Annotated 4-11
Wait, it’s… going UP? Oh, right, that’s the other reason I named the pirate captain after Don Karnage! How could I have forgotten.
(Happy belated Talk Like a Pirate Day.)
And yes, this little experience was certainly on Syr’Nj and Frigg’s minds when they were responding to the sky elves in Essoasso, Qu’Alifornia or wherever it is. But one doesn’t show all one’s cards unless one has to.
It’s a shame, really. The Blue Rogues were just one cave over and that would’ve been a very different adventure with sky pirates.
I like this Don Carnage, but Jim Cummings’ original still holds a place in my heart.
The voice is all wrong. His original voice was magic and the character just isn’t Don Carnage without that.
agreed, he has to sound like Ricky Ricardo :D
They wanted an actual Hispanic to voice a (supposedly?) Hispanic character. Which makes sense, I guess.
My theory is that Talespin happened in the Ducktales’ version of the World War II era, and this Don Karnage is a descendent of the Jim Cummings-voiced original.
*plays The Highwind Takes to the Skies*
My first thought was of Spacebattleship Yamato. (StarBlazers for North America), where the titular spaceship bursts out of the rock and takes flight for the first time.
I demand it be Qu’Alifornia from now on! Now we just have to develop the levitation abilities that the sky elves have.
You know who’s most surprised by this? The barnacles.
must play whenever you have a flying ship.
Hydrogen only lifts 68 pounds per 1000 cubic feet. Ship must be made of balsa to get by with a balloon that small and even that’s probably not enough.
Are they using hot hydrogen maybe?
Given that it’s a pirate ship, yes, the hydrogen was probably stolen.
You’re presuming gravity’s not lighter on Arkerra.
I am even more ashamed I didn’t pick up on the Talespin reference.
Also, here’s another version of the video, since the above embed is no longer worked: link!
Thanks!
*is no longer working. You know what I mean.
I got the TaleSpin reference in the name, but the form of the airship (specifically the hodgepodge look of the gas bag) reminded me more of The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin.
