they made beakley more sympathetic after the pitch?

it feels like they re wrotte her since in the show, she's not a marry popins from hell and the boys aren't terrified of her It also seems tshe wa going to speak less than she did. While the beakley we got is still flawed since she can be cynic and lied to webby for a while, I think what we got is better. She's also webby found familly after the finale with anyone webby see as familly and took webby in despite her being a FOWL creation (I'd say that's verry found familly).

Another change I noticed is ma beagle being meant to be beakley nemesis before FOWL and heron got introduced during the season production.

some odd interpretation of the finale scene

I find some of them really odd, especially when the person imply it show scrooge being a bad parent or that it mean he never cared to protect the other before the finale when he did. Another really odd take is scrooge and della would never be wrong/never learn/never see their mistakes when scrooge and della are able to acknowledge when they're wrong, even with santa, scrooge was able in the end to get the lesson.

No matter how much I rewatch it, it never felt like scrooge only cared about webby due to huey line and scrooge can't be everywhere, may and june were separated from the group,him not being with them right now doesn't mean he's ignoring them.

I wonder if those interpretation don't partly come from disliking scrooge (he's flawed but he's not this bad by the finale).

glomgold is more of a joke villain (and greatest hero of earth) than magica

The mcduck still saw magica as more of a threat without power than glomgold for obvious reason since glomgold schemes are much more ridiculous. Also,magica was still able to use someone's prototype to get in the kids dream and had lena had nightmare for a while. She also beated duckworth using an artefact. While magica isn't that powerful without scrooge dime, she was still the one who tipped things in the villains favor in life and crimes by showing when scrooge did messed up.

She obviously had her own ruff time with her not having that much money beside souls forcing her to work at funzo (and I doubt she celebrate her own birthday anymore).

Glomtales also shows scrooge see her as more of a threat than glomgold (even tho HE was in front!).

was the pitch written to avoid spoiling too much?

Reading it with the implied webby stuff or lena name being changed to avoid showing she's a da spell, it feels like thepitch was written to avoid spoilers and still keep things a surprise even if things still got fleshed out as the show went on(they did that with the twist too to avoid leaks).

donald and della started softening scrooge up until the spear incident

Considering how good adventuring with them was for scrooge and the first adventure showing that at first, he was only in the adventure for business but once donald and della arrived, he start enjoying it for the adventure, I think one can say donald and della may have already started to change scrooge for the better up until the spear, the anger between him and donald and losing duckworth happened.

Scrooge also learned to care about other beside himself since in the past, he didn't and saw familly as a weakness, he learned even before the pilot since he was willing to go nearly bankrupt over losing della and the great dime chasse also shows he does care about his employee in a way since he help gyro interacting with people, manny reformed and he's not willing to fire people much it seems. He reverted a bunch due to his trauma and stopping adventuring to do only work only to soften again and progress when the other came back and he got to bond with webby.

I prefer what they ended up doing with daisy over te pitch proposal

Tbh, I think it was better they made their relationship healthier and I kinda feel like the glomgold we got may have nto bothered engaging daisy considering how he acted toward owlson through season 2 (the only assistant he was kinda fine with is gibbous). Also, having daisy lead glomgold industry may have limited glomgold scheming since if she was meant to be a good businesswoman, I doubt she'd allow glomgold to scheme as much as he did through the show or the podcast. While they seem to have plans to reunite donald and daisy at some point, I still prefer daisy being the one to understand donald.

the darkwing pitch made before LGD was written or early in the episode writting?

It feels like it was done even before the negaduck cutscene was written or taurus bulba introduced in the episode and gosalyn backstory was going to be verry different too compare to what we got and somehow mark beaks was going to be in the fearsome 5 too instead of bushroot.

season 1 would've been verry different if they'd go for the 2015 pitch

They changed the cast personnality and backstory a bunch, webby being a good example of that, they changed her relation to scrooge from her trying to get noticed to her not bothering him and having her own things to do too (partly because of beakley).

The dynamic between beakley and the boys was also going to be verry different and louie seem to be the one paired with launchpad in the pitch rather than dewey. FOWL isn't mentionned in the pitch so it seem them and heron were later addition during the 1st season production, tho the board was meant to be villains from the start even if they still needed to be fleshed out (brenda was replaced by bentley and their motive/backstory changed during the season production too). Surprised webby being scrooge heir was a thing as early as the show pitch, and the secret case for her seems toimply something too (tho they did changed a bunch about her, same with lena and the pitch feels like it was done to avoid spoiling too much). Daisy was going to be a thing, tho I prefer that they did a healthier relationship with donald, during production they did found a way to fit in may and june. Webby was also not meant to be shelltered by beakley at first and she was gong to have more of a rivalry with the boys and it seems some of beakley hate were given to duckworth.

I don't think angones taking inspiration from a bunch of things mean he didn't had original ideas or experimented with stuff

"angones talking about his rendition of ducktales in the art book: its all original! all our ideas! experimental! daring!! all faithful to barks and rosa!!

angones probably when doing his pitch, looking at all the other ducktales pitch bibles, frankensteining the whole thing: okay, we'll need this and that and this, lets take that- "

I don't think that take got that the show pitch is meant to get the show accepted and I reccall the artbook recognized the show took inspiration from other stuff. On his tumblr angones also talked about his inspiration for characters like webby or doofus. Will take a break nowsince it's 1 am, I'm going to see tomerow what the paul dini proposal was.

the kids (and launchpad) ages changing during production (after the 2015 pitch)?

it look like they made them 1 year younger since the first season is meant to take place 10 years after della got lost, meaning the 4 kids are only 10 in season 1, not 11 like in the 2015 pitch from the leak (wich does confirm webby isn't younger or older than the boys from the start tho) . The pitch also has launchpad in his 20' while in the show he's 31. Lena age was changed in canon too since frank made it vague on his tumblr (tho the 15 is only when she was made, he doesn't seem to work the same way as normal duck age wise and a bunch of stuff messed with it in the show canon, including the flashback).

That duck leak is great to see the different concepts for the cast and the show proposals.

frank pitch for a darkwing duck show

https://www.tumblr.com/ducklooney/748854282943610880/darkwing-duck-reboot-by-frank-angones-and-matt It feels like frank made that proposal during the early production of season 3 because LGD had a verry different fearsome 4, liquidator wasn't exactly shown to be the social media type and it had bushroot while the reboot proposal didn't. It may have also been more of a joke proposal since I reccall reading they did joked about that. It also look like dewey wa turned in gozalyn honker since honker never appear after LGD.

Still not much hope for the other darkwing reboot tho, it feels like it has been cancelled and replaced by the comics.

There's a whole google drive file with leak stuff, including verry early draft of ducktales 2017, and TIL paul dini made a proposal in 2014 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rt936QoP0Mlr8EOoXSKFOtFhNlxoztIr Webby was going to be verry different in early draft of the reboot to th epoint of hating her own surname and duckworth was going to be a robot instead of a ghost. A ducktales early draft from frank also already had webby being scrooge heir mentionned and it confirm the love/hate cases are actually part of the show early pitch who was also referenced in the mummy pyramid episode,tho it shows things were changed after the pitch (della being a good example). The webby deepest secret does kinda imply something tho with her not being more of an open book or the doll line, tho the scrooge daughter stuff may have came a bit after that pitch since changes were made.

doesn't this interview shows frank wouldn't portray scrooge as a bad dad for webby, may and june?

https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/ducktales-finale-webby-twist/

I feel like some took it out of context to claim that it shows scrooge was a bad parent when it doesn't, it's easy for him to get dangerous with the nephew because they're willing to go on adventures with him, not because he doesn't care about their safety or the boys/donald/della. Of course there'd be conflicts between the 4 given that they're not perfect people (even webby is far from what I'd call a yes girl given that she still got angry at scrooge over the whole santa thing, and she still saw the fight as wrong so she's able to see when her dad's wrong) but they'd still grow and since the point of scrooge is to progress partly thanks to his familly, going foward, I can see him softening up. rank also call scrooge a dad so to me, this confirm they'd have webby keep calling him dad had the show goes on.

Cant find specific episodes

Hey! Im doing trauma therapy and I am exposing myself to things Ive avoided because it reminds me of said trauma. I am looking for 2 specific episodes of Ducktales and I wondered if you could help me. It was probably over 20 years ago, so I hope my mininal details will yeald something. I really like the show, Im just ready to go on to the next exposure(funnily enough, its quqckpack), but I want to watch the 2 episodes I vaguely remember before I move on!

Episode 1: The garden leafy sculptures come alive

Episode 2: (Im sorry, this is such vauge description) the pilot is up a hill or something, in a plane, carrige, some kind of enclosed (I think) thing, and they go down the hill (in a hurry I think). I think it was some kind of fight maybe?

Edit:

Episode 1 is season 1, episode 45 - scroogerello!
