Maybe that’s because I mostly read the Italian Disney comicbooks (they had the same style as this image) but I always thought Scrooge was aupposed to be a greedy, cruel prick who usually gets his commeupins at the end?
They softened that image in the US by having him adopt his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie in a cartoon.
The comic books also have these characters. Scrooge is an asshole to the nephews most of the time
We can only hope.
That Ghislaine Quaxwell caricature should have saggier tits & a potbelly.
“Eat the rich” absolutely includes Scrooge.
Definitely. Although hed be the only one id be a little sad about, duck tales propaganda got me as a child sorry to say. But the hoarding cannot be excused.
But he’d be the most edible at least
Scrooge McNuggets
Scrooge would have sold Epstein out for a dull nickel.
Yeah, you don’t get to Scrooge McDuck levels of money by being friendly. He absolutely would’ve sold out Epstein then made his own island, because the money bin doesn’t fill itself.
Sure, until you realize that Goofrey has videos of Scrooge alone and undressing in front of multiple gosslings… There’s a reason Goofrey was able to life the life he had openly and without getting slapped around by the system.
I tried rewatching these, to re-live some happy part of my childhood. Turns out Scrooge McDuck is actually a giant asshole.
When I was a kid, DuckTales was the show that made me notice the hollowness that pervades all Disney productions. Never understood why it was popular.
In 2026, there would have been an episode where he partners with the techbros (which are related to the Beagle Bros some how) to get rich off of “selling intelligence”, Only to be stopped by his nephews uncovering a deep conspiracy to take over the world at the last minute(a partnership with Magika and Glomgold, perhaps) , and Scrooge pivoting to making a tidy profit from selling all the DRAM and renting data center space he’s suddenly come into possession of. It would have been a 2-episode season-ending cliffhanger.
His namesake kinda gives it away
I think the remake with David Tenant seemed really good. Didn’t finish it, however.
Only in America can super rich characters like Scrooge, Richie Rich, Batman be the protagonists we are supposed to cheer for
If Gizmoduck ends up being caught up in this
later
oh god damn it!
Blabbering blatherscythes!
Look, Epstein was a businessman. Im she Scrooge was just there to invest in his massage business
