Webbigail "Webby" Vanderquack has perhaps the most drastic and successful glow-up of the entire cast. Gone is the sweet, quiet girl carrying a grappling hook. In her place is a socially awkward, highly trained agent of chaos raised in a mansion by a paranoid British butler.

Did Scrooge drive her away? The show takes its time unraveling this, weaving clues through seemingly silly adventures. When Della finally arrives in the Season One finale, "The Shadow War," it is not a twist; it is a cathartic climax that pays off 20+ episodes of careful breadcrumbing.

Why does the "2017" keyword matter? Because searching for DuckTales often brings up the original 1987 series or the 1990 movie (Treasure of the Lost Lamp). The 2017 version stands on its own shoulders. It respects the past—with constant Easter eggs, callbacks, and cameos (including the original Scrooge voice actor, the late Alan Young, via archival audio)—but it is not afraid to grow up.
