History Recap / DuckTales2017S1E1Woooo

* WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings:
** Scrooge is furious when his nephews and Webby accidentally wreck stuff in his garage as well as his money bin, though he admits that it was the most fun he's had in years.
** Glomgold blows up Atlantis, which was an ancient city built by an advanced civilization, and left most of the treasure in it to sink.

* AudienceSurrogate: The three nephews serve as one, reacting with surprise about Donald's reputation as an adventurer (an aspect of the Duck familiar to comics fans and maybe [[VideoGame/QuackShot those]] [[VideoGame/DonaldInMauiMallard who]] [[VideoGame/DonaldDuckGoinQuackers played some]] old console games) but largely unknown to people who know him from the classic cartoons and earlier takes (where he was usually Mickey's sidekick), and likewise, serve as the viewpoint into the legendary Scrooge [=McDuck=] who has generally not appeared in media since the end of the first ''[=DuckTales=]'' series.

** Webby's wall chart includes notes that foreshadow plot elements for a number of upcoming episodes, including:

* DidNotThinkThisThrough:

* EasilyForgiven: Mrs Beakley is pretty quick to forgive Webby for sneaking out and lying to her. She just wants her granddaughter to be honest with her.

** The boys were skeptical of Scrooges stuff being real, then Peghook the ghost pirate appears.

** Donald when he, Dewey and Scrooge are trapped in the treasure room calls out Scrooge for not keeping the boys safe and only caring about the current adventure. He's justified in doing so, although it should be noted in Scrooge's defence that he actually ''has'' been trying to keep the boys safe throughout the expedition to Atlantis.

* SeldomSeenSpecies:
** A ''Geosternbergia'' skeleton can be found in Scrooge's garage.
** Literal species example: The ''Triceratops'' skeleton appears to be based on ''T. prorsus'', as opposed to the better known ''T. horridus''.

-->'''Donald:''' Remember, no tricks, no lies, no trouble.
-->'''Huey, Dewey and Louie:''' Yes, Uncle Donald.
-->'''Donald:''' I wasn't talking to ''you.'' (he and Scrooge give each other a mutual DeathGlare).

* TheCameo: Roxanne (or someone of a similar design as she lacks the mole Roxanne had) from ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' is in the waiting room with Donald.

-->'''Louie:''' Lying: it's the responsible thing to do.

--->'''Louie''': You gotta dress for the job you want, not the job you ''have'', [[{{Jerkass}} which is no job.]]

---> '''Hack:''' But I thought employees were greatest treasure of all!
---> '''Glomgold:''' Don't be ridiculous! ''Treasure'' is the greatest treasure of all! That's why it's called "treasure"!

-->'''Everyone (Except Scrooge):''' Whoooooaaaa!\\

-->'''Donald:''' Oh, here we go! Giving orders like he's the richest duck in the world!
-->'''Scrooge:''' I ''am'' the richest duck in the world!

-->'''Flintheart Glomgold:''' He thinks he's so rich and so Scottish. But I'm wearing a kilt, [=McDuck=]! '''''A KILT!'''''

-->'''Launchpad [=McQuack=]:''' Don't worry. A little snake venom neveeerrr... heerrr... [drifts off, then wakes up suddenly] Hi, nice to meet you! I'm everybody's friend! [falls unconscious]

-->'''Flintheart Glomgold:''' Treasures the greatest treasure of all that's why its called treasure. Glomgold out!

-->'''Scrooge:''' ''[To each of the triplets in turn]'' Huey. Louie. The third one.

-->'''Huey:''' [=McDuck=] Manor? As in ''Scrooge'' [=McDuck=]?!
-->'''Dewey:''' ''The bajillionaire?!''
-->'''Louie:''' You're finally gonna sell us.

'''Everyone Else:''' There it is.

--->'''Scrooge:''' ''[In obvious agony]'' It'll take more than a... bruised spine... to shake Ol' Scrooge, ye... [[BigStupidDoodooHead bad dragon dog]].

* AdultFear:
** Among one of Donald's worries is Huey handling a hot stove to make a breakfast for him.
** Donald having to find a last-minute babysitter for a job interview. Then realizing the boys sent the babysitter the wrong address so they could hotwire the houseboat and go off for an adventure.
** Mrs. Beakley finding out that her granddaughter sneaked out of the house to go with Scrooge, and lied to her. She tells Webby that while hanging out with Scrooge is more than fine, to at least be honest with her about it.
** Also Donald realizing that his nephews are in danger, thanks to the one person he thought could keep them safe for a few hours.
** Scrooge is clearly worried that Dewey's headstrong actions will get him killed, as he's doing his best to keep him safe; his original plan was for the kids to stay by the sub while he scouted ahead but Dewey impulsively ran ahead.

** Dewey brings up [[WesternAnimation/TaleSpin Cape Suzette]] early on, while [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck St. Canard]] and [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop Spoonerville]] are mentioned during Scrooge's meeting at the beginning of the episode.

** When Captain Peghook's head bursts into flames, the blue coloration of the fire and black skull resembles that of [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures a Coolflame]].
** When brainstorming what to do to stop Pixiu from eating Scrooge's gold, Webigail mentions an [[Recap/WanderOverYonderS2E20TheSickDayTheSkyGuy Oblivion Mirror]] before Dewey brings forth the Medusa gauntlet they end up using.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The scene with Scrooge's board of directors has Bentley lacking his monocle and facial mole, and Buford lacking his hair. Even more egregious is that Bentley is in the center seat and the only one speaking, when in all subsequent episodes this position goes to Bradford. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that Bentley and Buford are monosyllabic clones of Bradford, making this talkative version of Bentley even more jarring.]]

*** A note that reads "22 + 1400 = 87?", which stands for "[[spoiler:[[Recap/DuckTales2017S3E22TheLastAdventure Agent 22 + MCD[uck] = Project 87]]]]".

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The scene with Scrooge's board of directors has Bentley Buzzard lacking his monocle and facial mole, and Buford lacking his hair. Even more egregious is that Bentley is in the center seat and the only one speaking, when in all subsequent episodes this position goes to Bradford. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that Bentley and Buford are monosyllabic clones of Bradford, making this talkative version of Bentley even more jarring.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The scene with Scrooge's board of directors has Bentley Buzzard lacking his monocle and facial mole, and Buford lacking his hair. Even more egregious is that Bentley is in the center seat and the only one speaking, when in all subsequent episodes this position goes to Bradford. [[spoiler: It's ultimately revealed that Bentley and Buford are monosyllabic clones of Bradford, making this talkative version of Bentley even more jarring.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The mural in the Glomgold Industries lobby; ducks toiling with hammers and spades with a [[EvilOverlooker very buff Glomgold looking over them where the sun should be]] is clearly inspired by the posters of Chairman Mao of Communist China.

** When Webby captures the triplets, she asks them who sent them into Scrooge's house, specifically asking if they were sent by "Ma Beagle" or "Glomgold". The latter shows up as the villain of the second half of the pilot, while the former is slated to appear in the very next episode.
** Much of the dialog between Scrooge and Donald foreshadows reveals from near the end of the season regarding why they had a falling out.

** Donald is seen possessing his [[IconicOutfit blue sailor suit]] from his more mainstream appearances before wearing a black and white version closer to his [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse comic appearance]] later on. The coloring of the former is reminiscent of his ''MickeyMouse2013'' appearance.

* NoodleIncident: Donald and Scrooge's brief argument over "the Spear of Selene." It's implied to have something to do with the disappearance of the triplets' mother, Della.

* AdaptedOut:
** Scrooge's uncles Angus "Porthole" [=McDuck=] and Jake are absent from Webby's family tree of the [=McDuck=] Clan.
*** Porthole is eventually mentioned in The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades!
** Scrooge's butler Duckworth is absent (later revealed to have died before the series began). His role as Scrooge's domestic and chauffeur is split between Mrs. Beakley and Launchpad respectively.
