Gentleman Ghost's appearance was a hoot and, yes, the use of the Nth metal knuckles was positively brilliant! Here's hoping there's a proper Hawkman team-up on the series sometime soon!Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851711774731301585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-89462925903520325742008-11-26T00:21:00.000-05:002008-11-26T00:21:00.000-05:00I don't know, I just REALLY wanted to like this sh...I don't know, I just REALLY wanted to like this show, but I have found something lacking. Something to which I can't seem to put satisfactory voice. Even my wife, who is by no means a comic fan, didn't have the problems I had with it. She found it harmless, if not overly appealing, and somewhat entertaining. While I didn't hate it...there is a lingering "something" that irks me about it. Yes, I do, as I have certainly (over)stated, reject the idea that a series NEEDS to be shallow or light hearted to bring in a wider or younger audience. I strenuously insist that there is no reason all of our superhero fare should not be of the same quality (if not the same mold) as the Timmverse. Still...I found myself...almost bored with this show, and bridling under the broader strokes of its narrative brush (four antique avians lifting a cruiseship?). I wanted more from the action, more from the story, and more from the characters and the actors who voiced them. Perhaps that is the crux of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-36572633250496536822008-11-25T07:54:00.000-05:002008-11-25T07:54:00.000-05:00So far I haven't found the show to be uneven.

As for the shallowness, well, yes, but I think that is part of the point, isn't it?Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-39230491185834400972008-11-25T01:26:00.000-05:002008-11-25T01:26:00.000-05:00Well, I'll give this to you, this show does have q...Well, I'll give this to you, this show does have quite a lot in common with SA comics. However...not all of it is good. In fact, much of it is not so great. Like SA comics the show is very imaginative, visually interesting, and pretty fun if you can turn of your brain for awhile. On the other hand, just like SA comics, it has REALLY uneven writing and is very shallow. That being said, it isn't terrible. I'm really looking forward to the Aquaman episode, and hoping that it will get better as the crew has practice with their format. <BR/><BR/>Here's hoping that we'll see a decent Hawkman guest star at some point in time...at least one that isn't riddled with plot holes and bad writing like The Batman's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
