#listen i'll never shut up about a dt17/pk crossover

[galactic-ducks]

Here’s a definitely-won’t-happen-but-hey-I-can-dream, post-hiatus episode:

The episode starts much like any other, with the Duck-McDuck family going on another world-trotting adventure. While on the plane to their new destination, Scrooge explains that he’s found another priceless artifact. This one is located in New Zealand, on land owned by the Maori. He’s spoken with them and they have agreed to their expedition on the condition that one of their own is present to watch over them and chronicle their adventure. Once the plane lands, Scrooge introduces them to their chaperone.

Enter Angus Fangus. 

Donald’s reaction is instant.

“You?!”

“Well isn’t this a treat? Still your uncle’s lackey eh sailor boy?”

“Still working on that Pulizter, Fangus?”

There’s a brief explanation of their hilarious sitcom-archnemesis style rivalry and lots of barbs and insults thrown around and the adventure continues on as normal. They explore New Zealand, find where the artifact is being kept, survive traps and do the normal adventure-stuff they typically do! The only change is that they now have a cantankerous guide who keeps wandering into dangerous situations that Donald has to save him from. It’s kind of like a filler episode but the dynamic that Angus brings makes it a little different and quite a bit funnier. It’s just a light and funny episode.

I think Angus would be the perfect person to herald the PKNA universe in DT17 just because his introduction could cover some key concepts very quickly without bogging down the plot. How does Uncle Donald know Angus? Oh, Angus worked for a news station inside of a building that Scrooge owned. Donald worked as a superintendent there for a while. Ducklair Tower, Channel 00, Doanld being a superintendent could be established without getting into everything else. Like a nice foundation. And the rest of the PKNA universe could be dripfed slowly over the course of seasons. Those who have read the comics know exactly what’s going on without alienating people who have never heard of PK.

That plus I’d love to see Donald and Angus duke it out on screen. I’d cackle.

Ooh, and maybe Adventurer!Donald being competent and saving Angus (he’s done it before and just looks so done with it)

And someone making a “Donald was a super- (cue Donald with a panicked look in the BG) -intendent?” (Donald looking relieved) joke in there maybe. I love dumb jokes.
