  • Gargoyles was one of Disney's darker shows that put a lot of story, drama and action at the forefront. Gargoyles was deep and complex offering a lot of think pieces while delivering on some really incredible visuals and some creative and fun lore to follow. Let's take a look at the show itself, what happened to it and maybe its resurgence?

      One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of Gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we were sworn to protect. Frozen in stone by a magic spell for 1000 years. Now here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again!
      We are defenders of the night, we are GARGOYLES!

      I think it has more to do with availability. Prior to putting it on Disney Plus, the only way to watch it was to buy it and it was expensive and separated into a bunch of different sets. I doubt most Disney Execs are even aware of its existence. And even if they were, they would probably screw it up. That’s what they did in the 90s.

    • @UbinTimor
      @UbinTimor Před rokem +14

      I rewatched the series a few months ago due to having down time and wanting to look through the series to see if it held up (was going through a nostalgia phase or something watching JLU, Static Shock- all the shows I grew up watching). I would always stay up late as a kid (I'm a night owl) so when my mom finally was able to afford installing cable I would always catch the episodes that the Disney channel played late at night and was memorized by the show.
      It's kind of amazing how much that show helped shape my morals (not giving bigots the satisfaction of being the monster they think you are, fighting hate with love, giving people second chances, but also knowing when to let go of those who are toxic, understanding generational trauma and learning to forgive but not forget ect ect). Watching the show as an adult really made me appreciate how much effort everyone went through to make it and how people like me who grew up with shows like this kind of took it all for granted.
      The representation was spot on too- like, it wasn't in your face but it was there, it was one of the things I liked about the show because I was a mixed race kid living in a predominantly Caucasian area so I could identify with both Goliath and the other Gargoyles (being alienated by others) and Elisa (the obvious being that she's mixed race just like I am). Whenever I have children I hope I'll be able to show them this series to hopefully inspire them too.

    personally, i think the show started off extremely strong. the animation was beautiful and the storyline was so hard-edged, but logical. it really made me feel like i was watching a group of modern day heros tackle the world of darkness and deception.
    the song was bomb, the voice acting was so on-point, and the characters had catch phrases like "this is 3 feet thick !!"...

    I use to watch Gargoyles when it aired when I was like toddler-young and later child-young. My mom would sit with me and watch it too but she used to say it was kind of weird. It didn't scare me since my mom and I also watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer at that time. I have memories of the other gargoyles getting frozen in stone in the early flashback and how devastated Goliath was. I use to remember it incorrectly that it happened in New York because they didn't make it home and were smashed to death but it was in-fact the flashback. I also remembered how they had to get home before morning to be safe there. I also loved Elisa and thought she was so cute. A few years ago my mom and I re-watched it and it was incredible, even better than I remembered. Great story, voice-acting, loved the villain, the Shakespeare, I loved the gun episode, the racism metaphors, Goliath and Elisa's relationship, it was incredible. It was supposed to be even edgier I believe but they had to cut it back for more nick-at-night. I agree that the last season doesn't count, it's pretty garbage. I would not like more Gargoyles, I like how it ended, if you don't count the last non-canon season.

    How could I forget THIS masterpiece of television! I mean I can only remember parts of it but I know that it was amazing. The animation, characters action, setting everything about this was just great! It was darker the most others Disney shows especially at the time, which were more humor based then actions like this one was. It was a nice change of pace, and it worked really well. I really hope this get a reboot, there was a reference to it in the first episode of the duck tales reboot so hopefully that means it’s one people’s minds.

    You made me flash baaaack for this one. I loved the "darker" more story driven way it was run. Very welcoming to edge lords in the making. And adults won't run for the hills right off the bat either. And they even had tons of goofiness mixed in. Chef's kiss show.

    Ahh gargoyles, a classic. About two years ago, my brother(who was staying over for a bit) while we were hanging out, decided to show me Gargoyles on Disney +(since it was recently added on there at the time, all three seasons). He told me it was one of his favorite shows growing up and so we watch it. We ended up watching the entirety(yes even season 3) together each night when he stayed with us and I’m so glad he did. This show that I miss when it aired, now resides within my heart with being able to see it all and I honestly think this series could make a comeback; whether spin-off or continuation.

Sure, I remember Talespin and Rescue Rangers, and even The Little Mermaid and Aladdin (the cartoons of the movies), but Gargoyles was my absolute favorite Disney cartoon of all time. :)

    This was the show that I could watch with my dad as he loved the historical aspect. I have a Disney+ subscription only because I love this TV show so much. It is a TV show my father still regularly watches because he has good memories of watching it with his eldest daughter and later on my younger sister. It is one of the best TV shows Disney has put out there. And as long as I have a Disney+ subscription, I guarantee you I will watch the television show devotedly every weekend. The theme song is equally perfect for the series 10 out of 10 would easily suggest anybody get a Disney+ in budget to watch this absolutely spectacular cartoon.

    I was just re-watching an episode of this show last night and saw this pop up in my subscriptions today. Future Tense is such a tough ep to watch for me, even knowing about the twist at the end. Some of my favorite memories from my high school days in the early 2010's was rushing home to watch the episodes I had DVR'd. I would catch it on Disney channel when I was in elementary school but never gave it a chance since it looked too "dark and mature" for me at the time, so glad I ended up getting into it later when I was old enough to appreciate its themes more. I need to pre-order that new comic too, btw

    So I recently discovered gargoyles on Disney+ this past year, and I did not know how much I would absolutely adore it.
    The writing and lessons it gave were definitely a cut above most TV shows I had seen today, as well as the villains being so complex and thought out. You could honestly have college level discussions about some of the character dynamics.
    Gargoyles is proof that you don’t need profanity, crudeness, or over the top edginess to be a show that masterfully handles dark contact, you just have to have a compelling story.
