I know everyone loved the moment Scrooge went all protective dad mode on Webby, but I can’t stop thinking about the fact he deadass ditched Webby in a swamp to go find youth juice with Goldie.
He third wheeled Webby, who had back pain and a swollen eye. Would he have done the same had he known the truth?
Let’s dissect that.
Scrooge is selfish, no doubt about that. But it rubbed me the wrong way that he only cared about Webby’s safety to the extent of wanting to baby her and put her in a life jacket when he knew she was his daughter. Why didn’t the other kids, including May and June, get that treatment?
It’s really upsetting. It just shows that a biologic daughter (his favorite biologic daughter) is more important than even his biologic nephews.
The lifevest moment is cute and sweet if you just look at it, but if just stop to give it a thought and look at the characters as a whole… Is it right? Should this situation really be happening? With them, right now?
I see your points and they’re valid…tbh, I’m not sure if Scrooge would have cheerfully left his kid behind in the Foreverglades, then had an, “Oh, shit” moment and gone back once sense caught up to him. I had a different interpretation of the life vest moment, though…I do need to watch the finale again when initial reactions are past and I can analyze it…but I saw it as him thinking “wait how do I dad” and he defaulted to things he’d seen Donald do. Granted, the boys were still left out, but that’s just my $.02 worth on that bit.
Tag your vent posts. Tag your discourse. Tag anything you have a problem with.
I don’t want to see it, and if you don’t tag that shit I’m blocking you. Not sorry.
Let people who enjoyed the ending be happy, and not flood the tags with posts that could’ve been avoided. You have your opinions, that’s fine, but frankly I’d rather keep all the hate and pessimistic comments away from this blog and anyone else who doesn’t want to see it.
Thoughts on the finale to come later…this post is spoiler-safe…but, dang, 11pm-12am was the longest hour ever. Xfinity was like, “Yes, you get it at midnight, but in your time zone. No peeksies!”
Initial reaction: There were a few things I would have done differently and, yeah, parts that weren’t my favorite, but overall I thought it was a solid conclusion with a ton of great moments. And my main fic-verse has become exactly as AU as I thought it would be, but not in the ways I predicted.
Part of me has been concerned, considering that some factions of the fandom have been preparing to hate the finale for a couple weeks now. But then I reminded myself that they can’t steal my joy, no matter what they think. If I’m disappointed by it, so be it, but if I love it, then great. Will I have fix-it ideas? Considering I’m writing a fix-it for a series I stopped watching in 1995, probably…
None of my regular crew have been hating just to hate; their criticisms have been legitimate, even if my opinion was different (and sometimes I’ve agreed!). But, while I don’t understand it, there are those in fandom who do hate on things just for the sake of doing so. Don’t let them get you down, either. It’s easy, especially if you have rejection-sensitive issues, but don’t feel like you have to let other people dictate your fandom experience.
Me, trying to get one more chapter of All for You done before the finale, accepting that I probably have one more left after that and won’t get that done before tomorrow…
(Rest assured, though, however AU this becomes after tomorrow, I’m definitely going to finish…and I’m hoping to have that chapter finished tonight, since that’s all my brain wants to do until the finale drops on DisneyNow anyway…)
