Wow..
These episodes just keep getting better and better!
With all the information I had from Frank, I thought this was going to be a typical wrestling episode
But oh boy was I wrong
This was way more than just wrestling
It actually teaches a very important lesson-
But anyways, let's start
[Check out the channel: Ducktales Channel before reading this chapter for no spoilers]

It's starts off by Scrooge saying that they're going to a place called Valhalla in which every 10 years the snake (and for some reason he has limbs) Jormungandr releases his tail from his mouth to fight the champion of Earth
In this case, Scrooge is that champion, and some day he wants to pass it down to Huey, Dewey, Louie or Webby someday because they are The new generation.
They shortly arrive to Valhalla, and soon realise that its no other than a wrestling ring. There are three rounds, whoever wins the most wins if team Norse win they destroy the Earth but if team Earth win they prevent team Norse from destroying the Earth

Scrooge, also known as the Millionaire Miser, has the first fight and he wins, but instead of getting cheered at he gets booed at which Dewey does not like at all
He tries to defend him but while he's doing that someone tries to throw a chair at him which Scrooge takes the hit for him, he states that they have to take over sooner than he thought which Dewey quietly panics in response

Meanwhile With Huey & Louie

Huey and Launchapad go to announce the fight, (just like in S1EP12) Huey thought that he knew everything about this but he stands corrected,  L.P. on the other hand announced everything like he saw it

Louie on the other hand was selling Merchandise on everything
Not surprised, No comment moving along

Dewey shortly becomes Champ Popular and thinks he's ready to take over Scrooge but Scrooge says that the crowd out there is pretty negative and doesn't think he handle it but quickly denies it and leaves to fight the second round

He starts off by trying to win the crowd over but fails again, and again
Webby gets in the ring to try to win the round but Dew doesn't even try to fight back and begins to take off
To make matters worse, they don't win the round Which means there's a tie
Which means there's a tag round
Huey on the other hand just understood the basics of wrestling but still doesn't understand the tag round and is now the L.P. of the situation which causes him to take off as well

Eventually Its time for the tag round but Scrooge searches for Dewey and gives him a talk about not being able to do the right thing and that its okay
Also he called reinforcements

Soon after that Dewey heads to the locker room and Huey came in soon after
He starts off by saying that he knows they're supposed to take over for Scrooge one day but complains that maybe they're not ready for it
That's until Louie comes in the room, and gives them a brotherly talk about confidence
For Huey it was about saying the first thing that comes out of his mouth and not caring what everyone thinks
And for Dewey

He just has to Dewey it

~Time Skip~

They beat the Norse team by some encouragement from the crowd, and Dewey wins the match

There goes my HEROOOO~~~~ {love that song btw}

Now...DISCUSSION TIME

To be honest, I feel like all of these episodes (Ep1-Ep7) have taught some valuable lessons
But out of all of them I think that Ep7 has been the one to stand out the most, and the most thoughtful one
Because of character development
This episode was about Dewey and how he needs to win a crowd over because he desperately wants their love, from anyone actually. He learns the hard truth that not everyone can like you, even if you beat a god. And he's okay with that
Scrooge developed as well. He knows Dewey much better and doesn't expect him to fight because of all the negativity KNOWING he can't handle it. Unlike, S1Ep12 The Missing Links of Mooshire,
Scrooge expects Dewey to Do it for the fate of the Earth, he doesn't question it at all
Lastly, Huey & Louie
Huey learned that he doesn't always know what's going on and can't handle everything every adventure gives him and he just learned that sometimes you don't have to know something to love it
Which was a little advice from Louie, which I think developed the most
He's given alot of advice in S3 so far (Huey,Dewey,Webby) he's grown to understand them more and what their advantages and disadvantages are

References:

The references in this episode wasn't just from this show, there was actually a Wander of Yonder reference!
When webby named her fists Lady Haymaker and her country cousin Duchess of Whaling Since Frank has worked on wander over yonder before, I think it was pretty cool to reference it like that
Next was Mrs. Beakly's outfit which was a tribute to DT1987'S Maid of the Myth!
I'm pretty sure these are all of the references in this episode


WOAH! This was a long chapter
I'm so glad I FINALLY finished it though
Thanks for tuning in, and as always
Work Smarter Not Harder 💙
