ROUND #4

[smugrexx]

What’s your favorite ducktales episode and why?

Either "The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains" or "The Phantom and the Sorceress" Both of them to me personally are infinitely rewatchable (Golden Lagoon potentially more so) and they both got their great gags from Glomgold being a highlight like excessively saying that he and Goldie are dating or Gladstone trying to cope with his normal luck. Any episode with Goldie is great and I genuinely can't place my finger on why. But then again the other episode has Phantom Blot who is one of my favourites so it's a toss-up between those two and maybe "The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck."

OHHHH, I LOVE IT! ❤️💛 THANK YOU SO MUCH, OKARI! WAKING UP TO THIS WAS A GREAT WAY TO START MY MORNING! 😄

⛏️ | Outta my way, Scroogie!

Happy holidays, @violetganache42 - I hope you have a great rest of the year! 💛✨️

@duckblrsecretsanta2023 - you guys are awesome. Thank you for putting this event together!

Can we just talk about the Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains for a moment?

And why just one line above all makes me go absolutely feral?

Specifically...this line:

Let's just fangirl over this for a moment shall we? Scrooge...Scrooge McDuck just offered to pay for anything...anything Goldie wants. And he'll only buy himself discount mustard, a knife and some buckskin boots.

Which is super easy to gloss over until you remember that this is Scrooge McDuck. Who is so tight-fisted it's a key part of his personality. It's a point even made at the start of the episode when he steals food from the buffet because it's free.

And you could, could argue that DT17 Scrooge isn't like that. Except... when you take into account this interaction in S3E14: Escape from the ImpossiBin!

He won't buy his family lunch unless they risk their lives but will buy anything Goldie O'Gilt needs.

[scrooges-greasy-toes]

This is certainly the messiest one I’ve done so far. God I love Scroldie and Goldie and Louie and Goldie have I mentioned that I love Goldie?? Btw I love Goldie. They should let her take her pants off more often. (In other words I wish they put more effort into making her look like a duck and not just a woman with a bill.)

Bonus from The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!:

HANDS OFF FUCKFACE

GET YOUR HAND OUTTA THERE OR IMMA THROW MY HANDS IN YOUR FACE YA SLIMY BASTARD

Haha get wrecked Glomdick Scrooge would never touch Goldie like that without her consent and that’s why your a villain and he’s not.

[scottpetersen]

After reading @godfrey-the-chaos-duck’s A Matter Of Pride fanfic which portrayed Goldie as someone who supports the LGBTQIA+ community despite the time she grew up in and Scrooge as someone who is bi, I started to realize that there are probably a couple reasons why both Goldie’s and Scrooge’s canon counterparts would support the LGBTQIA+ community despite the time they grew up in. After all, Scrooge and Goldie don’t seem like the type of people who allow the world to tell them what to do or what to believe considering that, as shown in the episode ‘The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck!’, both Scrooge and Goldie are very passionate individuals who don’t let anything stop them when they’re set on a course. Plus, given that, as stated in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’, both Scrooge and Goldie have travelled to other dimensions where time passed differently compared to Earth, there’s a good chance that one of those dimensions was a place where LGBTQIA+ pride was fully normalized. And given that time probably flowed differently there, Scrooge and Goldie probably spent such a long time there that they got used to it and grew to immensely despise anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs with a furious passion.

ROUND #5 [SEMIFINALS]

[lettheladylead]

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

[shychick-52]

Louie in season 1 ('The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains'): Oooooh, Scrooge has a girlfriend!! 😃

Louie in season 2 ('The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck'): Ugh, gross! Old people romance!! 🤢

[alex31624]

I've been big in the horror genre recently. Last night, I watched Saw I & II for the first time with my friends J and L. J has been a big influence in me getting into horror movies. L can't really stand horror, but he handled it. Funny thing, between the films, we cheered up with some DuckTales, The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains! and Jaw$!.

I made L watch DuckTales a little while ago, those were the next in line for him to watch. J's not really into, but he liked both episodes. Next morning, aka this morning, J and me watched Rec. L bailed out. Very good movie. Before leave, I talked him into watch one more Duck's episode. We watched The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!

J seems to like the Webby/Lena combo, who wouldn't?

Little by little, I'm trying to get my friends hook in the Ducks.

What is your favorite Ducktales (2017) episode please? 😊 ❤️

From Season 1: The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains

Season 2: The 87 Cent Solution & The Duck Night Returns

Season 3: Astro BOYD & Let’s Get Dangerous

[icantthinkofgoodnameoranything]

So you know how in DT17 Scrooge idolises Finch after reading her book? What if we had the same thing but with Glomgold and Pothole?

like Duke Baloney after Scrooge underpays him reads “Master of The Mississippi and gets inspired, or he even read it before then!!! And he models his life and personality after Pothole!!

Even the flashback in “The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains”’had a similar artsyle/vibe to the illustrations in Pothole’s book!!! And I bet the plot of issues were similar to Glomgold’s schemes.

[thecrusadercomrade]

Thoughts on Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains? How was Goldie? How do you like Scrooge and Goldie's interactions? How was Glomgold's role as a threat to both Scrooge and Goldie? How funny were Beakley (Seems she has some bad history with Goldie), Huey, Dewey, and Louie's reactions to Scrooge and Goldie?

I get the feeling that Goldie is meant to be endearing with how she constantly stabs Scrooge in the back, but betrayal of trust is something that really raises my hackles, so I didn't really appreciate her character the way I was probably supposed to XD.

They certainly make for quite the interesting pair!

This could change in the future, but so far Glomgold is definitely more of a joke villain than an actual front. Aside from the first few episodes, nothing he does ever comes even close to going well.

Beakley and Webby got a bit nerfed this episode, or else Goldie is just THAT good. I would've expected them to put up more of a fight against her.

They really fulfilled the role of annoying younger relatives in this one XD. It's probably not something they get to do often, so I can forgive them for going all out.
