This season is noticeably stronger than the first so far, and that still set a very high bar.

I'm not sure how the recent episodes are (8+) because I don't have a venue to watch them on, but my niece's complaint for the second season thus far is the dearth of Webby-centric episodes, because Webby is her favorite. I've only seen up to 7 but I'd have to agree up to that point. Have any of the newer episodes focused on Webby as heavily as, say, the ones from Season One with Lena?

One of them is Webby focused. And the one after it has a strong Webby presence as well, but not quite as strongly focused on her.
What I think elevates the episode from great to brilliant:
The slapstick comedy in Darkwing Duck was never meant to be anything more than that. There was never any intention of having a deeper meaning behind it.
But this episode interprets it as something inspiring, rather than just funny. It's a direction I never would have thought of to take the character in, but it makes perfect sense.
Now that Disney owns Marvel, they need to bring Howard into this universe.
Nah Disney is super weird about Howard. Even post buyout it took a long time to get a new book for him and hes still wearing pants
Howard was a regular in a Marvel Zombies series about a year after the buyout, so he kinda had a book then. And he's had a regular strong of comic series/appearances since the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
But yeah, no one's dared to mess with the pants issue.

So, you know how Duck Tales has a huge amount of respect for the original show but has massaged things to make it better?
They just did the same thing to Darkwing Duck. Hot buttered perfection.
And it stays true to an important tradition from the previous show:
Giving Darkwing and Negaduck a new origin story every season that contradicts all their previous ones.
I don't remember that aspect about the original, but I can believe it.
It's easy to miss because they only talk about it in the episodes
Negaduck was originally a result of weird split of DWs positive and negative traits caused by Megavolt. They fixed it but the writers wanted to bring him back so they made a mirror universe origin.
DW has 3 origins as well. One is a more traditional. Batmanesque traveled the world to learn things deal another one is a weird take on Superman ( and another negaduck origin) that most people assume is false because it was the ghost of Darkwing trying to impress future kids
His last one is he made up DW during Megavolt's origin story when his prom was attacked

Show creator Tad Stones loved taking the piss out of superhero tropes. So he's never felt it's necessary to be beholden to continuity or make sure all his characters have a big climactic origin story.
Negaduck's first origin story, "Negaduck", which was one of the first episodes of the show ever produced, was basically just a parody of the Star Trek episode "The Enemy Within". Just like Captain Kirk, Darkwing is split into a good version of himself and an evil one. But unlike the two Kirks, the two resultant Darkwings are comically exaggerated parodies of "good" and "evil", with the good Darkwing being a saccharine martyr, and the evil Darkwing being an insane, bloodthirsty psychopath.
In a later episode, "Paraducks", the show implies that Darkwing has no origin story because he inspired his younger self to become Darkwing through time travel shenanigans.
Later on, the writers wanted to do a big two-part episode, "Just Us Justice Ducks", where several of Darkwing's villains would team-up for the first time. They were struggling to decide who would be the leader of the villains. Tad Stones suggested bringing back that psychotic version of Darkwing from the previous episode. Stones liked that character because his crazy dialogue was so much fun to write. The other writers worried that would be too confusing because that Darkwing had merged back together with the other Darkwing at the end of that episode and effectively didn't exist anymore. To assuage his fellow writers' concerns, Stones famously said, "Fine, if it will make you guys feel better, we'll do anotherStar Trek parody."
Sure enough, the episode produced immediately after the two-parter was Negaduck's second origin story, "Life, the Negaverse, and Everything". This time, the Star Trek episode being parodied was "Mirror, Mirror". Negaduck is explained as having come from a parallel universe, one where everyone in St. Canard is evil except Darkwing's villains and Gosalyn. The writers really liked the subtle joke this implies (the normal universe Gosalyn is actually the evil version of her).
Negaduck having two contradictory origin stories became a running gag among the show's writers. Writer Jan Strnad suggested giving Negaduck a third origin story. This time, they would parody Star Wars instead of Star Trek, by revealing that Negaduck was actually Darkwing's identical cousin who was raised by space pirates. The other writers liked that idea, but expanded on it by making Darkwing himself a space alien who learned karate. That way, instead of just being an in-joke about Negaduck, it could also be a parody of Superman and superhero origin stories in general. This episode was appropriately titled "The Secret Origins of Darkwing Duck".
Tad Stones thought this was so funny that he decided to make the tradition official. Every season from then on, the writers would create a new origin story for Darkwing Duck that was totally incompatible with every one they had created before. The episode "Clash Reunion" revealed that Drake Mallard became Darkwing Duck in high school, mostly by accident, when he defended his senior prom from Megavolt while dressed in a costume he had borrowed from the drama department.
Unfortunately, that was the only such episode produced before the show was cancelled.
Long story short, the writers of that show didn't take themselves too seriously and enjoyed having the occasional giggle.

That's impossible
We all know Darkwing Duck is the product of a network exec just jotting the adventures of Drake Mallard down as he watches him with a transdimensional viewing helmet.
This episode likely explains where Drake gets all his equipment and funding.
He was paid for acting in the movie and likely bought all the( oddly fully functional) props cheap because Scrooge would never pay for storage
Yeah, that's enough seed money to get him started, and the payment he gets from doing mercenary work for S.H.U.S.H. will keep his lights on after that runs out.
I never got into Darkwing Duck when it originally aired (I vaguely remember being annoyed that there was too much focus on the kid, whose voice I found to be grating), but man... This was just a perfect episode/hopefully backdoor pilot.

This is amazing.
The one thing about Negaduck that I remember is the alternate universe thing and being really confused by Negaduck appearing later.
So all of this tracks.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
is the current creative crew have established Megavolt, Bushroot, Quackerjack and Liquidator as fictional.
Then again I could picture a delightful episode with Negaduck forcing less-than willing random people to be them.
My theory:
Negaduck gives some criminals stolen tech in exchange for becoming his gang. Possibly a group of Beagle Boys who were cut off from the rest of the family for having talents that aren't useful for crime.
The seeds have already been planted in recent episodes. Ludwig von Drake's plant growth liquid. Gandra Dee's electricity-generating circuitry.
There's almost certainly a considerable infusion of moon tech coming soon.
They could pull the back story from Spider-Man: Homecoming's Vulture (and crew) pretty easily there.
Bonus points if their tech runs off of gold giving them a reason to target The Bin.
Also super obvious, but a touch I still loved was reboot!Megavolt looking like DKR Bane.
Personally, I'd like it if Darkwing was running into villains mimicking the old Darkwing show under some form of mind control, but as he goes along, he realizes there's a pattern, and it's Negaduck calling him out. Basically 1 part Just Us Justice Ducks and 1 part Make 'Em Laugh from BTAS.
Or, since we've got F.O.W.L., change things up and have the lead up to Steel Beak (Maybe toss in Taurus Bullba as the Dragon/Co-Mastermind) trying to unleash gold devouring nanites or trying to summon Duckthulhu or Magicka or some other world ending plot.

Watched that episode with a mixture of adults and children. We adults were deeply uncomfortable with the scene leading up to that part, then left simultaneously still feeling uncomfortable and laughing so hard it hurt. It was something.

Jim Sterling/Original Darkwing Duck in the season finale was voiced by Jim Cummings, the voice actor who actually did Darkwing Duck in the original cartoon!
How can this show just keep getting more and more awesome?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that they're violating some kind of natural law regarding the conservation and distribution of awesome at this point.
Speaking of cool tributes in that episode, I discovered a new one.
Remember the comic book section detailing childhood Drake's inspiration by the Darkwing show? The one done extremely faithfully to the 90s style? That was signed "Peraza."
A Google search revealed it was almost certainly drawn by Michael Peraza Jr., a semi-retired art director for Disney who did character design for the original Darkwing Duck.

One of them is Webby focused. And the one after it has a strong Webby presence as well, but not quite as strongly focused on her.
But this episode interprets it as something inspiring, rather than just funny. It's a direction I never would have thought of to take the character in, but it makes perfect sense.
Ugh. Just read about that.
Also, Negaduck wielding a chainsaw, it's the little things you miss
Until today, when it stops until, apparently, September?
It's going to be a long couple of months.
I'm not sure what to believe. Apparently it was part of an extremely contentious divorce hearing?
I see the judge granted him custody of his kids which is unusual over a mother. But aside from that, who knows.
Nah Disney is super weird about Howard. Even post buyout it took a long time to get a new book for him and hes still wearing pants
Oh god I just got caught up.
So right.
Howard was a regular in a Marvel Zombies series about a year after the buyout, so he kinda had a book then. And he's had a regular strong of comic series/appearances since the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
But yeah, no one's dared to mess with the pants issue.
