I’m gonna post some comparisons here. The writer of the story is Finnish but he would have written the script in English. However, Uncle Scrooge magazine has rewritten the dialogue (as they do for most stories) so I’m pretty sure the Finnish version is closer to the original script. In any case, interesting comparison:
Direct translation of the Finnish version: “In a way I’m partly to blame for this catastrophe. Our war over my number one dime caused this whole mess.”
“The comet is difficult to spot and besides, it was supposed to pass Earth close by anyway.”
“Oh dear! (sniff) How could I be so stupid?”
So in conclusion, U$ Scrooge is a bigger asshole here.
And it’s not like Scrooge isn’t being, well Scrooge in this story, the Finnish version is just a way more balanced person and I prefer it here a lot. I’m not 100% certain who is to blame here but since Korhonen considers Scrooge to be genuinely nice and just misunderstood, and ‘greedy maybe, but never mean-spirited’ well…
So the other thing I noticed in DuckTales the Movie is Scrooge’s cane.
What exactly is up with Scrooge’s cane? It’s crazy enough that he can pogo on it, but apparently it’s also completely unbreakable despite being a thin piece of wood. Check this out:
BENT BUT NOT BROKEN. That’s a big, thick metal door against what looks like a brick wall, AND SCROOGE BROKE IT OPEN WITH HIS WOODEN CANE.

FUN FACT, IT’S HOLLOW.

The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library
In December of 2011 Fantagraphics released Lost in the Andes the 7th volume in The Complete Carl Barks’ Library. Carl Barks is fondly remembered as “The Good Duck Artist.” He is the creator of Duckburg, Scrooge McDuck, Gladstone Gander, the Beagle Boys, Flintheart Glomgold, and many other elements of the Disney Duck comics. In 1987 Barks was inducted into…
I am a short tempered person, so drawing a character with almost the same personality can help. I was suppose to draw Donald, but I love Uncle Scrooge and this is the first time I’d drew him wearing his Ducktales 2017 reboot design! Great, I need to draw more ducks. ;____;
