Xanatos for world dictator
TOTALLY RANDOM
We watched a lot of Gargoyles today and I just have to note that I find our protagonists to be adorably dumb. Yeah, Xanatos does some bad things to people, but the dystopian future that Goliath saw actually had absolutely nothing to do with Xanatos. It wasXanatos's evil AI crazy Lexington Puck's illusion designed to make Goliath fall into despair.
On the other hand, what we do know of Xanatos is that when Puck said to him, "You can have one wish from me, or a lifetime of service from Owen," Xanatos chose Owen.
That is not the decision of the kind of guy who is so short-sighted that he would own the world and run it into the ground without noticing or caring. Xanatos's one obsession has been immortality (and I guess owning the world) and when Puck offered it to him, Xanatos knew that in the long run, having a smart, competent, and powerful servant would be worth more than taking the quick and easy route to immortality.
Also probably he knew that Puck, being the Puck, is not one to grant wishes without strings attached, and it would not be the kind of immortality he'd like. But that only makes it better.
Xanatos is not the kind of guy who would let his dreams eclipse the practical things. He's already demonstrated that he doesn't.
He's awesome.
Also I've shipped Xanatos/Puck since I was like, 14.

Goliath Chronicles was done after like, most of the cast of Gargoyles had moved on, so it was entirely new writers, animators, etc. The creators consider it "non-canon." Which is good, because evidently it was laaaame. XD Although I guess there's a new comic book series being released concurrently, that picks up after the last "canon" episode.

Good, I only saw some of the Goliath Chronicles, but it felt like bad fanfic.
And who were you slashing?
