Pepper: Gee, Mr. Phantom, what do you want to do tonight ? The Phantom Blot: The same thing we do every night, Pepper - try to eliminate anything that is magic and take over the world !

I was disappointed that Donald and Della were left out of this episode. It would have been more interesting if they were in it and also took sides the way Scrooge’s parents did. I could see Donald siding with Scrooge being a way for him to relate to being the responsible sibling who doesn’t get credit and gets overshadowed by the more reckless irresponsible sibling, which would set Della off and have her siding with Matilda because she thinks Donald looks down on her. The triplets and Weby also end up taking sides somehow. It is cliche, but it would have been a great way to focus on existing clashes or ones the show never touched on to have them resolve or at least come to understand the other side better and act as character development. For example Scrooge could realize his jabs at Donald can be a bit mean spirited and he admit on screen he is proud of Donald the same way his dad did with him in the last Castle McDuck episode. The episode we got was fine, but it really felt like a missed opportunity for how the main characters could have gotten character development by having four generations of the clan together in an episode.

Pepper is such a fun character, I really hope she gets more development before the end of the show.

*gasp* he intentionally held the Ducktales reviews hostage for a well timed release of the Christmas episode review. Now I get it.

One thing I realised when watching this episode The Blot and Pepper looks to have left their magic vacuum device That means that Scrooge’s parents can essentially turn the mists on and off whenever they want No more 5 year gaps between visits

Honestly, I feel like the Phantom Blot and Pepper deserved to win more than the McDucks did. It really doesn't sit right with me how quickly and easily everyone rallied together and pulled out a win that just felt...unearned. Blot legitimately learned the lesson the episode was trying to teach and grew as a person and I feel like the heroes really didn't in this one and only won because "they're supposed to"

I understood the point of the episode, but Webby still annoyed me a little anyway. Families fight. It wasn't going to be the end of them and if the fight had been bad enough to remain permanant, then it would have meant there was underlying issues long before she came along. Ms. Beakley sheltered her more than I originally thought.

Too bad Scrooge’s other sister and brother, Hortense and Gideon McDuck couldn’t make an appearance in the episode seeing all four McDuck siblings would be amazing 🤗

I really loved Giancarlo Esposito and Amy Sedaris' team up. Not only were both of their characters great this episode, it was fun watching this after Mandalorian. Both actors really shine in the two shows. It was a fun little meta synergy for me for that weekend.

While do I have a feeling Webby sitting on the empty pedestal is foreshadowing an important plot point?

The biggest highlights for me were the Phantom Blot and Pepper's interactions, and when Dewey pretended to be injured. The latter is one of the absolute funniest moments in the whole show. It was also interesting seeing more of Scrooge's family, including his sister Matilda (and yes, this is her debut in animation). Although, I really wish Donald and Della got involved with this episode, especially considering its theme on siblings.

It has one of my favourite Scrooge moments: *inhales* "MMMMAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Im surprised you didnt touch upon the interactions between Scrooge's father and his father

The world will fear the names Phantom Blot and ....Pepper!

I would've thought they'd use the Blessed bagpipes on Whiskers to make him a real pet, a living "Dust Bunny" or something. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

Even though we now know the answer to the "are Pepper and Webby related" question, I don't think it matters either way. A lot of storytelling gives heroes evil counterparts, so maybe it was only a matter of time before it was revealed that FOWL have a member who's the dynamic and sort of crazy one, just like Webby is to the Ducks.

Although it doesn't have to be true; it makes too much sense that Pepper & Webby would be related, given that Webby is an only child who grew up with Beakley someone who clearly hides things from her.

Pepper and Phantom Blot definitely carried this episode on their backs, they were the best part about it and made it worth watching it. Otherwise it'd have been a pretty meh episode imo.

Now that the finale has been a thing, Webby herself has a chance of being immortalized as a statue as well

The expressions are freaking incredible this episode

one big disappointment i have about this episode is the absence of two other siblings we don't see interact much, Della and Donald. For a family episode, they were strangely absent

Theory: Webby is a clone of Mrs. Beakley, was supposed to substitute her but get emotional attached. Pepper can be an older prototype stolen by FOWL.

My friend and I are both the eldest siblings in our own families so we are both used to dealing with pesky siblings that know far too much on how to push our buttons. Seeing Webbys perspective as an only child with an uncomplicated upbringing was pretty interesting to watch. She's never had to deal with this sort of thing before and it was kind of cute how seriously she was taking these pretty normal family squabbles. I also liked Louies facial expressions this episode.

Honestly, this was an okay episode. But, man, there's a lot of fighting in this episode. I know that's the point, but it gets really old, really quick. Honestly, the best parts of the episode were the parts involving Huey & Louie or Phantom Blot & Pepper. Again, an okay episode overall, but not in my Top 10.

A detail I loved that wasn't pointed out in the video: Matildas flower. Don Rosa has a running gag with Matildas hat and the flower in it. For every new panel, the flower loses one of its petals. Now, this gag isn't as easy to do in animation, so I understand why they skipped it. But I love that they still gave her the flower. In present day she wears it in her hair, and in the old photos she has it in the same sort of hat that Rosa always drew her with, and I love that little detail. Plus, I love the casting gag of having an incarnation of the Doctor (Tennant, the 10th) and The Master (Michelle Gomez, Missy) from Doctor Who as siblings. As a Whovian and a Donaldist, it warms my heart when one references the other.

I watched this episode while I was staying in a Disney hotel with my brother and sister. Ironically, it was kind of hard to pay attention sometimes because they were bickering with each other while it was playing.

Little sisters can be lowkey Bullies , if the Big Brother doesn't put them in their place .

one thing I would love to see in a story would be villains who come together, become genuine friends, want to do evil stuff for perfectly justifiable reasons, win , for a society that actually functions with people who are happy in it and THEN things go off the rails and one of the bad guys takes things too far and has to be stopped.

Fan casting idea: Ewan McGregor as Gideon McDuck.

Really wish we would be getting a season 4 to focus on Webby and probably explore the possible connection with Pepper. Also "Bless me...oh that's why he says it!" does this mean that there is a cursed kilt floating around somewhere?

Webby is now officially part of the family if it wasn't with calling Scrooge Uncle Scrooge. I love Pepper and her relationship with Phantom blot seems like Entrapta and Hordack's relationship, and depending on age difference I ship them.

I can't get over their Scot accents I am absolutely OBSESSED

I liked Phantom Blot and Pepper in this episode.

Awh you didn't mention the statues squabbing fight scene! Was hilarious seeing Scoorge great grandfather was super annoying that he was just a bust!

Wow. Did you have these pre-recorded? This is a christmas present!

Hadn't occurred to me until watching this and you pointing the Webby/Pepper thing. Anyway given another theory I've had about Webby's parents, perhaps Pepper is Webby's brainwashed mom working for FOWL. It'd explain the crack on her Egghead helmet.

Fun fact... Scrooge McScrooge could be a translation for the brazilian name of Scrooge in the comics. Patinhas McPatinhas. Also... i do think Pepper and Webby are related somehow.

The Doctor and Missy

Youre comment on family tv shows made me remember why i loved malcolm in the middle so much

5:39 Okay but why was that animation so smooth? Tbh still kinda upset about it being canceled only 3 seasons in, this show is great and its interesting to see stuff pulled from the comics in this new show, it really shows that the show runners care about all the duck lore and everything

I kinda wish we learned the truth about what happened to Ludwig Von Drake in this episode

I love how the first thing Scrooge says is “Did you break it?”

I'm thinking that just like Bob - Agent of Hydra, that Pepper joined F.O.W.L. for the good dental plan.

In case no one's pointed it out, Matilda is voiced by Michelle Gomez, who played Missy on Doctor Who. So it's another Who-Reunion!

This episode featured David Tennant and Michelle Gomez who would both reunite in the 2021 Netflix animated film The Loud House Movie with David as the voice of Angus and Michelle as the voice of Morag

I am, the youngest of 3 siblings my eldest sister is still jealous of everything our middle sister has , all be it family of her own or even who of the two has the more money, health problems and happiness/ hardship of the two... we are kinda like the triplets without being twins.

4:11 4:58 10th Doctor: _THAT CLUMP OF HAIR WAS MY PET!!_ ... I agree...

Damn you pumping out this great content like a god! And I'm LOVING IT!😄

POSSIBLE SPOILERS I think Webby's a clone of Della that F.O,W,L. created some time after their first encounter with Scrooge (in the next episode) in order to find the Papyrus of Binding which can now only be found by Scrooge's true heir as a result of "the first adventure" and I think Beakley (who, herself, might've worked for F.O.W.L. at some point, seeing as their ideals somewhat align) rescued and hid away before they could use her. It'd explain why she'd lie about being Webby's grandma, why she's always been so overprotective of her, why the return of F.O.W.L. seemed to be driving her over the edge in "the Impossibin", and even why they'd need Scrooge's DNA again, seeing as their previous attempt at creating/raising Scrooge's heir to find it failed. Webby's similarities with Della's have been pretty obvious since the second we met the latter and having her be a litteral clone of the boys' mother would cement her as a blood relative (even though she already fits in the family just fine regardless).

As an adult with two older sisters I related to this episode too well!

I wish they could of went with Donald and Della's mother. She's a character I kind of wanted to see animated. Unless she died. I'd not be surprised if Donald and Della's dad is dead. He sounded more unlucky than Donald.

I hate how Pepper ended up as some sort of red herring on Webby’s origin.

Blot and Pepper are my new favorite villains for the show.

Pepper and Phantom Blot are my personal new favorite villains

Pepper could absolutely be Webby's mom. Don't know why I never thought of that earlier.

My biggest disappointment about DuckTales ending with season 3 is that I suspect we won't get the story of Webby and her grandmother told, or at least not told completely. Season one was about Dewey, season 2 about Louie and season 3 about Huey. It made sense to me that season 4 would have been about Webby. Since I LOVE Webby, I really wish that there had been a season about her.

it was a really good Episode to watch. there going to be the repeat of the Show on Disney XD in 2021 i google it so you know what's going on.

Isaac Carson think the webbys mom is part of F.O.W.L and that why Scrooge once’s called her a vanderduck and not vanderquack cause bleakly changed her name to keep her hidden and that’s also why webby was in the mansion for that long

So we all know Pepper is related to Webby, right?

I was doing some research it in the classic darkwing duck series Morgana 5 episodes maybe 6 my count might be off . But I think she is the one character thats not part of the main cast also are gonna cover the Nega Duck comic series ? I was wondering have thought of doing a series of videos either reviewing the episodes of darkwing duck that focus female characters as I don’t think any one has focused just on those episodes.

I think the phantom blot might be my favorite character in the reboot especially when he's teamed up with pepper

If any one wonders, Scrooge was born 1867 so Scrooge is.... Uhm... around 200+...

Actually, Matilda is the older of the McDuck sisters. Hortense is the actual youngest.

Watched this review video after finishing up the season. What do you think about your Webby-Pepper theory after the end, Seaniccus?

My theory on pepper and Webby is that Pepper is her mother now the reason why I think she doesn’t remember Webby or anything is because her memories have been White when she became a minion because according to the minions in Darkwing duck their memories have been wiped and they don’t remember thing they’re more like a storm troopers in Star Wars they don’t remember who they are and they only meant to serve the master

Did the artstyle of this episode seem a bit off to anyone else? Its not bad, just something feels different

the part i didn't like is where scrooge said he doesn't want to be a mcduck anymore because that's doesn't sound like something scrooge would say

Does anyone else feel like Pepper is going to be Webby's mom?

Who is watching this in 2021 while sobbing because the show got cancelled...

6:56 HELLO!!! LOOK!!! HEY LISTEN!!! WATCH OUT!!!

Pepper gets MVC this episode.

the 1 dislike was Glumgold cause he hates McDuck

In the comics scrooge had a sister named dora

TY

To be honest, this episode is my SECOND least favorite Season 3 episode. The constant bickering (which even got to the main characters) got old.

I think webby was MADE to be just DUCKTALES fans

Can I just say, I don't consider the Phantom Blot a bad guy? It's more than understandable why he hates all magic and seeks to destroy it. His village and family were brutally wiped out by magic.

Real ghostbusters sticky business and the revenge of Murray the mantis please!✨!✨!

I have two therious about this episode One maybe pepper is ready sister and her parents are also fowel agents or to pepper is Webby‘a mother but pepper got brain washed and don’t know it her daughter

Hang on. Riddle me this. Webby was raised isolated in a mansion by her British granny, with a British butler and a somewhat elusive Scottish quadzillionaire, whom she idolizes? Why the heck does she have an American accent?

Emu Farm: Australia triggered

Scrooge's sister is very nice. 😀👍

Very philosophical of you

Matlida is now the youngest sister? Huh, thought Hortense was in the comics anyway. Blot and Pepper have the fun dynamic that would've made them a fun pair of recurring characters, similar to the B.A.D. G.U.Y.S from Green Eggs and Ham (good show btw) and...Pinky and the Brain I guess. Also why is Donald and Della left out of seeing their grandparents lol (I mean that would have been TOO many characters for one episode but still, would've had another sibling dynamic for comparison). A little lesser of an episode that still had its moments. Far from one of the greats though.

I wish I had siblings

Like the point of the ep, love paper, hate the sister

Seaniccus did you sign the petition to save Ducktales?

So we're just gonna skip over the fact that Scrooge basically stated that Hortense is alive? Okay.

💛

LOL!

I so ship PepBlot

Do You remember when I say, at least 2 last episode should be 1 hour long. This is the episode that give reason To Do that. Because if Pepper is Webby's Mom, I really wanna know her origin story🤔. If You all are disagree... DO NOT TRY YOUR LUCK WITH ME😡😡😡

I didn't like this Matilda . She is so diferent from the original Matilda, she was characterised for being a sweet, gentile, and sensitive duck in contrast to her grumpy explosive sister, and i know is nessesary to make a few changes, and that this show doesnt want just to repeat what is already done but at least they could have respect the esence of Matilda, i think I feel so dissapointed because she and Matilda used to be my favorite ones from Life and times of scrooge MC duck, but okay i Also dont like her because she is so similar to other characters in the show, the fun, a little weird woman, Della and webby are so similar to her ( even with the hair) and its kind of overused. love ducktales but i didn't like Matilda

To be honest, this episode was the biggest dissapointment of the entire series. I feel like the show runners tried to do a little too much in this episode. Not only did it try to adapt arguably the greatest Don Rosa's uncle Scrooge story (A Letter From Home) it also tried to push the family feud theme a little too hard. It is extremely frustrating seeing Webby not being able to understand the idea of a family fight even though she has lived in the SAME HOUSE with the triplets for far over a year. I also find Pepper super annoying. I'm not angry, just really dissapointed. Well, they can't all be bangers.

Am I the only one that didn’t really like this episode. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad episode it’s just that compared to the other reboot episodes it just seemed kind of bland to me. I really like the Huey and Louie duo so I wish they had more focus in this episode instead of having like one scene. I did like webby in this episode But all together I just feel like this episode was just really mediocre

Jesus the look of this show is bad, it's like grade schoolers are the animators!

Please cut your hair. I've watch all of you videos and watched the "growth" so just, bro it's time. Vut the hair
