I don't know why you defend some decisions of the Disney company, when they don't know anything about quality or the right audience, they want more money. I think it wouldn't be a problem, if it wasn't all a marketing trick. No creativity. I've already said that the Ducktales reboot didn't really end up being for the kid audience, but for teenagers and the nostalgics who watched Disney Afternoon when they were little kids. Not to mention writing stories and scripts in the Ducktales reboot. It's more on the level of fanfiction written by teenagers than someone who writes stories seriously. As for other Disney series, similar stories, they generally got more viewership than Ducktales, because today's audience (primarily teenagers and young adults) respond that way, but future generations of children prefer comedy more. That's why Big City Greens is gaining more popularity, because the Gravity Falls era is over. Maybe I was wrong about Amphibia, but certainly that series ended at the end, better than the Ducktales reboot finale (although that Amphibia finale was ugh...kinda bad, but better anyway). Owl House will get a third season if I'm not mistaken, but it certainly ends the way creator Dana Terrace decided after she had a falling out with Disney management. I wouldn't talk about politics, but what happened in Florida is more about the mismanagement of politics at Disneyland, but I wouldn't talk about that.
Yes, there is guilt in that, as far as promotion is concerned. But have you ever wondered why Ducktales made it back to Disney XD? Because they told their story when Della Duck got home and it served no further purpose. This with F.O.W.L. was a flop, while for Negaduck, yes, they needed more focus on it, but because of the Jim Cummings situation, they couldn't do it. The children got bored of it and decided to watch another series. I know friends who gave up on Ducktales after the second season. But yeah, it wasn't fair that they ended up airing Ducktales on Mondays when no one is watching, though again that's all due to the drop in ratings. Back then, it was measured by viewership on TV, not on social networks.
Those Twitter links from 2017 are one thing, and the interview from 2018 and 2019 is another. Then the Ducktales reboot started airing so I understand all the excitement, but later not really, except for true fans who love that series. I'm sure Anselmo had to say something positive about it, because he didn't want to offend the fans, but the fact is that he preferred Legend of the Tire Caballeros to Ducktales. And I didn't say he hated Ducktales, just that he didn't. It's one thing to hate, it's another to not love. Huge difference and it's unfortunate that you misinterpreted my answer. Maybe Anselmo loved Ducktales in the sense that Donald had badass moments, I agree and I love Donald in Ducktales, but I don't like how he got his treatment there, but long story short, and they've talked about it before.
Well, Disney's Ducktales merchandise isn't much more marketable than it was when the original Ducktales aired. That podcast is no longer broadcast, because no one cares anymore. But there is one thing you will like. Ducktales at EPCOT will be back though, so it's not all lost, but like I said before, I don't think it's going to have the same passionate audience it had five years ago and that's just the way it is. There are more who will prefer the original Ducktales and comics. Yes, there are already comics that use Donald's nephews and maybe Daisy Duck differently, but not in the way that many people think. The children's book Duckscares as well as the Area 15 comics from Topolino have independent development from Ducktales.

And no, the Darkwing Duck reboot will have nothing to do with the Ducktales reboot.
Sorry about this, I partially agree with you and Disney management is more to blame, but kids just don't like Ducktales. Except for exceptions. I know we disagree on many things, but simply put, the Ducktales reboot is going to be out of date soon. Especially as soon as the new Duck series comes out. And you know how Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers fared. So did the Ducktales reboot. Sorry about this, but I certainly respect your opinions.
Okay, where are you getting the knowledge DuckTales 2017 isn't popular anymore? On social media like Twitter and Tumblr, they're still super positive on the show. Sure this site isn't positive on the show but it's just one site and the other sites are still positive whenever the show is brought up. I doubt it's out of date, every time I see a top 10 best animated reboots list, this series always appears on them. It certainly isn't out of date, how is it out of date. Gravity Falls is still seen as great now and if the romances didn't clog up the show, Star vs could've been seen as still great now (even then, the stuff up to Battle for Mewni is still highly regarded).
And I think Angones already said the reason season 3 was on Disney XD was his and the crew's own decision to ensure episodes wouldn't be out of order and have more control on airing. suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/626457479853785088/because-of-how-the-pandemic-extended-the-hiatus Again, I don't think DuckTales airing on Mondays was a result of low ratings, for Disney XD 2020 standards, it was still highest rated and series finale still got a lot of promotion.
Kinda surprised no one mentions Matt Youngberg even though he's co-creator and has as much authority on the show as Angones.
Plus what about that Art of DuckTales book coming out, the fact it is getting one should be proof the show was successful (I attribute the lack of season 4 to be more due to Disney not wanting to do overarching story shows anymore (though this and Amphibia were far enough to keep a full final season rather than compressed like Owl House) and Disney cartoons don't normally go more than 3 seasons)?
So, what could the show have done to be more successful then? I doubt more Donald would led to more success given when Legend of the Three Caballeros did it, that show was far less successful than DuckTales with even lower viewership on Disney Plus, less people talk about it, it's never ever trended on social media, and even when it did air on Disney XD, the ratings were even worse than DuckTales with its' highest ratings being 57,000 which is even lower than DuckTales' worst ratings at 102,000.
As for if a new Duck cartoon will use the same animation as the 1990s, I doubt it will happen. After all, the Rudish Mickey shorts, Chip n Dale Park Life, and Disney Junior Mickey cartoons had a different animation too and I'm sure that style would cost too much money for a TV show which is a no-no for Disney unfortunately. Sure Legend of the Three Caballeros used classic style, but that was made by Disney Digital Network (which has shut down) rather than Disney TVA like the others.
Also, Ben Siemon (one of the writers for DuckTales 2017) confirmed the Seth Rogen pitched was passed for Darkwing Duck so no idea what's going on there:
