This basically, but point any of this anywhere else but here and you'll get called a hater. The original Ducktales didn't try to be too deep on lore, but the characters were genuinely far more endearing even with 80s/90s limits and made you care for them. Hell, people keep talking about how emotional and full of development this show is, but this supposed development is just cheap fan pandering or some brief moment of doing something out of character.
Now in contrast to the original Ducktales, there was an actual sense of real character growth as the series went on. About 5 years ago, an episode involved Scrooge being manipulated (via an illusion) into think that his nephews had become corrupted and used legal mumbo to steal away his wealth. The previous episodes showed Scrooge being incredibly cheap with the nephews but slowly becoming more generous but at times still distrusting of them, and most of the time showing value for his money above all else, but in said episode after having everything he owns taken by his (fake) nephews who insult him and tell him that they never cared for him and were simply out to get his money as they kick him out of his own home, the first thing that goes through his mind as he's locked out in the rain is to fucking cry as he watches his nephews walk away and the thought of money never crosses his mind, crying mainly because he believed he failed them, claiming it was his fault for not loving them enough and failing them as a parent, which took place as the boys were tortured and kicked out by a (fake) evil Scrooge, as they two were also heartbroken. The whole damn thing is then followed up with the broken hearted family reuniting and hugging in the rain as the freaking rain and tears flow together, happily telling each other that they mean the world to each other. One of the biggest moments of character growth for them in the series that would define Scrooge's continued growth in selflessness towards his family.
Which brings up my main point: Initially the show starts off with Scrooge being a greedy old… scrooge, and while his lust for money remains an ever present trait, you see it slowly decline into a simple desire, as in the second half of the series he no longer wanted to make money just for the sake of it, he wanted that money to become the foundation for the future of not just himself, but of his nephews (and that cave kid he adopted). And that damn episode illusion episode had zero childhood nostalgic meaning to me, yet it somehow still moved the old ticker, unlike any moment in this show. Only redeeming trait about it is some moments of animation.

Way too many points of you list are not references, but comments. Other than that:
>>1061635
>- "The Life and Times of Della Duck" is again a comic reference.
To be more precise, The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is a series of comics by Don Rosa about how Scrooge got rich.
>>1061636
>- Did Gladstone make an appearance in the old show? I know for sure he's a character from the comics.
Yes he did.
>>1061646
>- Castle McDuck also appears in the old show and is also haunted.
The Castle also appears in several comics.
>>1061666
The rest of the list are invention from classic Ducktales that turned evil.
>>1061672
>- Fehtry is a Toppolino character (exclusively?).
No, Fehtry is an Egmont character. His first comics were from America, but done for the European market. In the American comics his Sweatshirt was pink, in the Italian and Danish comics it's red and in the Brazilian comics it's yellow btw..
>S2E3 (Ballad of Duck Baloney)
- In this origin story he's from South Africa, just like in the comics. In classic Ducktales ha was Scottish, like Scrooge.
>S2E6 (Last Christmas)
- At the Christmas party in the past some guy shows Scrooge a square rock from the Andes and wants him to finance an expedition. This is a reference to "Lost in the Andes" by Carl Barks.
>- the 3 ghosts of Christmas aren't the ones from Mickey's Christmas Carol, sadly. The drunk looking giant ghost is a pig here with similar clothes, the Goofy ghost looks like Death, and Jiminy Cricket was replaced, but looks similar.
Goofy was not part of the 3 ghosts. Goofy was the ghost of Jacob Marley who was the only friend of Scrooge and had recently passed on. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come was done by Pete. I remembered this one wrong too.
>S2E9 (Outlaw Scrooge)
- The time traveling bathtub is a reference to the classic Ducktales episode "Sir Gyro de Gearloose".

It's not attention to detail. It's an attempt to appease the old fans without too much effort.
Instead of making a show that the fans of the comics or the old show would actually like, they are just cramming as much references as possible into the show.
It's a very common tactic in video games. When the publisher says "We want to reach a bigger audience." and "We haven't forgotten about the old fans.", you can pretty much expect a dumped down game, the fans won't like, but that has also a few references only the old fans will get.

Not that many other than a few of the old villians being reused and a few other things here and there. Dream Valley and Equestria are just too vastly different thematically speaking for there to be too many references.

Yeah I don't even know why it was necessary for me to explain nostalgia towards something great from the 90s (80s?), because there's nothing bad about it. The references in The Duck Knight Returns were brilliant.
Those complaining about the annoying references are probably jerking off in the Frozen 2 thread right now.
If you like that shit, you don't have any right to complain about anything.

>DuckTales fans quacked their hands and went wild when, during the Disney Channel show’s annual panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the revival’s creators welcomed surprise panel guest Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has provided the voice of brainy superhero Gizmoduck on the series since season 1 (but finally made his long-awaited SDCC debut with the cast). In addition, the panel kept the surprises coming by revealing a jam-packed new ensemble poster teasing the season 2 and 3 arrivals of Daisy Duck, Goofy, and several beloved faces from the famed ‘90s “Disney Afternoon” line-up
>As the poster reveals, the current second and upcoming third seasons of DuckTales will add to its ever-expanding ensemble with appearances from Gadget, Chip, Dale, and Monterey Jack from Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, a grown-up Kit and Molly from TaleSpin, Gosalyn Mallard from Darkwing Duck, and more. All three shows, famous for their prime spots on Disney’s ‘90s animated afternoon programming block, have slowly but surely made their presences known on the modern DuckTales; recent introductions of characters like Drake Mallard and Don Karnage have only primed audiences for more familiar faces from the Disney Afternooniverse.
>And yet, don’t overlook the huge significance in Daisy Duck finally joining her paramour Donald on the show, as the well-eyeshadowed character did not appear in the original late-‘80s run of DuckTales. Meanwhile, Goofy’s arrival quacks two boxes here—his tenure in the Mickey & Friends family is legendary on its own, but in the particular case of the modern DuckTales, Goofy’s dad-bod inclusion opens the door for the potential future of another cherished Afternoon title, Goof Troop (starring teen karaoke heartthrob Max Goof). That possibility has already been alluded to in a recent episode where Dewey and Della duet on a song from A Goofy Movie.
>Of course, the new faces are but supporting players to the continued machinations of Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Donald, Della, Launchpad, and Scrooge as they anchor Matt Youngberg and Frank Angones’ marvelous revival. Now in its third season, the show has long since graduated from its reboot roots to become its own joyously original adventure—and the clever reinventions of characters from the worlds of Disney Afternoon and Mickey & Friends are only continuing to add new riches to a series already overflowing with them.

It's okay and all but how the fuck is Della x Penumbra a thing and not Webby x literally every female character she meets?!
Where is even the chemistry between those two? I actually hate those terribly designed moon people. And since the existence of Della along Webby (same personality) and Launchpad (is another pilot) is redundant, it's very predictable that she will return to the moon and reign it as a queen. So why should I care about Della, when she's literally going to return to her home planet soon?

The show has too many damn characters combined with how the show overly focuses on Webby and/or one of the triplets. Donald hardly does anything in proportion to how important he supposedly is. Webby has another little friend character even after putting in Lena (who's an interesting enough idea of a character but is limited to Webby). And we're going to get even more Disney Afternoon characters next season.

I'm annoyed by that too, at first I thought that new friend is gonna be a villain, getting herself possessed by Magica instead of Lena. I don't understand why she's there, Lena isn't even done with her arc.
I'm not that mad though, I care more about the episodes itself than the characters. Especially since my favorite characters are some of the villains and Zan Owlson.
