Hey,

Well, this question is about Mirror. Okay Elisa Maza looks like the actress that does her voice, in fact a rather amazing simularity given the fact that it is animated.

Anyway, when I met you, Jeff, Thom and Bill I noticed how much Thom looks like Lexington, once again a rather amazing simularity given the fact that the show was animated and Lexington is a gargoyle, but when the gargoyles turned human Lexington didn't look anything like Thom. Why was that? I mean I can understand Broadway not looking anything like Bill considering that Broadway is fatter, but Lexington shouldn't have changed that much. I mean, when Lex was turned human he lost all that baby fat on his cheeks, Thom(amazingly enough)has still retained some if not most of his(Lucky dog).

Well, that's about it. Thanks for answering all these questions. It must get annoying when your asked the same question over and over again. If I have asked a question that some one else has already submitted, forgive me. I could not find it.

Greg responds...

Actually, we did model human Lex on Thom. (Maybe he was thinner then. You met him a few years later. But don't tell him that I said that.) We also tried to push Hudson, Goliath, Brooklyn and Broadway in as much of an Ed, Keith, Jeff and Bill direction as we could given the limitations set by what the individual gargoyles looked like.

And yes, Elisa was modelled on Salli.

At the time of "The Journey", was Bruno of the Goon Squad still employed by Xanatos?

Greg responds...

Probably.

Hello Greg,

The Cat here. Okay, I was watching a particular episode, though I can't remember the name of it right at this very moment, anyway. The episode had Wolf in it and it was right after the Avalon Tour ended. Wolf has Hakon, in a battle ax, with him. At the first part of this episode there is this Scotish police officer driving down the road.

I completely understand the use of artistic lisense, but I realized that since the officer was in Scotland that he was driving on the wrong side of the road and he had an American car. I looked around for a question asking about this but I did not find any. The question is, was this an accident or was it done on purpose?

Greg responds...

I don't remember.

In one of the episodes Demona points a lazer canonn at Goliath and Elisa runs at Demona to block the shought, then Demona ends up firing at one of the towers and causing both her and Elisa to fall down. Goliath saves Elisa but doesn't save Demona. How come Goliath didn't save Demona even though she was far enought from the ground?

Greg responds...

Goliath turned to save Demona after saving Elisa, but he could not see her for the wreckage perhaps. (In fact, Demona recovered enough to glide off.)

For a while I was a fan of the Files..so I have to ask this.

1.Does the clan like the X-Files?

2.If so what did they think of the gargoyle episode?

3.What does Matt think of Mulder?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did skim through the archives and I never found anything simular.

Greg responds...

1. Opinions vary.
2. Opinions vary.
3. I have this notion that Matt might not consciously see any parallels between himself and Mulder, and he might find Mulder annoying. Or maybe the reverse.

Has Disney copyrighted the "Gargoyles" method of visually depicting a gargoyle? If so, what actions you advise a person who wished to imitate this visual style to take? And if not, what would your advice be then?

Greg responds...

I'm not sure what you mean... but Disney owns the specific images presented in the series. Anything that you did (and tried to make money off of) that was extremely similar, would risk legal action from them. But they can't "copyright" winged creatures.

Hi, I have really enjoyed your ramblings, even though I haven't posted any of mine until now. Your "That's my ramble, where's yours?" line finally brought me to write one. :)

Avalon

After City of Stone, I was really looking forward to another multi-parter. It's quite amazing to me that with all the expectations, they never fail to deliver, even now.

Seeing Tom as the Guardian was quite a surprise. You almost never see characters age in cartoons. Seeing Tom go from the chubby cheeked little kid to an old man is quite a shock.

The middle age parts were excellent, as always. The transition from Wyvern to Edinburgh was very natural. It must have been the 4th or 5th time that the scenes right after the massacre. It's interesting to see it from different character's perspective each time.

The ending though was kind of a downer. I didn't like the fight between the characters too much, too cliched I thought. It seems strange that so much focus was put on Arthur, and then when he is awaken, he is just another foot soldier who fights Macbeth. Obviously Macbeth is a formidable character, but I was expecting something a bit more out of King Arthur, like taking on the archmage. Then that leaves Goliath who has to pull the eye of odin out of the archmage, which was kind of a bummer from all the focus on Archmage's powers.

The magus's death scene was really touching, one of the top moments in the show. I too wondered if he was really dead, but I figured that it was a way to leave it up in the air so as to leave for some creative wiggle room. I was very happy to read what you wrote on that subject. It put that subject to rest and was how I thought should be. Thanks.

Greg responds...

I'm glad most of it worked for you. Sorry some of it didn't.
