Gargoyles was amazing and strangely enough got me more interested in the Arthurian legend.

> Dungeons & Dragons
Specifically he was one of the writers on “The Dragons Graveyard”.
For those who haven’t seen it, it’s an episode where the kids finally conclude that they will never get home so long as Venger (the main villain) keeps stopping them. So they decide to kill him.
The staff had to fight for the network to let them air it. The idea at the time in kids shows was that characters could react to violence, but never initiate it. Nowadays this kind of plot is pretty common, but back in the day this was breaking bold new ground.

That sucks. I loved Season 1 and had just signed up to catch that, Ted Lasso, and some other shows. Going to cancel and re-up when that comes out.

The audience applauding when he asks if they’ve seen the documentary is the icing on the cake. Because you know he’s about to trash it lol.

With the exception of The Dark Knight, I think Mask of the Phantasm was actually the best Batman film made.

Reply to comment by Volcano_Tequila in How much (or little) do you value the importance of awards shows like the Emmys? by unitedfan6191
On the flip side of awards nominations and wins keeping talented people engaged, would you say it’s the opposite effect for many talented people who just miss out or just completely snubbed? By not getting nominations and wins, do you think many talented people will be more inclined to try film because they feel they’re not getting enough recognition in awards season?

Great storytelling; sealed the deal on a show that knew what it was doing and succeeded

While I get your point, I disagree with the interpretation.
> do something or have or show qualities worthy of (reward or punishment).
This is what deserve means, which I think is fair to say. What you're talking about is more so saying someone should have won instead.

And we've also seen what happens to "dark well-written" animated shows on Disney these days... The Owl House

Well there we go!
I almost dread mentioning a reboot because it will be a monkeys paw wish where we get teen titans go or adventure time style animation and the whole thing goes down the crapper

Was really good in the beginning, but Edward and his aunt have become such annoying characters IMO, I will watch til the end for the others.
