DuckTales (TV Series) The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest! (2017) User Reviews

So subversive

[ericstevenson · 10/10 · 5 December 2017]

In order for me to explain how great this episode is, I'm really going to have to say the whole plot. It features Scrooge and his nephews going to climb Mount Neverrest. Okay, kind of a lame pun, but it's still a great episode. What I love about it is how I simply could not predict what was going to happen next. At one point, Hewey says that he's going to put his foot down. I felt for sure that meant he was going to literally put his foot down and cause an avalanche, but it didn't happen. Also, you'd think they'd do the easy thing and simply be able to climb the mountain. No, instead we great moral about how we shouldn't do things if they're dangerous.

That really is a unique moral for this episode and very well written. What I also love are all the twists. The first main one is that they're talking about how this other guy came the closest to climbing the mountain but was weighed down by this one guy. It turns out that guy (duck?) was none other than Scrooge! Even though he doesn't climb the mountain, he still mostly wins because he still got further than any other person (or once again duck) ever has. They keep appearing in the same place over and over again and the easy answer is that they're bad navigators. Instead, there really are portals that teleport everyone away. Dang, I love this show! ****

A bit slow and boring. But it's still watchable.

One paragraph plot summary : As usual, Scrooge McDuck, Webby, Lauchpad and the triplets are going on an adventure again. This time, it's a climb on a mountain known as Neverrest, the highest mountain in the world. Before they climb the mountain, because of the fact that there's no treasure on the mountain, one of them dropped out. During climbing, they all discover about this mountain and McDuck's connection. Meanwhile, Launchpad is experiencing cold fever and fighting hardly for it. When they nearly reached to the top, they discover the unusual thing of this mountain. In the end, they had to go down the mountain because of an accident.

This episode 9 seemed to be interesting, but I found that it's a bit boring. When I watched this one, I was nearly feeling sleepy. And so, I was impatiently waiting for some miracle to happen. Thank Buddha that there was some good thing. That thing saved me from falling asleep. If they could do it less boring, it'd be better.

All in all, although it's kind of boring, it's still watchable. I just hope that the next DuckTales episodes will be better than this.
