You Can't Keep A Good Ego Down · 4:30pm Jul 23rd, 2017

You are looking at official Disney concept art.

He's back.

Huzzah!

Let's get dangerous!

Huh, not showing up for me.

Try this one. It's the same picture, but from a different source.

Also supposedly confirmed (although I can't seem to find any leaked footage yet): Megavolt & Quackerjack. No word on voice actors, but it may be worth noting that Jim Cummings can still go full Drake at the drop of a hat.

Hooray, white Daffy Duck is back!

Seriously though, does anybody have any links to the show? I'd like to try it.

Take a moment and try to picture Daffy acting with the maturity required to raise a child. In fact, try to picture Daffy behaving with enough personal responsibility to keep a goldfish alive.

...right. 'White Daffy Duck', my non-feathered rear. :facehoof:

The 90s original run? As in 'where can I purchase season sets' (cheap, but there's only 2/3rds of the run available) or 'what hasn't been DMCAed off YouTube yet'?

I know it's already been said, but... Let's get dangerous.

NOW they have my interest.

Whatever I can get for free. Actually, I found a decent one. The picture is zoomed in, but the audio is good.

Actually, there may be something we've overlooked. Darkwing Duck means Gosalyn . Gosalyn means Gosalyn and New!Webby may meet. Gosalyn and Webby meeting, one way or anther, means the end of the world.

On a minor MPQ note, I just brought a **** up to Champion status: Phil 'Oh, so that's what my player does' Coulson.

Yes, Phil is a recruitable character.

Yes, he's also a ****.

So yes, until the right circumstances, Phil can in fact blast Loki across the playing field. Now, whether Phil survives it...

(The short version: one of Phil's powers is a boosted version of Pietro's. For a cost of eight purple, Phil turns two basic (non-altered, non-white) tiles into Charged ones, meaning those two are now worth triple damage (for those tiles only) & three points each for your color pool -- and then switches their position. If the board is set up just right for it, he'll create match-fives and criticals on demand, which just might be enough to put Loki's low-Health body down. However, if Phil doesn't create a one-shot KO, then he's just made a match-five. This means Loki will automatically create those pool-stealing countdown tiles, and two turns later...)

Help us, Lou Grant, you're our only hope!

In that case... going in, there are three things you need to know about Darkwing.

* GIANT EGO
* Somewhere under said ego, he truly cares about what he's doing
* He always forgets the milk

Oooh yes. This is gonna be good!

So you work at/with Disney?

*sigh* I'd probably be a lot better off financially and creatively if I did. The image shown was flashed on a screen at San Diego ComicCon, where I am decidedly not in attendance.

That certainly does appear to be The Terror That Quacks In The Night. Thanks!

Yes! The Champion of Right is back! :yay:

4610092
No, S/He's the medical administrator at Sacred Heart.

4610098
😔 thanks for passing it on, though!

Well I enjoyed Darkwing when I was younger but there are others I'd rather seem brought back

4610098 ... at San Diego ComicCon, where I am decidedly not in attendance.

Restraining order? Just guessing, on account of many previous blogs.:pinkiehappy:

Cost, distance, general dislike of conventions, too much spectacle, and Something I Can't Blog About Yet. It's... been a rough season, and there's one major thing I haven't been talking about. Maybe tomorrow.

I needed some form of good news. The return of Drake Mallard is it.

Hopefully more Nega-Duck as well.

Been quite awhile. I mildly remember there were some episodes where he was in some group with Launchpad as Gizmo Duck. + Some episodes with Goslynn as Quiver Wing Quack.

'Favorite quote "All a hero really needs is courage, confidence, and a cape"

Looking at that light redesign... something I've insisted on for a while: Darkwing has one of the greatest costumes ever seen. It's not practical: the hat is begging to be yanked down over his eyes, plus we all know about the horrible things which can happen to anyone wearing a cape. The light glinting off those buttons is going to give him away in anything less than total shadow or a gas cloud. Also, there have been better masks, and they have been worn by turtles.

But when you put the whole package together...

There's something in the totality. There always has been. Maybe it's the pulp elements: Darkwing's primary ancestor is the Shadow, and you can see every bit of the 20s lurking about his person. Perhaps it's the sense of a gentleman adventurer: it's a very formal costume. Or maybe it's just that 'Yep-yep-yep... I make this work.'

The best costumes look like nothing and no one else. They're a visual signature. You can recognize some of them on outline alone. And even with the mild redo designed to bring him into the Barks style, there is no doubt about who that is. It's almost possible to spot him on posture.

It's one of the greatest costumes in the genre's history.

And that's without pants.

oh heck

I'm even more conflicted than the DuckTales revival, because I want this more D:

Oh man. Even my limited exposure to the Disney Channel's golden age leaves me with a pleasant sense of nostalgia with this one. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Must be the year of nostalgia.

I haven't actually seen any of the Duck Tales revival yet.

Is it any good?
