I cannot emphasize enough how much I love how clear it is that Louie always just assumed he was good at talking, good at smoozing, only for Scrooge to toss his world upside down by showing him that he’s good at reading people and situations, not necessarily conning, because he’s more than his love of money.
It not only sets up a way for Scrooge and Louie to bond, but it also shows that, like Huey and Dewey, that he’s stuck himself into a form of rut. Huey relies on the book to the point it hinders him. Dewey feels he can’t ‘make it’ because he’s not smart. The boys have unintentionally buried themselves so deep in their intentions to be different that they don’t feel they can go anywhere. But now they’re meeting folks like Scrooge and Webby and Beakley, who all see past that, and are growing their skills in other ways.
I miss some features, like Fethry being very thin and having baggy eyes… I think weird physical features fit his overall “eccentric” theme… I prefer a weird looking Fethry than a cute Italian chibi Fethry any day…
I loved the big eyebrows because they remind me of Abner’s. Also, the strong chin looks like something Eider would have… (It also made Fethry look even more like Shaggy) I’m all for ducks having different designs and I like the particularities they gave him…
My computer broke so I can’t compare him and the other adult ducks but he seemed to be taller and thinner than Donald and Scrooge…
Also he does the “t-rex hands thingy”, which I wasn’t expecting them to keep (or even notice) but it made me really really happy.
“gizmoduck? it is absolutely CRITICAL that my uncle donald NEVER EVER hears about me being your sidekick. ever. i’d be grounded until the end of civilization as we know it.”
