Ed Asner - 1929 to 2021

A tribute to the legendary Edward Asner. An amazing actor, an amazing man. His philanthropy work alone makes him worthy of our respect and admiration. May he rest in peace.
But I will always remember him most fondly as Hudson from "Gargoyles"

[@legendarycryptid2629]

Hudson was always one of my favorites. The elder gargoyle proved wise, as well as capable in battle. Rest on peace, Mr. Asner.

Hudson reminds me of my Maternal Grandfather. Tougher than hammered iron, old but feisty, sharp as a razor. Bless his voice actor. Ed Asner, a tough fellow, whom lived 91 years.

His voice acting was on par with Keith David RIP Ed Asner

[@gordhanx]

It's a damn shame that he's no longer with us. If nothing else, I'm at least glad he died peacefully and lived a long, fulfilling life. May he Rest in Peace.

“I’ve been alive for over 1100 years… most of my clan is dead and dust… and I am a stranger in a strange land… Demona and Macbeth are immortal… has it brought THEM happiness?” LOVE the writing of this show and appreciate it a lot more as an adult.

[@filipmilevski8172]

Goodbye Hudson you lived a good life😢

[@PikminandOatchi]

Rest easy old lion.

[@fantasy-writer-v5z]

At least he lived a long good life

[@LacertaZilla2024]

Goodbye Hudson you were my favorite gargoyle you were like a grandpa to me I mean I still have one it’s just you remind me so much of him since he lives in Ireland I would love hearing stories from you. Even at a old age you mange to out wit any Opponent you faced

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

Oh I hadn't heard that until I saw this video. Asner brought so much to the part (I always loved Greg's story that he honestly didn't expect to get him, only for Asner to agree and then absolutely kill it as Hudson), you could see the benefits of his experience in how he fought. He was past his physical peak and he knew it, so he used a sword. I still think Asner's performance as he stalls Demona is one of the best in the show. Hudson knows he cannot defeat Demona alone, but he also knows that A- If he doesn't distract her Goliath is going to die and B- He doesn't NEED to defeat her, he just needs to keep her occupied until dawn. Asner conveys a lovely mix of fear, courage, wisdom and a bit of pride as they awake again and he knows he has succeeded. Plus Asner's depiction of moments like his growingly warm friendship with Robbins, his shame at his hidden illiteracy (and several episodes later, his stumbling but successful efforts to read), all these moments were enhanced by Asner's performance. Rest In Peace Mr Asner. You will be missed.

[@eamonndeane587]

Hudson and Granny Goodness were my favourite roles of his. RIP Edward Asner. You will be sorely missed by many.

[@rubeusjune9426]

Ed Asner is now that think about it is a huge part of my childhood he was mr Fredikson, and he was Santa, and he was uncle Ben in spectacular Spider-Man, but to me Hudson was his most important role for me. Gargoyles has been a big influence on who I am as a person, and Hudson will always be my favorite and so it breaks my heart to this very moment knowing that he’s gone, and that we will never get to see a great performance from him again. Hudson was the best of the gargoyles he was wise, cunning, and lazy (in a good way) and overall Hudson was the clans moral center, Hudson was what made the show so good for me, and that can all be attributed to Mr Asner, you were the best of us god bless your soul R.I.P

[@stonefree7973]

Lovely tribute to one of the show's best characters. Rest in peace Mr. Asner.

[@DarkDranzer88]

As we say here, he had a good innings. Rest well Mr. Asner, you've earned it...

[@chesterlane3032]

He will be greatly missed by all of us fans who remember him for anything he did for TV shows and Movies too and RIP Ed Asner

[@jackoconnor5590]

I’ll remember him too. Especially for how outstanding he was.

[@zemox2534]

RIP Ed. You lived a great life. You earned a nice long rest

[@azariahspence8551]

That tribute was beautiful!

[@slanetroyard92]

As someone who was born in the early 90s I had the privilege of watching gargoyles during it's run. It was thanks to Hudson that I learned growing old is a gift that many take for granted. With age and experience comes wisdom. Knowledge that we can pass down to future generations so that they won't make the mistakes we have.

[@martinithechobit]

Ty for the high quality.

[@thegrimmretails3777]

Hudson and Uncle Iroh are in another world sharing rare tea and enjoying each other's company.

[@hereticsaint100]

This is beautiful. Well done. We all benefited so much from his work. Ed Asner will be missed greatly.

[@oriana7193]

Holy moly I didn't think he was still alive. Then hearing that he died. Man definitely makes you think. But this guy was part of my childhood. I'll always have the memories Of his great works and skills as an actor and voice actor to always look back and remember the life and lessons he left. Rest in peace man 🙏💙.

Thanks for creating this channel all these years ago. After just recently experiencing a personal death in my own family, the legacy line has a greater impact on me. I’ll never forget it. RIP Mr. Asner.

[@lennyernquist1246]

R.I.P. to the great Ed Asner. I would have to say "The Price" s one of my favorite Hudson episode. My mom is a fan of The Mary Tyler Show, so Lou Grant is one of her favorite characters on that show.

This voice would be missed #KeepBingingGargoyles

[@luminozero]

I always loved the fight between Hudson and Demona, because it shows that while Demona is just as old as Hudson, and HAS gone through the process of aging (before she met Macbeth), she never accepted it. She never learned from it. She's always been the same reckless, short sighted, vindictive monster she was back in 990 AD.

This is why (among other reasons) is why they should never reboot Gargoyles. You can’t replace top notch acting like that.

[@cwash7708]

Agreed.

[@kremzeek100]

Since Ed Asner (Hudson's voice from Gargoyles) has passed away, I was wondering if that Gargoyles animated series would get rebooted/remade or revived for his honor?

[@kylemaccauley6065]

I love the Hudson part where he proves he is useful

[@oriana7193]

Another is his work on the movie up. Now he's up in heaven. Including his other works on other classic TV shows. Take the time and Google his history of his work you would be surprised at what he has done.

He was the J.Jonah Jameson I grew up with. 😔

[@chrisclack4258]

that one galiathgoliath chronicles episode of where hudson goes blind should be A part of the comic books

[@GregXB3]

No it shouldn't. Goliath Chronicles isn't canon and it never should be. But we did have Robbins reveal that he figured out Hudson was a gargoyle long ago in #5 of the SLG run.

[@nathanblevins9870]

Wait!! He was In gargoyles!?!?!? I never knew that!!!

[@RenMarquez_]

Now he’s in heaven with Fedsmoker

[@grammarcrusader1065]

To the one person who disliked the video. If you are reading this. Please remove it. That's simply all I ask, this is to remember someone who passed away. I don't care if you didn't like the video, but do what we all do. Keep it to yourself or vent it to someone who isn't connected to this. Ed Asner, may the many happy memories you gave us lift you to heaven. Rest in peace.

[@bigtimeboldyman]

Rest in peace, Mr. Asner. A little unrelated but some of your videos have the comments disabled on them. If it's not too much trouble, could you re-enable them for interesting discussion?

[@chrismaccool9097]

What Hudson said to Xanatos gave me ideas for a Titanic Story that I am writing about which is about these two ten year old cousins who sailed on the Titanic and Survived the nightmare of the shipwreck with their own courage and witts and their broken friendship but with great cost obviously meaning their families from their parents and older siblings did not survive and the sinking of the Titanic brings the two cousins relationship more closer and helps them reconcile. What was Xanatos planning to do to Hudson?

[@luffyturner3759]

You're now in a better place with tomiii 11.

[@marissasmoment3711]

Oh damn Hudson is gone for real? Oh how dreadful😔

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Ed asner is dead? When?

[@cesarmorales9138]

Got that right 2:22

[@kazemizu]

Actually, Demona should technically be older than Hudson. She was awake all those centuries while Hudson slept...

[@GregXB3]

Semantics... and despite everything, Demona managed to not learn how to be patient, to wait, etc. And how much did Hudson know about Demona's life when he said that?

[@kazemizu]

@@GregXB3 yeah, she had such a long life yet didn't learn how to wait.

[@kylemaccauley6065]

0:43 open this cage and I’ll show you how USELESS I AM

[@kazemizu]

I never understood why he wanted to dip Hudson into that vat. Couldn't he have just used a rat??
