I'm not fond of the way several characters are portrayed, most notably Mrs. Beakley and the kids. The triplets just give me horrible Quack Pack flashbacks and both Webby and Beakley have lost all of the charm that made me like them in the original show. But that's just my opinion, of course.

I just feel as though they went from a timeless character type to one that already feels dated and overplayed. But, again, that's me. The boys just feel annoyingly smug and self aware while Beakley and Webby feel like they've had all femininity stripped from them in an attempt to make them "progressive." Plus I'm just sick of child characters clearly being played by Saturday Night Live alumni who can't be bothered to try sounding like children.

I understand what you mean but the reason the  reboot webby and beakley is not like the original ones is because women in modern times are equal to men and they do their jobs as well,they are just human beings like us you know and the reason child cartoons voiced by adult ones is because they are always like that they couldn't hire actual child ones.Still that is your opinion and I am okay with the series.

I never felt that either character was portrayed as inequal back in the 80's.

You're not being rude at all. I just think it's a disservice to girls and women to only portray female characters that act masculine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a feminine female character. I thought Webbigail was an adorable character because she was a sweet little girl who brought out Scrooge's gentle side like nobody else could. The new Webby just feels like Dipper from Gravity Falls in a dress. I don't find her nearly as charming.

That's my biggest gripe about the new DuckTales. It feels like it's trying to be Gravity Falls. I understand that series was a hit and Disney wants to recapture that lightning since they shot themselves in the foot by letting it end after two seasons, but it just doesn't feel right to me to take a series that's already so great and force it to be a completely different series. It's clunky and awkward. It would be like bringing back the Flintstones but really it's just Darkwing Duck being acted out by the Flintstones characters. Both great series, but they don't exactly work together.

Actually I think the reboot webby is like the ducktales version of Mabel  from gravity falls and your opinion maybe.Though if the series would be renewed for a third season.

Really kind of a combination of the two. All I know is that she felt far too much like another character being put into Webby's body than the character I was fond of.
