Well say all you want but this show knows how to make me hyped. Having all the villains team-up would be something I would loved as a kid and I still somewhat get chills from the concept. Looks like we will be building to a very exiting season climax... and looks like Donald will get some action.
And you are right about grown-up Kit... I got misslead by his body shape (plus the fact he is an adult here)

Bubba's joined the team, and he looks modern?! I'm aware that most fans didn't like him in the original show and felt he was a poor addiction to the main cast, but I'm guessing that his part in this show will be shorter and probably more fun. Considering what they've done with the DT-exclusive characters so far, I have hopes that they make him more enjoyable.
Much like with Webby, Mrs. Beakley and Dijon/D'jinn this is actualy a chance to took what was problematic about th oryingal character and make him finally cool and interesting. The entire point of a reboot.
While I never cared for oryignal Bubba's personality at least I did liked Frank Walers voice work and overal design was cute. I never hated him like Doofus which was annoying in almost every aspect... I still would like to see their version of Doofus admiration for Launchpad McQuack... which, let's face it most likley would turn to be Duck Tales version of the movie "Misery" seeing what psycopath this Doofus is.
Also if we have Daisy this means... WE CAN FINALY HAVE DONALD AND GLADSTONE FIGHT FOR HER!!! Her design seams to be inspried by the old "Donald's Diary " short.
Also hope to see more Fethry in the future. Bah! I want to see entire family reunion episode (still not to late to introduce Grandma and Gus you know)

I would like to note that the butterfly-bear in that poster is almost certainly a Wuzzles reference, considering the show's affinity for Disney Afternoon references.
So looks like Scrooge will be making that trip to the Land of Wuz to capture Wuzzles for his zoo after all! (Of course, he won't actually capture them. In the end, he'll leave them in peace, updated-environmentally-conscious-rather-than-unsentimental-expoitative-businessman that he is.)
And all Scrooge's villains teaming up ... we knew that was coming, right? As if we've never seen that before.
Also ... considering Daisy's never been seen or mentioned up till this point ... would this show be gutsy enough to give her a universe-specific introduction story? A sort of How-Donald-met-Daisy revelation? Oh, who am I kidding, of course they would. Actually, with Donald stranded on the moon., Daisy's storyline may have nothing to do with him, at least initially.
HUM, interesting. I just realise this older teaser shows Beaks nephew (?) as well on some of vacation/party with Doofus, Goldie and Louie.... and he start shoting lasers out of his eyes.
From this, the poster and the teaser that there will be episode about some billionares club "partent and child team competition" with Scrooge brining in Louie, Beaks brining his home made robot-child and Doofus brining in Goldie as his gaurdian so he can have an adult to acompany him (and Goldie most likley wanting to humiliate Scrooge or something)
Also, I do hope that all the time paradox will give an opertunity to bring Rockerduck back, even for a cameo.

It just struck me, if this poster is meant to illustrate Season 2 as a whole, it's possible that characters that have already appeared (Fethry, Ludwig, the Caballeros, Gladstone, etc.) might not make any return appearances (this season, at least).
and Doofus brining in Goldie as his gaurdian so he can have an adult to acompany him (and Goldie most likley wanting to humiliate Scrooge or something)
But… Doofus has (slavishly obedient) parents. Why would he need Goldie? I think it more likely this is connected to Goldie's becoming a mentor figure to Louie as teased at the end of The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck.
Also, I do hope that all the time paradox will give an opertunity to bring Rockerduck back, even for a cameo.
Angones has said he intends to bring Rockerduck back, if only because he's very fond of John Hodgman's voice performance. Might not be this season, though.
like I've said before, look at all the care and love they're pouring on all those disney afternoon references
wouldn't it be great to have a show that treats these disney character comics I've heard so much about with the same reverence instead of using them as a cheap springboard

I agree, of course, about Angones' mistreatment of the comics characters, but he's not even treating the Disney Afternoon stuff with respect either. His treatment of Don Karnage and company was lazy tongue-in-cheek postmodernism all the way, with none of the comical but colorful and swashbuckling pulp-adventure flavor of Talespin. Like all his other allusions to earlier, better properties, it appeared to be researched by skimming Wikipedia and Youtube. And of course, not using Jim Cummings to voice the character was inexcusable (and no, I don't care if it's supposed to be Karnage's "descendant"--we all know recasting the character was just a craven kowtowing to PC). The prospect of Angones getting to play with other Talespin characters nauseates me, frankly; that show was the only Disney Afternoon offering that was as good as and often better than Ducktales, being the creation of Barks fan Jymn Magon. At its best, it combined the qualities of good Barks adventure stories with the ambiance of Milt Caniff's Terry and the Pirates, and had many exciting and some surprisingly moving episodes, as well as great voice work and appealing animation design. It was much more cohesive in tone than Darkwing Duck, which was a funny but often very jarring blend of Ducktales-style character-driven "realism" and Looney-Tunes-style wackiness; Darkwing in many ways was the closest to DT 2017 in tone, too often undermining its attempts at character moments and genuine derring-do with a "we're only kidding" tone; it's not surprising that Angones seems the fondest of Darkwing. However, the original Darkwing Duck at least had a ton of good jokes, excellent animation, and the inimitable voice work of Jim Cummings; Angones choosing to recast the voice of Drake Mallard, the persistently unsatisfactory animation of his series, and his writing team's persistently self-satisfied and unfunny writing, make it certain that his attempts at Darkwing will, like all his other reimaginings, be much worse than the original. The only consolation is that this show hopefully hasn't much longer to last; watching a lot of great characters and stories get ground through the same predictable snarky and shallow mill is not a pleasant spectacle.
Oh, is this how they intend to get around the "Disney won't commission a fourth season" rule? Also, whee! Scrooge's blue coat and a classic sailor suit.
- Future episode will reveal why Donald Duck is mad all the time.
…dear DuckTales 2017 writing crew: this is a fundamentally very questionable premise, but all the moreso when you have failed to pay more than lip-service to the idea of an anger-prone Donald. You have consistently written Donald as anxious and weary, which I suppose is a valid way to write the character, though not as fun as the cartoons' genuinely hair-trigger-tempered duck or Barks's supremely "vital" character (as GeoX puts it), but will make any such "why is he angry story?" fall flat, I fear.
This show's cast is way, WAAYYYY too large already. Adding 15-20 more new characters to the show, that are all going to need their own introduction, is completely idiotic. It's all part of "fan-service" I suppose (in other words: fans going online and whining about "I want this character in the show" until they get their way (even if the character in question doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the DT franchise) like a bunch of spoiled toddlers). We're truly living in the dark ages of TV animation.
That "Quack Pack" reference is inevitably going to be another case of "hurr durr, look how bad that show was compared to ours, hurr durr".

If the Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop-Goofy, the Wuzzles, the additional TaleSpin characters, etc. are all one-episode characters or cameos, it might work ... but with huge fan followings of their own (well, okay, maybe not the Wuzzles) they all have the potential to overshadow the Ducks and take this show far, far away from its stated inspiration.
I'm surprised at how little the Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop-Goofy and the TaleSpin bears have been stylized, given what this show has done to the Ducks and to a lesser extent Darkwing and cohorts. Were they to afraid of a negative backlash? Seems unlikely with this crew, but makes you wonder. And yes, the reason we're seeing an adult Kit and Molly is probably Jungle Book-related licensing issues. And I hope they stay with Tress MacNeille for Daisy's voice rather than cast another TV celebrity,
The Wuzzles in particular have been completely overhauled ... but despite the fact that this was probably my favorite cartoon growing up (I seem to be one of the few Wuzzles fans here?) I think the redesigns are appropriate for this show. We'll probably see these characters reimagined as genetic experiments by Gyro or Ludwig or some such. They wouldn't have worked in DuckTales '17 in their original forms. It's possible they won't even be called "Wuzzles" ... but I'm still looking forward to their return after over three decades.
But yes, overall, it's clear this show is increasingly being targeted towards Disney Afternoon fans, rather than those of us who came into the fandom through the comics, although that was pretty apparent early on. The Quack Pack image is odd ... why add Scrooge, Beakley-17 dressed as Beakley-87, and Della? Just Donald and the boys in their '17-verse designs would have driven the point home fine. And there already was a visual reference to Quack Pack on DuckTales '17 (this very image, in fact, minus the extraneous characters), so this seems redundant. Quack Pack is the show that DuckTales '17 most closely resembles in tone ... has Angones ever commented negatively about it? I guess we'll have to wait for the video of this panel discussion to possibly get some more context to all this.
The Wuzzles in particular have been completely overhauled ... but despite the fact that this was probably my favorite cartoon growing up (I seem to be one of the few Wuzzles fans here?) I think the redesigns are appropriate for this show. We'll probably see these characters reimagined as genetic experiments by Gyro or Ludwig or some such. They wouldn't have worked in DuckTales '17 in their original forms. It's possible they won't even be called "Wuzzles" ... but I'm still looking forward to their return after over three decades.
I'm also a Wuzzles fan - and I agree that these versions will probably be genetic experiments, as that was my first thought as well when I saw the re-designed Butterbear.
