Okay so is nobody gonna talk about how Huey literally had an erratic panic attack when his mask fogged up in the dark water?
He’s hyperventilating, and is unable to even effectively cry out for shortness of breath. He’s clawing at his mask and thrashing about. What a heart-wrenching moment for me, his mother!!!
This actually plays into his fear of the unknown, which was covered in Terror of the Terra-firmians! all those eons ago in Season 1, episode 5.
I think we all know with certainty that Huey loses a good deal of courage the closer his visibility gets to 0.
“At least I’ll know what’s crushing me!”
I have so much respect for the Ducktales team and their continuity. Honestly. Huey has this fear, not of the dark, but of not being able to see in a tough or dangerous situation. It’s such a specific trait, and they kept it going. I love it I love him my SON.
