Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Scrooge McDuck originally portrayed as the epitome of greed and heartlessness in the Disney version of A Christmas Carol? And now he’s some good guy? Get the fuck outta here. Also he has a coin vault he swims in daily. Now what the fuck is that all about?

      I love venture brothers too, so from me, high praise! I just like how they take it seriously while being weird and funny. Scrooge is called an “Adventure Capitalist” in the show, and he sustains his wealth through doing adventures and being a miser. He is also impossibly old, and its justified in world because he has been in contact with so many ancient and magical artifacts. It has some really great plots and arcs. The nephews are each their own unique person, with different goals, quirks, fears and hangups. The characters grow and evolve over the show, nothing is static. Plus, the kids love it!
