* Goofy and Max bring RealAfterAll makes complete sense if you've been paying attention in previous episodes where we see various locations and elements from ''Goof Troop'' and ''A Goofy Movie'', such as Spoonerville, Lesters Possum Park and Powerline.

*Fridge Tearjerker, actually: In one of Goofy's photos with his son Max, Goofy is shown holding baby Max's hand, and he, Goofy, appears to have a sad look in his eyes. Goofy's wife was already a MissingMom in ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', but this photo seems to suggest that she met [[DeathByChildbirth an even more tragic fate]] than the fans previously thought!

** Also, just like with these versions of characters like Webby, Beakley, and Huey, Dewey, & Louie, their rebooted selves may be InNameOnly versions with little in common with their real selves, meaning that they could have lost their true identities, which is definetly a FateWorseThanDeath.
** And to make things worse, what if the reboot took a DarkerAndEdgier route? For this kind of show, that would mean that situations typical of sitcoms such as AmusingInjuries and family dramas would be played dead serious, which, if it also averted NegativeContinuity, could most likely just split the family all over again, and possibly gave them more realisitc traumatic experiences such as bullying with equally realisitc consequences.

** Also, "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S3E16TheFirstAdventure The First Adventure!]]" reveals that a young Donald's very first adventure with Scrooge and Della involved a magical papyrus that worked as a LiteralGenie, so he knows how dangerous a magical wish can be.

** Moreover, the show's already done a "triplet tries to hide a weird pet from the family" episode in which the perpetrator is ''[[Recap/DuckTales2017S1E19TheOtherBinOfScroogeMcDuck Huey]]''. That was a B-Plot to an episode very concerned with emotional manipulation and exploitative relationships, where Louie's attempts to expose Gavin / Tenderfeet's scam to his well-meaning but naive brothers mirrors Lena's growing reluctance to trick Webby only to be exploited herself by Magica. One, this is further evidence that this isn't a good storyline for the "real" Louie, and two, the sitcom world simplifies the family's life by draining it of its full thematic weight and emotional richness.

* The show puts Goof Troop and Goofy Movie into the same continuity. That's cool and all, but there is also the implication that Peg finally got fed up with Pete's get-rich-quick schemes and divorced him, taking Pistol with her. She and Pistol are nowhere to be found in Goofy Movie.

** But supposing the show was rebooted... how long would it take for that to happen? This reboot already had to wait ''27 years'' after the original's end before being released.

** Building on to the above, it makes sense for Louie to be the one to make that suggestion. After all, he's the greedy one among the trio, and Jafar made that wish due to his greedness (albeit for power instead of money in his case).



* Makes sense for Louie to suggest that Donald should have used his third wish to become a genie. He's the greedy one among Donald's nephews, and Jafar made that wish precisely due to his greedness (albeit for power rather than money).

* One of Donald's photos shows the Quack Pack versions of him and the triplets getting attacked by a tyrannosaur and a pterosaur, despite getting attacked by living prehistoric creatures being more atypical in the normal timeline. However, given both archosaurs don't look realistic (in contrast to other non-sapient animals in this show), it's most likely they are not the real deal.

** When Goofy explains to Donald that each family is different, he’s also saying that despite how dysfunctional Pete’s family is, they still were a family and each had their own special way of showing how much they cared.

* According to Donald, the previous "episode" was about Louie breaking Della's favorite vase and learning a lesson about honesty. Earlier, Louie made a remark about using Scrooge's bad example to excuse future lies. This was most likely Gene's way of [[StatusQuoIsGod preserving the status quo]].

* When Launchpad is about to play his song, it abruptly cuts to another scene, and when we finally cut back to him, it’s when the song is over.

** Gene is pulling ideas from SliceOfLife '90s sitcoms. ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' was an animated SliceOfLife '90s sitcom. The DropInCharacter is a signature trope of the sitcom format, and in ''Goof Troop'', that character was usually Goofy.

** If everyone from the cast exists in the "reboot" version, they'll just be magically turned into their reboot selves, with no memory of their earlier sitcom selves other than the uncanny ability to pull a MythologyGag. Not sure how a permanent cancellation would work out...

* Gene offhandedly mentions that "it will probably be cancelled and rebooted". What if the show was permanently "cancelled"? It's shown that Huey was keenly aware when there was a scene change that he wasn't a part of; he at least knew what happened but he wasn't there. Would they simply cease to exist? Would Donald even be aware of this until it's too late?

* Collie Baba having two different lamps (the one from "The Treasure of the Found Lamp!" and the one in this episode) makes a bit more sense when you realize the original series also had two distinct genie lamps: the one from the episode "The Master of the Djinni" with a {{Dogface}} JackassGenie and the one from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' with a duck-faced BenevolentGenie named Gene. In D'jinn's flashback, his genie ancestor even looks a bit like the one from "The Master of the Djinni".

Added DiffLines:

** It can also be viewed as the wish pulling from reality to fulfill the concept. Della is surprised Goofy is there, but a normal sitcom episode requires some kind of zany situation to be resolved. Donald's wish is the zany situation, and it got the normal well-timed epiphany from a friend for Donald to realize his mistake.
