I Can Die Happily Now: Darkwing Duck and Gizmoduck Showed Up in the ‘DuckTales’ Reboot

I’m really trying not to curse in excitement over the DuckTales reboot. I mean, it’s a family friendly Disney channel show… but *redacted* all that. I’m too hype that my people’s finally showed up. We’ve been waiting for it since the reboot was announced. DuckTales updated the anthem to become a harder banger. Their storylines now are way more intricate, hilarious, and G’d up than the first time around. Listen man, we’re going to have to throw DuckTales up there with Steven Universe and Adventure Time. I’m not hearing otherwise. Thirteen episodes into their first season and they’re coming for that title. What we’ve been waiting for finally came in the episode “Beware The B.U.D.D.Y. System.” They done brought Darkwing Duck back, and I dunno how to act!

Yeah, man! Look at ya man Drake Mallard back in this flesh! This time around tho he’s just a fictional character on a tv show. It’s a good Easter egg. A brilliant way to incorporate Darkwing into the DuckTales universe. Your boy back in the flesh and still getting dangerous! I’m here for it. I see you, DW. I see you, my guy. Woooo, Fenton got a new look and last name?! Not only do we get a Darkwing Duck cameo, we get the hero Duckbuerg deserves! Yeah, come through Lin Manuel-Miranda, come through! Yes sir, the charming and plucky Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera is here. You may remember him as the hero Gizmo. And note that last name hyphen so you know it’s Latinx out here. Notice ya duck is brown too? I’m with it! I wish I was ther…
