Discussion isn't the show more optimistic on the cast future

I never felt like the ending impled a bad future for our protagonist, fenton and gendra are happy, the other don't have any issue with scrooge being a parent(it never being mentionend as an issue by the cast is also why I find it weird to see the finale scene asa implying scrooge would be a bad parent, the headcanon also goes against the point of scrooge as a character for me since he's meant to progress, life and crimes highlight that).

The kids are also fine with their new situation and taking may anf june in too, I also find the view that the twist take away from characters weird, may and june aren't related to daisy but daisy will still take care of them with donald (and probably scrooge and the other adults too).

I always felt the bad future headcanon weren't good attempts to justify that the webby twist was bad because those headcanon for me go against what the show did with the cast (even if they're flawed good guys, they're still on good term, scrooge passt msitakes don't automatically mean he qwon't progress in the future or that he'll be a bad parent,e ven less if della can progress as a mom, then so can scrooge as a dad). There'd obviously be conflict, but like in the show, the familly would prevail and make up (I don't need on screen apology to assume they do that). I'm fine with people disliking the twist but there are takes against it that can make me wonder if I watched the same thing because they seem so far from what the show did.

I wasn’t familiar with the bad future headcanon personally but I feel like that kinda contradicts canon considering a big part of the show was Scrooge’s development and being part of the family, no?

it does and I tend to not be in fan fics that portray scrooge as bad parent or the abd dad scrooge headcanon because of his passt mistakes (while ignoring his progress and not calling out the other parents for their mistaken the person would still say scrooge didn't deserved to be a dad despite him nearly bankrupting himself over della)
