>>110070833Daisy is a tricky character to write, and I feel the crew is aware of that and this is why they haven't dared including her during the pilot seasons. She cannot be a smooth loving character like Minnie is to Mickey, there needs to be a bit of argument and squabbling in their relationship, or that just wouldn't be a Donald/Daisy couple.
Yet too often this squabbling is put to the extreme and Daisy is being depicted as straight out abusive to Donald. The old cartoons were the main culprits in creating that trope, Carl Barks's writing of her was notoriously terrible as shown on
>>110069840, and even Lot3C didn't really do a good job on the Daisy part.
I just hope the writers will put the balance well between likeability and argumentativeness. Ditch the abuse, give a good and believable reason for the arguments to happen, and have those arguments be a catalyst for making their relationship stronger by helping each other better themselves. The Donald and Della interaction in the finale is actually a good template for what a Donald/Daisy argument should look like, but with a romantic bond rather than a sibling bond
inb4 why not both.
I'm also worried that the writers have made Donald too smooth and flawless to make an argument work well in Daisy's favour. If he was more of his lazy short tempered inconsiderate self like in the comics there could be ground for Daisy to be right in starting an argument and give a chance for Donald to improve. But there, starting an argument with Donald, considering how selfless he is, would come out as unfair to Donald, which is exactly the trap Lot3C fell into.
Finally, the arguments and squabbles should come just as much from Donald as from Daisy. It's not fun to watch a couple where one part lashes out on the other all the time for no reason. The argument needs to be deserved and come from one part being slightly shitty to the other, and the other feeling genuinely hurt.
