I actually loved the anime series Hellsing and actually they did have a much better ending in mind, but the thing is despite the fact the show is so extremely popular and successful, the original anime series was in fact extremely expensive and they had practically exhausted their budget by episode 13.
It had been planned to go on longer but again, money nixed those ideas. Darkwing Duck in my opinion truly deserved a proper ending because I firmly believe it is the greatest cartoon show they have ever created, it's high up on my Disney favorite list along with Rescue Rangers, Kim Possible, and Gargoyles.
Darkwing Duck DID have a future beyond what we received, evidence of this is very CLEAR in "The Steerminator" when they bring back Taurus Bulba. Plans were to make this the true final season of DW and have Bulba replace Negaduck as the head villain. They also had plans to bring back two other old villains.
Paddywhack, a skeletal ghoulish clown like villain who was voiced by the late (and great) Phil Hartman, and the FIRST Negaduck (the one composed entirely of energy). This also explains why the old Negaduck was killed in the "Negaverse" episode, to make way for all the new bad guy resurrections.
Sadly Darkwing, Tale Spin and all other classic disney toons were replaced with the nauseating likes of Doug, Recess, and Pepper Anne. No offense to anyone who likes those shows, I just feel replacing shows like Darkwing and Gummi bears with those is kind of an insult but that's just my personal view.
