      Gargoyles was one of those major elements of my childhood. I was born in December 1993, so the show was basically just reruns on Toon Disney in the early 2000s, but I loved most if not every single episode. Season 3 wasn't that great, but I'm going to try and get my hands on the whole series anyway. If this show isn't on Disney+ I'm starting a petition.

    21:39 I disagree, I thought Thailog was a pretty interesting villain. His main goal wasn't just "to get rich," but to prove his superiority to his three 'fathers.' The reason he was so obsessed with wealth, wasn't simply due to generic moustache-twirling greed, but because he wanted to surpass Xanatos in monetary power (in the same vein as how he tried to surpass Sevarius by creating the clone clan in 'The Reckoning,' and how he tried to best Goliath by hooking up with his former mate Demona...and then creating an implied sex slave by cloning the G man's two major love interests...nasty stuff!).
    The dude is pretty much a walking Oedepus Complex, thanks mostly to the mistreatment he received from his 'fathers' (Xanatos and Sevarius pretty much treated him like shit from day one, and Goliath dismissed him as "an abomination" upon seeing him for the first time...true he regretted it almost immediately afterwards, but like nearly every other villain on the show, Thailog isn't one to forgive or forget). So yeah, Thailog is plenty of things, but never dull.

      @@BullSession Thanks! Although to be honest, all that maniacal laughter just further endeared me to the character XD
      My only real problem with Thailog was that he only had three episodes to establish his character, two of which he wasn't even the main focus of. Which is perhaps one of the biggest reasons why it sucks that season three turned out the way it did; the original plan was for Thailog to take Xanatos' place as the main antagonist, and the season would have further built upon his character and goals. Kind of like how season two built upon Demona from what little we got of her backstory in season one. But alas, we got stuck with The Goliath Chronicles, which killed Thailog and the other clones off in one episode like it was nothing...I fucking hate studio meddling...

      I totally agree. I watched Gargoyles as a kid in the early 2000s as reruns. Had no idea that Season 2 was 52 episodes. We basically got 4 seasons in 1.
      I think Thailog and Demona are tied for best gargoyle villain while Xanatos and Macbeth are best human villains. Jackal and Hyena are just over the top, it's so good to be bad villains.

    She is very complicated, poor and evil.

    The "Gargoyles" retrospective lay dormant by the human they were sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for several months. Now we are in August, the spell is broken, the retrospective lives again!
    Now with that cheap joke out of the way, Season 2 was awesome. I think my favorite episodes of the World Tour arc were the ones with other gargoyles, and the post-Avalon set with the dystopian future and Goliath's crew finally returning to Manhattan. Plus, it's amazing how they incorporated many Shakespearian stories and mythologies into this show and managed to make them work in this show's universe.
    Now I can't wait to see what you have to say about Season 3, which yeah, I didn't care for either.

    Fun fact: I am a literal jalapeño.
    See, those chiles are called after my home city, which is the capital of the Mexican state of Veracruz: Xalapa.
    "X" is pronounced as "J" due to the indigenous náhuatl language, tho, which was spoke by the then all migthy aztec empire, which covered almost half of México at its peak.
    Funnily enough the other bigger empire of mesoamericans were the mayans, who were part of the World Tour Arc, so it kinda is a Yin Yang circle in my eyes.

      Kieth David told a story about a female blues singer who would say Jalapeña! Instead of Hallelujah! And when the writing team heard the story they dared Greg and then he put it in the show...a bunch! They hated by the end.

    I have to admit, I kind of hate how the show written Demona. Granted, if a reboot was ever done, I still want Demona to be the tragic antagonist, but not so much a villain. While overboard, she still had a point and drove home that Gargoyles purpose didn’t have to mean to serve humans, especially humans who treated them less than second class citizens. Just replace Gargoyles with any marginalized group of people. If a reboot is ever done, I would love to see her points made clear and have Goliath’s own beliefs about what makes a Gargoyle and that they’re purpose does not have to be serving or protecting humans, if at all. Demona can still be the “bad guy” and still be single minded over her hate of humans, but it could be because she can’t get over the oppression she had to suffer under them.

    One rather obscure animated show from the 90s I've never seen mentioned by any RUclips reviewer was *"The Legend of Calamity Jane."*
    It was briefly on the the WB network (not sure if it was part of the "Kids WB" lineup) and basically a western made to look like a Spaghetti Western with a female hero as the star. It was really a mixed bag in my opinion but still noteworthy for being an original work and having it's own unique style.

    I'm so grateful "Future Tense" was one episode and only a possible future. I read a fanfic that saw it play out as a season-long story with a few choice edits on the authors part (eg. Lex was coersed into betraying the clan). It was heartbreaking and completely devastated me as a teenager to the point where I almost grieved for the characters and I'd really wanted a happy ending for all of them. That's my embarrassing tale.

    Gargoyles is about the exact fact that there are no true villains only selfish jaded anti-heroes.

    How odd that you consider Xanatos to be the main villain of the series. He becomes a good guy/ally for the last 1/4 of the series. I'd say Demona is and always was the main villain. She's the villain in City of Stone, and in Hunter's Moon, at the series' end.
    Both times she does (or tries to do) far far more damage than Xanatos. We see her MURDER MANY PEOPLE on screen by smashing humans that have been turned to stone. We never see Xanatos murder a single person in the series (if you don't count Future Imperfect).

    Even though I love this show. I have a few problems with it now re watching it again. One thing I noticed is that they always made Demona weak around Elisa. I get that Elisa is a detective and a trained cop for years. But also Demona is a warrior for a thousand of years who have been in many battles. She should easily manhandle Elisa. Even in human form.But I thought it was smart for the creators to make the human ally a Cop. So we can at least believe that Maza can handle her own against Demona more then if she was a regular human with a regular job. Still.

    If this show hadn't been screwed up and meddled with so badly, I really would have liked to see the Gargoyles take on other mythic and fantasy creatures. I know they kinda fought a werewolf with both Fox and...er...Wolf, but having them face a version of the Universal Classic Horror monsters would have been extremely fun! Gargoyles vs. Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolfman, The Mummy, Mr. Hyde, and Creature from the Black Lagoon has a lot of potential to me.

    Demona can be an alternative protagonist, she is a very complicated character, and her experience is very brilliant.
    After the tragedy of the castle, She lost everything, hatred and despair gradually eroded her mind, and The Angels of The Night have become "Demona".
    I like the scene in S02E08 Vows, Young Demona loved Goliath very much 1000 years ago, she refused to betray him and saying she didn't want to be Future Demona.

    11:30 wait is it actually said to be Belle’s dress because that expands your King Arthur theory considerably. In Kingdom Hearts Merlin a recurring supporting character and Belle makes a few appernces in the series. The fact this girl has the dress of someone from another world. Given that she didn’t get back to New York with a corridor of darkness we can rule that possibility out. However this means she’s possibly met a keyblade wielder if she isn’t one herself

  • @Francois424
    @Francois424 5 лет назад +2

    I feel there was always 3 types of "Gargoyles" episodes.
    #1- Is good beyond belief. It's the Pilot episodes, Macbeth episodes, many flashback episodes, and a few individual character episodes.
    #2- is okay. Mostly what you'd call regular episodes... which are okay but nothing special. Like a typical week-end stand alone episode.
    #3- are filler episodes (in their defense, their background often comes back and produce very good episodes) that are just straight out boring.
    But the show is nothing less than a masterpiece. I don't remember season three with the hooded hammer guys. Probably didn't watch that one. Seems I didn't miss much afterall.
    Thanks for the Retrospective. How I would wish for a great show like this now, untainted by SJW politics and other studio interference.

    Thanks for the these vids, I've only watched through (the essential) Gargoyles once, so this was a cool look back to it! I remember not being as fond of that boat-trip arch myself, as much as the show needed to visit fresh scenes so as to not get stale.
    What are your thoughts on Transformers Animated BTW and is there any chance of you doing a retrospective on that?

    • @BullSession
      @BullSession  5 лет назад +2

      I remembered not liking the World Tour when I was a kid, because I wanted the other characters to get involved, and it seemed to take forever. Watching through it now, I liked it quite a lot.
      I've never seen Transformers Animated, but am very interested in checking it out.

    Huh..I just realized that Brookyln feels a lot like a better written Rodimus Prime, especially during the world tour when he had to take leadership during Goliath's absence.
    At first he isn't confident in his ability but slowly grows into and accepts the burden of leadership and like how Rodimus was as Hot Rod, Brooklyn also has the high spirited attitude but isn't as reckless.

    Apparently Snidely Whiplash was a real person in the Gargoyles universe, given how Derek referred to him. After all, people don't usually talk about reincarnation in regards to fictitious characters. Hmm. That'd mean that Dudley Do Right was also real. Considering Weisman planned to use everything/everyone brought up in this show, now matter how trivial (Space Spawn), for future stories I'm left wondering if much like Nought (background character in The Gathering) he now intends to do something with Derek's throwaway line. Hmm. That'd be an interesting crossover. Goliath:"Why is that man sitting backwards on that horse?" :P

    Great video, re-watching the series and introducing it to my gf. We're currently on the first few episodes of the world tour.
    Xanatos is my all time favourite antagonist but I always feel the world tour episode where he mentions cliched villainy feels like writers hanging a lantern for Xanatos being under or poorly written in that episode. The scheme seems beneath him but they had to sort of justify it.
    My least favourite moment with the character.

    @DarkMasterofCupcakes 2 года назад +1

    I always found Demona's anger at Puck turning the humans into gargoyles to be a major sign of how much she's been blinded by the desire for vengeance and by her own hatred? Because, if you think about it, she was basically getting what she wanted and more - not only would the humans be gone, like she wanted, but she would literally be able to live in a world full of gargoyles again, possibly more than she'd ever known before then. But she was so focused on wanting to make the descendents of those who she felt wronged her pay that she didn't want the humans "replaced", she just wanted them all dead.

    • @reachinghigher4259
      @reachinghigher4259 Год назад

      Physically being gargoyles didn't change that they were, at their core, still humans. They were raised with human values, ideas, beliefs, structures of society, religion, government, politics, etc. They were no more gargoyle than Elisa was when she turned. Didn't even know how to fly. It's the whole 'putting pearls on a pig' thing. Doesn't change what they were, even if in this case, they technically didn't remember physically being human before...in their heads, they always would've been.

    I'm interested to see your review on Season 3. I loved Gargoyles growing up but it wasn't till I got all the episodes from a flatmate and uni did I watch the whole series.
    I was so disappointed with Gargoyles; The Goliath Chronicles that I deleted that season and kept the others.
    Only things I remember was how I expected Xanatos to come up with a great scheme or use the Iron Clan robots to distract the anti-gargoyle group, but he was very inactive for most of the season. There was also that anti-climatic ending. :(
