A Gargoyles reboot is officially on the way. Months after a report suggested Kenneth Branagh could be helming a live-action reboot of the cult classic animated series, a new trade report says a live-action series is, in fact, in development at Disney+. While it doesn't appear that Branagh is working on it, the series has a pair of monstrous names attached. Gary Dauberman has been hired to write, showrun, and executive produce the series alongside James Wan and his Atomic Monster banner.

Oh look another franchise to resurrect from the dead to churn out soulless live action garbage to appease the shareholders thirst for more subscribers.

Go write an original fucking story already Hollywood ya hack.

    Franchise, really? Throwing that word around pretty loosley now aren't we? It was 1 show that ran for three seasons and still has fans after 29 years.

    What made it a franchise? Is every cartoon a "franchise" now because there could be merchandise? No, find something actually criticize or fuck off.

    It’s now a media franchise with it being multiple shows and a comic.

    Or I could have use a different word like intellectual property, license or whatever terminology that won’t trigger stupid fans.

    What I’m criticizing is the scraping of the barrel for stupid live action adaptations to squeeze any money left from dead IPs.

    Enjoy a show or franchise and move on. You don’t have to volunteer to get strapped into the nostalgia money sucking machine every time they resurrect a dead horse to flog.

    So you should be allowed to throw whatever buzzwords you feel like at it? Fuck off, if you can express actual critique for it fine, but just "boo-hoo I hate franchises" is a useless addition to any discussion about it.

    “A media franchise, also known as a multimedia franchise, is a collection of related media in which several derivative works have been produced from an original creative work of fiction, such as a film, a work of literature, a television program or a video game.”

    And this is not a collection of shit. It is one show. Judging by your comment history though you're fucking insufferable. Take a block and go be miserable elsewhere no one cares about your whiny ass opinions.

    You must be special. It’s literally now two shows and a fucking comic. They made it into a franchise by making a live action version and a comic derived from the original animation.

    Judging by this interaction you’re a moron.

    Edit: ah crap, I just got baited by a debate pervert, didn't I?

    A dense little stan aren’t ya. Intellectual property actually means something. It’s not a buzzword. It’s a legal term.

    In terms of other criticism. There is literally nothing released. There is no other aspect available to criticize besides it being another property rehashed to milk fanboys.

    No trailers with bad cgi and horrible live action character designs, no promo shots of the actors in horrible costumes, no word on Keith David returning.

    You’ll get all that criticism and more from this soulless garbage of a cash grab in time. Just like every other fucking dumb remake.

    Now stop defending capitalism, run along and play hide and go fuck your self elsewhere.

    Franchise was the word you're misusing, dumbass. I don't even care about the show. It could be literally be a reboot of anything, but it's not a fucking franchise. Words have meanings.

    Which I corrected when I clarified in my response. Yet your mong ass doubled down after being told that I meant intellectual property.

    It could be a reboot of any IP and it would still be a hollow cash grab to exploit fandoms.

    Words have meanings and you’re a fucking imbecile.
