DARKWING DUCK thread by Timewarrior

Any fans of this one? Care to discuss the greatness of the show, the recent resurgence in the comic books and other great things about it?

He couldnt polish Count Duckulas coffin!

It has been a long time since I had seen Darkwing Duck, but I loved watching it when it was on TV. Such a good show.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE LOVE IT!!!

We can't forget Tail Spin.

I loved Darkwing Duck...what a hilarious send-up of all those "masked avenger" stylistic tropes. I also loved that his level of competency was always rather questionable, which made for good entertainment.

There was a video game made for the NES while the show was still on-air. While it was a standard side-scrolling adventure game of the time, the atmosphere of the game somehow emulated that of the show fairly well! I never did finish it, though; it was a rental.

Let's not be nasty Hoosier. Loved the video game. though the final boss was a bit hard.

Favorite villians: Megavolt, Taurus Bulba (especially in Steerminator), and the rest of the fearsome five.

Best goodies: Darkwing himself, Launchpad, Morgana, and Gizmo duck.

It's just a shame that they ended the series early. They had more episodes planned, but disney pulled the plug. . .

I am the BLISTER, that BURSTS in your BOOTS!

Yes, thanks you. I made that plane out of legos I loved this show so much.

I made mini TARDIS consoles out of my legos.

my favorite scene from that show was when don yelled "fire at will" then "No, don't fire at will, he is my second lieutenant, fire at the sea duck!"

Or how about, "My door is always open sometimes."

LOL both of those quotes are great. *sigh* How I miss such good classic television cartoons. It's a shame it's all CG stuff with very little "meat" to the episodes.

Coolest thing about "Tail Spin"? Shere [sic] Khan, specifically, the dulcet tones of his voice. When I first heard him, I wondered, "Merciful Mogg! Did they dig up grave of George Sander and reanimate his body to reprise his role from 'The Jungle Book'?!" The credits sped by so fast I could never catch who played him. Later, I was told Tony Jay, whom I first remember as the Master-like villain from "Beauty and the Beast" (the CBS series with Ron Perlman), had landed the part. D@mn, I loved his voice!!! Now, he's gone, too.

Sincerely,

Bill

Let's get dangerous!

Just read the second issue, loving it. Quakerjack is off the wall! What has twisted him so bad, I can only guess and can't wait to find out. He's really gone hardcore. . .

And Darkwing is getting back into it!

Yeehaw!

I sometimes had dirty thoughts about that show. . .god I need help. . .

toadwart!!

Just read episode 3 in the series a few days ago, and man I am still reeling over who the big bad was! I thought it would be Negaduck, but when it wasn't, my god I nearly went insane!

DW was Disney's last good series, before they began their cookie cutter syndrome the following year with Goof Troop, Quack Pack, and so on.
