Avalon woulda been fine. I would have perferred they left Angela behind. But them being on tour for so long
Again, if it had been done in 2 weeks as planned, it probably wouldn't stick out so bad. Not quite as bad in syndication. Stretched out over 9 months, with only 1 new episode at random every couple weeks? It really sucked. Young Justive kind of hit the exact same thing, only reversed. There was SUPPOSED to be a gap between seasons 1 and 2, and there wasn't.
and only one or two eipsodes showing what the Trio and Hudson were even doing was awful for me. The other Gargoyles they encountered were okay…But I didn't really care about em.
A few of those eps were blatant spinoff bait, at Disney's request. And a lot of the villain regulars did manage to show up. It was just… the length of it. Along with several REALLY lousy episodes.
And Elisa, Goliath, Angela and Bronx were my least favorite characters.
Goliath and Elisa were the leads, Bronx hardly got any focus before then, and Angela was new. The idea was fine. But they probably should have alternated, an episode or two touring, one episode back in New York with the others. At least a 2:1, or 3:1 even. The 15:1 ratio was just… no. (alternately, any given member of the trio also going on the tour could have mixed it up by romancing Angela. Or Hudson going. Really, anyone that could speak would be better than Bronx, underused or not. )
At any rate…to stay on topic I guess. I'm just glad that I don't think I'll have those sort of feelings about Young Justice because I didn't get to develop a real fangirl thing for any of the cast, so people missing or development getting skipped over doesn't bug me as much.
The YJ split also came earlier in the series. Gargoyles only had a main cast of 7 heroes (and 3 or 4 regular villains) and didn't hit Avalon until around episode 40… YJ has been juggling nearly a dozen leads, their mentors, guest stars, dozens of villains, and been jumping aorund the world, and then did its big shake up 26 eps in. Its just... a lot more crowded.
