Wait a minute…

In the episode "Getting the Band(shell) Back Together", Patty mentioned that it was a tornado that took out the original bandshell back in 1979.

You don't think…?

So many good spooky designs, I love them sm! 😱

Gotta also love how often he chooses to be either purple or green in this form! 💜💚

"Selfie!!!! :D" ~ Molly McGee, completely unfazed by Scratch's attempts to scare her away.

"You aRE THE MOST FRUSTRATING-" ~ Scratch having zero tolerance for Molly's abundant optimism. BONUS because these designs also deserve lots of love! 👻

Spooky Ezekiel "Tug the Tornado" Tugbottom, Sonia Davis, Howlin' Harriet and Geoff!

Ezekiel Tugbottom

Coloration: Teal

Scary Coloration: Dark Green

First Appearance: Monumental Disaster

VA: Chris Diamantopulous

Ezekiel Jeremiah Whipplethorpe Tugbottom, the believed founder of Brighton, is the second "corrupted" ghost seen in the show. Despite his reputation, he's cowardly, lazy, and generally a complete fraud.

Powers:

Heroic Build: while alive, Ezekiel was shown to possess a muscular physique, even in "the True History of Brighton". While he's lost most of the muscles by "Monumental Disaster", he's noted to still have a good jawline.

Printing Company: While alive, Ezekiel owned Tugbottom Press, which he used to publish fraudulent history books that painted him as a hero instead of his sister Sally.

Scary Mode: Ezekiel, like Harriet before him, has a unique scary mode- his smile becomes jagged, his ectoplasm becomes much darker, and he transforms into a tornado.

Storage: Keeps a copy of his book inside his body.

Weather Manipulation: while in Scary Mode, possesses the ability to create wind gusts, thuderclaps, and storm clouds.

Weaknesses:

Narcissism: Ezekiel cares first and foremost about himself, with his ideas to improve Brighton mostly consisting of naming stuff after himself.

Turnip Greens: Noted to dislike their taste.

Vanity: Upon seeing a burning building in "Monumental Disaster", he only saves the painting of himself, and would've left the building to burn to the ground if Molly didn't call the fire department.

Tgamm S1 EP 8-A "Monumental Disaster" Episode Analysis

Molly meets her Brighton hero, Ezekiel Tugbottom, in his ghost form. Molly is thrilled but Scratch doesn't look so excited by this individual...

"Monumental Disaster" is one of those times the show goes a bit more serious that the usual and tackles a complex lesson. For this, it exploits the concept of ghosts to explore historical figures and their legacy.

The episode starts Molly watching the presentation of an statue dedicated to Ezekiel Tugbottom, also known as "Hero of Brighton". There is a small song that plays showing a bit of the history of this figure and why he is so important for the city. It’s a nice catchy tune that does decent job in telling the story of this character. There are these visuals with book history style that fit well with the atmosphere.

A few moments later, Molly finds a green ghost looking at the statue and quickly notices that he is Ezekiel. While Molly is excited to meet her hero, Scratch warns to her that this ghost is a "blowhard" in the Ghost Word and he isn't who he claims to be.

Ezekiel himself is a very egocentric person who dismisses other people and wants everything to be about himself. At first Molly ignores this until she starts to see this for herself after spending some time with him. Ezekiel suggest tons of times to change the name of places from Brighton for his name instead. When there is a woman trying to escape from a building that is on fire, he saves a painting of himself instead of the person who needed help. This makes Molly realize that there is something going on and decides to investigate in the library.

Inside the library Molly and Scratch find Libby diguised as ¨The Bloodhound of Truth¨ who shows them the true history of the Hero of Brighton. I have to say that i like they gave this aspect to Libby’s character since it is a different side of her. She is passionate about supernatural and mysteries, which later ties in the episode ¨Scratch the Surface¨. It’s also a bit funny because she tries to pretend to be this serious detective persona.

Libby shows the protagonists that Ezekiel Tugbottom’s history was fabricated by Ezekiel’s press and that in reality it was his sister, Sally Tugbottom, who helped Brighton to grow. This is very interesting because it touches the theme of history revisionism and how sometimes it is found that important historical figures weren’t so good as they were make out to be. In addition to this, there is a bit of subtext of Sally’s actions being overlooked and credited to Ezekiel because Sally was a woman. It’s bold for the show to do something like this and it’s great they took advantage of ghosts existing in-universe to make it easier to understand for a younger audience.

After this revelation, Molly and Scratch go back to the park and try showing people that the history of Ezekiel is fake. Suddenly Ezekiel appears and turns into this giant tornado that chases Molly all over the park. It’s a quite intense scene because it is the first time a ghost antagonist looks this threatening aside from the Ghost Council and Harriet.

Luckily Sally appears and stops Ezequiel. She scolds her brother for not understanding what being hero is about and fabricating his story. The citiziens of Brighton make a new statue honoring Sally instead. Molly has a small conversation with Sally in which she congratulates Molly for keeping her legacy by making Brighton a happier place. I think it is a nice way of showing how these to character are alike when it comes to helping other people and making the world a better place.

The episode ends with a funny gag of Libby hinting that she has been investigating paranormal activities in Brighton and Molly tells her to save that for later. It’s a clever way of foreshadowing ¨Scratch the Surface¨ while being self aware about it.

In conclusion:  "Monumental Disaster" is a pretty solid episode that introduces two new cool characters to the show and tackles a good mature lesson. It gaves Libby some time to shine as well. I hope we get to see more of Ezekiel and Sally in the future because they could be explored more in other ways.

Compare/Contrast of Violet Sabrewing And Libby Stein-Torres

Ok. Here I’ll be doing a compare/constraint between Violet Sabrewing and Libby Stein-Torres. It occurred to me that those 2 have quite a bit in common but are also a bit different. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series and The Ghost And Molly McGee TV series. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

Both of them are pretty well-versed when it comes to the supernatural. As shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, Violet was well-versed enough in the supernatural to know that Tulpas are manifestations of great desire. And as shown in the episode ‘Howlin’ Harriet’, Libby was well-versed enough in the supernatural to know about Howlin Harriet and who she was during her lifetime. The difference between Violet and Libby here, though, is how long they were interested in the supernatural. As also shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, Violet didn’t believe in magic or the supernatural until the Shadow War and, as Violet told Webby: “All my life, I’ve been rational. Never giving things like magic a second thought. But when the Shadow War happened, it jolted something in me. Opened my eyes. There’s a world beyond textbooks and rational truths. One I’m compelled to know more about. Have you ever felt like you were living a sheltered life but there was something incredible just out of reach.” And as shown in the episode ‘Friend-Off’, Libby always believed in the supernatural even before seeing Scratch for the first time since, as she said in her recording device: “Supernatural Theory #37 Confirmed. Ghosts Do Exist.” Speaking of Violet’s and Libby’s intelligence…

Both of them are very passionate when it comes to reading and learning. As shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, when Webby told Violet that the book she had is written in ancient Syriac and that it may be a bit advanced, Violet replied with: “So am I” in ancient Syriac. And as shown in the episode ‘Monumental Disaster’, Libby was pretty ecstatic and was wearing a black coat and hat as she showed Molly a historical video about how Ezekiel Tugbottom was a fraud and that it was actually his sister Sally who was actually the real hero of Brighton. The difference between them there is how exactly they express that passion. As also shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, Violet was still somewhat reserved and well-mannered as she was calmly talking to Webby about the Akkadian language and Violet also politely introduced herself and shook Webby’s hand during that same encounter. And as also shown in the episode ‘Monumental Disaster’, Libby was wearing a coat and hat and she was monologuing to Molly and said to her: “You have no idea how deep this rabbit hole goes” just before she showed her that historical video about how it was actually Sally who was the hero of Brighton and not her brother Ezekiel. So, Violet is pretty calm about her passion whereas Libby is pretty eccentric about it.

Both of them are a bit socially awkward. As shown in the episode ‘Challenge Of The Senior Junior Woodchucks!’, Violet was pretty out of her depth when it came to friendly smack talk during competitions since she said to Huey: “Apologies. Lena told me that friendly smack talk is expected in competitions such as these.” And as stated in the episode ‘First Day Frights’, Libby was having trouble fitting in at school since she pronounced the popular girl Andrea’s name wrong. The difference between them there, though, is why they seem to be socially awkward. As shown in the episode ‘Challenge Of The Senior Junior Woodchucks!’, Violet had trouble doing friendly smack talk which probably means Violet doesn’t understand certain social cues all that well. And as stated in the episode ‘First Day Frights’, Libby said that she was bright-eyed before being treated like an outcast ever since she pronounced Andrea’s name wrong. So, I think that Violet is a bit socially awkward because she had a hard time understanding certain cues whereas Libby was a bit socially awkward because she was treated like an outcast for most of her life in school.

Both of them are each friends with an easygoing optimist and a being from another realm. As shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, Violet became friends with Webby Vanderquack, an easygoing optimist who held onto hope that her friend Lena can be brought back from the Shadow Realm and Lena, a living shadow who came from the Shadow Realm. And as shown in the episode ‘Friend-Off’, Libby is friends with Molly McGee, an easygoing optimist who was hoping that Libby and Scratch would become friends and Scratch, a ghost who came from the Ghost World. Another similarity between them here is that Violet and Libby both had to help overcome jealousy that was related to their friendship in some form or fashion with 1 of their 2 friends in order to save the other. As shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, Violet made Lena realize that it was her desire and her jealousy towards Violet about her being close to Webby that was fueling the Tulpas that took Webby and once Lena overcame that desire and jealousy, she and Violet were able to defeat the Tulpas and save Webby. And as shown in the episode ‘Friend-Off’, Libby and Scratch overcame their jealousy towards each other about who was Molly’s best friend in order to work together to save Molly from being sucked into a razer-sharp fan. The difference between them here, though, is whether or not Violet and Libby were feeling jealous themselves. As shown in the episode ‘Friendship Hates Magic!’, while Lena was feeling towards Violet, Violet wasn’t feeling jealous towards Lena. And as shown in the episode ‘Friend-Off’, while Scratch was feeling jealous towards Libby about who was Molly’s best friend, Libby was also feeling jealous towards Scratch about who was Molly’s best friend as well.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

Scratch saves Molly thrice (2nd one with Libby’s help!) 🥹

These moments are the best! Scratch becomes progressively protective of his bestie/adopted niece, it’s so wholesome! Also the fact that Scratch’s worst fear is losing Molly! 🤧

3rd clip also reminds me of an ep of “Beetlejuice” where the titular character also gets cutiefied and snaps out of it upon seeing his bestie, Lydia, in danger! 🥹
