Keywords: Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, Disney XD

Some of you might find this of interest: “Darkwing Duck, the mysterious mallard superhero who headlined his own 1991 animated series as part of the beloved Disney Afternoon lineup, will swing his way into Duckburg on Disney XD’s upcoming revival of DuckTales.” Certainly my wife will: Darkwing Duck is part of her growing-up cartoon lineup, the way that Star Blazers, Transformers, and GI Joe was part of mine. Heck, she might even be willing to consider cable, now.

…Well, no. But it’ll at least tempt her.

So they’re doing a retro-snarky ANT-MAN on Disney XD

I love the colors and the aesthetic.  They wanted to get the old-school Marvel look, and I think they succeeded. I don’t mind the snark, given that Ant-Man was a movie that recognized the basic absurdity of its premise and decided to go have fun with it. This looks entertaining, but not particularly deep.  I like having that, every so often.
