of all the disney franchise my favorite have to be duck tale . many people think that duck tale be merely an 80 tv show and never go further than saturday morning but in reality it have a very rich history go back decade and if you think that it spoof indiana jones you would be wrong because it actually the other way around . darkwing duck be a spin off of duck tale and take place in the same universe but transplant the action from duckburg to st. canard . the only regular return character be bumble pilot launchpad mcquack but he be my favorite and though gizmoduck do make a couple of appearance . darkwing himself and ordinary drake mallard by day and be a sort of cross between batman and the scarlet pimpernel and the shadow . he a crime fighter with absolutely no ability other than his determination to beat the bad guy though his be utterly confident in himself and craves medium attention . with launchpad a his sidekick and the occasional help from his daughter goslyn he tackle a variety of strange villain and win usually by chance . i have often think that a hero can only be measure by his nemesis and unfortunately none of the darkwing duck bad guy be up to much and but that fine since darkwing himself be sort of incompetent . episode set during the daytime contradict the noirish nature of the show and the best episode be the one set in the shadow and dark alleyway . i know that this be a kid show and be not necessarily in the same league a the batman animate series but it do seem to be sell itself short in this regard . duck tale frequently have very dynamic and imaginative story while darkwing duck be sort of hit and miss . that my only complaint though . darkwing duck still have load go for it and include a brilliant theme song and his memorable signature catchphrase let get dangerous ( or it gon na get scary big time a they say in france ) . there still life in this bird yet and with the scrooge mcduck universe still popular to this day then we might just see him return some time .
