Why hasn't the second half of season 2 of the Gargoyles been released on dvd?
Check the archives.
Why didn't the Magus just throw the Grimorum into the body of water the group was in before entering Avalon or burn it with a torch before entering Avalon, instead of forcing Finella to go into a life of hiding from Constantine and forcing Mary to do the same AND abandoning her son?
And, how could Mary just abandon her son like that? I mean, I've heard of the "Parental Abandonment" trope being used for the sake of good drama (and it did turn out to be good drama in Gargoyles), but I find it a little ridiculous that she believed that leaving her only son at such a young age was the best course of action.
Oh, and here's that trope if you're interested (I <3 TVTropes):

Destroying the Grimorum isn't that easy. And given that fact, the need to protect it and thus protect Tom from being attacked on Avalon by Constantine made Mary's decision necessary. It wasn't abandonment at all. It was her staking out a defensive position to protect her son.
Greetings from Finland!
Thank you for such a wonderful series!
I was just recently wondering:
Stone of Destiny speaks with voice identical to Dr.Claw, both voiced by Frank Welker. I was just wondering, what that something you and others decided to do, as some sort of homage to Frank,s other characters/admirers, or did he used that voice himself purposfully?
Frank chose the voice under the supervision of myself and voice director Jamie Thomason. I wasn't specifically aware that it was the same as his Dr. Claw voice. I don't know if either Jamie and/or Frank was conscious of the similarities or not.
1. While Kraven was stalking Spidey I noticed his spider-sense didn't go off. Is that an OOPS or what?
2. Is Kraven turning into an animal supposed to be similar to Puma? (look him up if you don't know who I mean)
3. May I suggest asking Robert Englund to play Carnage? He'd do a great job because Freddy Krueger's personality is a lot like Carnage's.
1. Stalking doesn't activate spider-sense in our show. As I've said before, Pete was bitten by a genetically altered spider, not a genetically altered psychic. We limited spider-sense in our series to incoming blows.
2. I know who Puma is, thank you.
3. Robert is already our Vulture. I'm not ruling out your suggestion, but I wouldn't want the voices to be too similar.
1. If you can't borrow Kingpin what crime boss will you use? Owl?
2. I heard something about Beetle and Boomerang being in SSM is it true?
3. You think you will use Morbius and Manwolf?
4. How heavily "toned down" does Carnage have to be to be in the show?
1. As of the end of Season Two, I couldn't use Owl either. But I've got plenty of crime bosses already.
2. Seriously, WHERE did you hear that? Or did you just make it up? Anyway, Beetle's currently unavailable: officially he's not a Spidey villain. I'd have to check on Boomerang.
3. No comment.
4. How heavily toned down did you want him to be?
And just curious? Is there one question above that I haven't already answered? Let's check the ASK GREG Archives.
Hmmm... Nope. All been answered before. Some of them multiple times.
I think it's safe to say that the public was comfortable believing that the gargoyle sightings up to the end of "The Edge" were just robots being tested (or whatever) by Cyberbiotics or one of those Xanatos-owned companies. (That or a promotional stunt. I'm guessing this is left up to interpretation unless you want to clarify...)
So, was this still the cope out for reassurance that the public and the media used when the gargoyles were seen after "The Edge" up to when gargoyles became accepted as "real"? (I'm guessing this would be around the time when the Quarrymen were formed.)
Aided by coverage in the Daily Tattler, they became urban myth.
I have some questions considering the censorship of Spectacular Spider-Man. I don't think they will reveal any spoilers (I hope not). If they do, then you don't have to answer them.
1) Can you get away with Carnage being a serial killer in the show?
2) Can you get away with Morbius being a vampire that bites people and drinks blood in the show?
3) Can you get away with someone like Morlun in the show?
4) Can you get away with someone dying?
5) Did you keep Norman alive because you weren't allowed to keep him dead or did you keep him alive for the future?
1-3. Hasn't come up yet.
4. Yes. We already have.
5. Why would I kill off Norman?
"Vic Cook and I will be signing promotional postcards and talking about MECHA-NATION, our new comic book series (with Greg Guler and Antonio Campo). This was a project that was seen at a couple of Gatherings and was previously announced with SLG. Unfortunately, SLG had to bail, but the good folks at APE scooped it up. "
Hi Greg,
I realize that SLG has been good to the Gargoyles fandom, and that you seem to have a great working partnership with them. That said, while I don't want to disrespect SLG or anything like that, if they can't make continuing Gargoyles financially feasible, is there any chance that the comics might be able to continue at APE?
I don't know if Ape is interested, but I KNOW SLG is. So what's the point of jumping ship -- even hypothetically -- now?
Hi, Greg.
I must say that âThe Spectacular Spider-Manâ is the best superhero show Iâve ever seen. I totally love it. But I have two questions about it that has been sort of bugging me lately.
In Season 1 episode âInterventionâ, after Peter rejects the symbiote, he returns it to Connorsâ laboratory and tries to kill the alien by freezing the camera where itâs held. Eddie Brock sees him doing this and is enraged, because by killing the alien, Spider-Man destroyed his last chance to get back his job and thus his education in college. But less than a minute later, it turns out that the symbiote is unharmed and itâs actually fine. My question is â" why did Brock had to free the alien and bond with it in order to pursue vengeance against Spider-Man? I mean, since it turned out that it was apparently alive and healthy, why couldnât he just leave it in the camera? He would have gotten his job back and everything would have been fine with his life.
And my second question. Spoiler alert!
In âFinal Curtainâ, the final episode of Season 2, the identity of the Green Goblin was revealed for real. He was (of course) none other than Norman Osborn and it turned out that Harryâs unmasking in Season 1 was a red herring meant to throw Spider-Man (and the fans :P) off. Back in Season 1, during his last fight with Spider-Man, Norman faked a leg injury before escaping and later he found Harry unconscious, dressed him up in the Goblin costume and injured his leg, so he would limp in front of Spider-Man. My question is â" why did he faked the injury in the first place? Did he knew before the fight with Spider-Man that Harry was laying unconscious back at home and planned to frame him as a back-up plan? Or did he found him when he came back after the fight? The latter doesnât make much sense, because in such case there was no explicit need to fake an injury, but still, I wonder.
Sorry, these are probably annoying questions whose answers are âJust because!â, but still, theyâre nagging me.
Fingers crossed for Season 3 happening. And 4, and 5, andâ¦
SPIDEY SPOILERS...
1. The "camera"? Anyway, Eddie heard the symbiote calling to him... and released it... pretty much in a semi-trance. At which point, it twisted his already semi-twisted thought processes.
2. He faked an injury with a plan to find a scapegoat later. Harry presented the perfect opportunity.
Hi Greg! I was reading an earlier post of yours where you mentioned that it's harder to pitch original ideas (I'm guessing to networks, but maybe it's the same with comics, books, etc...?) now than it was when you originally pitched Gargoyles:
1. Why is it more difficult to pitch original ideas now than it was then? (I would think they'd be anxious for new concepts???)
2. What's probably the #1 thing that the people being pitched to are looking for?
3. Is a successful pitch sometimes tied to the person you are pitching to? (I mean, if you're pitching to one guy on Tuesday, but had you gone on say, Thursday and had a different guy, could the outcome of the pitch be different? I guess I mean do you depend on getting lucky with whomever you're scheduled to pitch to? And if not, can you ask to pitch to someone else?)
Thanks! I hope my questions were clear enough to get across what I'm trying to ask. I'm thinking of writing professionally (IF I'm any good) and wondered how hard it would be to "pitch". Thanks again! (Love your work by the way.)
1. They're not. They're afraid of new concepts and would rather have something that's "proven" in some other medium or era. This, in my opinion, is a direct result of the vertical integration of these companies that makes the decision making process a long uphill struggle.
2. It differs all the time, but marquis value doesn't hurt.
3. Luck-of-the-draw and incidental timing are huge factors.
