Gargoyles was just ahead of its time, we were so spoiled as children.
Goliath was out here badass Gargoyle chief, warrior, everybody’s dad, most excellent voice.
And then he sheds tears over losing his clan, losing his mate/wife (being betrayed), but not falling ‘out’ of love. But understanding she’d changed emotionally since the 1,000 years, and she wasn’t the same person mentally, and all that hardship changed Demona - but she was always a toxic person, and he had to come to terms with that.
Bad guys had redemption arks. Characters had a lot put on them, were forced to grow and mature faster than expected because they had no one else to put that burden on.
This show was wild.
Don't forget that our central human character was also a mixed race woman of color! For a 90s cartoon, and a Disney 90s cartoon, that was incredible!
