Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not dvd related, but I was just wondering if anybody else out there has checked out any of the Gargoyles comics. Wish I could say I've kept up with them, but I haven't gotten an issue since the first one. <<;;

But anywho, it is a pretty interesting series, or at least it looks like it's interesting. : p Lots of stuff that I've seen in it that's making me go "Disney's actually ALLOWING this?! o.O".

Now you have me intrigued.
Again.

Just a quick post to say I have my copy of "DuckTales", even before it's out, yay! And the first episode is entitled "Duck to the Future". That sounds like gold! biggrin

EDIT: It was. Webbi was married to Doofus?? The nephews went into business with Magica de Spell and formed Magica McDuck Industries??

Some other great episodes on the first disc too. Much more Magica than previously, which is always good. References to Lord of the Rings & Lovecraft, too. And one of my favourite ever episodes, where Magica casts a spell on McDuck Manor to make everyone's worse fears come true - culminating in Uncle Scrooge disowning the nephews and the nephews chucking their uncle out of the house... Fantastic! biggrin

Yep, I've gone all squee again biggrin biggrin biggrin

Scrooge was searching for this ugly idol called the "Mask of Cthululu"...

The LOTR reference was Magica chanting "One dime to rule them all, one dime to find them!" then cackling maniacally.

Oh and I've now got to the introduction of Gizmoduck to Duckberg. There's a point where he says "Of course, you know *this* means a skirmish!" Warners, take a bow, please.

Watching Giz's first episodes suddenly makes me realise exactly why Darkwing & Gizmoduck do *not* get along. They're far too much alike; both have a flair for flamboyance, both like to get noticed and both have an "ego the size of a small planet".

BTW, although I haven't had time to watch yet, "TaleSpin" arrived this week. It contains one of the "banned" episodes, so there's hope that if and when the third & presumably final DVD set comes out (there were only 65 episodes), that will contain the last ever episode and the one Disney hasn't shown in donkeys' years. I think it's something to do with a terrorist plot in Cape Suzette.
