Gargoyles (Disney)

Gargoyles is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television and distributed by Buena Vista Television, and originally aired from October 24, 1994, to February 15, 1997.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A concept of the middle-aged monster heroes in the modern times, after the evil spell got broken, is very appealing.
 * 2) This show is not like any other Disney cartoon, that not even Darkwing Duck could accomplish. In fact, it's known for its relatively dark tone, complex story arcs, and melodrama; character arcs were heavily employed throughout the series, as were Shakespearean themes.
 * 3) Best animation, typical for Disney, but yet especially for the mid-90s.
 * 4) A show about Gargoyles is one thing, but having them around in modern day (at least when the show was released, like before, in the 90s) is more original. It also combines modern-day action and medievil action.
 * 5) Tons of memorable characters and villains, such as Goliath, Braodway, Bronx, Wolf, Talon, and Elisa Maza. The reason why is because, major or not, all of them have strong but yet easy to remember character development.
 * 6) It spawned a Sega Genesis-exclusive video game, which is very well-received.
 * 7) Even after the show's cancellation, it managed to get spin-offs as a form of comic books, such as Gargoyles: Bad Guys.
 * 8) On topic of WIR #3, the action is outstanding.
 * 9) All of the voice actors who are casted to their characters all seem to have the right characteristics to do so, especially Goliath.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The controversial "Deadly Force" episode was banned, which had a weird anti-gun message shoved into it and Elisa was shot onscreen, in a KIDS show.
 * 2) Season 3 wasn't the worst season, but rather weak. This is because ABC was in production of the show and not Disney.

Reception
The show was met with favorable reviews from critics at release, but soon gained a cult following after the show's cancellation, such as cosplays and fanart. It has an 8.1/10 on IMDb.

Trivia

 * The episode "Deadly Force" was the show's most controversial episode and was banned due to an infamous scene where Elisa was shot onscreen and an anti-gun message shoved into it.
