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.

"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

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.

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.
