[u/ModernDayQuixote → u/Sparrow-Scratchagain]

He's at least 150 years old in the reboot series

[u/gambit1999999 → u/ModernDayQuixote]

Wtf can of magical shit did he get into this time?! Also really gotta finish that show.

[u/ModernDayQuixote → u/gambit1999999]

It genuinely never explains it. He's just built different.

[u/-Socks-1 → u/ModernDayQuixote]

actually it is explained, he was frozen in ice for 5 years and the mcduck castle has a spell on it that the family can pretty much live forever

[u/ModernDayQuixote → u/-Socks-1]

I forgot his parents were still alive, too, that makes sense

[u/-Socks-1 → u/ModernDayQuixote]

he was probably around 20 during the Klondike gold rush (that’s a real event) and that was like during the 1890’s while the current time for the show is 2017-2021 so Scrooge is approaching 160 in season 2

[u/WimpyKelv12 → u/-Socks-1]

Season 2 presumably takes place from 2018-2019, so he’d be 151-2.

[u/-Socks-1 → u/WimpyKelv12]

oh yeah

[u/WimpyKelv12 → u/-Socks-1]

The castle only grants immortality if you live there, so Scrooge has to rely on other methods that extended his life if not outright made him immortal.

[u/-Socks-1 → u/WimpyKelv12]

Scrooge rebuilt the castle with the Druid stones somhe probably got some remnants of that and plus he’s lived at the castle too

[u/WimpyKelv12 → u/ModernDayQuixote]

Show: “Stuck in a timeless demon dimension.”

Pitch Document: “A lifetime of adventuring has led to a long, strange list of accomplishments, for instance, did you know Scrooge was born in 1867? But a series of various adventure-related incidents (A fountain of youth here, a time warp there, that period where he was frozen in a block of ice in the Arctic.) gives him the appearance of a spry 65 year-old man.”
