Gravity Falls is also good. It shares some creative staff. The new She-Ra is excellent. Infinity Train and Over the Garden Wall are short but worthwhile. And, uh. I maintain that Steven Universe is the best-written show this side of The Wire. Though it takes a while for this to become evident.
But yeah, “Last Crash of the Sunchaser” sure is a thing.
I really love how every adult on this show is written as a different kind of endearing crank and how a lot of the plotting seems like a direct nod to Davies era Who, obvious casting aside
The Doctor Who stuff becomes super thick when you start to watch for it. The way they characterize Goldie is… I mean. We’re really talking Moffat era in that case, but.
It really is weird how Gyro is just “Somebody put Rusty Venture in a kids show”
Best comment I’ve read tonight about Trump’s electric alligator moat is, “He just went full Glomgold.”
just watched the episode that is like british avengers + the prisoner + gummi bears
this show is doing so much all the time
I was thinking, as opposed to what other Avengers?
Then I remembered, oh, yeah, there’s that… thing. With the comic-book people in it.
shows back on saturday
Interested how they’ll work Goof Troop Goof into things.
This season is supposed to roughly focus on Huey, in the way that season one was about Dewey and two was about Louie.
the goofy episode seems insane from clips
they are trapped in a tv sitcom called uh…quack pack…and goofy is a wacky next door neighbor. don cheadle is the voice of donald again. there are even fake disney channel interstitials for the fictional “baba network”
“Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks!” was pretty cute and I would say more self assured as a real adventure story than a lot of the last two seasons even though it is still sort of “about adventure”. Are Violet’s dads the first canonically gay characters in the greater…Mickey Mouse-adjacent…universe? I think this setup for the F.O.W.L. plot is a pretty solid frame for good semi serialization with lots of good standalone eps
“Quack Pack!” was absolutely out of control and absolutely tailor made for me, a man who will never tire of sitcom parodies. Multiple characters in their classic outfits! Max, PJ, and Roxxane! Hideous feral Quack Pack style humans! The genie from the movie played by Jaleel White! Even beyond the fanservice they are really hitting some Gravity Falls style creepiness in this one. Loved it. Also appreciate the Genie’s concept of a reboot lol
of course there’s a fourth wall!
do you think goofy carrying physical photographs in his wallet is a sign that he is like unstuck in time and from the 90s in the same way scrooge is like 200 years old
oh also i just watched the season 2 episode where dewey sings the song from the goofy movie that foreshadowed this
“Oh, I’m so mad I can’t even alliterate.”
Want to say, Rosa had his own origin for the Junior Woodchucks and their logo. This seems to borrow the idea that it’s a bird (and I swear, this critter is so familiar—but can’t place it), but I think in the original it was an ibis? And it turns out the JWG is a Cliff’s notes of the lost library of Alexandria.
As it happens, my own copy if this issue is, erm, lost. I think it’s the only Gladstone-era book I’ve misplaced. And it happened after I only read the story the once.
So the made-up TV Scrooge wears… his DuckTales 1987 outfit.
