should have done is keep the stories separated. (This now brings up another flaw-- the kids being included in everybody else's story arc.)
Fenton becomes Gizmo on his own, and deals with his obstacles that lead to the heroic lugnut we all know and love.
Launchpad's interest in Darkwing should have been unique, and not just regarding an old fictional show. We should have been able to see LP's process of building the Thunderquack, and the gradual process of him moving to St. Canard.
Then you can have Gizmo and Darkwing meet later, and gradually show us how they fall into the role of heroic rivals! The fact that this series wasn't episodic like the old one was an edge it did not take advantage of.
Ducktales 2017 had the bad habit of including an element and not elaborating on how it began except for pointing over to the original series. Being Meta =/= Storytelling. Listing tropes and describing them in-universe is not being clever.
I'm so disappointed that it fell so short of what it could have been by trying to do so much at once.

Hi Steph! This is more of a help question if that's okay! I remember when Good Omens first came out and you were really into it I think? Sherlock/Johnlock has been my only consistent fandom for the last 6+ years, but the past month I've fallen down the rabbit hole of a new fandom and while it's super exciting having a new interest, I'm finding it hard to get back into sherlock with the same enthusiasm?? Do you have any tips so I don't lose my love for this fandom while enjoying another?? <3
Hey Nonny!
OOOF this is a good question, because the same thing is happening to me on occasion, but in a "fic" and "art" sense. I dunno, there was a awhile where I wasn't anything Sherlock-related when Moon Knight came out, but I still maintained this blog which helped keep my interest in Johnlock alive.
The thing is, unless new content (or new content to YOU) comes out, it's always bound to fade out in time; that doesn't mean you're any less a fan of that show or series, it just means you're interests changed with a new fandom, and that's okay! It's been literally decades since I was deep in the Sonic fandom, but I still consider myself a Sonic fan: I still support the brand, and I still play the games, and I'm interested in getting Netflix JUST to see the new Sonic series. Same with Kingdom Hearts, Darkwing Duck...
Don't be ashamed if you "leave" and come back in an extended while. Sometimes a break is all one needs, honestly. Even my own interests in Sherlock, these days, are limited to Fanfics and fanart, and occasional posts. Once in awhile I put my meta-hat back on and spit out a new theory post. And I'm sure if new content is ever released, I'll be right back into the thick of it all, but, like I said, *new* eventually becomes *I love this thing with all my heart, and I'll come back when I can engage even more, but my heart needs a new blorbo to obsess about*. It's gonna happen again with OFMD and Good Omens get their season 2's out.
Don't feel bad about "not having the same enthusiasm". I don't. I don't have a lot of free time these days, so if I went into full obsession mode that I was on when I was unemployed, then yeah, I would never leave my computer. I ENJOY the fandom and the people here, and that's just as good as enthusiasm, I think. Fandom feels like a warm comfy blankie now, and I honestly like it that way. <3 Just find your niche here, and soak it all in <3 It's EXHAUSTING being enthusiastic 100% of the time. Enjoyment is much more manageable, LOL <3
