Not surprising but kinda sucks. I feel like the show got a lot of hate on here but I thought it was a fun, mindless show to watch. I wonder how much Emilio's exit affected it's fate.
I’ll admit, I didn’t watch the second season. Really liked the first one but realized without the Bombay character I wasn’t invested enough for another season.
It was the perfect timing for the show in every way. Bombay was still looking young enough. The orginal ducks as well. The people who grew with the movies could still find their inner child and /or show it to their kids. Even nhl and ea sports was helping out with the mighty ducks theme . In 5 years the ducks are like 50.
They killed the best kids/sports movies ip in history with one of the worst seasons I have ever seen of a tv show. It was so easy with the source material to make it okey at least. What a complete fiasco. This is the rings of power level of fiasco. This was disneys most obvious and needed succes for their stale empty streaming service.
As a hockey player from Minnesota, the only reason I was into the show was for the nostalgia. Bombay in season 1 filled that while having a bit of fun with the new batch of Ducks.
And of course, the big episodes where some of the OG Ducks returned.
S2 had a 20 cameo from Portman and Fulton. Alex being a helicopter mom, dumb teenage angst/romance plots, etc.
Don't think it was good enough to get younger viewers and not enough nostalgia to keep the older viewers.
The show in the 2nd season was an unmitigated disaster. Alex trying her same "don't take Hockey seriously" mantra while at an elite hockey camp showed how clueless the writers were. Emilio was the glue keeping the show together, replacing him with Josh Duhamel was never going to work. Disappointed with what the show could have been but also can't imagine the even worse levels of bad the show would have reached so glad it's finished.
Yeah, Alex was the worst aspect of it. Like seriously, it's a hockey camp where kids PAY to go and better their chances of getting into the big leagues, not a summer camp like she kept on crying about. It was a huge disservice to all the kids there who were putting their all into the sport they love and honestly talked down to the audience on an insulting level.
Pretty simple. No Bombay, no show. But then again Disney+ has been swinging and missing hard on properties not related to Star Wars or Marvel to be fair.
There was so much potential but the writing wasn’t good... also, they should’ve utilized the old Ducks more in the storyline - idk how but I think if Bombay and Charlie were both in season 2, it would’ve probably saved it
Besides Percy Jackson and the Olympians, that will arrive early 2024 if we fell optimistic and may have some chances of becoming a megahit. What do they have in the TV show department that is not Marvel or Star Wars related?
They axed everything.And I feel like the people is getting tired of their two overused aces. They are in trouble.
I was just about to start watching the second season but I doubt I will now. I wasn’t that excited about it after I found out Emilio wasn’t gonna be back.
Not sad at all when season 2 was a dumpster fire and made so little sense that anyone who has even the slightest enjoyment for hockey saw that this was not a viable show. It's why when it comes to hockey shows, my go to is Shoresy, because that knows and understand hockey fans while also being good enough to appeal to non fans as well.

Yeah my husband and I were not motivated to watch without Bombay... but we watched the second season and it did suck
They really should have bought back Joshua Jackson
Yeah if Bombay and Charlie had reunited, the series would’ve lasted at least 5 seasons I think
3-4 I reckon if they bought Charlie right into Season 1
maybe they can do it well down the line
I doubt that. This IP is dead.

Stick with Karate Kid/Cobra Kai
At least they made 1 great and 3 really good seasons of that. Even season 5 was easily better than season 1 of game changers
Huh? Every season of Cobra Kai is great. It's not one of the biggest netflix shows for nothing.
Don't forget YouTube red cancelled which gave Netflix the opportunity.
Now if Netflix got hold of this and made it more adult I would watch it.
It would be nice to see how OG ducks adult life is like
Sad news indeed. I'll have to go back to re-watching the movies a few times each year again and maybe tuning into the podcast every now and then.
what podcast is that?
Quack Attack. You should check it out. They occasionally have interesting guests like the writer - Steve Brill.
That pod is still going, how they’ve managed to wring the living shit out those movies for 348 episodes is beyond me.
awesome! I will!

Lack of Emilio wasn’t the issue. The issue is their main cast of kids we’re terribly written.
the adults were written badly too.
Yes…the point is that Emilio cannot magically fix bad writing. S1 was bad too.
That's what you get. No Bombay no ducks. We have the power.
After season 2 not surprised. Think the show had promise but they didn't handle things well in season 2 at all.
I knew Big Shot was gonna be Cancelled because they Dropped All of the Episodes at the same time. So this was a little Surprise.
Sucks to see the Show Go, I liked the Cast. I wanted atleast one more season.
That’s too bad but I’m not surprised

Sad. But, now that I'm thinking

Hopefully it gets a reboot treatment in a few years.
Sucks that Big Shot got cancelled too, as season 1 was enjoyable. Season 2 was just as shit though.
In my mind I am telling myself they are just taking the year off to find better writers and teach the kids some hockey skills.
I was just about to start watching the second season but I doubt I will now. I wasn’t that excited about it after I found out Emilio wasn’t gonna be back.
