Yay DuckTales!
Jun. 18th, 2008 09:10 amWatched some DuckTales this past day. Finally saw the episode that first introduced FOWL, which of course would later be a major evil force for Darkwing to contend with. It was a lot different on DuckTales, though, played more for laughs and run by a weirdo wanting to destroy all paper money. The whole thing was a James Bond and other spy movies parody. At the end they even parodied something else, Casablanca. LOL. But overall, I wasn't that impressed with the episode. It just didn't feel right for DuckTales. Actually, I usually don't like the episodes where Launchpad is practically the only character. And that's nothing against Launchpad, but I just think it needs some of the others too. Plus, I think FOWL was much better as a truly dangerous criminal syndicate on Darkwing's show.
Launchpad's dilemmas trying to use his comb phone are hilarious, though. XD Like, it rings right while he's with the femme fatale. "Could you excuse me a minute? I have to answer my comb ... I mean, comb my hair!" And then later he's having trouble contacting the secret organization and gets an operator who says for him to deposit 25 cents.
Launchpad: Where?! I'm talking on a pocket comb!
Operator: I'm sorry, a pocket comb is not authorized for communication by your telephone company.
Or something like that. **snerk.** Best dialogue in the episode.
Then I saw some stuff from season 2. And I know it's controversial with fans, but I LOVE the season 2 episodes and I love Fenton! I finally saw the episode where Scrooge has amnesia, or rather, all of it. I saw the second half on TV when it first aired, and all these years later, I still remembered it. I barely remembered any of the plot or the moral thrown in, but the amnesia and Fenton impersonating Scrooge stood out in my mind. It was awesome! I thought maybe the moral would be a bit heavy, as DuckTales sometimes lays 'em on thick, but it didn't come off cheesy to my way of thinking. It was perfect.
Then I watched an old favorite, the two-part Golden Goose saga. SO. MUCH. LOVE. It was just as good as I'd remembered. All the h/c, and angst, and suspense, and ... yessss. I really liked the irony of everyone's (well, Scrooge, Glomgold, and Dijon's) greed being responsible for the disaster. I remember as a kid, when I watched it I couldn't believe everyone was being turned to gold. I wondered how they were ever going to get out of the mess. It was wonderful.
I'm thinking now an RP with the scenario would be seriously fun.... Dalton or somebody could be after the goose, everyone tries to get it back, it comes to life and starts changing everything and everyone to gold, and they have to return it to its temple before there's no one left to do it!
And ... it put me in mind of my beloved statue crisis again. XD; Dang, but I love that scenario. I never get tired of reworking it to try in new RPs. And now I'm thinking of writing a ficlit where Cloud falls asleep and has a nightmare about that time ... or oooh, what if that's a scene in the fic where they're exploring the cave again? That would fit in perfectly. Yes, yes! I should seriously work on that fic. X3 And maybe I'll have some little flashbacks interspersed throughout, to kinda help anyone who hasn't read my S&M blurbs.
