My Reasons:
1. Wouldn’t it be so cool to be a vigilante? You’d get to make your own hours, be the boss, no paperwork, be famous, wear neat clothes, have a fan club and have a secret identity. Darkwing is a really great vigilante. Superman is like, superhuman, but Darkwing is just an average guy who sees a problem that he feels the police aren’t fixing.
2. Since Darkwing is an average person, he has his downsides. But he battles those downsides, and wins in spite of them.
3. Darkwing is almost always optimistic. He won’t let anything get him down. He just keeps on trying. This is an important trait that I think more people need.
4. Darkwing cares. Sure, he’s out for glory, but I think he’d have shucked the whole thing without Gosalyn. The glory is an extra, he defends the city because his daughter is in it
5. He has good taste. Purple is a good color, and he wears colors that don’t clash.
6. NEAT GADGETS! I WANT A THUNDERQUACK!
7. Drake is almost as mysterious as Darkwing. Where’d he come from? Mystery is what makes a story interesting, and a really good mystery doesn’t need the characters to mention it, which they don’t, in this case, but we all wonder.
8. Endless fan fic opportunities!
9. Interesting villains.
10. It’s always a surprising and funny show, without having to advertise it.
ZQF Says:
Hmm..I have too many reasons! But to name a few...
1. Darkwing provides a different alternative to the hero type norm. He has many faults, all exposed at times, but he always prevails, as what is meant to be.
2. Darkwing is believable! I can believe the characters in this show than other shows with 'real' people! DW and clan are believable and relatable characters, and I believe that the show correcttly portrays everyday life...for a superhero, that is. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :-D
3. WELL, LOOK AT DARKWING DUCK! He's great! A great drawing subject,and the characters on the show are visually pleasing and funny without being annoying...AND BEING FUNNY WHILE NEVER GETTING ANNOYING IS *very* FORMIDABLE FOR A CARTOON SHOW!
4. We are endeared to the characters...umm...we like them, and feel sorry for them, and sad, and happy whatever circumstance. We cheer for our heroes, and boo the enemies...well, most of the time!
5. THE ENEMIES ARE GREAT ENEMIES! The greatest enemy is often one who is the most persuasive and appealing in the beginning. Because then you know that they have true power. Speaking of the enemies, they have neato powers! Not the everyday run-of-the-mill sort of boom smash stuff, but interesting, intelligent, and well thought out characteristics and qualities.
6. urr...am I on #6? anyway, the talents of the people on the show just rock!! The voice artists bring life to images and make us a sucker to the characters' wills! The animation is most always good, storylines never excessively clichéd(and if they are, they always have an original plot twist somewhere along the line) and character development is outstanding...not too shabby for a 'kid's' cartoon.
7. DW APPEALS TO ADULTS AS WELL AS KIDS!! Well, look at over half the people on the board! They have good sensibilities, because they like DW. :-)
8. Basically, DW is quirky, fun, imaginative and was a great start out to the 90's. Merchandise was cool, while it lasted. And every time a kid'll see DW, they'll always have a part of the show ingrained in their imagination.
9. Okay, just a little more!! DW has many educational stories, and countless vocab. words for kids and adults alike! Notorious, nefarious, fiduciary, mundane, monotonous, bourgeois(I think that's how it's spelled:) those are pretty nice words for a 7 year old to have in their language!
sigh...so I guess, what I'm trying to say is...DW RULES! THE SHOW IS AN INTERESTING ONE WITH A HIGH EDUCATIONAL AND IMAGINATIVE PREMISE. Gee, I hope I haven't said too much!
A Scientific Analysis of Why YOU Should Watch Darkwing Duck
By Negasplatter
Why is Darkwing Duck such a good show? I'll tell you. First, let's look at evolution. There is a major conflict going on right now between the scientific community and religious fanatics everywhere. Was there ever any evolution? Of course there was. But God invented all the creatures at the same time, and what about Adam and Eve? Their parents weren't apes. Okay, so evolution didn't occur. But what about all the fossil records? We've got clear proof they DID evolve. I know what you're thinking: what does this have to do with Darkwing Duck? Two things. One, you can't rely on science all the time and two, people are just stuffed full of misinformation. Of everything humans say, on average, five to ten percent is true. Okay, back to the first point. If they were to do a survey on who watched Darkwing Duck, the results wouldn't get them anywhere. Maybe a quarter of the people watching watch it because it's on, some because it's okay, some like the show, and some love it. Okay, so you get them to tick off the box that applies to them. But where does it end? I LIVE for Darkwing Duck? I would DIE for Darkwing Duck? I wish I could be with Darkwing Duck? I wish I WAS Darkwing Duck? There's no way to rate that sort of interest. So now we know science doesn't prove anything. Secondly, people are stupid, ignorant creatures that just repeat what they were told. Two plus two is four? Okay. Two plus two is four. But why isn't two plus two FIVE? Because I say so. Why don't this many little marks: IIII equal FIVE or SIX or TEN? Because someone said so. But this doesn't account for everything. If I went on national TV and said "Everyone should watch Darkwing Duck." then granted, half the people who
watched me would tune in to see what I was talking about, but the other half would blow me off as a looney. But then, when a 13 year old hognosed brat starts singing about "Skankweed Duck" suddenly everyone joins in. Why? Because homosapiens were programmed to be mean, selfish, and stupid. I'm a good example, except for the stupid part. But you're probably thinking about how stupid I sound. How DARE I insult the entire human race. Bet I wouldn't do that on national TV. Guess what? Bet I would. But no one asked me when the world was being created. Anyway, back to Darkwing. How many four-year-olds do you know that know the meanings of the words volatile, endeavor, or similitude? Not many. Unless they watch Darkwing Duck. How many cartoons contain drama, romance, comedy, and adventure with great voice artists, and amazingly unique characters? How many shows host a nutty villain with a spark plug on his head who goes around saving lightbulbs? As you can see, Darkwing Duck is THE best cartoon show I've ever seen. What about you? Convinced yet?
