THE SCROOGE AND WEBBY TWIST WAS NOT OUT OF NOWHERE! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! Welcome to my fucking TED Talk!!!
Look, I’m autistic. This show is my special interest, my comfort media, the thing that’s been there for me through it all. I know most people are not nearly as obsessive about it, and haven’t watched every episode like six times, which I have.
But to brush off a twist that you don’t like, simply because you didn’t see it coming, isn’t right. The foreshadowing was there as early as the pilot, with Webby mirroring the Scrooge statue. It’s in Toth Ra, when Scrooge desperately searches for her and calls out her name, even though Louie also got lost with her. It’s literally the plot of Confidential Casefiles, where Scrooge realizes she’s as bold and adventurous as he is and immediately starts to build a bond with her.
It’s in Last Crash and Treasure of the Found Lamp and Nightmare on Killmotor and the end of Moonvasion. It’s right there in their subplot in Double O Duck, it’s in Webby’s worry for her family in Phantom & the Sorceress and her need for his approval in New Gods. It’s in the Fight for Castle McDuck, where she brings the family back together, and in Foreverglades and Santa Stole Christmas where Webby parent-traps Scrooge into mending his relationships with his exes.
That’s just what I can come up with from reading the episode titles off Wikipedia, and I guarantee you I missed some! It’s so engrained in the show that you find it in almost all their interactions. Webby is so much like Scrooge and wants to make him proud and Scrooge loves her more than anyone else and is always so proud of her even if he struggles to say it.
The reason no one saw it coming is, I think, a mix of the show being cut short and good writing. Webby’s plot definitely could’ve—and should’ve—had more to it, but they were trying to pay off a lot(the resolutions for their entire ensemble cast, the Disney Afternoon references and plots they’d planned, the plot with Bradford that started as early as the pilot). If they’d had more time things would be different! But also, this was an incredible writing crew! Frank Angones worked on Wander Over Yonder before this, and Dana Terrace made Owl House afterward. From what I’ve read in interviews and the art book, they kept the twist to the writer’s room and told David Tennant, to support his performance as Scrooge. And then you get to the end and it’s like “oh yeah, we told Kate Micucci the day she came to record that episode” or something like that. Not even the crew knew what they were foreshadowing! But if you take the time to rewatch it after you’ve found out, it’s literally all over the series.
Anyway, as Frank Angones once said, “I must establish an elaborate series of callbacks and payoffs or else I simply vanish.”
First off, I resonate so much with the first paragraph, especially the last bit. I'm autistic myself. DuckTales has been one of my biggest hyperfixations since late 2019, it brings me so much joy and always makes me happy, and it has provided me entertainment and levity throughout the pandemic and my last two years of college. I also enjoy rewatching episodes; hell, my best friend and I rewatched random episodes of the first two seasons on Disney XD while waiting for the season 3 premiere date and I am not ashamed to say it. lmao
Second of all, you are preaching to the choir! I will not lie when I say that I didn't see the twist coming myself. It shocked me to the point of exiting out of Disney XD On Demand instead of simply pausing the finale just to process it. But between that and reading the Den of Geek and SyFy articles about it, I quickly realized that it was a damn good twist. What I especially love about it is how all the hints of foreshadowing were implemented throughout the series! Along with some of the moments, scenes, and plotlines you mentioned, there are a few more I can think of on top of my head:
FINALLY A METAL SONIC WHO IS SILLY!!!!!!
He’s the most annoying thing I’ve ever seen. I love him.
He's the most annoying thing ever and I love him for it!
He’s the closest thing we have to Shard outside of his home comics.
Did the writers SERIOUSLY have Yudias fucking say that?!?
I know the subtitles aren't out just yet, but after seeing this earlier, I just have to get this out of my chest: I fucking hate them and their treatment towards Manabu right now! 😠
hey guys do you think amy has abandonment issues or
no its ok because it made me completely rethink the mania adventures special
anyone else now thinking about how she saw him abandoned and walked across the area to reunite him with his parental figure. breaths a sigh of relief when it works.
Awww!
Sooo has anyone else noticed that Chaos Sonic seems to know things about Sonic that he logically shouldn't?
He constantly brings up Sonic's failures, describes him as looking "sad and pathetic" and being "tragic" when Sonic doesn't even look upset, and seems to have inherited chili dogs as his favorite food to boot.
But the Chaos Council doesn't know about Sonic's biggest failures. They don't know that he feels sad about anything, or that he likes chili dogs. Not even Nine knows these things in detail, and even if he did, we're not given any indication that he told the Council anything after giving them the initial idea for Chaos Sonic by accident.
And yet, he takes every opportunity to poke at Sonic's insecurities, even targeting his friends and blaming him for getting them hurt.
How does he know Sonic well enough to make these kinds of targeted remarks? I like that he can, it leads to a lot more interesting interactions than if he couldn't, but what's the in-universe explanation?
Well, Sonic absorbed some of the Prism's energy when it shattered, and Chaos Sonic was created mostly with the energy from the shards. While this could give them a sort of mental connection, it doesn't seem to go both ways, and I have a slightly more specific theory for how it all works.
That being: I think the Prism itself knows Sonic. Which is kind of a bold claim, I think, but hear me out.
🤔 That’s a good theory.
We saw how devastated Sonic was when the Loop-de-loop got destroyed.
What if something happens to the palm tree?! 😱
THEY BETTER NOT!

Waiting for the next episodes to drop be like:
And any show in general.
O_O That feeling when you missed the latest Go Rush episode due to watching professional theatre actors goof up Peter Pan, only to come across the preview for next week’s episode and you realize Rush Duels are bringing back a memorable magic/trap card duo!

I love Chaos Sonic, but Shard will always be my favorite!
This scene is slightly different in older trailers!
For a split second, Ryota forgot he wasn’t supposed to be smiling. 😆
