Dark Qiviut

Sure, Launchpad's pretty stupid, but at least he knows how to fly a plane and work with the flight basics. In The Golden Armory of Cornelious Coot, his stupidity's completely flanderized, turning his lack of IQ into extreme negligence.

1. Going from superglue into gum to repair the plane, which would put him and Della in massive danger!
2. Completely forgetting that Della has an important assignment to commemorate Cornelius Coot.
3. Driving her crazy to the point that she had to yell at him to shut up. (I commend her for apologizing to him for that, but he really needed to shut up, listen, and behave.)
4. Admitting that he turns his chair around to warn others that he's about to crash.
5. Intentionally nose-diving the plane into the ground. Seriously, WTF?

Of the appearances he's had that I watched, this is easily his worst and most annoying.

And the envy Webby had over Della didn't feel built up at all. It came out of nowhere during the second act and didn't feel realized.

DuckTales has had its great episodes this season, but there will be clunkers. Thanks to an annoying and negligent Launchpad, lack of chemistry between him and Della, and poor pacing, this is one such episode.

Grade: C-
