![NOSFERATU - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nulvWqYUM8k/mqdefault.jpg)
“Old girlfriend” is synonymous with “ex girlfriend”, but with the implication of a well-handled breakup.
Of course, Launchpad is a fool not a jerk.
Sad it got clipped off, but Donald screaming "We're all gonna die, I've wasted my life!" is honestly such a mood.
That's A Mood, Gabriella!
Also, Webby in the hotel room: "Guys! Try this! It feels like you're falling but you're not!"
Big nope.
Launchpad is just duck-flavored Kronk. A super competent himbo optimist whose screw ups are the thing people focus on while missing just how competent he is. Yeah, he crashes a lot of planes, but he can also fly a plane in circumstances no sane person would ever survive.
One element of his original character that I love, but don't remember if was ever explicitly stated in the reboot, is how Scrooge keeps him around specifically because he's one of the only pilots who's willing to go along with the crazy adventures the family partakes in. That his reckless flying is why he is hired, not in spite of it.
@@RasmusVJS In the reboot, Scrooge does say something like "Where else am I gonna find a driver/pilot as crazy as you" or something in one of the episodes as a compliment. So yeah, he appreciates Launchpad's unique abilities.
Also could pilot a sub flawlessly without any training
He's also apparently bi or pan since when asked how many girlfriends he's had, the creators instead replied he's had many significant others.
I love this comparison. Kronk is one of the best "villains" ever😂
Come on! Give him a chance. Launchpad isn't a bad person. A distracted driver, sure, but he's a cinnamon bun. Everyone loves him for other reasons! You'll see.
Just a big stupid cinnamon bun
@@Lilbean-2728 I prefer the word silly. Thank you very much
"Who gets stuck with all the bad luck, no one but Donald Duck."
Exact thing that went through my mind while watching this
Oh wow. That took me back. I didn't even speak English back when I last heard that Intro, yet somehow I recognized it here. And now I finally know what the lyrics actually mean.
I love how immediately invested you get in Launchpad plot only for it to be all offscreen.
Gladstone Gander is written pretty inconsistently in the comics. Most of the time he's a hedonist who lavishes in the wealth he's gained from his luck and loves showing off, but sometimes you get stories where he's fed up with his supernatural fortune and wants to get rid of it so he can live a normal life. I feel like this episode is supposed to show a little bit of both characterisations, using a being that feeds on luck as a plot device to make his luck a problem right now, but not permanently.
One of my favorite old episodes he was in, had Magica using him to steal Scrooge's Dime. Gladstone then got to experience what it was like to live without his luck for at least a day.
In the original comics, most of the characters find him super-obnoxious, whereas in the 80s version of DuckTales, everyone loves him; this one definitely splits the difference, with the kids initially being taken in by his flashiness only to eventually see him for the phoney he is, and whilst he was trapped because his supernaturally good luck couldn't just get him out of the situation, he never ends up having to learn anything because the universe just comtinually gives him whatever he wants all the time.
@@radicaladz Yeah; he's not a villain, and not even a real antagonist in any deliberate way, but Adz speaks truth; no one wanted Gladstone Gander around. He wasn't simply spoiled by his luck, but completely detached from reality, on some levels, due to it being ever present in his life. Arrogant and oblivious. Prone to looking down on others.
@@Babbleplay - and incapable of adapting or applying life skills when his luck fails him, as the episode makes clear. More on that later.
@@radicaladz True, but his luck failing was only an occasional plot line. Usually he just showed up to be obnoxious for a page or two. He was rarely plot centric.
Just to make the family connection clear, Gladstone Gander is Donald's paternal first cousin, and a popular character in Disney comics. And there's been plenty of explanations as to how he got his infuriatingly good fortune. Some say he was born under a lucky star, In many of the Italian comic books stories, Gladstone is bestowed with his luck because Fortuna, the goddess of fortune, is in love with him. And I one story, Gladstone was born on the day of his mother Daphne's birthday in 1920, under the protection sign of the Triple Distelfink, thus inheriting his mother's luck. Either way, he doesn't really have any ambitions or real achievements, so his lucky life is still a hollow one.
Yeah, and his character is very inconsistent in all of them.
You got the family tree mixed up. Gladstone is Donald's paternal first cousin. Scrooge is the one that is Gladstone's family by marriage, as he's Donald's maternal uncle.
@@gamerfreak42 Oy, the lore behind the Disney Ducks is very hard to keep track of.
Ah, the gag of Launchpad McQuack having freaking epic adventures off-camera. I think it happens another couple of times, is comedy gold xD
Fun fact: In the original 1987 DuckTales, Donald Duck wasn't allowed to be in the show all that much due to his character being involved in other projects (he only made a few appearances in Season 1 as a guest character but never reappeared in later seasons) so the 2017 DuckTales crew made sure to make up for that by actually having him be around as a majorly re-occurring secondary character throughout the whole show's life.
To be frank, I honestly do adore this show for how they handle Donald Duck because, since the biggest theme of the show revolves around family, the team behind the show actually gives Donald Duck the respect he deserves for being the surrogate father to his nephews due to their parents (more importantly, Donald's sister) was always absent/missing in all films, shows, and games (as well as...MOST comics). Like, no matter what other things he's been a part of, he's always been the one we see taking care of the triplets (with help from either Scrooge and the DuckTales character or with Daisy) so I'm glad we actually get to see Donald and the kids bond they way they do in this show.
There's a similar thing that happened with the DC/Timmverse animated shows in the 00s and the various live action shows produced for CW and others - basically, from the third season of Justice League aka JLU s1 onward, all the main Batman villains got shunted into the background and weren't allowed to appear even in scenarios where it might make sense; it was informally known as the Batembargo, and it literally only existed because the film division of WB essentially called dibs on all the Batman stuff whilst they were developing what would become the Nolan trilogy. It even affected stuff like Smallville and the Arrowverse shows like when they introduced Task Force X and then had to cut half the members they planned to use because of the first Suicide Squad film - apparently didn't want to 'confuse' audiences, but all it did was end up forcing certain shows to not use characters or hastily write out ones they already introduced.
Donald still ends up being kind of tertiary in season 1 of the reboot, but he at least gets some focus episodes.
While it’s unfortunate he didn’t get more appearances, Donald is absolutely held in regard by the creative team as episodes like this demonstrate.
"Smarter than the smarties" after all. 😁
Who has the sweetest disposition?
One guess that’s who
Who never ever starts an argument?
Hm?
Who never shows a bit of temperament?
Who’s never wrong but always right?
Yeah?
Who never dreams of starting a fight?
That’s so?
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
No one
(Donald scream)
But Donald Duck
Yeah
That's the best song ever and my daughters call my truck Donald duck for that very reason
I really like gander. Just the random "hey twenty dollars" and the like was always fun to me.
Donald is my favorite character from the OG Disney Crew (Mickey, Donald, Goofy, etc), and Louie's line of "You never had the common sense to give up before, why start now?" encapsulates why. He's very flawed, and has a heckuva temper, but he's one of the most tenacious characters in all media and I respect and admire him for it.
Yup, that is the same reason why Donald Duck is huge in my home country, Finland. He captures very well what Finnish 'sisu' is all about; getting back every time no matter what happens. Pushing trough a solid rock wall if that's what it takes.
And he is also just an interesting character with so much depth, where as characters like Mickey Mouse are just these good guys who always win at the end because they just are that good. They have no flaws, they are unrealistic and mpossible to relate to.
dude same, Donald is that one character you cant help but want to cheer on when shit hits the fan because you know that despite how much of an underdog they seem their persistence and resilience will see them through even the worst of times.... plus i kind of vibe with him on the whole "my life has been nothing but bad luck, i have to work hard to dig myself out of hole number 23,675".
Non spoiler Louie doesn’t say Donald is the coolest Uncle because the triplets see him as a father even though they call him uncle
Something I love about this show is how it structures the plot. Yes, the major season arcs are more spread out, plot lines get introduced, then put on hold, but the show never feels empty. It’s remarkably consistent in its characterization and development, and barely any loose threads get ignored.
You do really get the sense that life IS like a hurricane with the Duck/McDucks.
Gladstone is voiced by Paul F. Thompkins, perhaps best known as Mr. Peanutbutter in Bojack Horseman. And I very much appreciate how clear it's made that his and Donald's respective luck is an actual, literal thing rather than just random coincidence like so many shows would do. This episode also introduces the thing that really makes Launchpad work despite the often irritating reliance on him being impossibly dumb: the implication that he occasionally goes through these epic adventures offscreen, and we only get the barest hints about them because he's not one to brag at all.
I mostly know him from The Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast, where he plays Frank Doyle, but he has done voice acting roles in a lot of animation, and minor parts in live action
Thompkins is hilarious in basically everything. He's also the Emcee from Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny.
In a world where magic is real, the idea of luck being a literal supernatural force makes much more sense.
Gladstone is also related to Donald by his mother being the sister of Donald and Della’s dad… so apparently ducks and geese can procreate in the Disney Duckverse.
@@borjankosarac3645 Avian-ish humanoids generally seem good to go, yeah. No word on if they can procreate with dogforms or the others.
One of my favorite episodes. I live how Scrooge is so calm at the end and just does "3...2...1"
And Is Just Ready.
Gladstone has supernatural good luck.
Donald has the entire world out for him and he knows it.
Probably one of my fav eps of season 1, just because it's built off one of my fav aspects of Donald duck. It is a law of not just this show, but Disney in general, that Donald Duck is basically a walking example of Murphys law, but like Louie points out, he never lets that stop him, and I have to respect that level of perseverence.
He's also one of the more sympathetic versions of the character, for reasons this episode hints at but will definitely come into play later.
@@radicaladz true. I do think this is my fav incarnation of Donald.
One of the producers, Frank Angones, said they're mainly working off Don Rosa's Duck family tree for this show. So Gladstone is Donald and Della's first cousin on their father's side (their father's sister's son). That would technically make him the triplets' first cousin once removed. Not sure why the boys call him "Uncle Gladstone" instead of "Cousin Gladstone," but I guess that's a thing because my sis-in-law's family does that w/their first cousins once removed.
And then Scrooge is Donald and Della's mother's brother, so he's not related to Gladstone by blood at all. In one comic, Gladstone referred to him as "my mother's brother's brother-in-law."
I'm glad you caught Launchpad's hints of his side story, that way you will be able to recognize when it comes back up in the next season. Most of us were really caught off guard when his old girlfriend ended up being a main character later! Loving your reactions so far!
Old Fogey time: Gladstone Gander is one of the really old Duck characters, but was oddly never really popular in animation, he mostly showed up in the Duck comics. I mean his entire gag was just *Oh boy I'm lucky* and yes the 20 dollars thing has always been the main running gag for him, he'd just find money or something good would happen and Donald standing right next to him would be hit with bad luck. Its worse when the two are standing together.
"Old girlfriend" more or less means it was a long time ago, and the relationship is over, but it has fewer negative connotations than "ex."
The beginning of the recurring joke that by himself Launchpad is basically a superhero.
Weaponized Donald’s bad luck.
So a fun little fact is that Gladstone is half duck and half goose, hence his surname being Gander. In the comics he's sometimes, though not always, shown to be a little taller than Donald and the other ducks, with a longer neck and bill.
While Donald is really unlucky, Gladstone isn't just extremely lucky, he is probably the character with the most luck in fiction.
For example, in one of the comics (I don't remember if it is a Barks or Rosa (btw, "Life and times of Scrooge McDuck" from Don Rosa is a must read for absolute everybody!)) Donald finds a treasure map and after reading it he rips it into confetti and throws the pieces in a river so that Gladstone can't get his hands on it. But the current manipulates all the small pieces so that it is a perfect map again and Gladstone is on a bridge downstream and of course is very interested in the mysterious map...😂
He is THAT kind of lucky!
Since you're so complimentary of how they make the triplets so individual, I'll just point out this is one of the major departures from the original show, a GOOD departure. Originally the triplets were completely interchangeable and identical, carbon copies differentiated only by the colors. They even had the same voice actor doing all three. Imho, almost all the changes they made for this reboot improved the show and its storytelling.
Their interchangeability was literally the plot of an episode where one of them got sick of being mistaken for the others and decided he was going to change his name and appearance to look more unique. The fact I can't remember which triplet or what the episode was called, outside of the fact it was basically retconned by the end of the episode, tells you all you need to know really.
@@radicaladz I believe it was Dewey, but I'm not even completely certain.
@@RasmusVJS - exactly.
It's also clever that they made each of the triplets in this version of the show embody an aspect of Scrooge's character. Huey has the love of knowledge, Dewey has the love of adventure and Louie has the love of treasure. This way, they can each connect with Scrooge in different ways.
@@michaelmcintyre3871 They also embody an aspect of the original triplets. Huwey is a Junior Woodchuck who defers to the guidebook, Dewie is adventurous and reckless, and Louie is mischievous and schemey.
If this version of Gladstone is anything like his original comic book self, he probably could have just waited in that casino until his birthday, when his and Donald's luck would flip for exactly 24 hours, and then just walk out during it.
Also, I'm guessing that Launchpad's offscreen adventure is meant as a parody of the kinds of adventures that Wolverine would sometimes have in Japan and the fictional nation of Madripoor in Marvel's comics back in the '80s and from then on.
I think the less that is explained about what Launchpad did in the background, the better the gag works. 😁
The setup Launchpad describes is a typical plot from almost any 80s action adventure show... Knight Rider, Airwolf, A-Team, Incredible Hulk, etc. For people who grew up watching those shows his story doesn't matter because we've already seen it a hundred times over.
Love the time travel episode where they meet Launchpads adopted kid running the crime family and learn which of the kids is actually a clone of Scrooge and they meet their long lost brother Fooey...
Launchpad has an interesting personal life.
I always figured Gladstone was a Luck Syphon. That he's so lucky because he drains the luck of everyone around him.
The All Guardsmen Warhammer 40K tale has a good example of what I'm speaking of.
I'm pretty sure Launchpad's whole offscreen adventure is a reference to like, Big Trouble In Little China or something and that's why we never see anything about it in this episode xD
Ah yes, the best two characters in the show:
Donald "I refuse to be led by my bad luck" Duck
and Louie "I am too lazy to be evil" Duck
I regret that we never get to see what Launchpad gets up too during these side adventures.
Everyone that you don't see in an episode is usually of on their own adventures.
Except when they're stuck in the pantry. Though even that's _kind_ of an adventure, I guess.
Yeah Launchpad’s offscreen adventures is a running gag in this.
"I've seen the future, I've seen how the world ends....... Well, see you there soon 😃"
Bad luck is just part of Donald's genetic makeup. It is practically in his old theme song.
"Who's never wrong, but always right...
Who'd never dream of starting a fight....
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck..
No one, but Donald Duck..."
It was so crazy to learn that launchpad is actually the triplets dad
I learned yesterday after finally watching Nimona, that the VA for Launchpad also voiced the "very punchable jerk- knight" from Nimona. ^^
One of my favourite episodes, especially as someone who has worked in a casino for seven years at this point. Remember folks: if your luck is bad, stop relying on luck - be the house. 😜
8:28 Me and my friend were in a serious debate if this was a reference to Cirque de Soliel or Shen Yu 😂 We think it can be both and just performance art entertainment in tourist attractions
2:29 im so excited to see how she reacts to how it plays out 😂
Hey everyone! Remember to keep the comments free of any spoilers of future episodes for Mosco. Have fun & be creative with fake spoilers! Also, make sure we’re keeping the comments cool & comfortable for everyone here. Enjoy the reaction y’all!!!
I admit I have been a little, shall we say, creative about what does and doesn't constitute real/major spoilers. I'll keep it as lowkey as I can.
I feel this episode is more of a Donald Duck highlight, a call back to his old theme song,
"Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one but Donald Duck"
Who's got the sweetest disposition?
One guess. Guess who?
Who never, never starts an argument?
Who never shows a bit of temperament?
Who's never wrong but always right?
Who'd never dream of starting a fight?
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
No one... but Donald Duck!
He's got a lot of talent
And a lot of style
Which is a way of saying
He's got an even temper
And a winning smile
He only gets excited
He plays a hot piano
And a hot guitar
He goes around the city
In fancy car
He dines on chocolate ice cream
And a candy bar
'Cause after all remember
Who's never wrong but always right?
Who'd never dream of starting a fight?
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
No one... but Donald Duck!
cant wait for you to meet the duke of making a mess next episode
And the ball gets rolling for the eventual appearance of ALL Launchpad's ex's to help save the day at the end of season 2.
In the original Donald Duck cartoons, there's a line in the theme where it goes "Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one, but Donald Duck." so it was kind of awesome to see the dichotomy between him and Gladstone Gander on full display in this episode since the latter is "the luckiest Goose in the World".
edit: I really don't see the "added weight" you still look beautiful, so just enjoy that you're healthy. ^_^
Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one… but Donald Duck.
I love how Donald is utilized throughout this show.
Each character in this show is so distinct like you mention. Even small details get carried across their characters throughout the show, and there are very few instances where I feel that make them OoC. It's a big part of why it's my favorite show
Hehe, launcpads little side story cracks me up.
Launchpad may be a moron but he has a remarkable ability to suck at everything but still comes out the other side unscathed.
There are a couple of episodes later in the show that I think may improve your opinion of him, or not, he isn't for everyone.
Can’t believe we met the BBEG of the whole series in this episode, insane how it happened this early
I wish we got to see launchpad deal with the local crime family
Just in case you don’t get it, “Macaw” is a pun on “Macau” and parrots.
Also the IRL Macau is the Las Vegas of Asia, which is why this episode is in a casino
Gladstone lore not spoken of in the series so it might not apply: when his mom was pregnant with him she helped someone who in return blessed her with good luck that gladstone inherited
So, the INSTANT the villain accepted Scrooge gamble, he lost, because the person that would gain more from his loss would be… Gladstone! Thus, of COURSE Gladstone would be lucky enough that this bet would end in his favor, even if it means that he must lose to win!
And for today’s 2 lies and 1 truth:
1. In a later episode, like next season later. we find out that launchpad is surprisingly a chick magnet, Like James Bond level of rizz. in fact, the episode in question involve the triplets and Webbie each trying to distract different girls from each other not realizing, that all four of the girls already know about each other and they’re perfectly fine launchpad.
2. in the season finale it’s revealed that launchpad is actually the triplets father with amnesia. And because Scrooge never actually met him previously, never realized it.
3. Sometime soon there’s going to be an episode involving magic, mini golf and kelpie voiced by My Little Pony VAs.
As someone who is currently on my 9th rewatch of DuckTales, my favorite show ever, I have to highly recommend to *not* watch this in Production Order and to instead watch it in Airing Order, how the episodes were dropped to the world. I can see why from an outside perspective, it'd be wisest to start with the way the show's creators intended for you to watch it, but trust me when I say that this is one of those rare times where the creators are wrong about their own show, in the sense that they can't enjoy it as a viewer and understand what that experience is like.
In the various ways I've watched this, along with new people each rewatch, Airing Order has always ensured the most engaging, most attached, and most captivating experience of the show. It's had people hooked and made them fans. Every time Production or Disney+ Order was tried, the people I was watching it with ended up dropping the show because it just didn't hook them. All us fans from when the show was airing got hooked exactly from that order. That airing order. I don't even necessarily think the Airing or Production Order are *too* different, but the results speak for themselves.
The way the channel released them despite the Production Codes is just the prime way DuckTales is meant to be watched, and it's not something the producers are going to understand because they've advocated for their intended order to be the official way on all of Disney's platforms. It's not like there's egregious episode discrepancies via Airing Order, either. No drastic differences. The season finale still comes at the end, the story beats are still told when they're supposed to be, and everything remains in chronological order from a plot standpoint by just watching Airing Order. If you didn't know about it from people talking about what the creators wanted, you wouldn't even be able to tell that the Production Codes of episodes are not in meticulous order.
I'd recommend going in Airing Order from whatever point you're at forward. I love this show to bits, and as a fan that's ran through watching this with a variety of people, I just have to put out there that Airing Order is the prime way to experience this show, despite what you've heard from people advocating for the producers' intentions!
something that I love about Donald is that he's more cartoony than the other characters, they way he moves, how he gets harmed, it really reminds me of the old classic Donald cartoons, and there's and episode favorite of mine that showcases Donald in his most cartoony self, it's a really fun and heartwarming episode but that's thinking to far into the future
Macaw is Macau, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macau, a kind of island Las Vegas off the coast of China.
These reactions are so fun! I love this episode. It's clever and colorful and the music is so good. It is just gorgeous.
launchpad is a man of mystery we'll never get the full story just pieces of the puzzle
1:32 Give me a moment to sign into Steam, and... Oh, yup, there it is! On my wish list now. Now I have 127 games on my wish list.
Can't wait till the golfing episode
Litteraly just golf, nothing more nothing less, just golfing
Oh my God, Louie IS Mermista! I never even noticed!
My Dad has a saying "it's better to be lucky than to be skilled. Because you can get lucky, but you can't get skilled".
Don't you mean "it's better to be skilled than to be lucky. Because you can get lucky, but you can't get skilled"?
@RasmusVJS could be. It's been years since I heard him say it. It's usually a joke for Men's Saturday Morning Tennis
If you think about it for a moment, Donald is one of the greatest parental figures in fiction, guy is the unluckiest duck in the world, has a speech impediment, and hardly anything ever goes his way.
And yet... My man still spent 10 years raising his nephews like they were his own and they all turned out great in spite of his bad luck.
It's like Louie says, he never gives up, and what he lacks in luck, he makes up for it in pure unbridled RAGE!
After viewing this, I find it hard not to conclude that the Kingdom Hearts series didn't make a major misstep by making him a mage rather than a barbarian.
The spear of selene is an ancient spear that sent della to the underworld for stealing it
Principal that I've learned as someone that has been growing up and living in Vegas: never gamble unless you know you have the odds in your favor of winning
Honestly, anything you gamble, eventually, you're gonna lose. Also, the Dunning Kruger effect seems to abnormally effect gamblers, because no matter what you tell them, they're always going to base their assumptions and biases on what they think will work and rationalise their strategy based on that. I've seen people repeatedly hit 21 from 17 or split 10s at Blackjack, thinking it's a good strategy, yet can't understand why they end up losing their money. Most gamblers (and even some dealers) I speak to can't wrap their heads around the Monty Hall problem, because they don't actually understand that it's not a 50/50 chance - it's 2/3rds odds of winning if you switch but only 1/3rd if you don't, and the probability locks in once you make the choice, but they will insist to the contrary that it must be 50/50 despite actual testing bearing out the math that switching your choice increases your chance of winning; people want to believe that their original choice was correct, but that bias is effectively handicapping their ability to respond to new information.
@@radicaladz not necessarily, the trick is knowing when to quit while you are ahead
@@kirkcasteel7070 Eh. But you thinking you ARE ahead can be another way they get you.
Also, the corollary: the odds are never in your favor of winning. If they were, the casino would be out of business.
@@IceMetalPunk emphasis my dear friend on the phrasing when the odds are in your favor you gamble . Honestly I swear people really do not pay attention to the phrasing of the words
I love when Gladstone Gander said "It's Glandin' Time!"
"Loose as a goose and ready to gander" feels like gay cruising slang. Which I know absolutely nothing about. *slurps tea suspiciously*
Oh yeah and in the fight against gambling frogs he wins 1 million for Donald by glandin' all over the place
Girl, if you like DuckTales wait until you try out “darkwing duck” also the character launchpad is also in the show dark wind duck
Macaw is just the _DuckTales_ equivalent of any East Asian country.
Nah. Macau. It's another coastal city nearby Hong Kong.
@@Brasswatchman it’s actually “Macaw” (I just double-checked). It’s based on [insert random East Asian country here]. The name is a pun between “Macau” (the place) and “macaw” (the bird).
@@Ariovrak Yes, I know. I was talking about Macau the place.
@@Brasswatchman in the show, the place is spelled “Macaw”. It’s a pun.

Also I love the heiress at the end of the episode she’s beautiful 😍
Instead of learning about Launchpads adventure, there will be an entire episode dedicated to Huey (and just Huey) trying to recreate the Aquarioon show.
I love that Mosco's least favorite character will become the show's greatest unsolved mystery. Sorry, Mosco - you'll never learn the wonderful adventures of Launchpad McQuack!
I first saw Launchpad in the original Darkwing Duck.
Back then to me he was rather annoying. And at first when I finally sat down to watch the DuckTales 2017 reboot he was still annoying.
But then something changed. Something very subtle. Something that is not in your face but slowly takes shape over the course of time through the series.
All the characters in the reboot have been upgraded from their original appearances back in the 80s. Launchpad has been too.
You've just seen a piece of that. Trust me there is a big payoff regarding LaunchPad coming down the road.
Launchpad is playing dumb he's actually Twilight on a special mission from WISE.
The black uniform that Donald wears what do you think better his black uniform or his blue uniform 🟦⬛️
Hello, I would like to suggest you watch the French film Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
I don't know if you've seen it before, but if you haven't, it's a really great movie, well worth a watch, and it would be great if you could do a reaction to this movie.
By the way, I really like you, and it's thanks to Elijah that I found your channel😊. The way you present your content changes my mood for the better. All my love for you❤❤
I can't wait until you get to the episode where it's discovered that Launchpad is a former Interpol agent and aerospace engineer who created the first spaceship that would go to the moon, but Mrs. Beakley brainwashed him and kidnapped Della (who discovered her plot) and sent her into another dimension by sabotaging the Sphere of Selene (which she was going to use to show Scrooge proof of Beakley's nefarious actions). Throughout the season, we see bits of Launchpad's intelligence seep through... but Beakley is never far away from him, keeping tabs...
Duck Tales has existed as a comic book for over 80 years. The 1987 cartoon series re-used plot threads but had to work with the limitations of not being allowed to use several canon characters including Donald Duck. This is why Launchpad McQuak exists. This new series has unfortunately dumbed him down and I'd guess it's because he no longer has to fill Donald's role, but leaving him out would deny fans of the 80's cartoon one of their favorite characters. Many old characters have been changed dramatically but his is by far the worst. The nephews were so identical in every way that their character art was literally the exact same with a color change. Mrs. Beakly was changed from a dithering old housemaid, Webby was a useless little girl and several upocoming characters are almost unrecongnizable compared to their original counterparts. There are easter eggs buried deep all over this series for fans of the comics and 80's cartoon including references to other Disney afternoon shows at the time like Goof Troop, Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Darkwing Duck and a blink and you'll miss it reference to Gargoyles.
Gladstone’s good luck is the result of a mystic Romany blessing placed on his mother, Daphne Duck, later Gander, when she was born. Gladstone and his mother share the same birthday so he got the blessing too. Donald’s bad luck is the result of him being born on Friday the 13th.
Launchpad is an international player, he is webby, Lena, Huey, Dewey and Louie's father.
Don't worry Mosco, Launchpad's plot will be explained in the episode where he gets a new Girlfriend who has to fight his 5 mysterious ex-girlfriends throughout the world to be able to date him.
Scrooge and Donald both hate him but for different reason. Scrooge hate him because he doesn't work for his fortune, Donald hate him because he lives an easy life.
I keep posting
“Please react to Milo Murphy’s law episode 1”
I’m adding Generator Rex
I mean that's just what Donald is it's in his theme song who's the one that gets stuck with all the bad luck no one but Donald Duck as for Gander he's the one with all the luck literally just Donald opposite which is hilarious how the one with All the bad luck and the one with All the good luck are Just cousins you'd think they'd be siblings but no their cousins
How lucky can Gladstone be? He got caught by Toad Liu Hai. Not to mention Daisy dumped him on their wedding day for Donald.
I still believe, Donald and Gladstone used to be a single person with just normal average levels of luck, but some magical shenannigans split him into two people, one unnaturally lucky one and one unnaturally unlucky one.
1:43 Ooh, that's a neat mechanic. Don't think I've seen that before. Also, good on you for hyping up other streamers.
For me, Launchpad is amazingly similar to Kronk.
How do you not like Launch Pad? He's male Scorpia minus the lack of personal boundaries.
One of my favorite episodes. Easily some of the hardest laughs from the series.
See this entire episode is it a parody of Disneyland they say the line every one of these rooms looks as it looks exactly the same they try to trap you here so you spend all your money on cheap thrills even the water thing that they show in this episode is reference to a water show that they show at Disneyland so they're making fun of the water show at Disneyland saying a joke about Disneyland and how they try to trap you there and waste all your money
I have always wanted to support you in any way, but I'm so broke, I'm glad that now there's some way I can help out :>
