>>114721692You're too accustomed to Scrooge being an antagonistic shitty abusive crooky old guy, just like lotsa yuropoorians are accustomed to the idea of a Daisy Duck who must be some kind of insufferable harridan who should be replaced by a new waifu-replacement character.
Each incarnation has to fit its own canon, and be true to itself. Not to the other works, that inspired it.
As for Brigitta, I've never really cared about her, just like I've never really cared much about the comic-book versions of Scrooge.
The Italian scriptwriters tended to make Scrooge some kind of ungrateful unsympathetic bastard, who at the end of the stories where the Ducks did not get the treasure for whatever reason, always had him take out his anger on Donald, or chasing after Donald to beat him up, or blaming him for everything and adding all the expenses onto his already comically huge list of debts that Donald apparently amassed.
And normally, those stories are nice and entertaining, but the ending is then ruined by having Scrooge being such an insufferable and ungrateful arsehole.
And those stories of Scrooge did taint my experience of watching Ducktales, since I never really liked him as a character. It took me years to change that view until I watched other cartoons that featured Scrooge McDuck that had him as a more positive role model.
Of course, there are many good european Duckstories that do feature a nice or good Scrooge at the end. But there's no denial that there's also a shitton of fucking arsehole Scrooge who deserves losing all his money after he puts his nephews through a horribly dangerous adventure and then only pays them half a cent for a week's work, but charges them 100 dollars for food and water.
