Creator: Greg Weisman

account.

Provides examples of:

• All There in the Manual: Weisman has an extensive online encyclopedia of the Gargoyles universe: http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/ It's technically owned by a user named Gorebash, Weisman just uses it.
  • And in several interviews, he's hinted at having a rather thick production bible for Young Justice.
• Author Catchphrase: If someone's been reduced to just their head, expect him to be taunted "What are you going to do, bite my kneecaps off?" (Appears in Gargoyles and Spider-Man) Likewise, references to "beating up a beach" are favored when fighting sand villains (Gargoyles, Spider-Man, and WITCH).
• Canon Discontinuity: Weisman has disowned the entire Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles series except for the premiere episode, "The Journey".
  • Weisman has now disowned the televised version of "The Journey" as well, since he retold the story in comicbook form and corrected a few errors.
• Cross Over: He likes to cross Gargoyles with other shows he's worked on. He wrote up a non-canon one with The Spectacular Spider-Man, and also planned one for Team Atlantis before it became a Stillborn Franchise (but he's declared it still canon in Broad Strokes).
• Deadpan Snarker: An entire section of Ask Greg is called Smart-Ass Responses.
• Gambit Index: If he's involved in a work, chances are one of these tropes will show up eventually. Not surprising since he did create Xanatos.
• Grey and Gray Morality: Frequently found in characters on many of his shows.
• Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: He seems to do this with the episode titles of most of his major works:
  • His personal episode titles for Gargoyles were almost always one word long.
  • Every episode of Max Steel's first season started with the letter S.
  • His W.I.T.C.H. episodes were all stylized "___ Is For ____", with blank 1 being a letter of the alphabet and the second blank being a word starting with that letter.
  • The Spectacular Spider-Man titles tended to reference academic concepts, with overall arc titles various "courses" such as Biology 101 to emphasize "The Education of Peter Parker" as a series theme.
• One of Us: Loves his Shakespeare and Whedon.
• Painful Transformation: If you're going to turn into something in a Greg Weisman show, particularly if you're the bad guy, odds are it won't be pleasant.
• Race Lift: He's very big on this, with some extremely pronounced examples in The Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice.
• Shout-Out to Shakespeare: Gargoyles had a ton of these, some of which were not mere Shout Outs but plot-relevant. Spectacular Spider-Man also featured Shakespeare in Season 2's school play subplot.
