Folks got no respect for animation anymore. Every shortcoming excused with how much money it costs for live action to achieve what animation does naturally. Assuming its a series, they wont have the budget for CG main characters, itll be a compromise of costume and practical effects played off as being 'more realistic' to excuse the more mundane character shapes.

Keith David is still a working voice actor.

Don't fuck this up.

Why is Disney obsessed with remaking everything “live action” we love Disney for their animation, they’re good at animation! Is live action cheaper or something?

Oh look another franchise to resurrect from the dead to churn out soulless live action garbage to appease the shareholders thirst for more subscribers.

Go write an original fucking story already Hollywood ya hack.

I just canceled D+ after getting an email that my price is doubling next month.

They are going to have to pump out more than an few live action remakes to make it worth the cost

Conceptually it looks like the right people have been hired. I do hope we can get our original voice actors back, specifically Keith David. I'd love to see Frakes and other humans, but if this is a full reboot you'll probably need to recast (but a cameo or different character for sure.)

My concern would be Disney not giving this show time to grow. While a darker "kids" show, I expect the primary audience to be much older. We don't need to be R rated, but they should lean into that darker tone. I also wouldn't expect this show to be a big hit, this'll be a slow roll. They've given shows like Andor that freedom, but as a "new" IP Disney may be more reserved.

...fuck it, I'm down. Gargoyles was the shit growing up; worse case scenario, the new one sucks and we put something else on.

Edit - Maybe do a movie though? Kinda feel like stretching this out over an entire season is gonna give us like an hour of actual content, and a loooooooooot of filler.

You know what, I'm going to watch the original gargoyles. Through other means because I ain't paying for plus.

oh no

Sigh...alright, they can give it a shot. Personally, I see no reason to do a reboot of this series. Things ended quite well in Season 2 of the original, and I'm happy with what I got.

Hopefully its decent. Personally I would rather an animated reboot, but I imagine theyre going live action to target an older audience.

Lately Ive kind of taken a bit of an indifferent approach to the onslaught of remakes, sequels, and series coming back from cancellation years later. If it's good it's good and thats neat. If not meh, I dont have to watch or engage with it and hopefully it dies a quick death. I kinda wish that Hollywood would focus more on new and original ideas instead of their focus on sequels, IP, and reboots, but that's not going to change anytime soon.

At least Gargoyles has been off the air for about 30 years so it's not like theyre beating a dead horse here. If done well it could be interesting and would be very possible to provide a fresh take. That said it being live action doesnt leave me feeling optimistic.

A lot of big names attached to working on this which is great, but I still hope some of the original writers can get on this. If no one else, I'd at least like to see Greg Weisman involved.

I know Greg's working on the comics but ultimately I'd love to see him able to finish the original animated series too.

just leave it in the ground ffs

I wonder how they're gonna tackle the gun episode lmao.

I vote Steven Segall as David Xanatos. Eddie Murphy as Goliath, and Fran Drescher of SAG-AFTRA fame for Demona. It could work.

Mmmmm Content®. I sure do love Brand™. My favorite thing about Property© is all the Merchandise™ I can buy related to it.

Seriously, I loved Gargoyles as a kid. I loved the animation style and I loved the darker subject matter that I as a kid got to experience. As an adult, I have no use for another CGI filled paint-by-numbers show with milquetoast stories and hours of filler. And I sure as heck have no desire to give Disney any more money to support it.

Sorry for the grumpy pessimism.

Fuck! I hate Disney live action. But I really really want to see a live version of gargoyles. Fuck.
