Darkwing Duck - Der Schrecken der Bösewichte Fungus Amongus (1991–1992) watch online HD

'Darkwing Duck' has always been a show dear to my heart. One of those favourites from a young age that holds up really well, and is even more entertaining through adult eyes from appreciating the writing and stories even more.

Have been on a roll reviewing individual episodes for certain shows, animated, non-animated and of as many genres as possible (many as part of certain quests), and decided to do it with 'Darkwing Duck' and some others. Something that, as expected and hoped, has proven to be a more than worthwhile project and experience. "Fungus Amongus" is not quite one of the best episodes, but is still very enjoyable with more than enough to show what is so great about the show.

It will be admitted that the lack of Gossalyn, who adds a lot to the show, is a shame and the crime here is not one of the show's most inventive ones.

Morgana though is a good mix of sensual and sinister. Her chemistry with Darkwing is what drives the episode and is one of its most striking assets.

The animation is very colourful and atmospheric as always however. The music matches what is going on perfectly while it is impossible to forget one of the catchiest theme songs in animation.

Writing is witty, very funny without being too silly and thought-probing without being complicated. Things don't get too childish and it is all easy to follow. The story is compelling enough and lively in pace without being rushed, and executes a nice idea imaginatively without being too silly. Darkwing is an immensely likeable and fun title character and Launchpad never fails to bring a smile to my face. Gossalyn adds a lot of spunk and really spices things up even more, she is not a brat neither is she too overly-cute.

Jim Cummings fits Darkwing like a glove, it is always lovely to hear him in non-villain roles when he excels just as well in them. Terence McGovern is note-perfect for Launchpad. Kath Soucie, like Morgana, is suitably seductive and creepy.

Overall, very enjoyable. 8/10 Bethany Cox
