Welcome to Next of Ken, and in this episode, we're counting down 14 Moments That Prove "Gargoyles" Was Highly Underrated. Moody yet insightful, the Disney cartoon, "Gargoyles," was criminally underrated and plagued by production issues since the beginning including a lawsuit by artist Joe Tomasini. The show was ultimately canceled due to low ratings, but the show lives on in the hearts of a small cult of fans who acknowledged the sheer brilliance of a show that was far beyond its time.

Next of Ken A great tribute to a criminally underrated show. Also do you think you can do Top 22 Revy's quotes from Black Lagoon?
I've loved Gargoyles since it came out. It dealt with serious issues while NOT talking down to its audience. Xanatos was a fantastic antagonist. He was competent and ruthless. Even when he lost, it was a mere setback than an actual loss. And Eliza and the Gargoyles were great heroes who made mistakes but still tries their bests. I was hooked and could not get enough.
In a lot of ways it was the Disney answer to _Batman The Animated Series._
@@rogue7723 and what an answer it was. I loved both
As was Demona, they were anti-heroes in pain.
@@williethomas5116 quite true
@@williethomas5116 it’s fitting that Demona was involved in one of Shakespeare’s tragedies, she’s honestly one of the most tragic characters in the show
I think that moment that would always stuck in my head was when Xanatos tells Goliath after they helped him saving Fox from transforming into a monster: "Now you know my weakness" referring to the love he has for her. Goliath replies with: "Only someone like you would see love as a weakness."
I don't know the exact words anymore but it is such a strong moment.
Wolpertinger A close enough! Still strong words to this day!
Just a side note to that episode, the audio design on Fox's roar when transformed is so, intense and unnerving. I haven't heard anything like it in anything else. It's almost as if it's blowing out the mic
And to think, one stock gasp was used in it too.
I always liked that episode.
priceless
Xanatos: "now you know my one weakness."
Goliath: "Only you would regard love as weakness."
Except Goliath is wrong, sort of. Most villains consider love as a weakness and avoid or abandon it. Like Daemona. Xanatos embraces it even while considering it a weakness with both Fox and their son, to the extent that he's willing to fight a god to protect them.
Christopher Bacon Typically that also ends up being their undoing, because they’re often alone or betrayed for their villainy and abandonment of love.
Suddenly realize this was jacked by JK Rowling for Severious.
Xanatos was right: when you truly love someone, you will protect them and find yourself acting irrationally around them. You ARE vulnernable, and villains will exploit that. It IS a weakness, but a positive weakness, not a negative one. :-)
"The access code is 'Alone'." still causes me to tear-up.
We need a movie on Demona
I mean seriously Disney you like strong female characters and you habe the rights to Vampire Red Sonja, do something with her
I watched that scene as a teenager.....and now I am two years away from 40....my mind often goes back to that particular dialogue. Every time I think of it I feel such despair for myself and of course for Demona....😢
@@bsn2dnp99....same thing here...started to watch the series in '95 when I was just 15... got so hooked on it that I always wanted to record every episode . When I watched that episode, and was done with it, that moment still lingered in my head... powerful thing.
@@konnosx1213 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". Demona can be an alternative protagonist, she is a very complicated character, and her experience is very brilliant.
@@konnosx1213 In some ways, City of Stone I-IV is the movie of Demona, she is just like the protagonist these episodes.
Everything about this was top quality, especially for the era. The writing, the voice acting, the animation... all of it!
Yes you are absolutly right its is a great series
Agreed!! Classic!!
First season and a half 👍👍
There where a few good shows right around that time. a few years before or after.
I remember "Conan the Adventurer" pretty fondly and by the last few episodes there where a lot of emotional moments.
A bit less serious with only a few good episodes (overall) was "King Arthur and the Knight of Justice" if you get past the "Wtf" moment from the first few episodes it's not bad.
If you're into anime, Inuyasha came out around the early 2000's in English but was a show of the nineties as well. Althought it drags a lot from episode 100-onward, it has a few really good episodes as well. That said, nothing really beats Gargoyles. Reboot's websurfing season was top notch, so was Beasties(beast wars) and "Shadow Raiders" (War planets).
I remember all these shows fondly. Tho Gargoyles is easily number 1.
The same studio behind the start of the batman animated series did this. That's why everything is so top knotch. If you look at the animation and listen to the music and it's very close to BaS.
"Alex, can you say harassment?"
"Gooaweuagh"
"I knew that you could."
Lmao xD
Goliath: I see no walls to guard this city. How do you protect it from invaders?
Elisa: Well, our biggest worries aren’t from outside; they’re from inside.
Goliath: That, I am all too familiar with.
Gargoyles is like what you get when you combine the ragtag creature team of the classic _Ninja Turtles_ with the somber drama of _Batman: The Animated Series,_ and it was a beautiful combination.
I was a teenager in the '90s when _Gargoyles_ was on TV, and I would try to watch every episode. Good times.
JanetFunkYeah well I think it did a good job of taking itself seriously and I was a teenager as well I’m 35 now and I still love Gargoyles. There are some moments in this show just the way they are delivered actually make me cry a bit that alone tells me it was very well written. Actually just showed this to a friend from work and he absolutely loved it lol
Oh, I feel ya. I remember _Gargoyles_ had a time slot in the early morning (around 6:30 AM) and I'd wake up early enough to watch it on TV every time. That was the only year I ever had perfect attendance at high school.
JanetFunkYeah yep that’s when I watched it I remember the show Monster Rancher was on at that time at a later point cause I remember watching it before going to school. For some reason the ending of the episode “Cloud Fathers” when Elisa’s father is talking to his dead father always tears me up 😢
I was too. I'm almost 40 now and still love it as much as I did then.
I'm watching it right now on Disney plus
"It's my first real stab at cliched villainy. How am I doing?" - Xanatos
Your doing great Xanatos 😊
---Me 😃
I think one of my favorite moments was during the creation of Coldstone. As Coldstone begins to move, Xanatos calls out with glee as the music crescendos
"It's alive! ALIVE!"
Music ends , and Xanatos turns to Demona in the silence
"I've always wanted to say that."
Xanatos
Epic villain and completely unashamed nerd.
Truly shows he's human like the rest of us, even if his morals were a bit twisted lol
The part where Xanatos' dad owns him is also great.
Xanatos: "What's this?"
Petros: "A simple American penny. It's not worth much now, but in a thousand years, who knows? It's my wedding present to you, because it's all you seemed to care about."
Savage burn.
It should have been 15 moments, after all who doesn't love this scene.....
Xanatos: "IT'S ALIVE! ALIVE!"
Xanatos: "I always wanted to say that"
Xanatos is such an interesting character! So ambitious and smart. At the same time selfish and megalomaniacal.
Machiavellian
Xanatos: It's my first foray into cliched villainy. How am I doing?
I remember that. When they made a cyborg gargoyle
shizuwolf Coldstone
This included two scenes from the much lamented Season 3 but it lacked "I've been denied everything! EVEN MY REVENGE!" from the pilot
Read the comics
Tis True powerful moment
While I agree that Gargoyles is a phenomenal and sorely-overlooked show, I don't know if you fully showcased its true strengths: that of character arcs, some spanning centuries; it's ability to competently and effectively interweave those character arcs, with clear and believable cause-and effect; the writers talent at taking seemingly dead-end plot threads or throwaway moments, and making them integral or even vital points in the story; and of course the visible continuity of magical props, making almost excessive use of the "Chekov's Gun" principle. These moments you showed, while poignant or badass, didn't really illustrate how groundbreaking the production was.
Yeah, the beginning scene where Goliath breaks out of the cage threw me off, because I think the most important and powerful moment of that episode was goliath admitting that he should take responsibility
Nerd
In there defense it’s hard to put over 70 episodes of awesome in just a few clips.
The fact Disney has made no effort to revive this franchise is a mortal sin.
It almost feels like the show as a whole, in its absolute entirety can be the only way you can do the show justice.
Never mind Beauty and the Beast: I want this as a live action trilogy.
reboot
Hell yeah!! 😍😍😍😍
Just as long as they bring every voice actor for the Manhattan Gargoyle clan back, especially Goliath's voice actor
@@TheGhost-rp3ko manhattan clan. no brooklyn
@@kerosoldier ah alright
I can't believe Disney considers this a mistake.
Waddle Dee what it wasn’t a mistake I’ll tell you what a mistake and company made Cartoon Network for making teen titans go
honestly they consider every good show as a mistake think about it :the owl house, gargoyles, gravity fall, then they make shit and call it good
This was gonna be a franchise and they shot it down.
Disney NEEDS to do something with Gargoyles. A reboot or a movie, SOMETHING. This show was AMAZING!!!!
Be careful what you ask for, they would want to inject today's Politics into it.
@@heathert5455 Disney is planning to re-release Gargoyles on their new streaming service, Disney Plus. And I can already hear the 'progressive' media bitch and cry about how 'problematic' it is. Tarnishing this great shows reputation and legacy, forever. 😔
anything revived under disney now will just be woke trash with identity politics, current year nonsense and would be ruined and disrespectful.......
the Disney that made Gargoyles no longer exists.....i hate to be cynical but if you followed the SW movies or MCU news then you know they're no longer capable of doing a good show like this anymore and are gonna push their crap into everything now
Here here.
Disney is too busy ruining its history along with Star Wars and the MCU and sucking up to China, causing everything to be watered down to do Gargoyles any justice now. The best we can hope for is that they leave it intact on DisneyPlus and don't try to censor it into ruin.
There was so much drama in this show, but not the cheesy kind. The good kind.
The drama was realistic and well delivered.
It's interesting that the show's themes reflect on discrimination and identity, respectively.
Eoghan Feighery if you think about it the gargoyles that are shown in the beasts castle on Beauty and the Beast is very interesting... a good Disney theory.
Beautiful is the word for this show.
I find the lack of Demona's line "What have I..... What have they done to you?" When she first saw Goliath and the rest trapped as stone. That was a beautifully done line with how subtly it showed the core of her character being unable to accept her own mistakes.
Hudson: "A friendly word of advice. True immortality isn't about living forever, man. It's about what you do with the time you have. When all your scheming's done, what will your legacy be, Xanatos?"
Timothy Sotir being a magnificent bastard is his legacy
Love how this was a Disney cartoon
From "Gargoyles Abriged":
Goliath: You are trespassing!
Hakon: Talk to the sword!
Wait, he's bleeding! In a Disney series?! That means normal rules don't apply here.
Fight, men! We just might have a chance!
Keith David has such a great voice! No offense to Commander Riker and Counselor Troy...
Half the cast of ST:TNG did the voices for Gargoyles lol
They all have great voices. I wish I sounded as half as distinctive as they do.
Worf was Coldstone.
Yes, 3 Star Trek the next generation actors provided their voices for Xanatos, Demona and Coldstone. Very Awesome work.
And Data as Puck
Cpt. Janeway as Titania I think.
"The access code is, 'Alone'." Goddamn, that didn't just tug on my heartstrings, it RIPPED at them.
nothing came close to gargoyles after it stopped running on tv best story by far for a cartoon
*cough* avatar the last airbender *cough*
Lawrence oliver Which is why when I make my idea for a cartoon, I’ll keep everyone in mind that I have no intention of topping Gargoyles as the best animated series, for kids OR adults.
Lawrence oliver
At least the first two seasons...
The Goliath Chronicles though...
Gargoyles was nice but lets be real here. Xmen, Spiderman and Batman TAS were superior.
@@thaneros Gargoyles was on par with all those series.
The one where Broadway accidentally shot Elisa was one of the most memorable ones when I was a kid. Too “violent” for today, but it taught a good lesson.
It taught a lesson many many many today don't know
And then near the end, he reveals he lied to Goliath about what actually happened to Elisa. And Goliath was only mad that Broadway lied about it and not that he hurt Elisa, showing both Broadway and the audience that he understood and is aware that it was an accident.
Truly a dad and I am here for it.
Back when Disney had balls
Unlike today where everything is sugarcoated and watered down.Those were balls of steel to make this masterpiece.
This was one of my favorite shows growing up. My mother even liked it. We'd watch together. I liked Brooklyn the most.
8:29-9:10.
It’s fascinating even when under a spell, Demona tries to deflect the blame away from her, it’s like the Weird Sisters are peeling away trying to get Demona to admit what she did while getting the access code.
She cannot escape what she did, the blood of her clan is on her hands.
This show certainly has one of the most underrated werewolf(fox) transformations ever.
I liked all of it's transformation scenes. Gargoyles to stone and vice versa, the werewolf, human to Gargoyle and back or that one episode where nanobots wanted to eradicate all life just because and acted like an unstoppable flood of silvery fluid.
It’s even consistent with old legends about the Hexenwolf, although if Jim Butcher is to be believed, they’re more often belts than necklaces.
You think that Gargoyles could appear as a playable world in Kingdom Hearts?
you mean if we ever get kingdom hearts?
TheVeR01 Well, technically if possible for kingdom hearts 3 or if there's any other installments after that.
Eoghan Feighery hoping its in 3 most likely not though
Gargoyles was cool enough to have an entire storyline dedicated to it in a spin-off (if Square and Disney are smart enough about handling it).
I kinda doubt it. It is, after all, a Japanese company making it, and while they do have a lot of Disney over there, I really doubt they had Gargoyles. Or if they did, it wasn't very popular.
I loved watching this growing up! Right along side Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man. Good times...
"A gargoyle doesn't wine, HE ROOOOOAAARRS!!!!"
This sounds so klingon. Well Michael Dorn voiced Coldstone and that Minotaur
That is one of my favorite Goliath lines of all time.
I had the biggest crush on Goliath. I can't believe it only went for 3 seasons!
Emily Marie Same! He and Rufio were my first crushes
Emily Marie season 3 was garbage
I agree it deserves more then just 3 season and you can help bring it back by going to change.org bring back gargoyles
The real tragedy of Demona is how she can’t see that she’s guilty of many of the same crimes she judges humans for. Or that much of her pain is 100% her own fault.
Goliath: "You are trespassing." Still one of my favorite lines. 2:09
Looking back on it, Gargoyles reminds me of Batman the Animates Series in terms of animation and the story especially with the difference in ideologies between Goliath and the female gargoyle reminds me of Prof. X and Magneto respectively
yes, I'm sure that the success of WBs Superman and Batman animated played a huge part in the creation of the show
@@goldenage you should check when they were released
Batman animated '92-'95
Superman '96-2000
Gargoyles '94-'96
@@goldenage uh superman came after. You got me with batman though.
I think both shows were drawn on black paper is part of why the aesthetic is so similar. Wish more shows would do that as it looks gorgeous. Also similarly awesome soundtracks
another favorite moment of mine is magus's death. after taking care of the gargoyle hatchlings for 1000 years, rasing them, loving them, being a father figure to them he still felt that guilt from his mistake way back. until he layed on his death bed where goliath said he owed him a debt to wich magus responded: but i cursed your clan.
i loved how goliath shuck his head as a way of saying: that's all in the past. you've redeemed yourself. while he said outloud: you saved my children. where magus finally let go of his guilt. i just love how this show explores redemption.
When this show does redemption, it does it really fucking well.
That episode where the traitor guy and the guy he died with being ghosts and fucking with Goliath, trying to take his life force to bring them both back is another example. The traitor then heel turned and my god the line he said in response to the other guy being pissed got me good.
"No, I wasn't mad at him. I was mad at MYSELF!"
And then moving on after reversing the effects, letting Goliath live, and apologizing for what happened...ough, I love it.
My mom came in to see what I was doing, so I went to show her #6 because I was on it and she just squeals like 10 year old "GARGOYLES!!". She didn't see the title, my search, or anything in the recommended bar. She just saw a small blurry Xanatos and lost it. It was probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen her do.
Awww 😊
5:30, #4 now that was a spell to open someones eyes, yet seconds later she went back on all of it, “no it’s all the humans fault.” Demona has a serious Magneto complex.
J South to me it’s when “ he says “give me that book!” And she says “you must trust me” “ I was a fool to trust you!!” Oh man gets my heart racing lol
The Man 316 Sorry when I click the time he's saying "What's happened I thought the spell was supposed to open his eyes"
Funny you should say that, because the show's creators have admitted drawing heavy inspiration from Magneto when they were creating Demona's personality.
@@ClawsAndTeethwell her inspiration was clear and well picked
there were SO MANY great moments on this show. G+E dancing as Belle and the Beast during the halloween parade, Goliath vowing to avenge Elisa and damn near killing Dracon, the Eliza/Xanatos Goon Squad chase scene in the park, Eliza going undercover as a dirty cop, G+E calling out X for always having a backup plan, I could go on forever :-)
One of my favorites was when Eliza was shot by Brooklyn. While it’s obviously supposed to be a PSA for kids to not handle a gun, but it also still treats the characters like actual people and allows them to develop.
It was Broadway the Gargoyle who loves food and has fin like ears that accidentally shot Eliza not Brooklyn the gargoyle with white hair and a beak.
Overall it was done in an even handed manner, aside from the ‘it just went off’ BS, firearms don’t ‘just go off’, the trigger has to be pulled for the gun to fire, Broadway pulled the trigger, he is at fault for that, but Eliza is equally at fault for not properly securing her handgun when she’s not carrying.
This story has so many Shakespeare references. There's even one scene in the World Tour arc, where Eliza quoted from Hamlet, "There are more things on heaven and earth than are dreamt in your philosophy."
Plus, Macbeth was my favourite character in the series.
Hol' up hol' up! LOL Love this list! BUT FOUR moments I am SHOCKED are not on this list; A) When Goliath and Elisa meet on a rooftop the second time and Hudson tags along (same scene he gets his new name) and watches them unknowingly flirt with one another and they look back at Hudson and Hudson is giving them *THE* SASSIEST "Bitch Please" look. LMFAO! B) (I am SHOCKED this wasn't #1) When Elisa falls off the castle the first time and Goliath saves her- AND then choses to save her AGAIN when she AND Demona fall the second time off the castle and Goliath saves Elisa, not Demona. Finally C) (a moment I have heard NUMEROUS times where fans first KNEW this show was "SOMETHING SPECIAL"- Scotland, 1994. Xanatos goes into the ruins of Castle Wyvern and tells Owen to get the excavation started ASAP and Owen says no one will help because locals think it's haunted..."You know the answer to that, Owen. Pay a man well enough, and he'll walk BAREFOOT into Hell...". The moment little kids heard a Disney cartoon say a "swear word" like "Hell" lol they KNEW this show was THE SHIT :D Oh and D) When Puck gives Demona what she wants and lets her feel the warmth of the Sun for the first time...as a human :D
I can't explain the range of emotions I just hit reading your comment. You're list hits most of my favorite moments; and I say most because there are so many. Nice to see someone else appreciates it the way I do. =D
OMG YES. When I was a kid, I couldn't appreciate Hudson. I was all about Demona and Brooklyn. Now that I'm grown, Hudson gives me life!
You got it! This and the original dragonball were the main things I watched as a kid. Sadly we went from this and batman/superman to spongebob ect. I still watch anime like dr stone and deathnote but it would be great if western cartoons recaptured stuff like gargoyles and fox Xmen.
Life lesson still true 30 years later
SHUT... UP...30 years????
Uh... 1993 substrates from 2019 equals 26
25 years today...it came out in fall of 94. Lol.
"They are magic, but you can't burn them Goliath! You can't! It's Merlin's life, in his own words! When you read them, they take you there. It is magic Goliath! Precious magic!" -- Broadway, 'Lighthouse in the sea of Time'
Makes me tear up every time
Jabba2089 I loved that episode too but to me it’s Robins dialogue at the end that does it for me it ends with “books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time”
I saw the movie and loved it in an instant,I think Gargoyles wasn't marketed and advertised very well in the '90s resulting to its low ratings...too bad I couldn't find any dvd/BD copy of the movie and tv series,this could have been a great collection for me.
kirby march Barcena I thinks it's like 10 dollars on Amazon
Hot Chocolate With Luna No Amazon here in the Philippines yet
All the episodes are on kisscartoon.
kirby march Barcena I found DVDS from the first two seasons at Walmart.
Surprisingly, The Disney Store sells all three seasons on their online shop.
People throw the term underrated around a little too easily. Just because something is not overrated, does not mean it's automatically underrated. Gargoyles was a huge hit that every kid loved during it's run and tons of people remember fondly. It has never faded into obscurity and practically nobody will disagree that it was a great show. What about that says "Underrated"?
Love this video, though I'll be honest I wish you had included "I've been denied everything. EVEN MY REVENGE!" God that line was so amazing and Keith David's delivery was even better.
Xanatos: Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into hell.
Only thing wrong: needs more demona but hey she was one of my favorite characters. Awesome countdown man.
I'd add the battle against Oberon in defense of Xanatos' newborn son. Between Grandpa Xanatos shooting Oberon with a HARPOON GUN and Puck explaining his part in things while smacking his king around, it was a brilliant conclusion to the conflict between Xanatos and Goliath.
Gargoyles had sweet character design. Forgot about this gem.
Just stumbled across this today. Good collection of clips. But, the show was so much deeper than just these scenes. It was a damn good show during the first two seasons.
My favorite scene is still Tony Shalub, as the Amir, arguing with Death over the loss of his son. Gave me goosebumps.
I love how the show took a more mature view of tropes common in animation of the day.
For example, on the trope that male-targeted animation would always use "laser guns" rather than those that fired bullets:
Elisa: "What was in those crates?"
Xanatos: "The latest in non-projectile particle beam technology"
Elisa: "Non-projectile? You mean like lasers?!"
Xanatos: "Actually, the laser is just framing. The particle beam itself is invisible."
Xanatos was in prison at that time, Elisa was talking to Owen.
One of my favorite and underrated wtf moment was Xanatos' Right-hand man Owen being revealed to have been Puck all along. It was so unexpected for me but made crazy sense when he explained.
Of all the TV shows and movies that are getting rebooted, this really needs to be one of them.
I was really young when this was on so I didn't watch too much of it. I did watch much later on and I loved it.
I must have rewatched that kiss between Goliath and Elisa so many times... and I got a kick out of hearing familiar voices from Star Trek Next Generation (Xanatos = Riker, Demona = Troy, and I think more). I have seen the series on DVD, and will eventually add it to my collection...
Chelsea Deanne Data was the voice of Puck.
Missing Micheal Dorn (Lieutenant Warf) as both Coldstone and Taurus.
Outside TNG, you also have both captain's Cisco and Janeway contributing their voices as well
Was an amazing show...top notch animation, fantasy, sci-fi, mythology, the paranormal all wrapped in one remarkable package, and great voice work; Kieth David has great charisma, and loved all the Star Trek stars showing up ^_^ Always hoped this world would end up in Kingdom Hearts but oh well ;) It's fondly missed.
Adults could watch this and be entertained. This is better than some of movies out there even as a show
wow gargoyles !! I loved this show so much it was incredible Thanks for making this vid
I would love to see this series brought back similar to how they did X-Men ‘97. This show was one of the great classics of the 90’s, alongside Batman TAS, X-Men TAS, Spider-Man TAS, etc…
There was soo much beauty in this show
2009: "psh Gargoyles? You grew up watching THAT nerd shit?"
2019: "Gargoyles was so dope bro omg"
I just want to say, Gargoyles was never under-rated. It was highly praised at the time and had a devoted fan-base of all ages and still does today. It just got forgotten over time in favor of other franchises that seem to stay around a lot longer than they need to.
Unless you mean "it's an amazing show, and it's still under-rated", then OK, sure, I'll take that :)
Very cool. Don't recall this show, but, glad you do.
Gargoyles was under rated .... What's next? You tell us water is wet
Holy shit water is wet?! Since when?
There was a reason they only showed it to "late night" kids. Those that were able should push or fund a PROPER remake.
Late night kids? This was part of Disney Afternoon.
Well later on maybe but this aired on weekday afternoon. Sadly now that Disney owns Marvel they have no need for a marvel contender.
The Broadway/Eliza gun episode was rather well done (aside from the ‘I was playing with your gun and it just went off’ rationalization, no, Broadway, YOU pulled the trigger, a gun doesn’t ‘just go off’ for no reason) both of them took responsibility for their actions, Broadway for playing with a dangerous weapon, Eliza for not safely storing her handgun.
Back when shows were good and had meaning.
what about Steven Universe and... let me think
bojack horseman
Andres Marrero Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, the new Ducktales has some deep moments, Avatar & Legend of Korra were badass, Dragon Prince carries on the Avatar legacy, Trollhunters is pretty hardcore, Voltron had its moments before it self-destructed, the list goes on.
@@ztslovebird exactly dont let nasalgia blind u
So true
One of my favorite scenes was when Hudson tells the king he wished he wouldn't tell the Princess that they would eat her if she misbehaved. The series was an excellent show with good writing and one Easter Egg in the series was when it was Halloween and the Gargoyles are roaming around freely and Alicia is with Goliath and she's wearing the same gown as Belle wore in Beauty and the Beast; think they're suggesting something here?
Bruh gargoyles got so deep at times. Also taught me not to mess with guns...wish they'd do a reboot or something. Heck. Even a live action movie.
It is the nature of human kind to fear What they do not understand. :- Goliath
That's deep 🙏
Ah, Gargoyles. Without question one of the best shows Disney brought out. I would love to see this show make a comeback.
rdphoenix07 its on dvd.
Still waiting for a live action movie!!!!
3:07 I think that is one of the few times in the series that Xanatos expressed true shock.
I vaguely remember this stuff from my childhood. Wanna watch all of it now. Looks better than a lot of current fantasy trope stuff.
This series was my favourite in my childhood. I will never forget the exitement when the intro started!
Intense. I always liked this show as a kid. It's apparent that the creators of this cartoon strived to teach a deeper lesson to its viewers.
Between X-Men and Gargoyles taught you some serious life lessons.
The animation is really smooth..
Augh! My feels! It's my childhood here, and these scenes are as excellent now as they were back then.
By far one of the greatest cartoons ive ever saw as a kid And 2 be honest i still watch every single episode wen i can life lessons can be learned in this cartoon i believe
If these episodes were played in order, this would officially be one of the Best videos on TH-cam.
Gargoyles is nothing short of a masterpiece. Pure and simple.
Second and I really think this show might come back
You guys do realise the creator wants to work on it right, besides this show is forever in limbo just like Dave the Barbarian
I don't think I'd want to see more unless they do a reboot and avoid where it started heading towards in the last season of the series.
Dave the barbarian is not that great. its funny but the slap sticks coming from just feels… bland. i mean it have worked if it continued during its time on air but its not gonna be as funny to todays standards.
TheGoblinKingKnownAsPonyBoy Dave the Barbarian was hilarious!, whatever happened to it?
I've been feeling the same thing ever since I finished the series for the first time. One of the best cartoons i've ever seen.
Imagine if Disney decides for their Disney+ Streaming Service they put this then they make a great new remake of it.
One of the BEST shows EVER!
I always got Batman: TAS vibes from this series and that is a great thing!
I miss this show so much! Wooooooh!!!
me too.
I do too and you can help bring it back by going to change.org. bring gargoyles back
WHY DO WE NOT GET SHOWS LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
Creatures of the night in 90s : Gargoyles
Creatures of the night now : teen wolf
Because somewhere along that line we've gotten too soft, too sensitive, and too easily offended to get an awesome well thought out animated show like this
@@Matkaizer08 Can you tell me a single thing offensive with Gargoyles?
@@konnosx1213 There's nothing Offensive at all I'm saying that in our society today folks will find anything and everything "Offensive" and if there were a show just like this they would pitch a bitch about
@@Matkaizer08No, that's a distraction from real issues. Capitalism demands high profit and low production. Why spend money on good writers, animators, and voice acting when mediocre sells just as well? As consumers, we should stop paying them for mediocrity and demand quality.
This show came out a bit before I was born but wow it’s iconic I wish they kept it going this show teaches to love those whom love you and to build relationships it’s just incredible man
We need something like this today.
I used to watch this when I was REALLY young! I miss shows like this...
I only saw this show when I was in Middle school. It was my favorite show to look up on TH-cam. It was more than a cartoon...it was a great spirit of heroism and adventure. Thank you for making this list.
Love everything about Gargoyles, even the Goliath Chronicles. Truly a show everyone could learn from.
Oh the memories! I would watch this with my mom as I sat on her lap. I'm a geek like my mother before me. Lol and I have the movie on VHS still.
Underrated implies that it was rated poorly, and I'm pretty sure that it wasn't. It was great then and it's great now.
Gunman610 well to me it didn’t get the attention it deserved I mean everyone remembers Power Rangers for example but not many would remember Gargoyles in detail I mean granted it’s not the most unknown high quality show but it deserved more recognition
Gargoyles was underrated in the sense it wasn’t fully appreciated by the masses for how great it was when it was on the air.
The thing is that back in the 90’s cartoons were basically weekly or daily toy commercials. Gargoyles I think failed in the branding and marketing. There were toys and lunch boxes, but I remember even my parents getting wrapped up in the Satan Scare of the time and wouldn’t buy me the toys.
