Gargoyles Live-Action Reboot Officially in Works at Disney+ (comicbook.com)

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.

It’s now a media franchise with it being multiple shows and a comic. Edit: Also a damn video game.

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?
