3. Gargoyles
Run: 78 episodes (October 24, 1994 – February 15, 1997)
Idea: Heroic Gargoyles join hands with the NYPD cops to battle extraordinary dangers.
Why It Could Succeed: Waking up from a 1,000-year detainment, the Gargoyles must acclimate to the life in the current period. They’re supposed to save the world from nightmarish animals and the evil David Xanatos who is also a genius having ties with the Illuminate. For a child’s show, the centre story and character twists explored in Gargoyles were rather dark. However, in spite of the goofy set-up, an extra-large screen variant could show how to wed smooth visuals with rich topical components and strong narration. Moreover, Lex Luthor builds up a mech suit. This could make for an exciting battle between Goliath and a tech-overwhelming Xanatos.
4. SilverHawks
Run: 65 episodes (September 8, 1986 – December 5, 1986)
Idea: “Somewhat metal, somewhat true” intergalactic heroes that fight wicked robots in space.
Why It Could Succeed: While certain components of SilverHawks are silly (like the illustration: Lt. Colonel Bluegrass and his weaponized guitar), the movie could be a science fiction blockbuster experience. As it is, the SilverHawks sport smooth shielded armour and invest a considerable measure of their energy fighting in space. A SilverHawks film would highlight the fervour of a Star Wars X-Wing dogfight with the additional advantage of characters that can rocket out of their vehicles and proceed with the fight in zero-gravity with awesome suits, shoulder-mounted lasers, and mechanical hawks. The SilverHawks rebels are fascinating villains that would be enjoyable to see on the extra large screen. We have, for example, Mon*Star (who rides an automated octopus), computerized minotaur Mumbo Jumbo, and multi-bladed brawler Buzz-Saw along with various others.
