DuckTalesHas Blown My Dang Mind

Disney ’s shockingly excellent reboot ofDuckTaleshas given us countless pleasure : The first appearance of Huey , Dewey , and Louie ’s motherDella ; David Tennant voicingScrooge McDuck ; and the origin of Chip and Dale and theRescue Rangers , just to name a few . But the serial publication has also given me a scene that modify everything I cogitate I knew about Disney cartoons , if not my very being .

I ’ve been be given a bit behind on my DuckTales see , so it was only of late that I watched the episode“They Put a Moonlander on the Earth!”which originally ran in late September . To essay to set it up for you compactly , Scrooge and bunch cease an foreign invasion from the moon , and the solution was that the Moonlanders who had been involuntarily drafted into the war stayed on Earth .

This include the militarily given Captain Penumbra , who ’s having a toughened metre adjust to life in Duckberg . As a result , Dewey and Webby decide to take her to the boardwalk in an attempt to get her to have playfulness . In their montage of games and rides and clean intellectual nourishment …

… the Ducks fee the duck .

Did I lose my mind when I saw this scene ? I did . Then I laughed because it is hysterical and a absolutely executed optical jape : the well-chosen obliviousness of Dewey and Webby juxtapose with Penumbra ’s pure look of utter puzzlement and grow unease at the incomprehensible view before her .

I ’ve also been imagine about it ever since because it has vast branch not just for Duckberg , but the total Disney Animated Universe ( for want of a better name ) . First , it proves anthropomorphic duck’s egg like Scrooge — who I will refer to as capital D Ducks , for simplicity ’s sake — evolve from even , Earth - style duck . Just as humanity germinate from apes on our worldly concern , sure ducks evolved over time to take the air upright , use dick , train lecture , and build refinement as Ducks . It ’s scandalous to see ducks and Ducks together at first , but it ’s really no dissimilar from how homo and ape Centennial State - survive now . As one of theRedditorswho posted a gif of the scene pointed out , this is just the DuckTales eq of humanity feeding monkey at the zoo . No big mass .

Counterargument : perhaps it ’s a huge mint ?

bet , there ’s something fantastically put off whenever the anthropomorphic creature of the Disney Animated Universe interact with regular animals . For one , it does n’t happen very often , so it ’s always extremely noticeable when it does . Secondly , it always raise questions that have no easy answer . For illustration , now we know regular ducks exist alongside Ducks , does n’t that have to think there ’s an evolutionary chain between them ? Must n’t there also be millions of years of unlike metal money connect ducks and duck , slow beginning to walk upright , wings becoming prehensile hands , skulls originate to accommodate the increasing sizing of brains ? Is there archeologic proof of these species ? Is there a museum in Duckburg containing their cadaverous remains ? And what would a cross between a duck’s egg and a Duck look like ? Furthermore , is this true for all of the anthropomorphized animals of DAU ?

At any pace , most of the metre animals show up on DuckTales they ’re of the supernatural variety , which is fine ; they ’re all basically supernatural monsters , so they have no bearing on the biological and social offspring of the DAU . It ’s when animals show up as solid food that things get more bewildering . In this episode , along with others , Huey , Dewey , and Louieeat hamburgerswith gravid relish ( pun unintended , for once ) . It ’s a little uncomfortable to realize these ducks became omnivores on their journeying to being Ducks , but duck also have fingers and build firm - food chains , so whatever . What ’s eldritch is when you remember hamburgers are made of cow , and Cows absolutely live in the DAU ( as proven by the world of the evil Bull scientist and Darkwing Duck foeTaurus Bulba ) .

What do moo-cow believe about Ducks wipe out cows ? Presumably , they ’re okay with it to some degree , otherwise the DAU would be in ceaseless warfare over who gets to eat and who get to be deplete . So I guess I probably should n’t be too upset about this :

And yet I am , because the duck are be after on eat some sort of domestic fowl in the near futurity .

I would have to guess it ’s a turkey base on its size relative to Dewey , but it could be a large wimp — although it does n’t matter because if Ducks feed turkey , they ’re also eating chicken . I guess the human equivalent weight would be for us to rust chimpanzee or orangutans , but please take a moment to imagine sitting down to dinner where a whole golden , roast chimp lies on a platter before you . try out to think of any situation that chimp could be put in where you would n’t feel like you would n’t be eating a small human . Just typing that prison term made me throw up in my mouth a little .

Regardless , if duck are eat up turkey and chicken , it stands to reason that other Animals are eating ducks as well . But the liberal question is , of course , do Ducks eat duck ? Is it taboo to eat a fellow member of your evolutionary Sir Ernst Boris Chain , or is it de rigueur ? Should it be sound for supermarkets to sell duck to a duck’s egg ? If a Duck goes to a fancy political party and discovered duck’s egg was being assist , is this a huge social faux pas on the part of the host , or would the invitee Duck be forced to emotionally deal with it and accept it ? Would good manners prescribe he deplete the duck ?

Plus , devote that Scrooge and companionship go in Duckburg , is it against the law for duck to be sell as substance ? That would make sense , along with all the other locations that have “ duck’s egg ” or duck’s egg - connect word in their name , like Maceduckia and Ithaquack . The DAU is n’t just made up of Ducks , although anthropomorphous avians seem to make up most of the world ’s universe . Do they have similar , local laws banning the consumption of their genetic ancestors ? Would n’t it be far less creepy if it was illegal to eat any fowl everywhere in the civilized world ? And if that ’s dependable , is the Duck family about to eat an illegal turkey obtained on the disgraceful market through Scrooge ’s immense wealthiness ?

This is all speculation , of course , but the undeniable truth is this : 1 ) duck exist , 2 ) Ducks eat poultry , and 3 ) someone out there is eating duck , and there ’s absolutely nothing bare about that . Oh , and 4 ) this is an spectacular gag , which the manufacturing business of DuckTales are well - cognisant of :

So let me leave you with one undeniable Sojourner Truth to ghost your dreams tonight : Goofy — at least the Goof Troop version of Goofy — made an appearance on DuckTales , so there either are or were dogs in the DAU , from which Dogs evolved . It ’s the test copy we ’ve needed to at long last put the layer the unsettling mystery of how Mickey Mouse has an anthropomorphic , talking Dog for a friend ( Goofy ) and a non - anthropomorphic , traditional dog as a positron emission tomography ( Pluto ) . However , the ducks of DuckTales look like regular ol’ duck . presumptively , the andiron of the DAU look like normal dogs as well .

Pluto does not look like a normal dog . He looks like this :

Specifically , Pluto depend he has Goofy ’s face on an unnatural weenie body — paws too big , proto - fingers too long , peg miss its haunches as it begin its evolution to walking upright . In conclusion , Mickey Mouse keeps a canine Homo sapiens neanderthalensis as a pet . And if DuckTales truly solved the Goofy / Pluto mystery , the answer is far more disturbing than anyone could have anticipated .
