His interactions with Della and Donald were fantastic but the “Scrooge accepts his family” emotional beat has already been covered by the show. The adventure was good but not up to DuckTales’ high standards. The rest of the episode was solid but nothing much else really stood out. Not too far off from how real world evil people work, honestly.
What he’s doing is awful but he dresses it up in fancy words, letting himself off the hook with threadbare justifications. and all the ways Bradford justifies to himself he isn’t evil. Another highlight was the formation of F.O.W.L. That’ll come back to haunt her but right now she’s getting to try it out in a big way for the first time! She doesn’t think about how it’ll affect others. Della doesn’t give it much thought afterwards but we can see that Della lets the adventuring get to her head. It’s only with quick action by Scrooge that she’s saved. There’s a moment when, faced with a giant chasm between them and their goal, Della leaps forward without thinking. I'm fine with him being used for comedy sometimes, but him literally never being competent and now needing an assistant to stay on track for a second goes too far for me. I know I'm probably a minority on this, but I don't like how Glomgold is handled in this show. Scrooge tries to keep her and Donald out of his way but she won’t back down. Raiders of the Doomsday Vault Knew about 'Stand Out', but it's still cute.
More importantly though she won’t let anything stand in her way. He’ll do anything to keep his family safe.įor Della this is obviously confirmation that she wants to go on adventures for the rest of her life. He has his own odd way of showing it but it’s only because of this adventure that it become clear to him. Not the music or sticking it to the man (though he was right that we should eat the rich) but those closest to him. Watch DuckTales: S2 E13 Raiders of the Doomsday Vault on DIRECTV. It showed him what matters most in the world to him. search of a money tree seed, but Glomgold kidnaps Scrooge in order to find it first. It’s played for laughs but it comes out when it involves someone he cares about.Īnd what does Donald care more about than his sister?ĭonald gets angry (at least in that over the top Donald way) for seemingly the first time because he thought his sister died. That sounds bad but remember, in this show Donald’s anger isn’t always a negative.

While the whole grunge rocker thing never seems to lead anywhere (he can never write a full song or come up with a band name) he does unlock a key part of who he is. This is a moment that defines them and lays the groundwork for the future.įor Donald it’s a moment of clarity. This isn’t just a MORE kid-fied version of the DuckTales you know, it’s a chance to see your favorite characters experience a huge moment in their lives their first adventure.

Now normally I’m not a big fan of “what if character but they are kid/baby.” Oh sure it’s a license to print money for most franchises but it often lacks a soul. Donald’s grumpy grunge boy attitude, Della’s infectious adventuring spirit, they’re both wonderful contrasts to each other that make this episode a blast.
