I couldn't find this question anywhere but if I just missed it and it's there in the archives, feel free to ignore, so here it is....
In all the centuries that the Canmores were hunting Demona, did it ever occur to any of them that there was something strange about the fact that they were hunting the same gargoyle for centuries when gargoyles only have twice the lifespan of a human?(That's around 200 years right?)I know i'd think there was something odd going on.I mean, did they know she was immortal, or was this hunter thing something they followed blindly just because their ancestors did?
Thanks for your time, and the show.
They thought she (and all gargoyles) were demons. They didn't know about the half-speed aging thing.
1. Did Demona ever meet any other gargoyles/clans after the one she had when she was with MacBeth?
maybe
How does Demona feel about Oberon?
I'm not sure she's aware of him.
What does Demona think of human religions in general and in specific?
Mostly, she doesn't.
I was thinking recently about Demona and the Canmores/Hunters, and it dawned on me that it's a lot like the Montagues and Caputlets of 'Romeo and Juliet'. Both involve two 'families' battling each other over a past greivance, one whose cause unfortunately became lost in the past (for Gargoyles, it's some kid getting slashed in the face, and we never learn the cause in 'R&J'). In both, the drive for revenge becomes the driving force for keeping the feud going. It's kind of tragic that in both stories, something as low as vengence causes so much pain on both sides. So, was that intentional or did I just come across one of those universal themes?
Largely the universal theme thing. The obvious piece that's missing to make it truly parallel R&J is the young lovers. And I don't think that Jason & Elisa really fill those rolls, wouldn't you agree?
I was going to do a much more dead-on R&J riff in NEW OLYMPIANS with Terry Chung and Sphinx.
I've tried to ask this question before, but I guess it got wiped in some glitch. Gotta love these new fandangled machines, eh?
My question: Will Demona reform before or after...
1) Angela's death?
2) Goliath's death?
3) The Space Spawn attack?
4) Clan Manhattan's eggs hatch?
5) Gargoyles declared as endangered species?
6) Pigs fly?
Who says she reforms?
I said she starts to fight on the side of the angels. There's a difference.
Dear Greg,
Just read your Legion ramble...and I have to say this:
At the time when I first saw that Episode, I knew that Iago was trying to indicate that Goliath was betraying Othello with Desdemona, but I didn't understand why the credits listed the characters with such names. Boy was I naive.
A couple years later I was taking a Shakespeare class and read Othello. Can you imagine, about Act 2 somewhere we're reading it outloud and all of a sudden I say outloud: OH I GET IT. My friends thought I was insane. I had to give a quick explination for my outburst, which didn't help much to prove my sanity (none of them had watched Gargoyles).
Since reading the play Othello has become my favorite of the Shakespearian Tragedies (though I admit I have to read several more) And the Love "Pentagram" has become a delightful flavoring to the show.
I say Pentagram because I do believe that Demona would have been caught up in the whole mess. Especially given that Iago likens so well to the Shakespearian version. If he's going to ruin Goliath (and Othello as well) Then "In for a penny, in for a pound" Demona would have to go too. And probably the whole clan (including Hudson) probably would have been at Odds with Goliath thanks to Iago's whispering.
Which leads me to my first question:
1. Did the incident between Othello, Desdemona, Iago and Goliath occur before or after Goliath became leader to the clan? I ask because it strikes me that if after, Iago would not only try to win Desdemona, but Leadership as well.
2. Since Demona collected pieces of the shattered Iago to create Coldstone, we know he was banish from the clan. So what punishment was set upon Iago for causing such a clash between rookery brothers.
3. For that matter, would anyone have truely realized what Iago was doing, that he was responsible for it?
4. In City of Stone's flashback, we see Demona almost warning Othello and Desdemona about the upcoming attack. In one way, these two were used so that it wouldn't be just random gargs...But given the idea that Demona would have gotten tied up in the whole love scandal, it would seem Demona wouldn't exactly like Desdemona (even if the whole thing proved false; she's got trouble forgiving people) So why, in a character sense would Demona have gone to these two?
Well, I'm sure I had more questions along this topic, but I can't think of them after all that typing, so I'll let you get on with the other questions.
"So will I turn her virtue into pitch; and out of her own goodness make a net that shall emesh them all." -Iago (my fav quote from the play)
1. After.
2. He was banished for a time.
3. Eventually.
4. Well, first off because they were there. Also, back then, Desdemona was the closest thing Demona had to a sister. Once everything was resolved there was less hostility there then you are imagining... however, perhaps all that history DID play some >small< role in why she DIDN'T warn them.
Good quote.
Hey Greg. Here are some Demona questions: 1) How did she find out about the praying gargoyle statue? 2) About how much time has Demona spent in Paris since the end of season 2, including the time she spent there looking for the praying garg statue and the time she spent there with Macbeth and Thailog? (years? decades? a century or two?). 3) Will Demona return to Paris for any significant period of time in the future? 4a) Who told Demona about the Medicci tablet? 4b) What was the original purpose of the tablet's spell? 4c) Who made the tablet? 4d) I can't remember whether the tablet was shattered or not, but assuming it wasn't, can its spell be used again? e) If they haven't been destroyed, who now posseses the tablet and statue? 5) How did Demona know that the three items (virus/disinfectant, tablet spell and gargoyle statue) could be used together? 6)Over the centuries, Demona's done a lot of traveling. At the end of season 2, what do you think her favorite city is?
1. That's a story for another day.
2. On and off, quite a bit.
3. Maybe.
4a. That's a story for another day.
4b. To fulfill the spell-caster's desire.
4c. That's a story for another day.
4d. Yes.
4e. The statue was destroyed. The authorities wound up with the tablet.
5. She used her imagination.
6. I don't think she thinks that way.
And Vash, I'm sorry for my extreme reaction to your previous set of questions. I regret being so harsh.
Was Demona loosing her arm bracelet in HUNTER'S MOON a permanent thing, or would she appear in the next episode with it on?
Was that the only arm bracelet she had or does she have a whole drawer full of them?
She can get a replacement made.
Hi, Greg! I have a quick question for you -- why did Avalon send Demona and MacBeth to Paris? Goliath, Angela, Elisa, and Bronx were sent to Paris because of Demona and MacBeth. So, why were Demona and MacBeth there? Thanks!! :)
Thailog. And a need for them to confront each other one more time.
