I get why they went with the 40s outfit, it is the most known outside Brazil.

I meant his posture. Jose seemed more lively in other incarnations. He's too prim and proper here.
As far as voices go I would probably rank Oliviera then Bauza before De Paula. But I haven't really heard enough of him yet.
Reminder that a new episode airs tomorrow morning, bright and early.

After his disappearance, Glomgold resurfaces as anything but his ever-scheming self, while Webby and Louie try to uncover the truth behind who is Duke Baloney.
A brief promo was uploaded to youtube:

was kind of a sad episode on one end since he's been living his life just to get back at scrooge but was happy when that part of his character was removed, almost wanted him to live out the rest of his days there as duke baloney.
In the season finale Glomgold wins the bet, realizes he's only satisfied when chasing after Scrooge, and lets him win back his fortune Emperor Doom-style.
Ah, Flinty. Too obsessed to ever really be happy. Nice to see him get some respect for at least a little while, though. The Beagle Boys work as perennial joke characters, but Glomgold needs some genuine menace once in a while.
So I guess we're just adapting the NES game this season, huh.

Not yet. Just that he's coming.
Yup. If that's not the finale, then it's at least a factor. Or a mid-season finale.
Here's a synopsis update for Season 2 episode 6, "Last Christmas!", now airing on the first of December rather than the previously stated November 30th, back on Saturday where it belongs. Also two more screenshots:
Saturday, Dec. 1
DuckTales "Last Christmas!"
Episode seems a tad "Allonsy!" with a dash of "This is heavy, Doc!", if you know what I mean.

DuckTales "Last Christmas!"
In a nod to "Mickey's Christmas Carol," Scrooge avoids the pressures of the holidays by traveling back in time with a trio of fun-loving ghosts to crash history's greatest Christmas parties instead. Meanwhile, time-lost Dewey teams up with young Donald Duck to find his mom on Christmas.

Glad they were able to work in Glomgold being South African like in the comics. The shoe-shining origin isn't from the comics, to be clear, but it makes sense now that it's been established that Scrooge has an extended life. Though I suppose the fake beard means Glomgold isn't actually all that old.
This was a nice episode, and it was a shame to see Glomgold lose his happiness once he regained his memory.
I do think they've been overplaying his clumsiness and such, as amusing as it's been. Like Sciz mentioned, though it doesn't look like he was making the point with this episode, I prefer Glomgold with some menace to him sometimes. Right now the only villain like that in the entire show is Magica (oddly in contrast to how Glomgold and Magica are usually positioned).

Where is my mom ?
Not behind this door
Who is behind this door ?
Nobody important
Blimey that's amazing ! In all my woodchuck adventures I never meet anyone who wasn't important before!
Friendly, early and probably unnecessary reminder that a new episode airs tomorrow morning:

DuckTales "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!"
(7:30 – 8:00 A.M. EST)
Donald reunites with his band, The Three Caballeros, while the family takes in the sites of a Brazilian town with a dark secret.

Wow. That wasn't very good. Why are they such jerks in this version!? Donald being the most grounded one seems so out of place. It's like they flipped the house of mouse episode in terms of characterization. Also Jose seems weirdly abusive towards Donald?

Just being true to their original characterizations?
To be honest, they were really only jerks during one very specific segment, when it seemed like their chance to turn their apparently boring old lives around was going to be lost because the duck wasn't on the same page anymore. They came around quick and banded together (literally) when a bigger threat revealed itself though.
Dance and music routine was pretty fantastic.
Laughing the entire time about the cell phone pics. Pics or it didnt happen especially.

Edit:
I guess I'm trying to articulate why it felt so off. There were very few genuine interactions in the episode. It was either Jose and Panchito obsessing about their ego (when it's usually Donald who does that sort of thing like in the House of Mouse episode), some sort of put down of Donald, or lying. They felt fake I guess? And at least one of those smacks from Jose looked not at all playful and kind of abusive. Donald definitely seemed like the third wheel of the band (they clearly cringed every time he sung), so it came off as a sort of "I'm trying to be one of the cool kids" vibe which just made the put downs seems even more sad.
Just makes me appreciate the Legend version more I guess.

The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!
Honestly, wasn't a huge fan of this episode. Jose and Panchito didn't get too much characterization, Dewey and Louie were really annoying, and the animation felt like it was lacking energy when that's what defines the Caballeros. The song should have been a big showcase, but it was oddly restrained. Plus, it's a "liar revealed" story, which usually isn't fun.
Jose and Panchito didn't really feel like they had individual qualities, just both being "more successful than Donald". Dewey and Louie's selfie obsession didn't seem right, especially when Dewey really wanted to go on a big adventure just two episodes ago.
Favorite part was Scrooge and Donald discreetly fighting over the wallet until Huey bit Scrooge.

So, after watching and really enoying the first block of season 1 episodes (up to episode 9), I'm ashamed to say that I've only just discovered that they continued with new episodes after a bit of a hiatus - and now we have season 2. I've definitely got some catching up to do.... which I'm very much looking forward to!
If you don't have a cable subscription than the only legal way to watch is to buy them off iTunes/Google Play/Youtube/etc.
non-legally you're on your own unfortunately
Running-a-little-late reminder that a new episode premieres tomorrow morning.

Oh right, those Greek ducks birds. Forgot about that.
I didn't care for Storkules's introduction episode, so I'm not sure I'll like this one much.

Roommate rules kept making me LOL, but the funniest part was in the beginning when Scrooge was LOL at the request for money, I was LOLOLOLOL had to pause cause it was just so outlandishly funny.
Yep.
Yeah, it took me a while to realize it was back too when it first came back.
Storkules in Duckburg!
Yeah, I think this settles it. I straight up don't like the nephews in this show. They have some nice gags, but I can't recall the last time I liked them as characters in an episode. The show would be improved if Webby was the only recurring child character.
Storkules was more fun here than I remember him being in his last episode, and I liked the harpies, though it was weird that they weren't sapient.
Good episode, but it was brought down by Louie being insufferable.

Co-Signed. I really wish Webby was the main character on this show.
I do not enjoy the new show much. It is trying too hard. The old one was just mystry solving show. Loved that plus It was simple
^ I wonder when the Lena subplot will pick up again.
...
Solicits for the month of December went up a few days ago but there's nothing listed for Ducktales beyond "Last Christmas!" so it seems we'll be on hiatus for the foreseeable future. However, the press release only lists premieres for Disney Channel shows up to December 9th then cuts off so perhaps it's just a partial list and another will be issued at a later date?

Halloween had an episode but thanksgiving didnt? sad as there is nothing on tv today. I need my huey dewey and louie.
The only show I can think of that consistently has Thanksgiving-themed episodes is Bob's Burgers.
