The season does take a handful of just okay episodes to hit its stride, but the rest of it is firing on all cylinders. The show continues to be very creative, funny, and have a fine cast of characters. The show is also loaded with references to the Scrooge McDuck comics and other related media. Highlights include an emotional episode that barely even features the main cast and the hilarious The 87 Cent Solution where Scrooge (voiced by David Tennant from Doctor Who and Jessica Jones) loses 87 cents from his money bin and starts losing his mind trying to find it.

Unfortunately, the show is lacking the surprisingly dramatic storylines from the last season, though there are some nice character beats. (And for those who have seen this season, yeah there is THAT storyline, but I still feel it was as strongly done enough.)

The writers remain very good at creating new characters with a few good ones here, including Owlson (Natasha Rothwell), a professional who contrasts with Scrooge and all the other rich billionaires in Duckburg and their shenanigans.

Flintheart Glomgold (Keith Ferguson) is the most prominent villain this season. (Sadly, there is very little of the delightfully awful Magica DeSpell (Catherine Tate) this time.) This could've gone very wrong. The villain who originally was sort of Scrooge's almost-equal and mirror has been turned into a more cartoonish Yosemite Sam type for this show. One could worry about such a one note character being overexposed as well, but the writers completely make this work. Glomgold steals the show every time. His sure self-destructive uber-pettiness, lack of moderation, and increasingly insane and inept plans never fail to delight.

For the first time, the European comics characters are brought to animation. In Europe the duck comics actually sell more than in the states. This has resulted in these comics having a lot of characters specifically created or made big in Europe and only popular in Europe and South America. (And with Disney seeming not to h ave much more interested in creating comics domestically, they now seem to be mostly interested in releasing translations of the European comics, which may mean these characters will become familiar to later American generations.) We get the two most prominent characters: Donald's odd cousin Fethry (Tom Kenny) and villainous billionaire John D. Rockerduck (John Hodgman). Unfortunately for European and South American fans, both get mixed results. Feathery is close to the comics character, but he isn't very interesting. Rockerduck is more fun but less faithful to the original character.

Though I still can't say I'm the biggest fan of the blocky character design, I do respect the fluidity of the animation.

Overall, this show remains one of the best reboots on television.… Expand
