Donald Duck
Donald Duck is a character created by Walt Disney, making his screen debut in the Silly Symphony short The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934. Along with his semi-unintelligible voice (as famously created by his original voice actor, Clarence "Ducky" Nash), Donald’s most dominant trait is his fiery temper, which is predominantly expressed through explosive tantrums and fits of quacking and squawking. Much of Donald’s anger stems from his exceptionally bad luck, though his misfortunes are often the karmic result of his own arrogance and greed.
Quickly becoming one of Disney's signature characters, Donald has gone on to star in his own theatrical shorts series, comic book universe, television shows, films, and everything else imaginable. Having starred in over 190 films, Donald has appeared in more theatrical films than any other Disney character. Several of his cartoons have been honored by the Academy Awards, while other notable accolades include a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Part of Donald's widespread popularity can be attributed to his long-running comic book series under the supervision of such renowned artists as Ted Osborne, Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks, and Don Rosa.
Despite all of this, he's somehow still with that bitch Daisy.
Tournament History[edit]
Perhaps intentionally or coincidentally, Donald's trademark bad luck seems to extend into his Mr. /co/lympus runs. Despite being considered a strong contender with a consistently strong fandom that is a frequent part of the tournament discussion, he has never made it past the 4th round. Beating Donald is a sign of a strong contender; only one character who has beat Donald hasn't made it to the elite 8 (missing out by one vote), and one went on to win the tournament. As such, he has qualified for every tournament so far, and many feel he'll eventually make a strong run deep into the bracket. His farthest run in any tournament was a 2nd place finish pairing with Daffy Duck in the Tag-Team Tournament 2019.
During the tournament, he is closely associated with José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles, his companions in The Three Caballeros franchise who campaign with him, with his uncle Scrooge McDuck, and with Looney Tunes rival Daffy Duck, whom with the Duck Match remained an elusive potential meetup until it finally happened in Mr. /co/lympus 2022.
Donald's 2023 appearance saw his usual support from Disney Duck fans, who would help him to victory against Fred Jones and in a round 2 matchup against Batman, in which Donald would assume his Duck Avenger comic persona against the caped crusader. In round 3 he faced off against Hank Hill, however Donald had his dick broken by Hank after he confused it for a corkscrew and was defeated. Coincidentally, his uncle Scrooge would lose the following round to Hank's friend Dale Gribble.
2024 solidified Donald's signature bad luck within the tournaments, as like in 2022 he fittingly was branded yet again with the 13th seed and continued his tradition of being defeated in the middle rounds exclusively by characters who would go on to make Elite Eight, this time to fellow sailorman Popeye. While fans of other vocal characters around this time expressed disappointment in their losses, Duckfags were noted to have long since accepted their suffering to the point it had no longer phased them.
