Featured Article
"Future Tense" is the fifty-sixth televised episode of the series Gargoyles, and the forty-third episode of Season 2. It originally aired on April 25, 1996. It is a popular episode among fans and is known for its non-stop, astounding revelations and foreshadowing of future events. The episode also features beautiful animation and amazing voice acting.
"Future Tense" is set at the end of the Avalon World Tour as Goliath wishes to return home, although most of the action takes place in a bleak alternate future in the year 2036. Xanatos has conquered Manhattan and he oppresses the inhabitants from his high-tech Eyrie Pyramid. A resistance led by an older Brooklyn seeks to end Xanatos' tyranny. The episode was inspired by "Days of Future Past", a seminal story from X-Men comics. A visual of the destroyed Statue of Liberty was also inspired by the famous scene from Planet of the Apes.
Although Goliath's return to Manhattan in "The Gathering" ensures that this alternate future will not happen, it remains unclear how many elements will eventually come to pass. Some elements (such as the destruction of the Clock Tower) have already occurred, but others have not. Allusions to the episode have appeared as recently as "Bash", and repercussions such as the fate of the time-travelling Phoenix Gate were also addressed in "Phoenix". (more...)
Welcome to GargWiki, the Gargoyles wiki.
The purpose of the GargWiki is to hopefully be used as the ultimate reference tool for the animated series Gargoyles, as envisioned by Greg Weisman. As such, the primary focus of the wiki is the first two seasons of Gargoyles and the new comic book being published by Slave Labor Graphics, in the Canon category.
Over the past decade, Greg Weisman revealed many secrets and plans he had for the Gargoyles Universe including spin-offs and new characters. Entries on these revelations are located in the Canon-in-training category.
Some entries contain text written in BOLD TYPE, for clarification purposes, this is for easy distinction in a primarily Canon entry between what is Canon and what is still Canon-in-training.
Finally, the Apocrypha category is dedicated to non-canon Gargoyles material, such as The Goliath Chronicles, the Marvel Comic, the Disney Adventures comic and the Sega Genesis videogame.
