>secret order dedicated to hunting Gargoyles>has failed to kill one for over 1,000 yearsMeet Potential Antagonists!
In fairness, they have no way of knowing that the gargoyle they're hunting can only be killed by one specific person.
>>152041113Poor sport of Macbeth to not share that information with the crowd
>>152041113Yeah that's true. We don't know how many of them actually got close to killing or did kill Demona only for her to revive.
It's a rather silly premise, actually. You have to imagine probably after the first couple generations of members died off it degenerated into a social club that just liked to dress up in colorful costumes. Surely nobody after the first 70 or so years even believed in gargoyles.
>>152041398It'd make more sense if they hunted supernatural creatures in general. Like Oberon's Children for example since most of them are dicks. Except Odin though, he can stay.
>>152041113This was a Christopher Lee role if I've ever seen one
>>152041010okay but look at it another way: they're persistent!
>>152041398Due to their longer lifespans, surviving gargoyles kept being a commonish sight up to... what, the 12th century or so? After which point, yeahhhh.>>152041423Odin fucking ruled. I loved how Gargoyles always portrays the fay as they are in stories: complete assnuts... and yet also shows they're capable of learning to be decent people, given enough centuries.
>>152041485they actually wanted Patrick Stewart, but his people asked for too much money.Frakes and Sirtis offered to talk to him, but Weisman thought it'd be a bad idea to mix business and pleasure like that. What if he hates doing voiceover? What if he's miffed that he's not making enough money and loses interest? Now we have to recast Macbeth.turns out he fucking loved voiceover and eventually started doing a ton of it himself. He would have killed, but rhys-davies did too, so
did youse guys see Frakes and Spiner are doing a podcast? and they got a lot of people half-jokingly saying they're here for stories about Gargoyles, and then the channel actually put up a poll to see what people are most interested inokay, obviously Trek won, but Gargoyles was IN there. And one of the answers was "whatever you guys feel like talking about" which was obviously a vote-stealer.
>>152041485he's not exactly supposed to sound ancient, or all that spooky. in fact he's introduced as this mysterious hyper-capable mercenary and you wonder "why does he know how to handle gargoyles?"
>>152043554Gargoyles season 1 is probably my favorite because it was more urban than fantasy. Macbeth being a 1,000 year old king was such a weird reveal.
