It had a 3 season run that had an ending. What exactly was wrong with it?
tbf... the last time a DTVA cartoon went to 4 seasons, it led to a genocide
OUGH
Every two in every Three episodes was some moronic form of fanservice of implementing old characters into the show in some moronic overcomplicated way
The Darkwing Duck shit was particularly stupid, and the show ended with what? Over 34 OC characters?
If a Disney show doesn't reach Phineas and Ferb level, it's cancelled and considered a fail
Taking a page from Nickelodeon I see
Blame everything on Dana
>showrunners feel pressured felt pressured to add characters from the comics but they never bothered to read them
>Felt the need to add the Darkwing universe, but in a meta commentary way that got old immediately
>Added the triplet's Mom as the main lore point... And them they forgot what to do with her when they solved it
>We NEED to give more stuff for Wendy to do! Give her three stupid plots with stupid MLP/Sonic fanfiction level "clone of the main character" and "good part of the villain turned into
It's own character" garbo
>You know... Being the center of all that is happening, it feels like Donald is actually the main adult character of this show... Nah! He is just the funny talking character
>physically disabled people are just as smart as everyone else, after all a wheelchair, prothesis or walking aid doesn't mean someone is moronic
>haha duck talks funny must be stupid
>haha duck doesn't talk funny anymore so suddenly everyone can acknowledge he is smart and has been all the time
I'm willing to die on the hill that they did him dirty because they held an unreasonable grudge towards Tony but couldn't say so so instead they took it out on Donald
Yeah, you can tell when the writers held grudges against people from the show alone. Sometimes it felt like they were puppeteering characters in a way as to vent their personal grievances.
Donald feels like a casualty of that - "We don't want to work with Tony so we'll keep him off-screen or use another voice actor for important moments."
>We don't want to work with Tony
What did Tony do that the Ducktales Crew didn't want to work with him/opt to swap him out for Don Cheadle?
It had a latina duck that destroyed your ego everytime she was on screen
All the two times?
Webby. It failed because of Webby.
It ran its course. Not every show can run forever. It felt about the right time for it to end.
Anyone can say otherwise but because there was little adventure or action
What kid or lifelong duck fan wants to see Scrooge’s after-adventure mundaneness in his mansion instead of Scrooge on adventures?
That’s the entire opposite of what people want to see

Star Vs scared Disney off of breaking their 65 episode limit to the point that Big Hero Six lost episodes and Ducktales's spinoffs lost support.
It was too niche. It tried too hard to appeal to older viewers and alienated children. But most older viewers won't watch a cartoon that looks like cheap, low-effort trash so their audience was limited to the usual cartoon-watching audience: 20-something autists.
