Disney Ducks Comic Universe/WMG: Difference between revisions

== Scrooge, Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie found and drank from the fountain of youth. ==

* What was the ''first story to feature Goldie'' after her introduction in ''Back to the Klondike''? The story by Romano Scarpa introducing Paperetta (aka Dickie)! Come on... Scrooge's old flame randomly shows up on his proverbial doorstep with a granddaughter of unknown parentage and asks Scrooge to take her in for no apparent reason. He accepts, also for no apparent reason. Then, almost as quickly as they introduced her, the writers try to ignore her existence and seem determined never to give a straight answer about her origins. Sure, nobody's covering up anything here. ''Again''. Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Rumpus McFowl, Gideon McDuck... this family's got kids out of wedlock running all over the place!

*** Probably yes, and was told by Goldie herself. The one time they met, after all, Goldie encouraged Brigit to pursue Scrooge, and Brigit asked about it. With Goldie admitting the deed so Scrooge wouldn't have an easy way out.

** Lets not forget the time aspect to this - for this to work, Scrooge and Goldie would have had to have concieved when they were doing something that "wasn't a hanging offense". Scrooge didn't have any protection, and neither did Goldie. But then the follow up, Hearts of the Yukon, would have to take place in such a time that she was pregnant, and knew it, but not noticeable - supposing they just gave the hell up on them actually being ducks and just made them people, that means about 5 months. Prisoner of White Agony Creek began in the Spring of 1897, and they were together for a month before the ..... anyway, that means it could have happened in the beginning, considering Scrooge said there was no thaw yet. This means that it happened near mid April. Hearts of the Yukon, their follow up, takes place in January 1898 - a full 9 months after the incident. She couldn't hide a child back in those days. Whatever happened, no-one was produced. Scrooge has no children.

*** ...''supposing they just made them (like) people.'' Did they? "It's not a lie unless they have proof." I'd rather just assume they didn't than think about ''that'' too much.

** Wacky theory: Dickie was intended to be Scrooge's grandaughter and the contradictions with what we know from Don Rosa's writings are simply due to different writers with different interpretations. The comics revolving around the Duck Clan aren't any different from other comic books in regards to continuity and timescales.

*** Especially since the Italian Duck stories take place in a universe very different from Don Rosa's vision. There are several Duck canons that only vaguely overlap.

*** Ducks come from eggs, as mentioned above. I don't think it takes 9 months to hatch an egg.

 

== Drake Mallard ([[Darkwing Duck]]) is Scrooge's illegitimate child ==

 

== The money vault is a sham. ==

 

== [[Born Lucky|Gladstone Gander]] is a secret [[Reality Warper]] ==

 

== Fergus and Downy McDuck had a [[Slap Slap Kiss]] relationship. ==

It goes like this: Hortense and Quackmore first had to support her daughter when Della had triplets before she was ready. Then the kids' father gave up on them, making Della even more vulnerable. Finally, Della herself gave up on her sons and, even if Donald agreed to take the boys off their grandparents' hands, the pressure of having their daughter disappear on them was the last blow to Quackmore's worsening health. After losing her daughter and her husband in quick sequence (and being out of touch with her brother), Hortense doesn't last long before her own health fails.

 

The whole "turn our earnings back over the bosses" thing on payday was a way of saying that taxes have been raised so high, such as "The Privilege of Working for Magica McDuck Enterprises Tax," that getting a paycheck is practically a moot point ("Who gets paid?") since just about all your money gets taken out.

** It's actually ''Magica-McDuck,'' like Sears & Roebuck or Proctor & Gamble.

** Shouldn't it be DeSpell-McDuck? Magica is her given name.

** Maybe she insisted on using her first name rather than surname for the merger, for name recognition or because, on some level, she liked seeing her name next to his.

*** It makes perfect sense [[Alternate Character Interpretation|on some level]]: as I recall, the reason Magica wanted Scrooge's lucky dime in the first place was not because she believed that it was what had made Scrooge a success, but because she believed that Scrooge's own fortitude and other qualities that made him such a success had rubbed off on the dime. In short, she believes the dime would make a powerful magical talisman because of how much she admires Scrooge himself.

 

 

Here's how played out: At some point, he was approached by producers interested in making a series based on his adventures. Scrooge agreed to this after being encouraged that it would make him more marketable with a younger crowd. All the differences were due to [[Executive Meddling]], but Scrooge initially cooperated (although he vetoed many of their original ideas; for instance, they would have made one of the triplets into a girl to satisfy [[The Smurfette Principle]], but he refused to allow that, thus, Webby). It became popular for a time, bringing in money from [[The Merch]] that Scrooge felt comfortable to let it run on its own; the less attention he paid to it, however, the more creative license was taken... until it was brought back to his attention just how [[Off the Rails]] the series had gone, at which point he pulled the plug.

 

== Huey's, Dewey's, and Louie's father is from Tralla La, aka Xanadu. ==

* That would explain why that guy looks all mangled and burned: he's never been the same since his bratty sons set off a firecracker under his chair.

 

* That makes too much sense for my liking so I would like to declare officially that I hate for totally raping that last bit of lovable childhood I had.

* That WMG is negated by the story "The Duck Who Never Was" by [[Don Rosa]]. In the alternate reality where Donald was never born, the triplets still exist, therefore Donald isn't their father.

 

== Huey, Dewey and Louie are the result of a teenage pregnancy. ==

* Actually, more or less confirmed by [[Word of God]]! Check out [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/335725.html?thread=8375405#cmt8375405 this comment].

* According to [[Don Rosa]]'s [http://stp.ling.uu.se/~starback/dcml/creators/rosa-on-himself.html#dates timeline], Della would have been 20 years old when she had the boys.

* I think the whole point is that [[Shrouded in Myth|no one could agree on what happened that day]], and people were making up all sorts of explanations both mundane and fantastic. In "Hearts of the Yukon", Scrooge himself claimed that he broke free when a boiler exploded... then goes on to claim that he "licked a baker's dozen [of Soapy Slick's men]! ''And'' the baker!"

 

 

== The Junior Woodchucks are connected to the [[Phineas and Ferb|Fireside Girls]]. ==

** [[Phineas and Ferb|PnF Earth]] is another planet, perhaps discovered and kept secret by the founders of the [[Phineas and Ferb|OWCA]]. The Fireside Girl and Junior Woodchuck Handbooks are offshoots of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tailored to the organization's planet by the group's leaders.

 

Well, they look alike, and that would explain their relation: before Donald joined the Navy he showed up Jones in a sea-related competion, then Jones used his rank to get back at him; after they both left the Navy (Donald because he was fed up, Jones because Scrooge noticed the abuse and pulled some string), they were both fed up with each other, and started their infamous battles.

 

Tied to Paperinik's origins as a cynical avenger of himself. In the story he first became Paperinik, Donald was VERY bitter and acted in a very OOC manner, to the point of literally kicking a dog because his nephews wanted to keep him and stealing a whole manor from Gladstone (Gladstone won it at the lottery, but Donald got it because of a mail error and kept it), something very easy if he had just left the Navy where he was treated as an idiot, Scrooge tried to pressure him into giving the nephews back in his care (in that very story he offered Donald an underpaid job as a human mechanical fan and put Donald and his nephews against each other over that), saw the overtly lazy Gladstone staying rich in face of his hard work and Launchpad becoming a role model for his nephews in his place while he was away. So, when he got the items of a phantom thief by chance he saw the occasion to get back at them, starting with Scrooge and Gladstone. Scrooge understood what was going on, but did nothing for fear of his nephew going completely mad (and sometimes did things to be targeted by Paperinik and help Donald venting) and Gladstone needed to know his luck wouldn't always give him everything. Then Donald targeted Launchpad, but seeing him helping Darkwing Duck fighting crime provoked an [[Heel Face Turn]], and Paperinik the Devilish Avenger went from an avenger of himself to a Batmanesque superhero, with Scrooge secretly paying for his new weapons made by Gyro.

 

Della and her husband are agents for the High Council.The firecracker incident was just an excuse for an injury obtained while on a mission.The last time she left the boys with Donald was to protect them while she and her husband went on a prolonged assignment. The reason they hasn't come back since is because they are trying to let their children have a normal life while they work. Donald is aware of their involvement which is why he hasn't made an overly large effort to locate them.
