Gargoyles/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

*** Not to mention Derek trying desperately to hide his true identity from Elisa, establishing the ongoing subplot. {{spoiler|He slips almost immediately, and she realizes exactly who he is.}}

*** It's also the only episode which ever succeeded in making this troper outright ''hate'' {{spoiler|Xanatos}} and wish for his head on a pike.

* "The access code is...''{{spoiler|alone}}.''"

* The four-parter "City of Stone," with the flashbacks to Demona and Macbeth's origins and interactions.

* From the same saga, the [[Flash Back]] scene in which MacBeth must leave his family and country forever. It gets even worse when later on, it shows that his leaving did no good whatsoever and his family was still murdered.

** Specifically, the moments between Macbeth and Gruoch, his wife, as she goes from shock and horror at his resurrection, to happiness at his survival, to sadness that he's got to leave forever. Between the actors and the animation, it's gloriously heart-wrenching.

* The episode where Broadway is playing with Elisa's firearm, accidentally shoots her, and his resulting freak out.

* The Destruction of Goliath's clan.

** The tears start coming when Goliath returns to the castle in the pilot and sees the devastation, including what he thinks is Demona. He scoops up remains, chokes out 'My... angel of the night...' and then lets out the most heartbroken wail...

* No mention of how {{spoiler|The Gargoyles are revealed to the world at large... and thought to be a menace? Especially Angela's reaction}}

* The emir.

* From ''Bad Guys''. When {{spoiler|Tasha}} realizes that she will never return to normal and [[Driven to Suicide|hangs herself]]

* The Destruction of Goliath's clan in ''Gargoyles''

* When Fox's mother Anastasia {{spoiler|reveals her true nature as Titania, Queen of the Fey and wife of Oberon, and}} is describing her relationship with Fox's father, Halcyon Renard ... and dismissively states he was unable to hold her interest. {{spoiler|"Truthfully, no one can, save Oberon."}} ''Right in front of Halcyon'', after we've already seen (earlier that episode) how dismayed he was to hear she had remarried. ''Ouch''.

* Yeah yeah, I know we don't consider the Goliath Chronicles canon. But c'mon, who didn't shed a tear at the ending to ''Genesis Undone''?
