This is a hard question!
No it isn't. Krabs is infinitely more greedy.
>>152311321Mr Krabs does it for the money. Scrooge is in it for the game.
>>152311337Scrooge got upset because he wouldnt make more money once
>>152311321Scrooge is an incredibly wealthy man who goes on big adventures with his relatives. Krabs is a moderately wealthy man who owns a single restaurant and ripped a movie out of a guys mind and sold his employee's soul out of cheapness.
Scrooge generally has more heart, plays VERY fair to get his earnings, and half the time in his apperances is actually really nice around the edges (of course there is so much media this varies)I cannot remember a time Krabs was not a jewish cunt lmao
>>152311407>I cannot remember a time Krabs was not a jewish cunt lmaoHe let Spongebob go home once when he was too sick to work
>>152311365Scrooge routinely spends money on his family. Krabs has removed a movie from someone's memory.
>>152311414Probably because he was causing more problems then he was making up for his work.
>>152311321Scrooge actually invests his money
>>152311321Mr Krabs sold Sponegbob's soul for 62 cents
>>152311378>>152311407>>152311450>>152311516You guys slandering Krabs always say the same few things. "He sold spongebob's soul ONE TIME for 62 cents" or "He made someone unwatch a movie WHEN HE NEEDED THE MONEY" don't you guys have any other proof or can you not accept that people shouldn't be judged for things they did one time
>>152311321Krabs easy.
>>152311536Post Scrooge selling Dewey's soul for any amount of money and I'll agree with you.
>>152311536
>>152311321Greed is proportional to amount of wealth controlled therefore scrooge is greedier. Mr. Krabs also provides an actual service to his community by distributing food and employing workers. Scrooge conversely makes his wealth by dubious means and mainly by treasure hunting, aka stealing cultural relics from foreign people's. And even if you want to argue greed from a moral or character standpoint. Scrooge despite being the wealthiest character in his setting literally day dreams about being a slave owner.
These questions are so fun to see because it's clea no one watches duck tales among normies
>>152311610Greed is defined by the desire for power and wealth. Scrouge doesn't desire money, he has no need to desire it, he has it. Krabs desires money over most things, he'll sell a car he just bought cause he'd rather have the $2000 dollars than a car.
Mr.Krabs sold spongebob to the flying dutchman for 62 cents
Krabs is both greedy and a miser. Scrooge is just a miser.
>>152311321I'm pretty certain I remember Scrooge explaining to his grandkids that you have to spend and invest money to make more money. Krabs literally won't spend a penny on anything and stoops to stealing.
>>152311450Krabs spends money on Pearl and NEVER gets mad at her. Same with Mrs.Puff. Scooge ruined his relationship with his soulmate for some gold.
>>152311414Here you gohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ruYM544vzRY
>>152311536Look buddy, I agree that seasons 1-3 Krabs had morals and would feel regret when he did something scummy. But Krabs has been nothing but a greedy, selfish bastard since season 4, and he very rarely gets called out or punished because Spongebob is there to suck his red, fat cock every time.
>>152312430>>152311536Fun fact: In the new Spongebob movie, Mr. Krabs doesn't say the word Money once.
>>152311321Mr.Krab is so greedy he won a greedy
List of Mr. Krabs crimes:-Fraud for a secret ingredient-Animal slavery-Selling a soul for 10 cents-Gambling employees-Theft-Killing Old Man Jenkins with his and Planktons original unrefined recipe (This one is somehow not as bad since Patrick killed 5 people with his song alone but I'm including it anyway)Unless Scrooge has stolen, killed, sold out his family and friends, enslaved animals or people, etc, this isn't a debate at all.
>>152311536BIGMEATYCLAWStyped this
>>152311321Have dinner and wine with Scrooge. Boil Mr. Krabs in a giant pot.
>>152311407Tell me you are an American that never read the Eurocomics without saying it. Scrooge cheats (doesn't pay or severly underpays Gyro while making money out of his inventions) manipulates and uses extortion on his naphew all the time. What is fair in that? Not to mention how much he mooches by inviting himself to eat at Donald's (and he clearly shows that he isn't that welcome more often than not) or how he has Baptist Quackmore essentially working on slave terms?
>>152311610>Greed is proportional to amount of wealth controlledWhat the fuck is this shit?
>>152311536>"He sold spongebob's soul ONE TIME for 62 cents"One time wasn't enough???
>>152311321
>>152311536>Gave away Krabby Patties for free once>While charging $1 for every footstep taken within the restaurant
>>152311536Off the top of my head, Mr. Krabs:>sold the Krusty Krab for money>whored SpongeBob out for merch>abused Patrick as a sideshow attraction>nearly killed for a penny SpongeBob picked up>went psycho when a clam ate his millionth dollar>fucking breaks down depositing a penny in a BANK>regularly commits theft, abuses "free" loopholes, ie. stealing a "complementary" hotel room>fired SpongeBob to save a dimeAnd that's not even getting into most of his short-sighted get-rich schemes. Shit like starting a tabloid or selling grease on a plate and calling it soup. Krabs makes money because he has a borderline unhealthy emotional (possibly evolutionary) attraction to it.
Scrooge and Krabs are both greedy but are separated by their actual levels of wealth and how they go about it. Krabs is a penny pinching cheapskate but he isn't obscenely, unbelievably wealthy like Scrooge. Krabs likes to scrounge and cut corners to make more money out of his steady Krusty Krab revenue while Scrooge spent most of his time working his ass off or swinging for the fences with big deals or being a treasure hunter until he got old and went into an on/off retirement where a lot of his investments work for him via many enterprises and subsidiary companies.While Scrooge did work hard to get where he is he was born into money, Krabs was born extremely poorly and penniless.
>>152311321Scrooge plays the long game even if he comes off as a frugal miser. Krabs is a cheapskate with a business to run and trade secrets to protect from rivals.>>152311378Scrooge also gave financial advice to his nephews once.>>152311775No, normies read the Scrooge McDuck comics and have no need for Ducktales.
>>152311321Did Scrooge ever charge his employees one hundred dollars per hour to work for him?
>>152314160>While Scrooge did work hard to get where he is he was born into moneyScrooge was self-made and built his wealth out of practically nothing. It's not like his family was rich and just handed him an inheritance ala Batman.Also the underlying foundation of Scrooge's greed is that it's a sign of his hard work ethic and and perserverance. He's sees himself as someone who earned his wealth fair and square and deserves it. In other words Scrooge is like someone who would only want a sports trophy if he won it fairly, while Mr Krabs would want it even if it meant cheating to get it.
>>152311515This. I remember a comic where Donald convinced him to go on an extravagant spending spree as it was cheaper than expanding the Money Bin. This plan flopped, as Scrooge had an entire region saturated with his enterprises to such an extent, that all the money they had wasted on limos and fancy dining just circulated back to him. He had invested so much that he is the economy.
Mr. Krabs is literally Scrooge without any redeeming qualities.
>>152311566Krabs deserves bankruptcy after killing those poor children's dreams for profit
>>152311321Mr. Burns
>>152313749In reality, such an insanely huge source of gold would drive prices into the fucking floor.
>>152315684This
>>152311610How have I been using this board for years and never seen anyone post this before holy kek not even as shitpost slander in the tournaments
>>152311610>Mr. Krabs also provides an actual service to his community by distributing food and employing workersIsn't Scrooge canonically the single largest employer in the entire world because of how many industries he has a finger in?
>>152316617Very possible. Scrooge takes after the old kind of billionaire that acquired most of their wealth by how many pies they had their fingers in. Most billionaires these days tend to stick to own or two things, like Bezos or Zuckerberg.He's got a fuckton of wealth but he also invests a fuckton of it, too. Gotta spend money to make money, yada.
>>152316617Yes. He is quite literally the world economy. And like real world richfags because he controls so much of the economy he has a huge stash of money that basically just sits in a vault and does nothing. Money only 'works' when it circulates. Money that coagulates in one spot causes inflation as more money has to be printed and injected into the economy to make up for the money that is stagnant.Thats why when I made this post>>152311610Which these anons didn't understand >>152312270>>152313033I wasn't being facetious. Mr. Krabs objectively does less damage to his world economy than scrooge. Because even for all of his cheapskate antics he doesn't have a literal huge vault the size of several Olympic swimming pools filled with gold coins that he swims in.As other anons mentioned>>152314160Scrooge compounds the problem of his wealth by owning so much that when any money does circulate in his world's economy it all flows back up to him. Its the Cantillion Effect on steroids.
>>152316740>>152316749There's literally a short where Scrooge talks about how he reinvests most of his money and he just has control over such an absurd amount of wealth that the amount you see of him hoarding is only a small fraction of it. He literally, outright, directly, in no unclear terms states that money circulating is a good thing and hoarding it is a bad thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9d8l-Gkweg
>>152316790thats how it should work but it feels like modern billionaires care more about hoarding it all and cutting costs. guess it helps scrooge typically never has to answer to a board or anything like that
>>152316799Yeah but this is a discussion about Scrooge himself, not modern billionaires. Scrooge is based on the concept of the ideal billionaire that understands it's worth more to him for everyone to prosper than to simply hoard up as much wealth as possible for himself. He's just THAT fucking rich in canon that him having a gigantic giga-huge fuckoff money vault is a tiny fraction of the overall wealth he generates.
>>152316749iirc the stuff in the vault is money he made with his own two hands during his life of adventure. He's got huge amounts of investments in (probably) every industry and major business in the world. The vault is an overly fancy memento box.
Krabs can't be the greediest when he spent THIS much on one woman
>>152316812well like I said, scrooge is more like the old kind of billionaire who invests a lot and engages in a lot of horizontal expansion i think is what it's called. risky stuff
>>152316749Scrooge's money vault is what he's personally made with his own two hands, he reinvests everything his actual ventures make because he recognizes he doesn't need the money. For a modern equivalent this would be like if Jeff Bezos just stopped taking in money from any of his companies and willingly redistributed the financial gains to his employees.

>>152312878>thinking anybody cares about eurotrash fanfiction
Mr.Krabs has less continuity than Scooge, but he has redeeming quality. Remember when Mr.Krab became a bus boy when he achieved everything he wanted, buying back his old life
>>152316790>>152316862Using Canonical sources.Scrooge once commented in the magic hourglass story that if he lost 1 billion dollars a minute it would take 600 years for his fortune to be depleted. This would mean his total net worth is something like $3.15 x 10^18. For comparison the entire net value of literally everything on planet earth including all resources, infrastructure, goods and services is estimated to be $3.3 x 10^16.So he has enough wealth to buy the entire planet 95.45 times over.
>>152311321Both of them are stingy and greedy, but most will give preference to Eugene Krabs, because most of them know about the Sponge Bob cartoons, while they will say about Scrooge that he has a soft heart and loves his family only because of Ducktales in which he was softened a lot, because most of them don't know what he was like in the comics, and in the older comics he was literally Mr. Krabs.Paid his nephew 30 cents a day and humiliated him in all kinds of ways, even though Donald was an asshole, he never paid for Gyro, not to mention he doesn't pay his butler. His secretary, Quackfaster, when she didn't get her monthly salary, complained to Scrooge that she needed money to buy cream, and Scrooge replied that she ate from the leftover margarine and often scolded his workers. He also took money from Donald's nephews who sold lemonade and made money from it until Grandma Duck came and threatened him to return all the money to Donald's nephews. So like Mr. Krabs did to his workers and to his daughter Pearl, only in the late seasons they turned SpongeBob into a deranged radio-aholic who doesn't like going on vacation.Barks pretty much made Scrooge a real asshole who only thinks about money, but over time, due to the publishing of Disney comics in order not to throw him out, he had to soften Scrooge a bit, so he often made comics in which they go in search of treasure, but he left Scrooge's characterization to clash with Donald's, and Donald's nephews were moral verticals for the two of them. Then he created Glomgold as Scrooge's evil spirit or another Scrooge, again so that Scrooge wouldn't turn out to be the biggest miser, and Glomgold and Scrooge had quite similar characterizations in Barks' comics. Scrooge in Italian comics was an even bigger asshole and greedy than in Barks' comics, especially in Guido Martina's comics where he behaves like the worst billionaire towards his family and those comics were always the funniest to me.
>>152316953Conversely Mr. Krabs owns a single burger restaurant and his personal home.
>>152316958 (me)Let's not forget that Scrooge was literally based on Ebenezer Scrooge. You could only find the real Scrooge in animation in Mickey's Christmas Carol where he behaves exactly as he was made. As for the Don Rossa comics, especially in the series The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Scrooge is depicted in such a way that he wanted to become the biggest billionaire in the world from an early age and achieved it through his efforts and work, and he came from the then poorest McClan clan of the family. There it was Scrooge was softened, but Rosa did not rule out his stinginess and greedy nature, which Scrooge acquired when he found gold in the Klondike. He will stand out especially when he sets fire to the native villages in the Congo and drives his sisters away from him. Later, Foola Zoola cursed him and sent Bombie the Zombie to chase him. When Scrooge returned to Duckburg after many years, his Money Bin was already there, he drove his sisters away once again with his cheeky actions. He never managed to reconcile with Hortensia (Donald's mother), but he did with Matilda after 25 years.Since the Cold War was still going on, Disney didn't want to make Scrooge a parody of capitalists, so they deliberately softened him and made him a great adventurer and family man in Ducktales. Although Scrooge showed his dirty nature in the Ducktales Movie when he wanted to contain the Genie all to himself, until he was kidnapped. In House of Mouse, Scrooge was portrayed exactly as Scrooge, so many people complained, because most had no idea that Scrooge was like that in the comics, and that's the only praise for that series that they did it the right way (plus Phantom Blot), otherwise I'm not a fan of House of Mouse. For the Ducktales reboot, the only thing I liked was that David Tennant played him, but Scrooge was not Scrooge, but a superhero without a superhero costume, so that in the Marvel comics he would be portrayed as the protector of Earth.
>>152316953>Scrooge has enough wealth that he could buy the entire planet nearly 100 times over>But this is stated to be an insignificant fraction of his wealth and he reinvests everything that he didn't personally make himselfDoesn't this imply that the Ducktales world is phenomenally more wealthy than our own?
>>152316863Didn't Spongebob buy that stuff for him the first time?
>>152317090 (me)A total absence of his character and that's why I don't like Nu-Ducktales and this new media where they make Scrooge a megastar by softening him completely. Totally idiotic. In translation, Scrooge is a bastard and really has a greedy nature and will do anything to keep the money and keep it for himself, and he will not take anyone from the heirs, neither Donald nor Huey, Dewey and Louie. He is such a character and created like that, and he is an antihero.As for Mr. Krabs, he also has his life's adventures from being a fearless pirate working for his grandfather, until he quit that job and started from scratch creating his own Burger Company, which despite the ruin is still functioning. But he also has his arch-rival Plankton who wants to steal his Krabby Patty recipe. Not to mention the treatment of SpongeBob, Squidward and Pearl, you already have that in the cartoons. Those were my essays from all three parts. The end.
>>152311321Mr. Krabs literally sold SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents it's hard to get much greedier than that
>>152316935>>thinking anybody cares about eurotrash fanfictionIdiots, that's how Barks created him and the Europeans just used his material for their comics.
>>152311515This is the only correct one. He literally owns everything in Duckburg.>>152315684True. I have sympathy for Scrooge and Mr. Krabs, but Mr. Burns? Not really. Otherwise, a real imitation of Jacob Rothschild.
>>152312476>Unless Scrooge has stolen, killed, sold out his family and friends, enslaved animals or people, etc, this isn't a debate at all.Tell me you haven't read The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck without telling me?
>>152311321Scrooge is an actually investor who built up generational wealth but his circulating finances at least help out Duckberg through new infrastructure and businesses.Mr. Krabs is a typical modern billionare, who makes profit through wealth extraction, short sighted schemes and decisions made on a quarter by quarter basis leading to long term harm for general consumers / people on his employ. Commonly referred to as 'Enshitification'. Also like the modern wealthy Krabs does NOT reinvest any of money into the local Bikini Bottom community.It's Krabs by a million miles.
>>152317108Yes, but he also spent A LOT on Mrs P. According to season 10, they have been dating for 16 years
>>152317414SpongeBob vored and Mrs.Puff got more demanding as the show goes on
>>152311321Definitely Krabs
>>152311555>>152311775You about the Ducktales reboot universe? Off topic here.
>>152312878>Scrooge doesn't pay or severely underpays GyroThat's Gyro's problem, not Scrooge's. Gyro isn't Scrooge's employee, he could demand a decent wage for his services, and it's on him if he doesn't.>Manipulates and uses extortion on Donald all the timeHe extorts Donald because Donald always owes him exorbitant sums of money considering the amount of Scrooge's resources he wastes/destroys. Scrooge is just having Donald pay off his debts.>Mooches by inviting himself to eat at Donald'sConsidering the sums Donald usually owes him, Scrooge inviting himself over for a meal now and then is small potatoes, plus Donald's the only one who has an issue with it. The kids enjoy Scrooge's presence and stories from his youth.>Baptist Quackmore essentially working on slave termsThis is the only one I can't argue against.
Scrooge contributes to several charities. Krabs doesn't give to anyone.
>>152317276this is undoubtedly scrooge's worst moment but he genuinely regretted it for decades
>>152315710Rosa did a thing with that where the philosopher's stone, which magically turns any metal into gold, is locked away by bankers to stop it making their gold stores worthless.And then someone uses it as a breaking-and-entering tool because pure gold is so soft you can bend it with your hands.I like it when Rosa gets clever like that.
>>152320418Regret without Redress, not worth a plugged nickel.
>>152316958>>152317090Is this machine-translated from foreign-talk?
>>152317276NTA but I thought this part was a little clunky. Scrooge suddenly gets really vicious when if the series up to that point had showed him being made "harder" by his experiances, it didn't show him becoming unprincipaled. This is AFTER he was honest enough to try to pay Goldie wages after he accidently made her work too long to pay off what she stole from him.He also totally regrets doing this almost right away and never does anything else like it ever again. His "fall" is to become a bitter recluse who won't even try to reconcile with his family, not becoming an evil man.
>>152320047E X O T I C
Scooge is greedy, but Mr.Krabs is cartoon toonishly greedy. Scooge is comedy club jokes, while Mr.Krabs is Chuck Norris joke
>>152311536Just put the patties on the grill lil bro
>>152311321Scrooge once swapped places with a poor version of himself from another universe and made the guy rich even though he wouldn't personally profit, I doubt Mr Krabs could or would do the same.
>>152312878You seem to lack the reading comprehension of "there is so much media this varies".There are now in the hundreds of thousands of duck stories, of course Scrooge is going to be absolutely nasty in a bit of them, there are a lot where even Mickey can be a piece of work if you pick a certain one. He has far more media then Krabs ever could have. You neglect that a lot of those comics do not have him being bad at all
>>152322792Mr Krabs let Pearl have executive control of his entire franchise, workers, and orders. It physically made him ill, but he did it to give Pearl business experience
