Interesting mess
2 March 2022
This series (season 1, 7 episodes) is a cluttered parody of superhero stories that fails as much as it succeeds. The failures include a very bad choice for the lead Hawk, who is uninteresting and silly while attempting to be the smart "Batman" leader, and the lack of humor that might've made a script like this work. The odd mishmash of graphics are part nostalgia, part video game and part animated superhero stuff which, again, lacked humor and ends up being an irrelevant hodgepodge of junk. The successes include intriguing social-political commentaries (despite including the tired theme of secretly-gay men hiding their love) and some brilliant editing work. Not much to redeem this one, but it's still a data point in the world of superhero stories so from that perspective, maybe it should be assimilated... while you wash the dishes or something.
