>>88126427well they mentioned their backstory and how the humans fought and drove them into hiding, so .. like, it's there.. it's just like, how'd you get from there.. to now?
to follow your example it's more like if garogyles showed the vikings killing most of them, then skipped the whole 'cursed for 1000 years then the castle was moved, breaking it' part. so you'd tune in and be like 'why are there 6 gargoyles left, unrelated (except two of them it turns out), and they still talk like this all just happened
gargoyles WAS inspired by gummi bears so some comparison is sensible
