they named a guy panchito pistoles and then took his pistoles away, what's that all about?

some thoughts on the new dt ep

overall it was a very good ep! always love a good team magic centric ep, i LOVED violets lil sassy moments, and as usual love to see magica get her shit wrecked :)

also wanted say that before this ep aired when we first got like the summary and the teaser for it, i did get a bit worried, bc when i saw that for whatever reason they were gonna have lena and magica work together my mind immediately assumed the worst, which was “oh god please dont tell me their gonna do that shitty trope of giving an abuser a ‘redemption arc’ and completely forget/undo all of the victims struggles and progress for the sake of...idfk forgiveness???” BUT THANKFULLY they did not do that!! like i knew logically it would have made zero sense if they did go down that rode and i do trust the ducktales crew to know better than that, but at the same time ive been burned before so i was cautious, but again none of that matters bc they did not do that trope, and instead we had a begrudging mentorship (kinda) at which point lena did not hesitate to make her distrust and hate for magica known, as well as the confidence to fight against her, we love to see lena character development!

on a more lighthearted note, gladstone was so fucking useless in this ep and i mean that in the best way possible. like i am so sorry to gladstone fans who thought this was gonna be like some character development moment for him bc that just. didnt happen lmao. which im ok with bc i dont really care too much about him so this was very amusing for me, dude spent the whole ep whining and crying about his luck, contributing absolutely nothing

OH ALSO i was worried that i was gonna be forced to watch gladstone awkwardly flirting with magica throughout this ep so THANK GOD THAT DID NOT HAPPEN (outside of that one line which immediately got shut down) dont necessarily hate magicstone i just dont like it with the dt17 versions of their characters bc well yknow.

lenas magical girl transformation was incredible, i loved it, reminded me of sailor moon lmao. but ok so i know a lot of people had issues with her outfit, but honestly for me the outfit was not the problem, i like the outfit, its very cute and the color changing to match her magic is great, my issue is with her eyes. i dont like em lol. i think they should have just kept her normal eye color or at least made them less...anime?? if that makes sense idk? but frank also said that this isnt like a permanent look for her which is a relief bc i love u lena but those eyes.... idk maybe its just bc we’re not used to it yet so its jarring

phantom blot was great, if he didnt attack lena i honestly would be a blot sympathizer, like yeah man you do you go fuck up magica i dont give a shit she fucking sucks, hell ill even help u if u want lol (and cant wait to see more pepper, genuinely curious to know more about her, like how did this seemingly nice person end up working for an evil spy organization)

BUT ANYWAYS GREAT EP!! always down for more team magic eps, always down for more eps with violet in it tbh
