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?

Scrooge is sometimes portrayed as kinda bad even for the heroes, but mostly good. The rest of the family usually plays a role of softening him and pressuring him toward being more kind. Sometimes, Scrooge is wrong, and his selfishness gets them into some heat. Other times, he's proven right, as his experience with money keeps them from getting scammed.
