The Mighty Ducks (animation): Difference between revisions

* [[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: Draganuns has proven himself more than a match for most of the ducks in hand-to-hand combat, yet on many occasions he puts them in over the top [[Death Trap|Death Traps]] that they'll be able to escape fairly easily. And he's not the only villian guilty of this either.

* [[Bratty Half Pint]]: Buzz Blitzman, in all fairness he's a [[Child Prodigy]] without a family who's pretty much [[Fostering for Profit|forced to invent stuff for people who wont even let him see hocky games when he wants]].

* [[City of Adventure]]: The city of Anaheim.

* [[City of Weirdos]]: Almost everything that happens to the ducks, happens in Anaheim. Justified in the fact that Lord Dragaunus landed there first, and is hiding out.

* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: The Ducks' contract allowed them to build a headquarters under the hockey rink. You shoulda seen the fine print on that one.

* [[Fake Defector]]: Duke in "To Catch A Duck"

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Lucretia DeCoy in "A Traitor Among Us".

* [[The Final Temptation]]: Dragaunus eventually gets tired of the Ducks constantly thwarting his schemes and offers them the means to go back to Puckworld, leaving Earth to him. Subverted slightly since his henchmen were ready with a bazooka in case they refused the offer. {{spoiler|The [[Bad Future]] seen in that episode is the result of the Ducks accepting the offer}}.

** [[The Hero]]: Wildwing

** [[The Lancer]]: Duke

* [[Mind Control]]: "Phil in the Blank"

* [[No Fourth Wall]]

* [[Petting Zoo People]]: The Ducks are basically bulky humans - complete with hair and breasts - with variants of [[Donald Duck]]'s face slapped on.

* [[Punny Name]]: "Duke L'Orange".

** Puckworld... [[Howard the Duck (Comic Book)|Duckworld]]..?

** When a [[Heroic BSOD|disillusioned]] Wildwing [[Ten Minute Retirement|temporarily leaves the team]], Nosedive gets to wear the leader's mask and tells his worried comrades "[[The Lion King|Hakuna Matata]]" (which, as you know, means no worries for the rest of your days).

* [[Surrounded By Idiots]]: Dragaunus says so in no uncertain terms ''very'' often.

* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Right before he lets himself fall into dimensional Limbo, {{spoiler|Canard tells Wildwing to take the mask of Drake Dukane and with it the position of resistance leader}}. Wildwing only does so at the end of the pilot after overcoming his feelings of guilt and inadequacy.

* [[Villain Teleportation]]: Done to ridiculous extremes, the villains tend to teleport away when things go bad.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Each Duck (and each of the villains) has their own personal weapon. Wildwing has his [[I Know Madden Kombat|explosive puck]] launcher (essentially a grenade launcher), Duke L'Orange uses a [[Laser Blade|laser sword]], Tanya has various gadgets on her wrist device including a [[Chainsaw Good|small chainsaw]], and the rest of the ducks mostly use pistols.
