[scrooges-greasy-toes]

ooooooooooooh THIS.

Getting to the end of dt17, and I’m going crazy over this impending doom. It is becoming ever more clear that the duck family are NOT THE GOOD GUYS. It’s been iv dripped to us the whole time. The property damage has been brought up, and brushed off. The whole “playing in to the bad guy” role during The Rumble For Ragnarok being not so different from how Scrooge is regularly. Bradford’s remarks about perspective at the end of Let’s Get Dangerous. Just… all the little details in the series, masked by the blatant overpowering themes… trust, working together, all the little episode lessons that have been leading up to THIS. And yet Scrooge is still greedy. He’s selfish. But the writers have been revving up to tackle this. The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades used Goldie as a foil, showing how Scrooge has grown and come to have a sound moral compass, compared to how he “used to be”. They’re not the ducks they used to be, after all. This gets me extra excited for ep.22, The Life and Crimes of Scrooge McDuck. I have ten episodes left to watch. They WILL tackle Scrooges character and his development. He will be punished for what he’s done. But what happens to his family? His friends and allies? After all, it’s Dellas fault the moon invaded, isn’t it? (At least from an outside perspective, it is.) Most, if not all the family has caused massive damage, it’s not just Scrooge. And it’s not for nothing that it’s pointed out in Escape from the ImpossiBin that Scrooges allies are the most “dementedly dangerous minds”. Dewey himself says it. “Is it weird that the most ‘dementedly dangerous minds’ are all friends of ours?” Even if we ignore Gyro, it is true. The Duck family and its allies have SINNED. I have never been more excited to see a series pan out. I get more anxious with every episode, every hint. The Duck Family’s disregard for others wellbeing’s will be the thing that opens the door to tackling their selfishness.

I’m so terrified of the end. In order to mend their selfishness, they need to put others first. Which, essentially, means an end to adventuring. Every attack on the city is because of them. We know this. And yes, they may fix it, but that doesn’t mean they’re not responsible for the damage they caused while doing so! The only way to stop this cycle is to end the adventures. Cease taking the risks. Scrooge won’t go down easy, but it will happen. After all, this show has been about the end this whole time. Fountain of the Foreverglades makes us see Scrooge no longer values the profit of the adventure over his family. And some of the nostalgic themes… at the end of the Trickening, when the photo of them is shown looking so old, in the worn out house I cried. Why that nostalgia and ache for the past if we’re not building up to the end itself?

The parallel of the lines “You loved gold more than you loved me.” in The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains and “We love gold more than we hate each other!” in The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck make me go sooo insane. I wish they had included another version of it in The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades.

it wouldve been very nice to hear the word love between them again just to make us go crazy, but forbidden fountain did have a lot of other very nice things

Compare/Contrast of Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws And Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt

Ok. Here I’ll be doing a compare/contrast between Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws and Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt. It occurred to me that those 2 duos have quite a bit in common but are also a bit different. Also, Spoiler Alert for the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie and the DuckTales (2017) TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

Both members of both duos were in love with each other but they also had trust issues. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws were in love with each other but they had trust issues since Puss didn’t show up for his and Kitty’s wedding. And as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt were in love with each other but they had trust issues since during all their previous encounters, Goldie would usually stab Scrooge in the back. Another similarity between them here is that both duos were able to overcome their distrust during an encounter that had something to do with prolonging a person’s life. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there was the encounter they had while searching for the Wishing Star which Puss wanted in order to restore his other 8 lives as also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie where Puss eventually put his desire for the Wishing Star aside and even offered it to Kitty. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there was the encounter they had while searching for the Fountain Of The Foreverglades which Scrooge and Goldie wanted in order to stay young as shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’ where, after realizing that would mean taking other peoples’ youth away, Scrooge put his desire for it aside and Goldie later followed suit when she sacrifice the youth she gained from it to save Scrooge. The difference between them there, though, is whether one or both of them wanted to prolong their lives and how their desire for it could’ve effected their relationship. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, only Puss wanted the Wishing Star to prolong his lives and tried to use it for himself to do so which almost resulted in Kitty severing all ties with him since she figured that meant that Puss still loved himself more than he loved her. As shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, both Scrooge and Goldie wanted the Fountain Of The Foreverglades to stay young forever since, as Goldie said: “We spent our whole lives at each other’s throats, Scroogey. But what if we can do it over again knowing everything we know now, avoiding the same mistakes. This is our chance at a fresh start.” So, in the case of Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, one of them almost pushed the other away to prolong his life whereas, in the case of Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, both of them at first wanted to prolong their lives to live with each other forever.

Both duos have a member who really loves adventure. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there was Puss In Boots who, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, got really excited while he was fighting several guards and also a rampaging giant. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there was Scrooge McDuck who, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, got really excited while he was fighting to help get the Papyrus Of Binding. Another similarity between them there is that both Puss In Boots and Scrooge McDuck, for a time, quit adventuring after a traumatic event. As also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss, for a time, quit adventuring after his ninth and last life was almost ended by Death themselves. And as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge, for a time, quit adventuring after, as shown in the episode ‘The Last Crash Of The Sunchaser!’, his niece Della Duck was lost in space. The difference between them there, though, is that Puss quit after he almost lost his last life whereas Scrooge quit after he lost a loved one. Another difference between them here is what got them back on their feet in the end. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss overcame his fear of death by facing off against Death themselves and learning to not take his life for granted. And as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge got back on his feet after his great nephews motivated him to go out adventuring again and also, as shown in the episode ‘The Shadow War Part 1: The Night Of De Spell!’, Scrooge later finally overcame the trauma from the loss of his niece after Lena made him realize just how amazing his family is and to not push them away. Another similarity between them there is that they both, along the way, learned to not push the people around them away. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss learned to not push the people around him like Kitty and Perrito away. And as I already pointed out, Scrooge learned to not push the people around him like his family away. The difference between them there is what this had to do with their adventures. As also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Puss was so caught up with himself and his adventures that he didn’t show up for his and Kitty’s wedding. And as also shown in the episode ‘The Shadow War Part 1: The Night Of De Spell!’, Scrooge was so depressed in the aftermath of losing his family that he couldn’t take care of his home let alone go out adventuring. So, Puss was too caught up with his adventures to focus on the people around him whereas Scrooge was too caught up with losing his family to focus on his adventures.

Both duos had a member who is a very skilled thief. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there’s Kitty Softpaws who, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, snuck into Big Jack Horner’s factory and was able to swipe the map to the Wishing Star from Puss In Boots in the middle of a fight. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there’s Goldie O’Gilt who, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, outwitted Scrooge McDuck and Flintheart Glomgold and took the liquid gold from the Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains. Another similarity between them is that they both had problems that had something to do with trustworthiness. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Kitty had a lot of trouble trusting others which is why she wanted to make a wish with the Wishing Star to finally have someone she can trust. And as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge had a lot of trouble trusting Goldie due to her constantly stabbing him in the back. The difference between them there, though, is that Kitty had trouble trusting other people whereas Goldie had trouble being trusted by other people. Another similarity between Kitty and Goldie is that they both also crossed paths with a young kid who they formed a bond with and took under their wing despite their problems with trustworthiness. For Kitty Softpaws, there was Perrito as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie where Kitty eventually befriended Perrito despite her being initially skeptical about his trustworthiness. And for Goldie O’Gilt, there was Louie Duck as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’ where Goldie put herself at risk to save Louie despite initially stabbing him in the back and also where Louie, in turn, saved her despite his own doubts about her motives. The difference between them there is that Kitty looked past her trust issues to befriend Perrito whereas Goldie looked past her selfishness to save Louie which caused Louie to look past his distrust to save her in turn. Also, another similarity between them there is that they both taught them how to con and trick others. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Kitty helped teach Perrito how to do cute puppy dog eyes just like how her and Puss do their cute cat eyes. And, as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’, Goldie helped teach Louie how to expose other peoples’ cons in order to gain another person’s trust. The difference between them there, though, is what Perrito and Louie used those skills for. As also shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito used those skills to distract Jack Horner since he just wanted to help Puss and Kitty whereas, as also shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’, Louie used those skills to try to get Doofus Drake’s gift bags along with Goldie since he wanted to get rich quick. I’ll be going over Perrito and Louie more in my next point. Speaking of which…

Both members of both duos had an encounter with a young kid who they practically took in and who accompanied and helped them on their adventures. For Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws, there’s Perrito who, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, helped Puss and Kitty find the Wishing Star and the 3 of them formed a team called Team Friendship. And for Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt, there’s Louie Duck who, as shown in the episode ‘Woo-oo!’, Scrooge took in and who started accompanying Scrooge along with the rest of his family on adventures and also who, as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’ and as I already pointed out in my previous point, Goldie took under her wing and formed a bond with. The difference between them here is what kind of outlooks Perrito and Louie generally had. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito had a pretty optimistic outlook and he was also a bit oblivious even during some dire situations whereas, as shown in the episode ‘The Most Dangerous Game…Night!’, Louie had a pretty pessimistic outlook and he was also pretty smart to the point that he was able to “see all the angles” in a situation. Another similarity between them is that, in the case of both duos, Perrito and Louie respectively helped them look past their differences and work together in some way shape or form. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish, Perrito counseled Puss about what happened between him and Kitty which caused to see how selfish and cowardly he was for not showing up for his and Kitty’s wedding. And, as shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, seeing Louie trapped helped get Goldie to turn around and help Scrooge when she could’ve just escaped with the youth water. The difference between them here is that Perrito helped Puss and Kitty knowingly whereas Louie helped Scrooge and Goldie inadvertently. Another similarity between them is that both Perrito and Louie helped Puss and Scrooge respectively become more humble. As shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito’s friendship and aforementioned counseling with Puss helped Puss realize that despite his legendary status as a brave hero, he was actually a coward for not showing up for his and Kitty’s wedding since he was afraid of what committing to someone might mean for his status as a legend. And as shown in the episode ‘The Richest Duck In The World!’, when Louie got the Bombie to stop attacking by learning to be humble, it helped Scrooge be more humble too since he then lifted the Bombie’s curse off himself. The difference between them there is that Perrito helped teach Puss the lesson about humility whereas Louie and Scrooge both learned the lesson about humility together. Also, one more difference between them is that, as shown in the Puss In Boots The Last Wish movie, Perrito is perfectly content with his life just the way it is which is why he didn’t have a wish he wanted to make with the Wishing Star whereas, as shown in the episode ‘Storkules In Duckburg!’, Louie wasn’t completely content with his life which is why he wanted to become rich.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

DuckTales Season 3 Episode 11 "The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades" has strong Tuck Everlasting vibes.

Both stories revolve around a mystical water source that extends people's lives but comes at a heavy price.

Scrooge and Goldie's excitement about having their youth restored is probably exactly the same as the Tucks' reactions when they figured out they were immortal.

Ponce de Leon is the Man in the Yellow Suit, intent on controlling access to the water, willing to force its effects on others if necessary, and tempting others to join in his business scheme.

Scrooge and Winnie must both decide whether to use (or allow others to use) the water to stay young after learning what it costs.

"We may not be young forever ..." "... but we can make the most of the time we've got." That is essentially what Winnie learns from the Tucks.

DT timeline from fowl (theory/headcanon)

In the early 60's Bradford was still young with a full head of hair, met and teamed up with black heron, making f.o.w.l…

Some time a little later in the mid 60's Heron tried to get the formula for gummi-berry juice, meanwhile Scrooge just joined s.h.u.s.h. as a new philanthropist, he and Beakley beat Heron, and Bradford must have just found out his partner in crime just got defeated by those two.

Scrooge's big Christmas party probably happened in the late 70's that would be a whole new decade later for him to age into the state we see him at the Christmas party where he and Scrooge apparently first met face to face.

Ludwig Van Drake got kidnapped by f.o.w.l. sometime after the 70's or at least some time after the Christmas party. If they had the stone of what was at the time and didn't lose it yet. It would be very easy to fake someone's death by just leaving a lifeless clone of that person to be found. Before being kidnapped, he still trusted Bradford enough at the time for Bradford to easily lure him somewhere to capture him.

 Later in the early 90's is when Donald and Della come to stay with Scrooge and "The First Adventure". After which Bradford becomes Scrooge's new CFO, and starts his 30 year plan to get the papyrus of binding back. 

 Then either that year or some other year after that Dewy time travels back to meet his mom and uncle as kids for Christmas.

Around 2006, Scrooge built the Spear of Selene and Bradford told Della about it, basically instigating the Spear of Selene fiasco.

Beakley attempted to shut down f.o.w.l. once and for all but finds a baby duckling who she named Webby and goes into hiding at McDuck manner. This is possibly also when f.o.w.l. lost the Stone of what was. 

Possibly after that, Bradford causes Duckworth's death, either directly or indirectly.

August 12, 2017, the triplets meet their uncle Scrooge for the first time.(DuckTales 2017 officially started)

September 23, 2017, "The great dime chance!" 

April 2018, "The Beast in the Board Room!"

July 7, 2018, Black Heron made a second attempt at recreating gummi-berry juice but was stopped by Webby. 

August 11, 2018 "the last crash of the sunchaser!" 

August 18, 2018, Magical DeSpell was released, The Shadow war happened. Then Magica lost her magic. 

September 2018, "Countdown to Termination!"

December 24, 2018, "Last Christmas!" takes place. 

 May 13, 2019, Della returned to earth and reunited with (most) of her family. 

September 9, 2019, Timephoon.

September 11, 2019, Louie became the richest duck in the world. Bradford tricked him into releasing the zombie bombie, where Louie ended up cutting the funding to McDuck's satellites before giving the wealth back to scrooge.

September 12, 2019, The Moonvasion happened. And after that ended f.o.w.l. came back "from the shadows". 

April 4, 2020, the ducks found the lost journal of Isabella Finch. And f.o.w.l. was watching them.

April 4, 2020, "Quack Pack!" the ducks found the lamp of Alli Babah.

April 11, 2020, "Double-O-Duck in you only crash twice" the Intelli-ray was invented using the Third Eye Diamond.

April 18, 2020, The lost Harp of Mervana was found.

 September 21, 2020, "The Phantom and the Sorceress", Magica got her magic back.

 October 12, 2020, The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades was found by the ducks.

October 19, 2020, "Let's Get Dangerous!" Bradford got outed as the leader of f.o.w.l.

October 26, 2020, Bradford distracts the Ducks as f.o.w.l. steals all the missing mysteries that were found.

November 2, 2020, the split sword of Swanstantine was recovered by the ducks from f.o.w.l.

November 23, 2020, the blessed bagpipes of clan McDuck was recovered by the Ducks.

March 1, 2021, The Ducks recovered the stone of what was, but f.o.w.l. was able to get back a piece of it.

For my very first poll I have decided to do something that requires more than 10 options/choices and because there can only be one poll per post there will be multiple posts that all have to do with the same poll. This poll will be about which DuckTales (2017) episode you consider to be the best in the entire series. So if the episode you consider the best isn’t on this particular poll, don’t worry because there will be multiple posts that may have the episode you’re looking for on there. All the episode polls will end around the exact same time. Even though there will be multiple posts with a poll dealing with which DuckTales (2017) episode you consider to be the best, please treat this as a single poll and vote for one episode only. For example if the episode you’re looking for is here and you voted for it on this poll, please don’t go to the other posts to vote for an episode that’s on that poll. Have fun! 😊 ❤️ 🦆

Ducktales day. The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades. Scrooge and Goldie episodes, what do you think of that ship, the pairing of "good" one and grey mortal one that they always seem to trust . Pounce De Loen stealing youth to making himself young.

It's a fairly classic dynamic at this point, though I have to admit it frustrates me when characters like Goldie constantly take advantage of the trust and forgiveness of others. Makes it hard to see her as sympathetic.

What a monster. Apparently he's based on a real life colonial guy as well, so perhaps it's not a surprise that he's like that. I can't even imagine how many people he's killed over the years, or at the very least drained the youth from. It might be one of the darkest things in the show so far if you think about it.

[saltedsolenoid]

despite my love and appreciation for scrooge and goldie's relationship, i honestly don't like it quite as much in the episode "the forbidden fountain of the foreverglades" just because half of the charm is that it's an old people romance. they should be poking fun at each other's wrinkles and admiring how much the other has grown more beautiful despite the fact that they haven't changed in 50 years! still love it though.

also teenage-ified scrooge serves so much gender. look at this shit

also goldie's in the screenshot because i like how her hair looks. also gender envy

[paranormaltheatrekid]

I know that this is a starkid blog but here are the examples I can name off the top of my head alone:

-Season 1 Episode 1 Woohoo

-Season 1 Episode 22 The other bin of Scrooge McDuck

-Season 2 Episode 19 A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill

-Season 3 Episode 11 The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades

I’ll admit, the first time I saw the series finale of dt17 I totally thought that the big plot twist was random. But now that I’m on rewatch 45 they put that foreshadowing everywhere!!!!

[lettheladylead]

Just realized something about the Scroldie - centered episodes, uhh

• The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!

- Perfectly comfortable with each other; no blushes.

•The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck!

- Decent amount of time after Dawson; tiny blushes.

•The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades!

- TEENAGE HORMONES; LOTS OF BLUSHES.

LMAO yup they get more cutesy every ep

Why I Think Bradford Buzzard And Black Heron Are Evil Reflections Of Scrooge McDuck And Goldie O’Gilt

Ok. Here I’ll be going over my thoughts on why I think Bradford Buzzard and Black Heron are pretty much evil reflections of Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt by going over their similarities as well as their differences. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

First off, both duos have a member who tried to get the other to see things their way. For Scrooge and Goldie, there was Goldie who, as shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, tried to get Scrooge to use the Fountain Of The Foreverglades to stay young forever along with her. And for Bradford and Black Heron, there was Black Heron who, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, tried to get Bradford to embrace his evil side. The difference between them here is whether or not Scrooge and Bradford accepted what Goldie and Black Heron were offering. As also shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, Scrooge decided to refuse Goldie’s offer to stay young forever in the end. And as shown in the episode ‘The Last Adventure Part 3: Tale’s End…’, despite Bradford saying he’s not a villain, the truth is he actually is one partly because he was gonna throw Donald Duck into a vortex that would obliterate him from existence.

Also, both duos have a member who is a bit more irrational than the other. For Scrooge and Goldie, there’s Goldie who, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, lit a trail of gunpowder she left in order to distract Scrooge despite Scrooge saying that it could cause a cave-in that will get them both killed. And for Bradford and Black Heron, there’s Black Heron who, as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, wanted to use the Papyrus Of Binding despite Bradford’s warning that even the slightest miss-wording could be catastrophic. The difference between them there, though, is under what circumstances their disagreement about that usually take place in. As shown and stated in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Goldie and Scrooge were a couple of treasure seekers looking for treasure. And as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Bradford and Black Heron were a couple of villains out for world domination. Speaking of which…

Both duos have a member who is more rational than the other. As shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’ and as I pointed out in my previous point, there’s Scrooge who tried to warn Goldie that lighting that trail of gunpowder she left behind would cause a cave-in that would get them both killed. And as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’ and as I also pointed out in my previous point, there’s Bradford who tried to warn Black Heron that even the slightest miss-wording on the Papyrus Of Binding could be the end of them. And just like in my previous point, the difference between them here is that as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, Scrooge and Goldie were a couple of treasure hunters looking for treasure whereas as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Bradford and Black Heron were a couple of villains out for world domination.

Both members of both duos were once on different before joining forces. As shown and stated in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, Scrooge and Goldie were at each other’s throats quite a lot before they seemed to reconcile and Goldie returned Isabella Finch’s Journal that she took. And as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Bradford was once part of a heroic organization called SHUSH while Black Heron was a villain. The difference between them there, though, was who joined which side. As shown in the episode ‘The Forbidden Fountain Of The Foreverglades!’, Goldie joined the light side by returning Isabella Finch’s Journal that she took from Scrooge. And as shown in the episode ‘The First Adventure!’, Bradford joined the dark side by helping to found an evil organization called FOWL.

Overall, these are the reasons why I think Bradford Buzzard and Black Heron are evil reflections of Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O’Gilt.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.
