Meh. Their fault for caring this much about a corporate franchise.
For the record, I never watched this either, but labeling everything "corporate" and then shitting on the people who care about it isn't great.
Yeah, this was predictable, but it's still like telling people they never should have cared about Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, or something. They'll get to everything eventually, and everyone had a childhood, and something they care about.
I'll never mock someone for having cared about something when they were young, and being upset about what the locusts have done to it.
It's not the people who watched Chip 'n Dale's fault that there are evil people out there who will fuck with everything we hold dear.
To channel a bit of cringe: as a nerd and a gamer, I stand with the Chip 'n Dale fans. They did absolutely nothing wrong. They watched cartoons as kids, and then watched the globohomo scum shit all over it. That's it. We've all been there.
Chip n dale, darkwing duck and ducktales were huge parts of my childhood viewing. The last ducktales was already shit with how much they tried to push lgbt into a kids show
People keep telling me that it was actually a good reboot, totally worthy of the Ducktales name!
...And I just look at how the show took what was clearly the original Darkwing Duck, made him that universe's version of Negaduck for wanting things to be like the original series, and then told me that they're just fans with their own vision and I should just give them a chance to make everything completely different! It doesn't exactly give me the confidence that they're going into this with the purest intentions.
Also, they made Burger Beagle skinny and have literally no character. Because jokes about gluttonous fat people are verboten in the current year. The past MUST be re-written at all costs.
They also racebent Fenton and Gosalyn. Because apparently, non-white people need freaking DUCK people to look like them in order to identify with them. DUCK PEOPLE!
I related to Fenton growing up because he was an utter goof who still stepped up to save the day, whether with the cool Gizmosuit or just by being a numbers savant. I didn't like him because he was "white." He was a duck!
Re-writing him to be a different character in all but name and still making him Gizmoduck is essentially killing the original character I loved and replacing him with an imposter. It's like it's intended to be demoralizing or something....
I guess I've adopted the only attitude that'll protect me form this kind of disillusionment. Call me jaded, or mature, but the solution is to stop caring about this stuff. Don't watch their garbage, don't give them money.
This is the only correct answer. Even this subreddit"board" has major Gell-Mann amnesia when it comes to corporate globohomo and the controlled demolition of once beloved childhood franchises.

Double points for racebending another redhead.

It started off decent then spiralled hard
And also staples of my NES collection. Ducktales especially

Move on to what? The future is over.

Make your own stuff. Harder than it sounds, but if you can't, at least it's possible to support the people who are.
