Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Mighty Ducks animated series was, to put it gently, rather a surprise for viewers expecting a comedy series about misfit kids playing hockey. This animated series lasted from September, 1996 to January, 1997 on ABC (during their transition to Disney ownership — the season after this brought in One Saturday Morning), and also aired in syndication (as part of the remnants of what was The Disney Afternoon).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It was instead about a team of anthropomorphic duck superheroes descended from alien dinosaurs who fight aliens with hockey-themed gadgets. Oh, and somewhere in space there were two dinosaur-derived races: the race descended from Ceratopsians, led by Lord Dragaunus, were evil and the Therapod (more specifically, duck) descended race was good. By an incredible coincidence, the Ducks' entire culture was based upon hockey.When the Ducks pursue Lord Dragaunus to Earth (more specifically Anaheim, Southern California), the Ducks form an NHL team where they can hide in plain sight. Their arena, known only as "The Pond," has a hockey rink that doubles as a landing pad for the Aerowing above and has an HQ below. The Ducks and Dragaunus continue their fight, although there are other villains that sometimes challenge the Ducks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Compare Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dinosaucers.Despite being ducks created by Disney, they are not part of the Disney Duck Canon. One would be intrigued to see Scrooge's reaction to these guys... | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_1e7487cd | comment |
A more distinct example occurred in the episode "The Human Factor", when damage to the Mask forced the Ducks to rely on more conventional detective work to investigate odd events in a small town when the Mask would have quickly revealed that everyone in that town had been replaced by robots; when Wildwing observed at the end that recent events would have been easier with the Mask, Tanya noted that it would have made for a much shorter episode. | |

Toothy Bird: It's not that noticeable, but it briefly shows up on a few episodes. Dungeons and Ducks, however, goes totally nuts with it; throughout the episode, many characters' facial expressions pretty much explode, giving us more than a couple clear views at the Ducks' teeth. | |

The Lancer: Two of them. Duke was not a hero or a solider but a thief pre-series. This sets quite a contrast to the noble Wildwing, who was a civilian. Nosedive is Wildwing's little brother, and so the contrast between them is also played up. On the ice, he is also better at scoring while his brother is the goalie. | |

The Mighty Ducks / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Puckworld's entire culture is based around hockey, if it wasn't obvious from the name. Though the Ducks don't have much trouble fitting in on Earth after a while. Just in case any of the viewers missed it from the premise and name, there is a field of puck-shaped asteroids near it, along with a nebula shaped like a hockey mask. Apparently it is in our universe too; one episode has the Ducks captured to participate in an intergalactic bloodsport version of hockey. | |

The Mighty Ducks / int_705d9b89 | comment |
Toyless Toyline Character: Here's another cartoon that was affected by The Smurfette Principle. There were 5 lines of action figures. How many lines did Mallory make it into? Just two. Also, her action figures are extremely rare. Why? There was only one of her per case. And Tanya? She never had an action figure at all, although Mattel did make her as part of a line of small, non-articulated figures. In a case that doesn't involve the principle, Canard and Wraith were never made into action figures either. | |

Adaptational Badass: Wildwing was based on the actual NHL team's costumed mascot Wild Wing. Wildwing (the cartoon character) was the badass leader of the squad; Wild Wing (the mascot) was best known at that point for failing to clear a fire pit in a pre-game jump, and for being featured on a notoriously short-lived alternate jersey. | |

Left Hanging: They set things up so another season was possible (Nosedive even breaks the fourth wall about it).

Everything Sensor: The Mask of Drake Ducaine is an example of this; as well as being the sign of leadership, the Mask is also the only way to see through the personal shields of the Saurian Empire, as well as acting as a 'conventional' X-ray machine and able to see through other disguises. Quite a few plots rely on the Mask being the only way to see through certain disguises or deceptions, with one episode involving the Mask being damaged early on solely so that the subsequent plot would take longer (as the Mask would have quickly revealed that the town the Ducks were visiting was populated entirely by robots rather than people as part of a complex trap). | |

Hard Head | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_e280b250 | comment |
Hard Head: Nosedive in "Phil in the Blank." Guy gets a concussion but wakes up and proceeds to drive to the rocket and then later jumps out of it to land in Wildwing's borrowed jet, all with no side effects. Though he is an alien from another planet; that may be a factor. | |

We Need a Distraction | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_e43b42ea | comment |
We Need a Distraction: This is one of the Saurians' primary tactics, keeping the ducks busy while they are working on a scheme (commonly involving recharging the Raptor). Despite this, the ducks still manage to foil them. | |

The Mighty Ducks / int_e462893a | comment |
Artistic License – Sports: Although hockey is accurately portrayed, the Ducks don't respect a few prerequisites for a team... Almost Lampshaded in an episode when Wildwing temporarily leaves the team, and their manager hires a professional hockey player in a mascot costume. | |

Talking the Monster to Death: In Power Play Grin resolves to see the best in the transformed Monster of the Week and seeks to reach out to him against all reason aside the fact that the ducks couldn't match him physically. | |

The Team | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The Team: In this case, a six-anthropomorphic duck hockey team. The Leader: Wildwing is the team leader both in the hockey team and the superhero team, "Team Captain". The Lancer: Two of them. Duke was not a hero or a solider but a thief pre-series. This sets quite a contrast to the noble Wildwing, who was a civilian. Nosedive is Wildwing's little brother, and so the contrast between them is also played up. On the ice, he is also better at scoring while his brother is the goalie. The Smart Guy: Tanya maintains all their gear and innovates new stuff. The Big Guy: Two of them. Grin is the biggest, tallest and broadest of the ducks. Unlike the rest of the team, Mallory was actually part of Puckworld's military and well-versed in bot hand-to-hand and puckblasters. | |

The Mighty Ducks / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Phil Palmfeather, the Ducks' money-grubbing manager. Not the worst guy in the world, mind. He also has terrible fashion sense. Captain Klegghorn is a much straighter example. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Mainly for the benefit of the Ducks, as damage inflicted on the Raptor early in the series leaves Dragaunus forced to focus more effort on finding a new source of power for his ship than actually conquering the planet. A more distinct example occurred in the episode "The Human Factor", when damage to the Mask forced the Ducks to rely on more conventional detective work to investigate odd events in a small town when the Mask would have quickly revealed that everyone in that town had been replaced by robots; when Wildwing observed at the end that recent events would have been easier with the Mask, Tanya noted that it would have made for a much shorter episode. | |

Weapon of Choice | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_f6ec1b9 | comment |
Weapon of Choice: Each Duck (and each of the villains) has their own personal weapon. Wildwing has his explosive puck launcher (essentially a grenade launcher,) Duke l'Orange uses a laser sword, Tanya has various gadgets on her wrist device including a small chainsaw, Grin fights with his fists, and the rest of the ducks mostly use pistols. As for the villains, Dragaunus prefers his gauntlet-mounted blaster, Wraith has a Flaming Sword in the pilot and uses various Functional Magic, shapeshifter Chameleon likes to use Voluntary Shapeshifting and Siege likes the heavy weapons. | |

Theme Naming | |
The Mighty Ducks / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The ducks are, of course, named after birds and duck related foods. The most obvious being Duke's name. Which is, of course a pun on the dish "Duck à l'Orange." | |
