I feel the same way about goofy being a dog and so is Pluto

Creationists in the ducktails universe. If we evolved from ducks why are there still ducks? Checkmate!
FizzleBurger
Disney's aware of the questions they're raising. Disney just don't give a fuck.

Astronomy keeps up to date ∩ Cartoon animals represent people = A lot of misplaced incredulity that Pluto isn't the same as the others

in the original cartoon from the 80s, the ducks refer to themselves as "humans"

It’s like feeding chimps at the zoo.

No.. no... it's the classic Duck Tales episode where they have turkey for Thanksgiving.

They don't wear pants because birds can't control when they shit.

they made a new Ducktales ?

Which reinforces my belief that artists and writers just get stoned and throw stuff out there. Love it.

I never understood why Pluto is the only dog that walks on all fours.

dannosworld365
In the opening scene of the first episode, a seagull is shushed away some fishermen, one of whom is also a seagull. Classic Disney gag.
DVSBSTrD
You know what's even better? Goofy's girlfriend is a cow.
daendusk
Goofy is also supposed to be a cow originally.
Yep. The one that blew my mind was that I never realized Gyro Gearloose was a chicken.
Hmmm, I always thought he was a goose.
titaniumsnail
Nah, that's the farm help of Grandma duck: Gus Goose
GooseGuy99

I always thought Launchpad was a pelican. Turns out, he's a duck with a large chin.
He isn't a pelican??? My childhood is a lie!
DatDarthCaedus
Well, his last name IS McQuack, not uh... McPelicanSounds?
callmesmitten
I refuse to show my kid the new version. Having her watch the OG with the super catchy theme song.
Dagordae
What a sad and pathetic person you are. I mean, this is just a special level of petty.
jscheel
You’re doing her a dirty. The new DuckTales is awesome.
So you're showing your daughter the one where Webby is an annoying burden on everyone, not the one where she's a badass? Interesting choice.
TooDeepInComplaints
I'm not sure if you know, but the theme song is the same. I grew up with OG, and this ROCKS!
Mostlybored
Dude you're 100% missing out. I grew up watching the original and I love it. But this? It's witty, heart warming, better characters, and 1/?
The same theme song. It's very aware that it can't give you the same feeling the OG version does, but it doesn't let that weigh them down.
Keairan
Dude, Webby isn't an annoying stereotype and the triplets aren't a creepy gestalt. That right there is a vast improvement character-wise.
They give a sympathetic and incredibly meta justification for Donald’s insane temper that actually fits perfectly with how the character is
Handled in every media. They actually properly justified a comedic character flaw that’s been there for 70+ years and made it a plot point.

Maybe they’re aliens, like Howard the Duck
Fun fact. Howard the Duck isn't an alien. He's actually from Duckworld a different universe and got thrown into the Marvel universe. 1/?
It's always been heavily implied that Duckworld and Ducktales are in the same universe. With Marvel owned by Disney, it's not insane.
lwoshea
So... if he's from a different planet... in a different universe... how is he not an alien?
Great question. You're totally right, he would be an alien. Lol.
