Them and Magica DeSpell too.I'm kind of surprised that they didn't end up doing much with the Beagle's, to be honest .

It could be a case of either not being able to fit them into the larger story, or maybe voice actor availability. Eric Bauza is also doing voice work on Muppet Babies, TOTS, Looney Tunes Cartoons, and Doug Unplugs.I'm kind of surprised that they didn't end up doing much with the Beagle's, to be honest .
I have to admit that this does bother me. The show runners cast Catherine Tate as Magica so that she would be a wonderful counterpart to Scrooge -- and yet the only time that those two have interacted was in "The Shadow War!" And even then, they only spoke to one another in two or three scenes. I hope that they will have more interaction in what's left of season 3, because this is the biggest loose end IMO. Well, that and the fact that we still don't know anything about Poe De Spell.Them and Magica DeSpell too.

Like I said in an earlier post, the focus on the kids held back on the show's potential. Ever since her defeat, almost every episode with Magica De Spell focused on Lena. The only episode Magica was in that Lena wasn't was the one involving the bet between Scrooge and Glomgold, and that plot was very underwhelming.
I'm disappointed that Poe De Spell wasn't used either.
I already mentioned this.Negaduck isn't making a comeback before the finale.
Given that season 3 is last, I guess this means we won't see Negaduck again in the series .

I mean, his whole threat at the end after transforming into Negaduck seemed like it was begging for a follow-up. I guess even going into this thinking it was likely to be the last season, they felt like they had run up as much Darkwing as they could do in a Ducktales show with "Let's Get Dangerous."It felt as though he was a one-and-done character anyway (not counting the cameo that he made as Jim Starling within the TV series in "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!"). My sense of his "birth scene" at the end of "The Duck Knight Returns!" was that the goal was to tell Negaduck's origin story (and Drake's) but not necessarily to do more with him than that. Then again, Drake came back for "Moon-vasion!" and "Let's Get Dangerous!", so I suppose the possibility was always there that Jim/Negaduck would come back too. Still, the main thing (IMO) is that we've seen Drake a few times (and likely will again in what's left of season 3). Anything more with Jim/Negaduck would've been a nice bonus.
That I do understand -- it was a great tease! I guess the reason I felt a bit iffy regarding the chances of a follow-up was because he's not a typical "DuckTales villain". I hoped to see him again but I didn't get too attached to the idea. I feel similarly about Goofy. Would love to see him again after "Quack Pack!" but I just can't see it happening in what's left of this season. (That said... it would have been so great if Negaduck had teamed up with Magica!)I mean, his whole threat at the end after transforming into Negaduck seemed like it was begging for a follow-up.

I get that but I think going into a season you're expecting might be your last, you would kind of want to wrap up as many loose plot threads as possible (which, to be fair, they've slowly but surely been doing), but I guess they were really banking/hoping on getting a Darkwing spinoff .Well the thing is that "The Duck Knight Returns" was written and fully planned out BEFORE they had really worked on or nailed down all the ideas they wanted to do with season 3. So it's likely that they did do that ending with the implication of "yeah we want to bring back NegaDuck at some point" but when working on Season 3, realized they never had space for it wanting to make it this big deal they felt it deserved, and not just wanting to cram it into a story. I mean with "Let's Get Dangerous" you're already introducing this take on Tauros Bulba and Gosalyn as well as bringing back the villains from the show within a show AND having to tie it into the main FOWL plot of the season that even with an hour's amount of time didn't want to just force in NegaDuck in there as well. Thus this is one of those ideas they just never got around to that will have to be picked up by the DW Reboot which yeah especially with DT ending I have more faith in being a spinoff part of that universe so will likely give focus to NegaDuck in some form whenever it comes out.
You could say it's a similar situation to Ian Jones Quarty and OK KO. He figured that season 3 would've been about 40 episodes long, but was told very early on that the show would end after 3 seasons and he would only get 20 episodes. He wrapped up the story he wanted to tell, but there was still more potential there. Perhaps the creators of this series were told very early on that season 3 would be the last, and thus had to cut the Negaduck stuff out as it would interfere with the main plot.I get that but I think going into a season you're expecting might be your last, you would kind of want to wrap up as many loose plot threads as possible (which, to be fair, they've slowly but surely been doing), but I guess they were really banking/hoping on getting a Darkwing spinoff .
I had wondered the same regarding the possibility of a three-part finale. Hmm. Well, I guess we'll see.Speaking of how much episodes are left if this is like season one and two and it totals about 25 half hour episodes a season that only leaves 6 half hours left for the story. I'm going to say like Gravity Falls second season they'll get another half hour tossed in for a total of 76 and likely have like a 3 part series finale instead of two parts so there will likely only be about four regular episodes and then the finale.
