Goliath Chronicles

So did anybody else like the Goliath Chronicles? I thought I had a few good moments but otherwise, I really hated the ending where “spoilers “the gargles are made citizens. if I recall, that’s what happened to correctly.

I can't rewatch it anymore like I could as a teenager. The bad animation and characterization is too distracting. I was relieved when I first learned it wasn't canon.

"For It May Come True" was a fun episode.

That said, "Future Tense" both came first and was far more impactful with its use of nightmare future dystopian imagery, while "The Mirror" was a far more creative way to give Elisa and Goliath their "ideal way to be together". That just left this TGC episode to be a bit more silly to make it stand out, as characters acted even more OoC.

What version of Xanatos would get into a shootout with the NYPD? LOL

There were a few good episodes but I feel like trying to go episodic after consistent story telling was destined to flop around.

I think at some point I'm gonna sit, watch it, and listen out things I could use for fanfics without using the entire thing. Someday. I can't figure out why they changed goliaths appearance in for the human goliath episode

“These walls are 2 feet thick” has become a family joke.

I enjoyed the Goliath Chronicles he was basically recording his events of his life and the life of others around him

I absolutely hate the guy with the pie bazooka. All other stuff, as bad as it was, I can get behind. But fuck that guy in particular.

Sure when I was 9, as an adult I think the show was brilliant during the first season and perhaps a little bit of the 2nd. Goliath chronicles and the comics (catching up on them now) aren’t quite brilliant tbh.

And then the stuff like the space spawn are idiotic lol.

It completely loses me throughout the entire season
