It’ll sometimes randomly pop into my head that Xanatos’s first name is David. Fucking David and Goliath
How tf have I never made that connection?!
how did I never realize this?
I grew up thinking that “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” was from a speech from some historical figure, centuries ago.
No. It was literally Spock from TOS.
It was a speech from some historical figure, centuries to come.
Really? It’s not from some kind of treatise on utilitarianism? That seems unlikely
Ah yes, Spock from Trek of Stars.
That happened to me with Yoda lifting the X-wing out of the swamp and Luke saying “I don’t believe it.”
Totally thought it was from an age old tale about magic, but not after I rewatched the movies.
Will Riker is the evil Will Riker.
Did you not see the beard?
Arguably Thomas Riker is the evil one.
He also has a beard.
It’s all evil Rikers.
Apparently sideburns cancel out the beard.
I always feel weird about these, like that dril quote. Shakespeare, Hobbes, Dril, and the people who worked on gargoyles all share the same thing: THEY ARE WRITERS. They know how to write good. They got paid to write good. They built their lives around writing good. These amazing quotes like “face god and walk backwards into hell” don’t happen by accident, they are intentional creations by people who are doing their absolute best to write something memorable, and occasionally succeed.
I loved those old 90’s cartoons that didn’t try to make the themes and storylines not too dark and complex for children. Reboot, Gargoyles, Batman from what I can remember… there were others but I’m old and I can’t remember.
i think it’s the opposite. the best ones didn’t talk down to children and weren’t afraid to go to some darker themes, if the story would better be served as such, not for the sake of being edgy. that’s the difference between good 90s shows and the dumb cynical shit zack “having a moral code is childish” snyder comes up with.
x-men dealt with racism, terrorism, loss of family, abduction, all sorts of shit. it was never cynical though. had a strong moral code, was full of hope and love and heart. the finale still makes me cry multiple times.
Interesting writing aside, this was also the season Marvel outsourced animation to a tiny Filipino studio to save money during their impending bankruptcy.
yeah the animation quality was pretty mediocre, but magneto leaving his dream position to help his lifelong frenemy, and xavier’s farewell speech to the x-men… damn, they’re so good.
Rogue, unable to touch, yet look around you… You will find you have touched us all.
fuck, man.
“Silence, or you’ll be held in contempt of this court!”

Voice actors are the heroes we deserved all along.
I am now sad that we never got a TNG mirror universe episode.
Would mirror Riker be goatee-Riker or fullbeard-Riker
he beads the beard :D
Viking Riker. Viker, if you Will.
I’m now even MORE disappointed we never got this.
Haven’t read the series yet, but I’ve found enough gems to get my attention.
Swole Picard in particular:
Mutton chops Riker is Terran Empire Riker.
Handlebar mustache Riker.
Evil Riker plays the French Horn. Evilly.
Gargoyles is still one of my favorite animated shows ever. The Chronicles was not great.
Reminds me of spy kids 2 dropping one of the hardest lines of all time
Oh, what I would give for a proper HD remaster of Gargoyles.
So Thomas Riker?
