The Episode Review
The finale of Guardians of Justice ends with a decent episode, one that sees Speed meet a horrible demise and everything ending on a rather uneasy and somber note. What if Hawk is wrong? What if there is no world-ending threat? ..
It’s something that provides food for thought as we ponder if Hawk’s actions were completely pointless or not.
The show has been prettypaced and rocketed through so many ideas without actually fleshing much of it out in a way to make these twists feel more momentous. This makes it difficult to invest in the characters, as they feel one-dimensional and one-dimensional only because they’re not given enough time to develop.
As an easy, breezy and cheesy superhero satire, Guardians of Justice ends with a decent enough conclusion, one that’s certainly going to be an acquired taste.
