YMMV / Duck Tales S 1 E 12 Top Duck

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Ripcord, Birdy, and Loopy all ended up being well-liked by the fandom and have remained some of the best-remembered one-shot characters in the show even decades after it ended.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
  • Three of them in fact. Launchpad's loving family; Ripcord, Birdie and Loopy McQuack are very well liked and fondly remembered despite only appearing once in the episode "Top Duck" (with Ripcord and Loopy getting a non-speaking cameo in "Til Nephews Do Us Part"). Fans requested they make another appearance but all they got was a cameo in the Darkwing Duck episode "U.F. Foe."
  • Bomber Beagle never appears after this episode. One might think that a pilot affiliated with the Beagle Boys could have played a good recurring role as an Evil Counterpart to Launchpad.
