    Do you think God stays in heaven because He too lives in fear of what He’s created?

    Gargoyles was soooo good. I watched it for the first time this year and I’m 38. It was just… insanely good.

      there were a few animated shows from back then that were aimed at children but didn’t talk down to them.

      x-men was like this also. some things were simplified, but characters were allowed to have complex feelings, motivations and relationships. that speaks to children way more than those tacked-on “and here’s today’s lesson, kids” sections ever did.

      more importantly it stood with them too. I’ve watched the x-men finale several times since my childhood, and as an adult it still makes me cry. literally every time I watch it, despite knowing what’s coming.
