* Della's encouraging the kids not to let their mistakes and shortcomings drag them down and reading the riot act to her uncle is a subtle revisit to what she went through with Louie in the events between "Timephoon!" and "Richest Duck In The World!". Scrooge getting worked up with the kids' botching up the mission and insensitively implying he would replace them isn't unlike how Della, even if discipline was necessary in Louie's case, constantly put him down to the point where she made prerecorded lectures that sounded as if she had it out for him. The common denominator in both cases was how those on the receiving end weren't given enough of an opportunity or drive to grow in a constructive way. Della now understands that mistakes and flaws are inevitable, but at the end of the day, it's important to allow kids room to grow. Once Scrooge apologizes to the kids for letting their failures get the best of him, they regain the will to learn from their mistakes and try again. It is for that reason Louie was able to learn his lesson as he (without realizing it) was given the opportunity to confront his worst flaws and deconstruct his way of thinking that contributed to said flaws, and without Della's involvement.

The same reason she wouldn’t want to take over her uncle’s company when he retires; it’s just too big a responsibility for her, and she already knows that this is not her calling.

In other words, [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} if there's a prize for rotten judgment, she feels she's already won that. No man is worth the aggravation.

* Della's speech to Scrooge about the kids constantly feeling the need to prove themselves likely comes from experience—since she and Donald have been accompanying (and possibly living with) Scrooge for at least twenty years, ever since they were the same age as the triplets. As seen in ''The First Adventure!'', Scrooge was already a seasoned adventurer who didn't want children hanging around him when Donald and Della showed up, so Della likely faced similar issues during her own "kid sidekick" days with Scrooge.

* Given the obvious amount of HoYay that Storkules feels toward Donald, why is he not jealous of Daisy? Because, in-universe, Storkules considers himself, Donald, and Daisy to be a OneTrueThreesome. Whether his feelings for Donald are ''eros'' or ''philia'', he doesn't consider her a rival for Donald's affections, so much as an addition to their relationship.

* In the ''Literature/{{Iliad}}'' the gods once tried to dethrone Zeus and failed, but here they succeed and strip him of his powers. There's two big differences between the mythical attempt and the one in the show:
** In the ''Iliad'' not all the gods are on it (it's openly stated that Thetis and Briareus kept the other gods from binding Zeus, allowing him to beat them down), but here they're all on it.
** As Homer doesn't have Heracles as a god, he didn't take part in the coup. Here however Storkules is a god, and took part in it.
