From what I read of her, Drossel still has a lot of human expressionisms about her, so imagery could still work to establish a foundation while we work out the more complicated language through longer interactions. That's how pretty much every encounter between two people completely foreign to one another was worked out.
if we had a universal translator and put their language in we could probably get it to the point everyone can communicate with everyone else.

Return to Xanadu

Return to Xanadu is a 1991 story by Don Rosa. It features Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Lah Deedah, Tralla Lallians and Tsamjah Phee. Scrooge McDuck is telling his nephews about their many adventures, like when they found the lost Crown of Genghis Khan. Huey, Dewey...

First paragraph: Scrooge McDuck is telling his nephews about their many adventures, like when they found the lost Crown of Genghis Khan

Edit :Ok, so if I'm reading this right, the crown was a totally different adventure (probably the ducktales ep of the same name), BUT there is ghengis loot in xanadu hidden by ghengis's grandson kublei

Well yes, Return to Xanadu is the follow-up to a much older story. The one you linked is about the treasure of Kublai Khan rather than Genghis Khan. That lost crown either got lost again or is in Glomgold's treasure bin.

EDIT: I'll just put this here. https://scrooge-mcduck.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lost_Crown_of_Genghis_Khan!

So at least for me it's a bit of a bummer that syndrome seemingly went out like a punk. Like I know that he was our enemy and an anti-cape jerk but I enjoyed his smarmy attitude from the movie so it's a real shame if he was taken out in the quest without him being able to do anything cool.

That's fair. To me, it was kinda fitting, because it reminded me exactly of how he died in such a pathetic way in the movie itself, but I can also understand why an egotistical villain would be attractive when almost every other option available is cunning and quiet, or apocalyptic.

Not really. He was just in the way, and a cultural poison as he 'removes,' capes.

A fair complaint all things considered. I'm not the QM, but this should be taken as a lesson on management. Syndrome had made too many mistakes with his organizational style, and made a few too many enemies. It was a confluence of poor decisions( and background rolls) that ultimately saw his downfall, and Syndrome's escape was his chance to save himself.
 
So, dumb question from someone who never watched "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", but how exactly would Doom employ it as anything other than a means of execution? ie., how would he be able to weaponize Dip without running into problems with it's chemical composition? Benzene is "can kill you if you breath in too much", where "too much" is 10,000 to 20,000 parts per million in the air, even with brief exposure, turpentine is potentially equally toxic if it's inadvertently ingested or too much is absorbed through the skin (not exactly unlikely if a compound including it is being sprayed around like fuel from a flamethrower), and acetone, the least unpleasant of the components of Dip for humans, is still a massive irritant if it gets anywhere sufficiently sensitive, and can also cause nausea, headaches, etc., when ingested.

Ironically, it's chemical properties (assuming Dip doesn't follow cartoon logic and is somehow only toxic to Toons, even though it's components should be toxic to humans too) could make it seem like a potentially attractive way of trying to assassinate Doom - have him get doused in Dip as a result of an "accident", and then slip a more lethal poison into something that he eats/drinks (or which is injected into him by a doctor) while recovering from benzene/turpentine poisoning.

Doom is secretly a toon and thus invulnerable to all damage except for dip. Being doused in dip will kill him.

I know that Dip would just kill Doom outright - I merely wished to note that, if Dip is as toxic to humans as it's individual components are, getting Doom poisoned by his own preferred method of disposing of Toons as a prelude to offing him would seem neatly ironic to anyone who didn't know that Doom was a Toon.

My actual question is unrelated to that particular spoiler - I was just trying to figure out how exactly Doom would employ Dip, beyond just having vats of it that he dropped Toons into - because sooner or later, he would probably have at least tried to figure out a way to field Dip offensively against Toon hideouts.

Dip hose or water guns used by the bots maybe?

he has a high pressure Dip hose mounted onto a truck in the movie.any water riot weapon can be easily reworked into a dip one.

and he's not above using Toon tech so super squirt guns are an option
 
So, one detail I don't think people have really commented on - Xanatos' seat of power is on the East Coast, specifically in New York, but he also has all of Alaska. Which is probably where a lot of his actual industrial capability is, what with how built up the East Coast is compared to Alaska. It also means that he probably has a not decent degree of leverage to shove the oil markets around - which might help explain why he seems to be on neutral terms with Shere Khan, because neither has the influence or resources to completely muscle the other out of business without leaving themselves open to their adversaries or other threats in the regions they call theirs - see also DOR-15, Doom, and the Zaibatsu(s).
