Darkwing Duck reboot by Frank Angones and Matt Youngberg

Aside from what I think about the Ducktales reboot as well as the Darkwing Duck reboot, which is a completely separate story, I found leaked Disney projects that talk about the Darkwing Duck reboot. Of course, this is Angones' plan to continue the Ducktales reboot in the form of Darkwing Duck, until Disney gave another man, Seth Rogen, to make a special Darkwing Duck reboot that will not look like this.

These are just the original plans for how Darkwing Duck was supposed to turn out, starring Drake Mallard, Launchpad McQuack and Gosalyn Mallard, and villains like Negaduck (Jim Starling), Quackerjack, Megavolt, Bushroot, Liquidator and Mark Beaks. And there would be Gizmoduck, Honker, Herb and Binkie Muddlefoot. Please enjoy reading and sorry if I disappointed anyone.

Yes, unfortunately for fans of Ducktales 2017, this project was not accepted in the end, so the Darkwing Duck reboot (the question of exactly when) will look very different.

‘Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake’ Renewed for Season 2 at Max

Max has renewed “Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake” for a second season.

A spinoff of “Adventure Time,” which ran on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2018, the series follows Fionna (Madeleine Martin) and her sidekick, Cake (Roz Ryan), who find themselves in the crosshairs of a powerful new foe, leaving them with no choice but to seek the help of Simon Petrikov, the former Ice King (Tom Kenny). Other characters from from the original series featured in “Fionna and Cake” include Marshall Lee (Donald Glover), Marceline the Vampire Queen (Olivia Olson), Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch) and Finn the Human (Jeremy Shada). The cast also includes Andrew Rannells as Gary Prince, Sean Rohani as Prismo and Kayleigh McKee as the Scarab.

The news comes two months after showrunner Adam Muto told Variety he was unsure whether the show would continue, saying, “It’s in discussion. But the person who greenlit the first season is no longer at Max.”

“My hope is that this series did well enough that they feel like they can invest in future seasons,” he added. “What shape that takes, if that’s a ‘Fionna and Cake’ Season 2 or it’s more of an anthology kind of approach and we focus on another character, is still kind of up in the air … There’s a running list of what we think could work as a series, what we think could work as a miniseries or a special.”

Muto executive produces “Fionna and Cake” with Fred Seibert and Sam Register in partnership with Cartoon Network Studios.

“To know that the show will continue into a second season feels both wonderful and frankly surreal,” Muto said in a statement upon the renewal. “Thanks to ‘Adventure Time’s’ creator Pendleton Ward, the team at Max, the talented cast & crew and the passionate audience who made this possible.”

“As proud stewards of the beloved ‘Adventure Time’ brand, we have been delighted to dig deeper into the world through the ‘Fionna and Cake’ lens,” said Suzanna Makkos, executive vice president of original comedy and adult animation at Max and Adult Swim. “We look forward to following them on the next chapter of their journey!”

“‘Fionna and Cake’ gave us all the familiar joys from the land of Ooo while pushing the ‘Adventure Time’ franchise forward,” said Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. “Thanks to Adam Muto and his amazing team for bringing us to all new multiverses and rich new levels of charm, fun and heart-filled stories. I can’t wait to see where they take us next."

How The DuckTales Team Pulled Off That Massive Finale

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This DUCKTALES article contains massive spoilers for the finale.

Nothing can stop DuckTales. That applies not just to the characters of the series but the crew behind it. Throughout the run of the series they not only redefined DuckTales for a new generation but also crafted a beautifully woven story that developed every single one of its cast of characters. Along the way they also brought back other beloved Disney TV classics like Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Rescue Rangers, and even mega deep cuts like Fluppy Dogs.

They pulled all that off but the finale presented the crew of DuckTales with their biggest challenge yet. They had to wrap up the shows many plotlines while also giving its huge cast of main and supporting characters time to shine… all in just over an hour. This would be near impossible for most shows… but nothing can stop the crew of DuckTales.

The writers, artists, and everyone involved in the series pulled out every single stop they could and created one of the absolute best sendoffs for an animated series ever. Nothing felt rushed. Everyone got a chance to shine. The major plots were resolved. They even managed to get in another Disney tribute with an incredible Gargoyles bit! 

We sat down with executive producers Matt Youngberg and Francisco Angones to learn how they and the rest of the DuckTales crew managed to pull it all off.

DEN OF GEEK: On DuckTales you typically have a large group of writers come up with the story and then one or two write the script. On the finale you’ve got five writers. How do you write an episode with that many people working on the script?

FRANK ANGONES: I think all of the writers love the characters so much that everyone wanted to have a shot at it. We always break every episode altogether. It’s why everyone has story by credit. We really go and put it through its paces and pitch all the jokes but there’s so many storylines on this one. 

We’ve broken episodes that are two-parters as individual episodes before. I think the Moonvasion!, the season two finale, we did break as an hour long. (We broke it) as one story instead of two separate stories.

This one we wanted to break like it was a movie. Then it just kind of added up to pairing up the writers who wanted to work on it. So we had two writers work on the first 20 minutes, two writers work on the second 20 minutes. I worked on the last 20 minutes. And then we all came together and coalesced because everybody loved the show so much. We all wanted to be a part of it. Also there were enough characters that we needed to help. That’s something I noticed, you’re not just balancing the main story of the movie but also all the characters, all the references, tying all the stories off. How do you keep all that balanced without it tipping too much into “reference everything!”

MATT YOUNGBERG: It’s a feat. It is a balance act.

ANGONES: There are some sizable set pieces that unfortunately ended up on the cutting room floor because of that. We wanted to make sure that nothing felt too overpowering. But I think part of it is that this is the story that we’ve been gearing up to tell since the pilot. We always knew this is where the series was going. 

As we were starting season three, assuming that it would more than likely be our last, the idea of most shows when they know they’re ending is they want to put the characters to bed and figure out what the nice resolution for them is. But these characters have been around a long time before us. They’re going to be around a long time after us. Some are new, some will be around for forever.

So we looked at this whole season of structuring it as we’re putting everybody in the place where they know what their next step is. They’re going to go off to their next thing. You know where Lena goes from here. You know where Scrooge and his family go from here. Of course, they all died in the finale, so they’re not going anywhere. (laughs)

The show started with these kids trying to live up to this family legacy of adventure. We knew that season three was building everybody to the place where they were going to be their own adventure. So we knew that if you were part of a family at the beginning of the series, you were going to be an adventurer by the end. And if you were an adventurer by the beginning of the series, you knew you were going to wind up in some kind of ad hoc family.

That found family is obviously a huge theme for us and it all coalesced and came together. The big thing obviously, Huey has this huge revelation arc. His crazy obsessive brain breakdown and trying to solve this ultimate mystery of the series. We had a Webby story that we were telling. We had a Launchpad story that we were telling from the very beginning of the series in the background. So to be able to pay those off in such a big way, it was exciting. 

Speaking of that bigness, DuckTales has had incredible animation but this movie was even a step beyond that. Talk about the storyboarding and production process that helped take this movie over the top?

YOUNGBERG: Our ethos from the beginning was to make sure that we were delivering a show that lived up to the legacy of DuckTales. The original DuckTales had some of the best animation on TV at the time. As we went into the series itself, we said we need to hire at least one in-house animator who’s going to help assist the overseas animation studios and elevate the material every episode. Over the seasons, that grew. We had three or four people working on it at the end, just in-house. But then the overseas studios fell in love with the show as they worked on it, and they put more and more and more into the show. They realized at the end this is a big family. We want to blow it out. So they really set it up and made sure that they were delivering the best quality, and everybody recognized the importance and worked really hard.

From top to bottom, it was just everyone working so hard from the storyboards. For everybody there was just this feeling of, this is our last story that we get to tell. We are in love with the story and we want to make sure that we make the best thing we can. And it was one of the only episodes that was directed by me. So, I mean… (laughs)

ANGONES: And I will say it was the second most important pitch of DuckTales. First most important pitch for DuckTales was convincing Disney to let us make DuckTales. And the second most important one was… we knew that the series was ending. We had written and prepared for that, but the crew didn’t know. So we had this meeting because the fear is when you find out that you’re ending, well, then everybody’s like, “Oh, that’s a bummer.” Everybody goes off, has to find their next job, has to find their next thing.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

It’s hard to keep that momentum going through the finale, but our crew was such an amazing family. They were such a great team. So in the meeting where we all came in and we told them, “Hey, listen guys, season three is going to be our last”, Matt and Suzanna (Olson), our producer, very wisely said, “Let’s pitch them the finale in that meeting.” So (at first) everyone got really sad. And then we pitched them the story of the finale and everyone was like, “We’re going to blow this out.” It became a personal passion project. So much of this show was about collaboration. And to get everybody on board from the beginning instead of just getting a script down the line (in the production process). I mean I’m 40-what now? Getting everybody on board with what it was was part of the secret sauce that made DuckTales what it was.

Make sure to read the first part of this interview where we spoke with Angones and Youngberg discuss the big Webby twist in the finale!

Joe Biden campaigns in Sumter, South Carolina, on February 28, 2020. | Scott Olson/Getty Images

A good night for Biden, a bad one for Bloomberg

South Carolina is the end of the beginning — and it turned out to be a big enough blowout to transform our understanding of the race to come into what really looks like a two-person race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

First came the traditional two — Iowa’s caucuses and New Hampshire’s “first-in-the-nation” primary. Then came Nevada, moved close to the front of the calendar to give Latino voters more voice in the process, and now, South Carolina, which serves a similar role but for the African-American electorate. None of these states are particularly large or rich in delegates (though South Carolina is the biggest of the four) but they matter because each one stands along on its own day — a beautiful unique snowflake that drives narratives and builds momentum.

Collectively the opening four don’t determine the winner of a nominating contest, but they do drive the shape of the race of the race to come.

But before we head on to Super Tuesday, here’s who won and who lost.

Winner: Joe Biden

Biden won by winning, a pleasingly straightforward and old-fashioned way of winning. His campaign was on the verge of being left for dead after fourth- and fifth-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, respectively, but started a comeback with a second-place finish in Nevada and now delivered in the demographically friendly state of South Carolina.

Sean Rayford/Getty Images

Supporters cheer for Joe Biden in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on February 28, 2020.

The former vice president is still in much worse shape than he was at the beginning of February when he enjoyed a large national polling lead and was only very slightly behind Bernie Sanders in Iowa. At that time it still seemed plausible that Biden might edge out a win in the caucuses and then just roll to a dominant victory. Those days are gone and despite the South Carolina win, Biden is still playing catchup to Sanders in national polls and will likely fall behind in delegates on Super Tuesday.

But he’s stopped the bleeding, his national poll numbers seem to be on the upswing, he retains a deep reservoir of support with black Democrats, and he can make an excellent case that he is far and away the most viable alternative to Sanders. Joe’s back.

Loser: Michael Bloomberg

When Michael Bloomberg started talking about a late entry into the race in early November, I said he was only going to split the moderate vote and help elect Elizabeth Warren.

Since that time, Sanders has clearly displaced Warren as the leading progressive champion, but the basic analysis applies. Right now, Sanders enjoys a roughly 12-point lead over Biden in national polls, but ranked-choice polling shows he’d have a much narrower lead in a two-person race. Bloomberg’s presence in the race, in other words, is meaningfully increasing the odds of the outcome he says he doesn’t want. Dropping out and giving a modest amount of money to a pro-Biden Super PAC would be a reasonably effective “stop Bernie” move, while spending lavishly on his own campaign is helping Bernie.

Joe Raedle/Getty Images

Mike Bloomberg campaigns in Wilmington, North Carolina, on February 29, 2020.

But there was a brief period after Biden’s Iowa swoon when this analysis didn’t seem to apply. Amidst a big panic about the VP’s viability as a candidate, a decent crop of frontline house members and big city mayors (many of whom had benefitted in one way or another from Bloomberg’s largess) endorsed the former New York mayor and he received enough free media coverage to largely stomp on coverage of Pete Buttigieg’s bounce.

The reality that Biden is still here — and still the obvious choice for Democrats who want continuity with the Obama Era rather than a political revolution — deals a fatal blow to the logic of the Bloomberg boomlet. Blessed as he is with a $60 billion fortune, Bloomberg can easily blow $100 million a month on a presidential campaign without breaking a sweat, so nobody can force him out of the race. But he presumably wants to actually be president not just run for president, and it’s increasingly hard to see how that happens.

Loser: Tom Steyer

He’s rich, but not nearly as rich as Michael Bloomberg. He spent big on the 2020 primary, but not Bloomberg big. And unlike Bloomberg, he has no record in office or qualifications to be president.

Nonetheless, Steyer decided to run with his spending concentrated in the early states — South Carolina particularly.

Scott Olson/Getty Images

Tom Steyer campaigns in in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on February 26, 2020.

South Carolina was the only one of those early four where there was any evidence of him getting traction, but it all it earned him was a distant third-place finish. There’s no path forward here for Steyer and it’s not clear what he’s doing.

The good news is that unlike Bloomberg, Steyer never really attracted any oppo or criticism from his rivals. Steyer’s pre-campaign political giving was extremely well-regarded and broadly appreciated in progressive circles, and it seems like if he wants to drop out he can go back to being a well-liked benefactor with no real harm done or hard feelings. Still, it’s difficult to understand exactly what was going on here.

Winner: James Clyburn

After the failure of the “party decides” thesis in the 2016 cycle, there’s been considerable skepticism about whether old-fashioned things like endorsements from local elected officials still matter.

The endorsement of Biden by Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), one of the top figures in the House Democratic caucus, absolutely counted as a big deal by those traditional standards. But did traditional standards count anymore? In South Carolina, at least, it seems that they did — with 47 percent telling exit pollsters his endorsement was a factor in their decision.

Nearly half (!!!) of South Carolina voters said congressman Jim Clyburn’s (D-S.C.) final-week endorsement was an important factor in their vote, according to preliminary exit poll results from Edison Research. Clyburn announced his support for Biden on Wednesday

— Matt Viser (@mviser) February 29, 2020

That’s a win for old-school politics. But specifically because old-school politics seems to be on the way out, it’s also a considerable personal win for Clyburn who has proven himself to be the rare modern-day elected official who is actually someone who voters care about. The mere fact that people say Clyburn swung their vote doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true, of course, but the mere fact that they want to say it is a sign of the esteem for him locally.

Winner: The news cycle

I didn’t love needing to work on the weekend, but the fact is the open primary on a Saturday gave plenty of people the opportunity to vote and once they voted the votes were counted quickly and without a lot of drama.

“State holds election and it’s fine” is not exactly the biggest news in the world, but after the fiasco in Iowa and with the future of caucuses as a whole in question, it’s a nice reminder that there are simple, straightforward ways to hold an election.

And it’s a lucky thing too because this was a Saturday absolutely jam-packed with news. In the morning, the Trump administration signed a deal with the Taliban that should remove US forces from Afghanistan and very likely set the stage for an eventual Taliban victory in their ongoing war with the Afghan government. Concurrently, the United States suffered the first Covid-19 death on American soil and Trump held an afternoon coronavirus press conference in which he began to back off his earlier efforts to downplay the seriousness of the epidemic.

South Carolina is a big story, but it’s not clear how long we’ll be talking about this with so much else going on.

Winner: The contested convention

It would be over the top to call Sanders a “loser” in this outcome — he’s still the frontrunner in delegates and national polls, the most likely nominee, and generally in good shape.

And while obviously having a big loss to Biden by wasn’t Sanders’s first choice of outcome, everyone knows this is not the demographically friendliest state for him. But despite years of hard work and organizing aimed at bolstering his standing in black-heavy southern states, he still came up far short.

Consequently, while Sanders remains in the lead the odds of him scoring a clean victory over Biden have diminished. That means a scenario in which nobody secures a majority of pledged delegates before the convention is now looking more likely.

Loser: Assuming normal voters think like professional activists

Clinton won the 2016 nomination in large part thanks to scoring huge margins with African-American voters in places like South Carolina.

And once it became clear how central black voters were to her support, she started talking about politics in a very particular kind of way — talking about intersectionality, asking “if we broke up the big banks tomorrow ... would that end racism?”, and invoking the phrase “systematic racism.” These are ideas familiar to younger college graduates, often developed by black intellectuals and popular in racist justice activism circles. And since Clinton did, in fact, obtain overwhelming majorities among African-American voters many 2020 contenders essentially tried to imitate this approach.

Suzanna Danuta Walters in The Nation hailed Warren for running “an unapologetically intersectional campaign,” which she certainly did. So did Kirsten Gillibrand and Julian Castro, both of whom ended up dropping out early, with Castro endorsing Warren and becoming a frequently used campaign surrogate.

Drew Angerer/Getty Images

Sen. Bernie Sanders campaigns in North Charleston, South Carolina, on February 26, 2020.

In South Carolina we saw that this approach delivered very meager results with the electorate. Both in the Palmetto State and in national polls, black voters seem split between Biden’s back-to-basics kitchen table economics pitch and Bernie’s democratic socialist pitch with the divisions mostly falling along age lines. The two candidates’ pitches on economic issues are very different, but Biden and Sanders are similar in having some of the weakest claims to wokeness and least explicitly intersectional rhetoric in the field. It’s not that racial issues aren’t important or that the candidates doing well in South Carolina don’t have strong policies on them.

But most voters are working class, not necessarily super-familiar with cutting edge intellectual concepts, and not as siloed in their concerns as activists. There’s a strong market in South Carolina for “similar to Obama” and a smaller, but also pretty strong, market for Sanders’ youth-fueled revolution with very few voters looking to attend a critical race theory seminar.

Week 5 - 21st Century Activism (Cyberactivism) - Moving into the Digital Age

“As stated by Techopedia, Cyberactivism is the process of using internet-based socialising and communication techniques to create, operate and manage activism of any type. It allows any individual or organisation to utilise social networks and other online technologies to reach and gather followers, broadcast messages and progress a cause or movement. Cyberactivism is also known as Internet activism, online activism, digital activism, online organising, electronic advocacy, e-campaigning and e activism.” (Techopedia, 2017, pg. 1)

Cyberactivism is a broad term, there are many activities that belong under its umbrella. It includes (but isn’t limited to) -

The use of the internet for political movements and revolutions

‘Hacktivists’ infiltrating target websites  (religious, corporate, government etc).

Distributing classified data to the masses

The protection of human rights through the use of encryption and decoding

Globally, the major governments of the world view the emergence of cyberactivism as a great innovation in the quest for cyber transparency.

Edward Snowden has been a prominent face in the world of cyberactivism. Snowden once worked for the NSA (National Security Agency) in their head office in Hawaii. Over the course of his employment, he collected classified documents pertaining to NSA domestic surveillance practices; these documents disturbed and effected him greatly (Tracy, 2013). He decided to depart to Hong Kong quite fast to meet with journalists from prominent publications like The Guardian, and most important of all producer ‘Laura Poitras’. Publications started sending these classified documents to print, they included disturbing details of the intrusion of privacy and monitoring of US citizens. The US has since charged him with multiple violations of the ‘espionage act’; but many people regard him as somewhat of a hero, pleading that he not be charged (Burrough Et Al. 2014). Currently, Snowden resides in Russia in Asylum (Tracy, 2013). He continues to speak openly about his work and his activism.

The ‘Anonymous’ group of cyber activists/‘hacktivists’ truly lives up its illusive name. An internet website who has been in associations with the group labels it as an ‘internet gathering’ (Allnut, 2012).. They also describe that it is centred around ‘ideas rather than directives’. It apparently has a very relaxed command structure. The group have been popular in recent years on the internet. They have conducted various online publicity stunts as well as DDoS attacks on governmental institutions and religious groups. The group first appeared in 2003 on the popular website ‘4chan’ (Allnut, 2012).. These group members can be easily recognised through the use of ‘Guy Fawkes’ masks which they wear as a distinction. They adapted this idea from the blockbuster film ‘V for Vendetta.’ (Allnut, 2012).

Donald’s Lines in This Duckburg Life: Adventure Calls

Since I see some are have trouble understanding Donald in the podcast than before, I’ve decided to try and transcribe his lines there to the best of my abilities to help in understanding him more.

Here we go starting with episode 1 (ok, I got most of it from closed captions but still):

“Ok, Huey! My big chance to be on the podcast! Oh, I'm just announcing the credits.”

“This Duckburg Life is a production of Duckburg Public Radio.”

“Staff includes Gino Guzzardo, Dan Siegel, Joe Crowley, Jenna Hicks, Ben Acker, Megan Gonzalez, Ben Siemon, Sam Riegel, Mark Kondracki, Jordan King, Ethan Grafton, and Kayla Egan.”

“This is embarrassing.”

“Featuring the voice talents of Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz, Bobby Moynihan, Kate Micucci, David Tennant, Beck Bennett, Sam Riegel again?, Eric Bauza, and Tony Anselmo!”

“This is too many credits!”

“With very generous support from Matt Youngberg,Francisco Angones. Did I say those names right? Suzanna Olson, Laura Reynolds, Madison Bateman, Colleen Evanson, Christian Magalhaes, Bob Snow, Tanner Johnson, Aaron Drown, Julia Pleasants, David Wright, Leonna Beckert, Dawn Connors, Carolyn Roach, Collette Weinberger, Tim Moen, W. Stuart Jones, John Royer, and Shawn Lemonnier.”

“Now wait a minute! Where's my credit?”

Donald’s Lines in This Duckburg Life: Louie Sells Out

It is getting predictable what Donald’s gonna say in these. One can hope Tony Anselmo only had to record some of these lines in the credits only once.

It’s getting easier to understand now.

“Do I have to do this everytime?”

“Ahem, This Duckburg Life is a production of Duckburg Public Radio.”

“Staff includes Gino Guzzardo, Dan Siegel, Joe Crowley, Jenna Hicks, Ben Acker, Megan Gonzalez, Ben Siemon, Sam Riegel, Mark Kondracki, Jordan King, Ethan Grafton, and Kayla Egan.”

“I need a line check.”

“Featuring the voice talents of Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz, Bobby Moynihan, Beck Bennett, Jim Rash, Keith Ferguson, Sam Riegel, Josh Brenner, Eric Bauza, Susanne Blakeslee, and Tony Anselmo!”

“Oh no, not again.”

“With very generous support from Matt Youngberg, Francisco Angones. That sounds pretty good.  Suzanna Olson, Laura Reynolds, Madison Bateman, Colleen Evanson. She’s a sweet kid. Christian Magalhaes, Bob Snow, Tanner Johnson, Aaron Drown, Julia Pleasants, David Wright, Leonna Beckert, Dawn Connors, Carolyn Roach, Collette Weinberger, Tim Moen, W. Stuart Jones, John Royer, and Shawn Lemonnier.”

“Phew, what a mouthful!”
