Talk:Gargoyles (TV series)

External links

There are a number of links in the "External links" section which lead to various pages on the same sites, specifically, www.s8.org/gargoyles and www.gargoyles-fans.org. I'm not familiar enough with the sites in question to determine if all of those links are noteworthy enough to have linked here, though I think some pruning may be in order.

Separate pages for the main characters, entry expansion, and other things.

I posted this in Broadway's page in response to the merging question.

I believe these characters have more than enough material and personality individually to warrent making them their own pages...connected to the main page ofcourse.

Judging by this series' immense popularity that has stood the test of time...as well as the fact these characters go through quite a bit of character development, Much more than your average western animation character...I think if someone is willing to help me we should make profiles for the more prolific characters of this series and maybe one page to minor or one shot characters. Pictures, table of contents to connect all the pages together...the whole deal.

The page is already full of content..but by giving the major characters pages and organizing the more minor characters onto single pages..perhaps we can slowly get rid of some of these red links and maybe organize the page a little better.

I'll slowly start putting together some pages...uploading some pictures and accuratly um.."Remembering" the information about each character..but if someone is willing to help me out please say so on any of these discussion tables.

Also..there's a lot of mythology, artifacts, and more intricate plot details that could also possibly get a listing on their own sub page as well. There's a lot that can be done with this show in particular.

Gargoyles has an enormous following, and is a wonderfully crafted show that I think deserves a great multi layered entry on Wikipedia.

Can anyone provide a reference to where it was stated that the new comic will have its "first issue released in December 2005 or January 2006"? I know the AskGreg site mentions the possibility of this happening, but I haven't run across anything this definite. --Matthew0028 10:05, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

appropiateness?

The unusual romantic subtext between Goliath (a gargoyle) and Elisa (a human) was fodder for quite a bit of discussion on the Internet, particularly about its appropriateness.

I don't recall their relationship ever being considered controversal or innapropiate. --DrBat 12:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree, it doesn't really seem indecent. I mean..they're just two different...races...:D I don't know but unless there's an episode where they act real dirty to eachother that I can't remember (In other words..there isn't one) it seems just romantic.--Kiyosuki 00:45, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

title

Gargoyles is about to move from being primarily an animated series to a mixed-media franchise. Given that, I think it'd be more appropriate to give this article a title that didn't refer to a specific medium, but rather to the franchise as a whole. That having been said, I would hate an article title that read "Gargoyles (Disney franchise)". Would it be completely inappropriate to take over the page "Gargoyles" (which currently redirects to "Gargoyle" and use the name? skeeJay 17:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Using the page "Gargoyles" is probably unwise, though it would solve a lot of problems as you've mentioned. I would say "Gargoyles (Disney franchise)" is a bit long for an article title. Maybe "Gargoyles (Disney)" would be simpler? When the comic is released, it would be possible to create a new article for it, i.e. "Gargoyles (comic)". The two articles would be linked quite heavily, and that may not be preferable, but it is one possible solution. -- Supermorff 15:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I think that the "Gargoyles (comic)" article isn't such a bad idea. That's my vote.

Boxclocke - "!" 09:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

It's been a long time (six months) since I proposed it, but it's still my favorite idea: changing the title of the article to simply Gargoyles, eliminating that redirect but placing a prominent disambig at the top of the page leading to Gargoyle. Aside from this confusion about whether the plural of the word should lead to a different article, which may or may not be a good idea, we still need a plan. I see three options; 1) a main article for the franchise (e.g. Star Trek) linking to two separate articles, Gargoyles (TV series) and Gargoyles (comic); 2) just two articles, Gargoyles (TV series) and Gargoyles (comic); or a single article, like we have now (which is where removal of the [TV series] moniker from the article title would come in handy). Any thoughts? skeeJay 20:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it'd be very unwise to just use Gargoyles as the article title. Perhaps something along the lines of Gargoyles (Animated Series) would suit a bit better... either that, or the 2 articles idea would probably work best. NetStormer 01:25, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Ohhhh-kaaaay...

The fact that one person from Gargoyles was involved in an episode of Buzz Lightyear means very little. Copies, clones, and offspring having reversed names is actually fairly common in fiction, and tiny robotic insects are not really anything to write home about. I removed the Buzz Lightyear reference, I think it's grasping at straws. Master Deusoma 12:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• And I understand that, but the particular bits refered to Gargoyles concept of DNA sampling. You could have simply asked for a citation. You acted as if I left spam. [71.115.212.229] 8:39 PM, 19 June 2006

• • On a related note, there were parodies on Futurama and Freakazoid! too ^_^

Futurama and Freakazoid? Don't suppose you could give us a description... or a screengrab? Kingpin1055 17:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• I saw the reference on Freakazoid once, but I don't remember details. Danny Lilithborne 23:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I notice you guys have been commenting negatively on my contributions. I don't see other people getting citation notice when they neglect to name their source. Is because my info is hard to believe or that because I'm a newbie? If so, you guys need to cut your almighty attitudes or you might alienate others off this page.

You are welcome to add citation notices to other contributions that need them, of course. I don't know why they tagged yours, but it's not an insult, or even a request for you personally to cite them -- they just want to see some citations, perhaps because it's that interesting. If it were too hard-to-believe, they probably would have just deleted it. :-) About the references though: Your references appear to be to a search page. What searches will take one to the pages that should be cited? -- JHunterJ 10:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
