I was rewatching Monday’s episode and had some things to say.
Can we please talk about this silly line from episode 13?
Okay, so some months ago, some people of Ducktales crew reveal a little clue from Season 3 finale using the “Wash your hands!” example.
(Thanks to @katlyn310 for the screenshot; I was losing my head because I couldn't find it.)
So, they discuss the possibility of something simple that in the beginning will not make sense, could be in the end the solution to saves the day.
What if the Junior Woodchuck Guide Book is the ”something simple”?!
Canon mandos making accommodations for all types of people and individual needs to continue to be part of the group?👌👌👌 (and show production including special needs individuals in filming?!)

Dewey’s “What the fuuuuuuuck?” face gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣
I wish playing Baccarat Chemin De Fer was like this. XD
it’s very interesting to me that even in billys peak years mingling in teams during postcrisis he doesn’t necessarily have much strong reoccurring bonds with characters outside fawcett. like aside from the trinity who do crop up once in a while - not often bruce and diana even less - I think a lot of writing back then unconsciously or consciously wrote him out to be The Outlier in whatever team he’d be in. jla was that culmination of him being team friendly, where everybody listened to him but only because he brought things to the table that were clearly different from what others were experiencing. and jsa was a step deeper and further at the same time bc of courtney and adam’s role in the team. he was the one set aside there too, something clearly temporary like a bodyguard/limited time role, and even the courtney arc didn’t ground him like how that normally would for a char. jli, like the og jli, he was … well if we took that spot for him seriously he also wasn’t ever fully dissolved into that team either, seemingly of his own rejection of assimilating.
cap marvel was in every event and crisis. everybody knows him, likes him. he’s been on nearly every team. it’s just very noticeable and telling to me that after all this, ALL of it, there’s no ties that bind him to really any dc char as strongly as many established characters have with each other a la teen titans or trinity or even just basic “x hero is known to be best friends/relies on with y hero for a period in their comic history”. I don’t think i can name even one outstanding, consistent relationship like that? and obvs aside from clark bc dc’s inevitable comparison games w them complicates how organic their bond can get to me. just. ok. even if cap marvel has his family freddy for most of his appearances in postcrisis was actively establishing his own existence as an individual hero in other teams and outside of their own comics you never saw mary and billy teaming up during many crises. in this case and maybe all of it is a writing gap at best.
but altogether the full read is just. cap marvel/billy is meant to be unable to really connect fully with other people on this plane, possibly because he’s been relegated to this “bridge between worlds” role which also means he’s 50% here and 50% gone, which notoriously is a bad sign for fully integrating into a single world. rmr in kingdom come when supes said “More than anyone who ever existed, you know what it’s like to live in both worlds.” @ billy? i feel that comes at the cost of being able to connect with anyone fully and wholly then, in either of his forms. which hurts im sure, since connections are all he ever wants. he’ll just never get it the way he imagines.
The Marvel UK continuity's character bios for Optimus Prime reveal he wanted to be a doctor. It's tragic.
disconnect that wire!

G1 Transformers becomes a lot more unsettling to watch when you take into consideration that all the animation errors are canon.
