Nah, I was just surprised how you found resources so quick. It's understandable since until now this show is US only. I also have some pdf scans on my PC while possessing the legal copies on my shelf, when I don't want to carry all my books to another country...

Minotaur, people from the US uploads the material on the web, tipically in the form of torrent. And we download it. Yes, we steal it. Is this what you wanted to hear?

Let me put it this way: I wanted to watch it as well but didn't know how, so I asked. Is it clear?

- One of the Buzzards mention that Scrooge spents fortune on... ANTI-MAGIC protection for the Money Bin. An hint of Magica DeSpell?

- Webby mentions "Plain Awful"(!) I belive it's the first time we hear the name in animation.

- Huey dosen't appear in the episode... that's interesting.

- I'm not spoil it but Gyro mention a certain catchprase that made me squealed with joy... 

- Man, the face Dewey made after he got cood in the finger with a needel. It felt like realistic pain, not cartoonish one. There was something odd about that moment. 

- Was that the ship from "Treasure of the Golden suns" in the background in one scene?

• A hint of Magica DeSpell? —> I'm afraid not. He mentions right afterwards that they are to counteract the miscellaneous "vengeance curses" he has hanging on his head, presumably of the kind Glomgold's jewel carried in the pilot.

• Plain Awful was already mentioned in a newspaper clipping in the pilot ("Sky Pirates Sighted Over Plain Awful"). Incidentally, between that clipping and this episode showing us an "atlas of Plain Awful", it seems to me like Scrooge, Della and Donald already discovered Plain Awful long ago and it integrated itself into the modern world.

• Good catch on the Golden Suns boat. What with the time tub, Armstrong, the Genie's Lamp and so on, it does appear like a high number of the adventures from the old series are retconned as having already happened before Scrooge met the nephews. Indeed, one of the Golden Coins from Golden Suns is among the stuff cluttering up Scrooge's garage in the pilot… Makes me a bit sad that we probably won't see El Capitan in the new series but ah well.

It would be interesting if they would found a way to bring the El Capitain...

As for the "Plain Awful" mention, what I have in mind is that it's the first time somebody said the name out-loud. I'm only seen it writen down before


They did hinted Terries and Fermies on Webbies wall before and now one of upcomming episode will center around them (they ARE in the title) so I wonder will they bring Plain Awful as well... they where one of few things I think would work in the old show and it would be a treat to finaly see them in animation.

Yes, so about the Terri-Fermians. The Tumblr Side of the Duckfandom is very resourceful about DuckTales 2017, most of all because several of the show's animators and writers have blogs and interact with the fanblogs.

And someone just leaked concept-art of the rebooted Terri-Fermians…

And…

How to put this…

I feel like Gyro is small potatoes next to these guys (assuming it isn't a hoax, but it's so out-there I find that hypothesis unlikely)…

Turns out that Well-traveled teen Lena actual name is Mysterious’ & ‘Edgy teen Lena...

EDIT : 
But seriously show... Please don't put the word "Edgy" in your character description. At this point it's feels like pandering... It dosen't make you feel more adult. It make you look desperate to sound more adult.

I can't wait for Lena to reveal she was Shadow the Hedgehog the whole time

EDIT: Those terrifermians aren't a leak, that's from the animatics trailer they've shown on one of the panels ages ago, it's where we also saw that the McDuck Clan ghosts will appear. That said, I hadn't connected the dots yet to those being terrifermians, it just looked like an evil giant squirrel to me.

I know I've been critical of DuckTales '17's character redesigns in the past, but I kind of like these new Terrifermians. A little less cartoony, and more what you'd expect an underground species to look like. Not sure what direction they're planning to go with them, but since they appeared in all of one Barks story, I feel taking liberties with their origin/characterization is less egregious than the changes they've made to, say, Gyro or HD&L.

The bit about the Clan McDuck ghosts is news to me. Do we know if it'll be in a dream sequence? Is this where Fergus appears?

No matter how many times I look at that Terrifermian I can't decide whether it's supposed to look ominous or terrified. Maybe it's both, and the terrifermians being peaceful will be a twist in the episode. "The humans ducks are the real monsters" and all that.

Yeah, it's my working theory as to the meaning of Angones' cryptic statement that it will all "be explained" in the episode.

Theres no party like Beagle party... 





It's non-Bakrs concept, but the idea that there are diffrent groups of Beagle Boy all over the world (French Beagle Boys, Canadian Bealge Boys etc.) and are all related but somehow also a work like a organization was establish in many comics so it's fine by me...

Yup. I was immediately reminded of a particular Lockman/Alvarado story from the 70's with a similar premise of a big Beagle Boys "convention" in Duckburg, though I can't find it on INDUCKS… I think it was in an issue of Uncle Scrooge?

[Monkey_Feyerabend]

I remember a recent story by Korhonen with the ducks visiting Finland for Scrooge's affairs and Rockerduck interfering by using the services of the local branch of the Beagle Boys, much cheaper than the American one.
