I remember watching duck tales and I used to find the idea of having enough money to swim in fascinating when Scrooge McDuck would dive into his vault of gold, but looking at it from an adult perspective it is super weird that Scrooge was depicted as one of the good guys, and all the evil people are trying to get into his vault to steal his money. Like he could change the lives of so many people with that money and instead he just hoards it all to swim in it and we are supposed to root form him

Disney groomed us to believe the ultra rich are good guys. Looks like they succeeded.

Duck Tales is about the only publication that has him as a good guy.

Perhaps it's funded by Scrooge McDuck's PR team.

I guess it would be too hard to write a light-headed adventure cartoon where one of the main protagonists is an anti-hero. For comedy it's easier.

Even then, I remember he is always wrong and almost kills everybody all the time.
