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....

Double points for racebending another redhead.

It identifies as your childhood, bigot. Now wax the balls.
It started off decent then spiralled hard
