I am OBSESSED with Noggin Algernon rn and I WILL ramble about him you can't stop me

I can't believe we actually got to see a gremlin try and be good in episode 3, and even succeed at it for a bit before Boss Chang's goons ultimately messed that up. I think if everyone had been respectful, Algernon would definitely have continued down the path of being good natured.

Like, this is the first time we've seen a gremlin feel bad about hurting someone and it's making me go crazy because it shows that they can be reformed if given the chance. Also, while he was working for Boss Chang, Algernon didn't want to spawn more of his kind and was afraid of getting wet which is insane because we've only seen Gizmo react that way up until this point:

That's like, a gremlins whole thing is attacking everyone and spawning more of their kind, and Algernon was ok with going against his nature for a little bit. I'm so proud of him. 🥺

Granted, Algernon is either a reference, a direct descendant of, or a past reincarnation of Brain (the most civilized and mild mannered one), so out of all the gremlins we've seen, it's safe to assume that he'd be the easiest to turn good. However, he's still prone to violent outbursts, so I was convinced he would kill Boss Chang like his son was speculating just so he could be the new boss of Chinatown. But I was shocked when Boss Chang willingly handed over the role to him. Algernon was emotional when he was dying, and touched that he would give him the role.

It was nice seeing a gremlin show emotion for once. I don't think he had any intentions of being violent or chaotic here, he clearly respected Boss Chang and listened to his advice. It was only when his goons tried to kill Algernon that he went "well screw this, I guess humans are horrible after all" which is understandable. I imagine if you're trying to teach a gremlin how to be good, you have to be very careful with what you say and do, otherwise they'll just revert back to their evil instincts all over again. It's a shame Boss Chang wasn't around him for longer, I think Algernon could have benefited from his good influence.

I'm super curious if later in the series, the main characters will come across a gremlin and discover this. I could definitely see Sam and Elle teaching a gremlin like Algernon how to be good natured and succeeding at it. They might even figure this out sometime in season 2 with Gizmo turning evil and all. What if Gizmo actually does turn into a gremlin for a split second? But because Sam and Elle are such good friends with him, through The Power of Friendship™ they figure out you can teach a gremlin to be good natured if you just give them the chance.

There are so many more characters but we'd be here all day. Fair warning, I give them some of the worst traumas known to man kind.

Guys, I've found a treasure! Had to register on the site but it was worth it!

DAN KRALL: These are concepts I did for Gremlins when they get fed after midnight. There were physical descriptions of them in the script, so I just did a quick rough of what they might look like. The finals ended up changing a lot from these and being really, really great.

DAN KRALL: This is a super-rough concept I did for Claw, who was the evil leader Gremlin of this series. I had an idea where she’s kind of all about asymmetry; one eye is squinty and she was supposed to have a limp and drag her claws. I think a lot of that stuff didn’t actually end up happening, but her general design came through. I really liked the way she came out.

DAN KRALL: These are some poses – somebody else did have the Claw character, we would send these as part of the character design packet.

TARA RUEPING: These are early-on concept art. We first started out with rough drawings like this to get the inspiration of how the characters were written. We really leaned into what was written, we embraced those names, so that’s why Noggin has a huge noggin, Claw has massive claws… I think embracing that’s very true to the Gremlins IP, with the character Stripe in the original film.

DAN KRALL: This is from the pitch deck, but when the god that was involved in the story was still the brother Fuxi, before we switched to Nüwa. This is at the end of the series after everything’s all wrapped up, and Fuxi is escorting all the Gremlins back to the valley, and Grandpa is hitching a ride because he’s always wanted to see the Valley of Jade.

TARA: Gizmo being Gizmo, we wanted to make sure that we were true to his design, how he was in the films. So we looked at a lot of photographs and how he was portrayed in the films with the mouth shape, the pattern of his fur, the shape of his ear. Of course it’s a stylised version of Gizmo, but we wanted to make sure that we were very true to Gizmo’s design.

This has been in my files for months by now-

To be honest- I don't really agree with some of these anymore-

A few of these changes include:

I headcannon Mohawk more as bisexual

George I feel like is also maybe pansexual-

I constantly switch between Daffy being aroace or pansexual

For Lenny I don't really know

I'm mixed on the sexualities of Snout's kiddos

Isn't a hug what you've always wanted? Allow yourself to accept love, sir.
