But, it's legacy will always live on in the hearts of those of us whose lives were touched by it and who will always keep a special place in our hearts for it. It could not compete commercially with Power Rangers, may they endure a thousand torments, and had to be cancelled. This is but one example of how the characters were developed and changed by events in the entire chronology of the series. Betrayed, hurt, and angry, Demona has dedicated her life to the destruction of humanity. The former love of Goliath, the leader of the clan of gargoyles that forms most of the central characters, Demona is an immortal gargoyle who was deeply hurt when her entire clan, save Goliath and his five friends, were smashed during their daytime sleep, during which they are stone statues. One example of this is the vengeful agenda of the main "bad guy" (quotes are around the term "bad guy" because in Gargoyles, no one was truly evil, with the possible exception of the non-Fox members of The Pack.) Demona. People died, trust was betrayed, central characters were changed forever by events in the story. In fact, to this day, I am certain that Gargoyles do exist because of the sheer realness of the show. Everything about it was pure genius on the part of the shows creator Greg Weisman. I don't think I will ever run out of praise for Gargoyles, nor have anything but. There will never be another one like Gargoyles, ever. A great plot that continued to grow characters that matured, lost innocence, and grew up simply beautiful animation, even better acting on the part of the voice actors and, most important of all, an absolutely original idea. No other word could possibly describe it.
