We'll hopefully get some insight into why Gizmo is so good and how his friendship with Wing helps to form that. While the show is geared more toward children, rather than being a horror series, it will no doubt go into detail on where the Mogwai come from, which should be somewhere in China. Wing, who was an old man in the Gremlins films, when he was a young boy.

Trailers and information released for the series give us a story set very much on Earth in China. It will create its own backstory for the Mogwai, but it will not involve space aliens. The new Max animated series, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, brings Gizmo back to the screen for the first time in thirty-three years. Gremlins fans have clamored for a third film for over three decades, but as of now, though a new film has been announced several times, it has yet to happen. 'Chetz-wubba!' Stripe rasped, swearing in Mogwai. 'There's something that can kill us in large doses, cause us pain in smaller doses. 'You have other information we need,' Stripe continued. 'It's the one responsible emotion Mogturmen was able to keep in us,' Gizmo explained.

"Stripe balled his short pointed fingers into something resembling fists. The Mogwai who will be known later as Gizmo is one of the few not to be affected and keeps his "peaceful spirit." It's a crazy idea, but still a fun one for how off the wall Gipe went and was allowed to go.īut why can't the gremlins kill Gizmo? No worries, Gipe had an explanation for that as well in a scene where the Mogwai language is translated to English. Just a few drops of water, a morsel of food at the wrong time, and-"Īccording to Gipe's bonkers Gremlins backstory, most of these created space alien Mogwai go bad due to some sort of mutation. Gentle as he was, he was a distinct threat to those around him. Yet his existence, he knew, had no long-term benefits for society. True, Mogturmen had failed in the overall, but he himself was one of the successes, the one in a thousand who still embodied all the good things put there by his high-minded inventor. The Mogwai pushed the thought from his mind. Small wonder Mogturmen had been punished by having his. Closing his eyes as he relaxed in his cage awaiting his supper, he mused briefly on the wars, landslides, and famines that had taken place on Kelm-6, Clinpf-A, and even here on Earth because of his creator’s miscalculations and willingness to disseminate an untested creature. He preferred not to think of the complications that had developed, but it was nearly impossible not to. The Mogwai himself knew of the unstable Mogwai, being well versed in the historical background of his species. To be exact, fewer than one in a thousand retained the sweet disposition and charitable aims built into it by the inventor. " Soon after these first departures it was discovered that Mogturmen’s creatures were highly unstable. Gipe then explained why most gremlins are bad: "The galactic powers sent Mogwai to every inhabitable planet in the universe, their purpose being to inspire alien beings with their peaceful spirit and intelligence and to instruct them in the ways of living without violence and possible extinction." There has to be more to it though, as no other Mogwai are good, but the films leave it a mystery. Like how people can be good and bad, maybe so can Mogwai. Wing raised him play any part in Gizmo's personality? None of these questions are answered. Why is Gizmo so good and innocent though? Why does he never turn into a gremlin? Why do the gremlins hate him? Why does he fight against them? Does how Mr. And just like in the original film, Gizmo, with Billy's help, fights against the evil creatures, even taking one down Rambo style. These creatures also torture Gizmo, though in both films they never try to kill him, even though they have no problem murdering humans. Of course, Gizmo gets wet once more, and the new Mogwai again transform into gremlins. Gizmo is nothing but happy to see his old friend again. The lab they take him to just so happens to be in Clamp Tower, the same building Billy works in.

Wing ( Keye Luke), comes to take Gizmo back at the end of the film, Gizmo speaks English, saying, "Bye, Billy."ġ990's Gremlins 2: The New Batch finds Gizmo and Billy reunited when Gizmo is abducted by scientists after Mr. And in the end, when Billy needs him the most, Gizmo risks his life to kill Stripe, the last gremlin standing. He sticks with Billy, just as scared and disgusted by the gremlins as Billy is. These creatures may come from him, but they're not like him. As the Mogwai transform into the ghastly gremlins, they turn on Gizmo, torturing him while he cowers in fear.
