Personally my favorite thing about this finale is how so much of it parallels the first episode.

2025-03-09 07:44:28 +0000 UTCThe voice box being called a Barxian modular is a reference to Carl Barxian who wrote the comics and because the audience needed to be able to understand Donald he wrote Donald talking in perfect English in written word for the audience with the understanding that he wasnβt talking clearly to the other characters. Also there was a frequent mistake in the comics where if one triplet was doing something separate from the other two on the same panel, the artists were so used to draw the triplets together that in some panels there were four of them, not three, and the accidental non-canon fourth triplet was nicknamed by fans as βPhooeyβ so your joke was actually a real thing.

2025-03-06 11:05:22 +0000 UTCOh, I don't know whether I want to get into that topic right now. Besides, I think Elijah has quite enough to deal with as is. I'm sure the furry allegations are gonna come back to haunt her sooner or later in any case. π

2025-03-06 05:01:22 +0000 UTCNot really. Beakley's voice actress also voices Mel from Arcane, who Elijah simps for. So when Beakley talks, she just hears Mel

2025-03-06 01:21:44 +0000 UTCBut isnβt she already simping for Beakley?

2025-03-06 01:16:23 +0000 UTCScrooge telling Lena that she'll have a place in his family is honestly one of my favourite moments in this show. it's so sweet. Also, Magica's shadow magic is genuinely so cool. I always love seeing the stuff people do with magic in media. Her staff is also really cool. Good design for a cool villain who is also funny lol Also Donald talking normally is... very cursed and I love it

2025-03-05 19:30:40 +0000 UTCSince it's a duck, wouldn't this be more of a feathery thing?

2025-03-05 19:13:34 +0000 UTCElijah be like "I will not simp for a duck"
Kev Rink
2025-03-05 18:18:41 +0000 UTCYes, Elijah, yes, you can't resist the dark side of the furries. π Join them. It is your destiny. (...) Seriously, though, you clearly have a thing for catgirls, a dark dommy ducky isn't that far off.

2025-03-05 17:52:56 +0000 UTCI find it interesting the difference here for how Magica relates to the Number One Dime. In the original stories, the whole gag is that she's constantly going after it because she assumes it must be something special in itself; she can't really comprehend that Scrooge has succeeded on its own merits and his attachment to the dime is purely sentimental. Whereas here, the coin itself still doesn't really have anything special to it, but the symbolic value could have allowed it to figure into a spell to destroy him and his clan. I liked that reveal for the fact that it kept the dime as something innately mundane and makes her way of going about things feel more mystical.

2025-03-05 16:25:06 +0000 UTCHeh, been waiting for so long for Elijah's reaction to Magica's crack about Lena having never been real. Got to say, I was not prepared for "quiet devastation".
Matthew Dunne
2025-03-05 16:22:32 +0000 UTCI know Magica's design in this show made a lot of people ask, "Wait, am I attracted to a cartoon duck?" Interestingly enough, the green skin is completely new to this remake, while the original version of her is more similar to how she looked after she was defeated in this episode.

2025-03-05 16:08:54 +0000 UTC"Cape Suzette" is where the boys were originally going to take the boat way back in the pilot. It's also the home of the characters from the Disney cartoon "Talespin." Catherine Tate played the best Companion against Tennant's Doctor in the modern Doctor Who series...so they had fun.
David Johnson
2025-03-05 14:21:26 +0000 UTCMagica's design is especially cool because we were earlier teased that her real self was just a three-dimensional shadow, which makes perfect sense because it was the dreamcatcher latching on to Lena's only vision of her. The reveal of Della at the end is scored with the Moon theme from the NES Ducktales game, one of the most beloved music tracks of the 8-bit era. Fantastic to see it here.
