Captain Crash: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 138:
** By the time of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', he seemed to have improved (or forced himself to get better because they only had one plane, as opposed to ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]''' never ending supply). He'd crash occasionally, but that was usually due to getting shot down. There were still a lot of jokes and [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to his poor landing skills, but on that show it had become more of an [[Informed Ability|Informed Inability]]. Although, in one episode where Lauchpad doesn't appear, Darkwing crashes his craft himself and then comments, "Launchpad would have been proud."
** Received [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] at least twice on ''[[Gargoyles]]'', with the drivers of crashed helicopters musing, "Any landing you can walk away from..."
** In the ''[[DuckTales (2017)]]'' version of DuckTales, Launchpad doesn't even grasp the idea of flying a plane or driving a train ''without'' crashing it.
*** In stark contrast to Launchpad, Della can ''land'' a plane safely, but zigzags and barrel rolls a lot when it is airborne; Scrooge get airsick when she is the pilot, a problem he never had with Launchpad.
* Ace in the ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' cartoon and comic. Lampshaded in one instance when he says over the radio, "I'm going in!", to which Duke replies, "Every time you say that it gets expensive!"
** Cobra troops often joke about their own Air Devil pilots. "What's the last thing to go through an Air Devil's head when he hits the ground? His engine."
