    >Last Adventure is the highest rated Ducktales episode
    That's unironically the worst episode of the entire series, the fricking clone twist was so bad
    Should have been Let's Get Dangerous

      I don’t know if I’d rank it the worst episode in the series, because a lot of Season 3 episodes (and the bottom half of Season 2) are pretty bad. Personally, I think the show’s peak was “The Duck Knight Returns.” Everything fell apart after that.

      Ducktales got the spot for being the last episode. Same way people rate the Avatar finale super high despite the turtle and back tingle bullshit that are way worse than the kino found on mid S1 and S2 episodes

        By the way when I say mid I don’t mean "mediocre" like the kids say these days, I mean the actual middle episodes between seasons. I have to clarify that.

        owl house is mostly lukewarm but the fight between eda and her sister was fricking amazing, also the introduction of the golden guard was great
        i havent watched gravity falls in a long while but sure the reveal of stanford was up there, maybe its the best
        there was nothing specially good about the ducktales finale

    >Amphibia
    "Reunion." Everything climaxed the right way in this episode, thematically and emotionally.
    >Gravity Falls
    "The Inconveniencing" and "Double Dipper." Both episodes strike me as very cinematic in ways I had not seen in modern cartoons until then.
    >Phineas and Ferb
    "Summer Belongs To You." It's the most ambitious episode outside of the movie.
    >Ghost and Molly McGee
    "Talent Show." No particular reason, it's a funny show overall and that was really funny.
    >Big City Greens
    "Elevator Action." This episode was clearly very real for somebody on the show.
    Not on the list, but worth mentioning:
    >Clarence
    "Dream Boat," "Pretty Great Day With A Girl," "Mystery Girl." A show with too many memorable episodes to list, but those are my favorites.
    >Amazing World of Gumball
    "The Party." A lot of wonderful and understated character moments.

      That's an interesting approach, could you elaborate?

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        >could you elaborate?
        I'll try my best. It's not any particular thing, but the totality of it. In "The Inconveniencing," I have an unnatural love for the scene early on where Dipper and Mabel meet Wendy's friends and they all get in the car. The way it cuts between the characters during their conversation rather than showing them all on screen. The number of shots used and accompanying backgrounds. Camera angles that reflect Dipper's emotion or how he feels in relation to other characters like Robbie. The way the camera pans up and the music kicks in when Thompson starts to drive off, as if they're beginning this adventure into a bigger world. It's not that these things were special, but these are decisions that cartoons don't normally make. They don't even consider it. That sequence was very film-like to me.
        If you can, go back and watch that scene and compare it to the average comedy cartoon that almost never strays from stage view, never points the camera up or down, or uses a few face closeups at best.

      King's Tide has the same narrative impact as True Colors without the fakeout death but with higher stakes (Day of Unity spell), a better immediate Earth follow-up, and a better solution that had actual setup (saiyan powerup vs betrayed Collector).

      Also all the foreshadowing lessens the impact if you followed and theorized along.

        Belos's death was pretty much just that. Watch him come back next season and helping the kids fight the Collector because he's sorry for what he did to Hunter.

          The difference is that Matt's intention was for the fakeout to not be revealed until S3 and Disney forced him to include the S3 intro, which shows Marcy is alive, in the credits of True Colors, whereas Belos' fakeout is incorporated into the episode and has a much better reveal

        In season 2 yes (each season has 26 episodes), it goes through the entire alphabet in perfect order and every word used is highly relevant to the episode.

        Funnily enough another show on the same network tried a similar approach but without the order or even including every episode, yet still ended up having to reuse letters.

        No, that's how it is with serialized "shows" that are essentially movies with a lot of useless footage tacked on to fill runtime.

        A high-quality serialized show has great writing for both the overall arcs AND the episodic stories, so both are well-remembered.

    Maybe not the best episode I've ever seen but Down & Out in Duckburg stands out to me as the perfect episode of the original Ducktales.
    To refresh, the plot of the episode is that Scrooge loses his entire fortune because an ancestor of his failed to deliver a barrel of marbles and refused to give up his golden watch as collateral, the same golden watch would later be used by Scrooge to buy his claim in the klondike, meaning his entire fortune rightfully belongs to the descendant of the original contract holder. Yes that would never hold up in court but it's a kid's cartoon for fricks sake
    So how does Scrooge get his fortune back? He actually finishes the delivery, I feel like in another cartoon they'd get around something like this by finding a loophole or just outing the whole affair as a scam. It's ridiculous idea, diving for a barrel of marbles that was lost in treacherous waters over a hundred years ago, but it captures Scrooge's character perfectly, he's an honest businessman who beats cheaters by doing things the right way.
    It's also just a really fun episode, it's got some great snappy dialogue, each character gets a chance to shine except webby, which is honestly preferrable and a satisfying conclusion with the villain being forced into an honest job after failing to scam scrooge out of his money.
