Well... I did like the design of godess of death and her wolf and there was a line or two that I found amusing.... which I don't remember so that's saying something.
Yhe, I didn't cared for this epsiode as well.
I woudn't mind them doing entire wrestling themed episode... I'm not much of a fan but I sort of respect it's "art" as type of overblown stunt show (some WWE wrestler personas are very amusing to watch). Even the idea of combining it with Norse Mythology had a spark of idea to it...
But the execution...? Shesh!
I do think few things made this episode bad :
1) The nephews personalities felt more caricatures of themselves then usual (as TV TROPES likes to put it - "Flanderization") Out side of being annoying, I simply don't buy their motivations (Why would Huey cared so much about not knowing about wrestling?) Scrooge also was taken to exteme... it's one thing for him to be some type of savior but just the randomness of him buying into his wrestling persona as "the villian" dosen't work in the context of what's going on. Combine all of this with over-the-top premise and this episodes looses any reletability. It's a hat on a hat if I ever seen one. For the same reason the moral dosen't work as well.
2) 90% of the episode takes place in... well, one place and is one fight scene after another and you feel monotony very fast. What works in 7 minute Popeye short dosen't work as a 22 minutes Duck Tales episdes... and even then a Popeye short would had more creativity to the violence and known how to make it look fun, which bring me to the next point...
3) As Baar Baar Jinx pointed out - it's take a lot of fun from watching fights when the characters geting injure are kids (I'm also not crazy about the idea of the kids being able to fight this good... .. but ok, it's a cartoon I will roll with that... ) It was to off to be a fun "rumble" as the creators intended.
I also mised explenation how Mrs. Beakley got there and I think the kids watching the show will be extra confused by all the wrestling archetypes and (I guess) satire.
...and I guess the animation team didn't cared that much for the episode as well seing some the errors :
This episode would work better if there was build up to a fight for the first half and the would save it for the climax of the episode or at least second half... But there was so much wrong with this one I would take an 100% re-write to save this episode. One of my least favorite.
Hopefuly next one will be better
