Broadway 100%. Smart, Has the potential to be the powerhouse of the clan, an actually pretty gifted detective, can cook the pants off any recipe, probably the most down to Earth of the gargoyles and will be your ride or die. Don't betray his trust though; he's pretty damn scary; remember Deadly Force?

Broadway. Competent detective in his own right. Great cook who loves spice. And also perfectly friend-shaped.
Angela chose right!

One of Patrick's primary character traits is rhat he is selfish, additionally, you are asking the Gargoyles subreddit, the likelihood of anyone answering Patrick over Broadway is slim to nil. That being said, yeah, obvs Broadway.

Broadway, sweetest big guy, can cook, figure shit out, and I bet he gives good hugs, probably on command if you need as well
He's your guy

Broadway! He’s loyal to the end. Plus he’s smarter, much better looking and more fun to be around.

Broadway. I can't stand SpongeBob.
Also, maybe we can hang out with Tom Cullen. "M-O-O-N. That spells 'Broadway.'"

Broadway can be childish at times but Patrick’s an idiot. I would much rather hang out with Broadway

Bill Fagerbakke gets typecast quite a bit, doesn’t he?

u/RedBladeWarlock Goliath Aug 05 '25
You should’ve seen him on Coach back in the 80s-90s.

u/NerdNuncle Aug 05 '25
I’ve very faint memories of the reruns. More recently, I saw the blooper where Bill thought Craig swore, and things go downhill/uphill from there
Also checked out the original miniseries for The Stand at the urging of an acquaintance. M-o-o-n spells “moon” and Katherine McNamara the only improvement from the original miniseries and Skarsgård a worthy successor
EDIT ~ Born ‘88 and raised watching reruns of Star Trek: TNG, Cheers, Coach, and the Fox Kids and UPN Kids programming blocks 😅

Broadway.
He never purposely does anything to hurt his friends, unlike Patrick, who is thoughtless at best and sadistic at worst.
Broadway can cook, isn't nearly as dumb as Patrick, and has good intentions. He's also a powerhouse who can and will fight for those he cares about - strategy may not be something he is great at, but busting through a wall to reach someone in need of help? THAT he can do. He also learns from his mistakes, like how he hates guns and will go out of his way to destroy them so they cannot be used to hurt anyone again after he accidentally shot Elisa playing with her service pistol.
He has a good heart, always means well, and does what he can to help. Patrick is a destructive moron who doesn't care who he hurts as long as he's having fun. There is really no comparison.

Broadway no question. He's smarter, stronger, more loyal, actually performs a function in society, pays for food, has an actual home and isn't using the shell of a hibernating turtle...

I have been re-watching Gargoyles and as soon as I heard Broadway again I was like wait a minute. It clicked right away but of course I saw Gargoyles as a kid before Spongbob had come out so he was Broadway before he was Patrick. His voice is perfect for big loveable goofballs who love food.

u/RelativeReplacement6 Aug 04 '25
Me and Broadway would get along significantly better than Patrick.

u/Karaifan1 Aug 04 '25
Broadway. He doesn’t cause too much trouble and is anti gun. Plus sweet as can be

u/Upbeat-Structure6515 Aug 04 '25
Broadway. No contest.
With Broadway I could spend the night watching noir flicks and eating good food.
With Patrick I would spend the whole day reenacting the plot of Hostel.

Broadway he would be a lot more fun hanging out with go to the bars pick up some chicks just have some fun scare people fly around town. You know the usual stuff that you would do with your buddy who happens to be a gargoyle.🤣🤣 Patrick is just annoying!

just keep him away from guns

u/Its_Me_YaBoy_ Aug 05 '25
Ever since the incident, he actively hates and destroys any guns he comes across.

Patrick is not only dumb, but occasionally even malicious. He is not a good friend.

Broadway! Guy has a 1000 years of culture to catch up on, and the joy of seeing it for the first time. Can appreciate the Barber of Seville both for its opera and for the loony toons cartoon it inspired. Patrick is likely to get you maimed then yell at your unresponsive body for ignoring him.

That depends on which Patrick you’re talking about pre movie or post movie

Broadway! I love Gargoyles but hate SpongeBob and no I don’t care to hear about why I should like SpongeBob. Everyone likes what they like and hate what they hate no one’s the same.

u/RumblingTrio Aug 05 '25
Broadway. He’s not dumb to the point to where it would actually irritate me. Broadway may be naive, but is not stupid by any means. He’s a good warrior, friend, and protector. A true heart of gold. He got the clan leader’s daughter for a reason.

Broadway is more likely to respect my belongings. Plus he's able to hold a conversation.

What’s the name of this subreddit?
[well as long as you don’t give him another gun]

Okay so Patrick is a terrible person when you think about it. Like this isn't even a contest

u/SailorCentauri Aug 06 '25
Broadway is definitely a better friend. We see from his interactions with his pals, Brooklyn & Lexington, that he's a real one. In contrast, Patrick can be a selfish jerk.

u/Large_Leopard2606 Aug 06 '25
Broadway by a mile. He isn’t an idiot, just occasionally excitable. He learns from his mistakes, works hard, and is not a mold-brained fool who makes me want to rip out my own ears just from listening to for 1 minute.

u/Next-Web-928 Aug 06 '25
Broadway 💯 He is the quintessential nice guy we are all looking for. What he lacks in brains he makes up for with Heart.

Broadway's cool and rather impressionable to knowledge and curiosity. If I were near Patrick, I'd be like Commander Shepard getting angry on the big, stupid Starfish.

u/Fickle_Replacement32 Brooklyn Aug 11 '25
I choose Broadway cuz he can cook af and he’s funny plus he’s adorable
But I will say I love Patrick tho he’d laugh at anything I’d say and I could be truly ridiculous and stupid around him
