Ahem. The proximity of Italian and French allows me to parse the menaing of these dialogues, but I imagine they'd be totally obscure for most people. If you'd be so kind as to provide translation?

I'll do it:
"Wow! Uncle's Scrooge M.I.A. has become bigger and agent Qu-Qu 7 has made a career!"
"Forget M.I.A.! Everything is different here!"
Anyway, my opinion is that, although certain series are supposedly set in the standard universe, practically speaking they are set in a different continuity. The Donald Duck from most of the stories? Obviously these stories are set in a continuity in which Paperinik doesn't exist. The Goofy from most of the stories? Obviously these stories are set in a continuity in which Super Goof doesn't exist. And so on.
I will also link this recent thread of the Papersera forum about a similar theme: the user who opened it thinks that modern writers are so focused on alternate identities/costumed stories/parodies that they can't do good stories about standard Donald anymore. A perfect example is Topolino #3000, an issue which has about twice (324) the number of pages of a regular issue. They tried doing stories with the most important characters who have shown up in these three thousands issues, so they included (counting only the stories from the Duck universe): a Scrooge story with Donald as a supporting character, a Paperinik story, a HDL story, a story without a title character that doesn't feature Donald but features (among the others) Scrooge, Gyro and Daisy, a Gyro story, a Gladstone story, a Beagle Boys story, a Gus story, and a Donald Duckling story. There's not even a story with "classic" Donald as the main character!
