Hi, guys!

Imagine for a long time you believed in something only to learn on the very end that... you've been lied to for all that time! 😲 This is what happened to me yesterday when somebody on DA told me the truth behind DuckTales reboot's Don Karnage and it's not just a rumor but an actual confirmation from Frank Angones, the co-creator of DuckTales 2017 himself...

As you know, I'm kinda obsessed if about Don Karnage so I wouldn't be myself if I hadn't written this journal entry. I needed to make some research before writing it and this what we have for now. First, these Frank's tweets from March 8:

Pay attention on the sentence where he's talking about "covering Baloo’s disappearance, the fate of the original Don Karnage, and Shere Khan’s latest venture". See? Maybe Frank didn't say that directly but with this sentence he actually confirmed Don Karnage from TaleSpin and Don Karnage from DuckTales 2017 are... DIFFERENT CHARACTERS! 😱

Also, at Disney Wiki's on Fandom where we have Don Karnage, in his Trivia section we can read "According to Francisco Angones, Don Karnage in the DuckTales reboot is not the same Don Karnage, but someone who is taking on the legacy title" and I have no doubt it has been written after Frank's recent tweets about him. You can check that info here:

I believe Frank kept us waiting with these news almost 'til the end of the show (just yesterday [March 15] we've got the very last episode of the whole series) but that guy who told me about them, claims it's more like the creators didn't know from the beginning will Don Karnage be THAT Don Karnage or just his successor with the same name like it eventually turned out in this case.

Anyway, thanks to these revelations, some things in the series have been finally explained. 😉 For example, we could be concerned Don Karnage isn't older while Kit and Molly are already an adults. Now it makes sense as we know he's just the original Don Karnage's successor. Another thing is completely different crew of the Air Pirates we see in DT's reboot. Now such a things like Mad Dog or Dumptruck's absence are justified as it turned out even their boss himself is absent as well. XD Finally... Jim Cummings! 😉 I hope you, guys will feel a big relief when you realize he's actually never been replaced by anyone in the role of his character and instead of new voice of Don Karnage we just have a voice of a brand new character who's just a Don Karnage's namesake. XD

After such a hot news I felt destroyed from the inside like I've learned about secret I should never know about. 😵 I have mixed feelings. I feel a bit of relief 'cause it turned out Jim Cummings has never been replaced in the role of "his" Don Karnage and kinda disappointment 'cause eventually, the only TaleSpin characters who got their cameos in DuckTales 2017, are Kit and Molly and if we're a purists, not quite as we've actually got their adult versions. Sure, I realize while DuckTales is in modern times, TaleSpin has its action in... 30's of the 20th century but then Kit and Molly might as well very old or even dead. Not even to mention Baloo, Becky, Louie, the original Don Karnage, Shere Khan, etc. are dead for sure. XD Anyway, Kit and Molly are "only" an adults here instead.

Well, maybe it's even better Don Karnage didn't get his reboot yet. I personally prefer to get an actual reboot of TaleSpin instead of placing its characters into DuckTales's one. There's still some hope 'cause reboot of Darkwing Duck is already confirmed. Maybe some day TaleSpin will get its turn too... 🙂
