  • Hawkgirl is super popular because she was in Justice League, Legends of Tomorrow, and Injustice: Gods Among Us, but can you believe that Kenda Saunders/Shiera Saunders/Shayera Hol really isn't that popular?! Here's her history.

    Probably an easier way to sell the character:
    "Who is this Hawkgirl person?"
    "She is a superhero who flies."
    "Like Superman?"
    "But with actual wings."
    "And what other superpowers does she have?"
    "She smashes people's faces with a mace."
    "I'm digging it!"

    The Arrowverse version of the Hawks is WAY simpler than any of these. Simply put Kendra Saunders and Carter Hol are reincarnations of ancient Egyptian royals whose spirits find each other every time their human bodies die. And that's it. SIMPLICITY!!!

    Imo, DC should drop the whole hawkman/hawkgirl pairing and just give us a thanagarian warrior Hawkwoman like the one from the Justice League cartoon. That's the version of the character that everyone knows and loves and that's for a reason. She's awesome and wayless complicated and ridiculous than this whole reincarnation/soul swapping fiasco.

    • @lannasa4220
      @lannasa4220 4 года назад +38

      I also want the Hawkgirl without pairing with Hawkman, because as long as she continues in that pairing she will be greatly overshadowed and will not get the value she deserves. Her origin in the comics is confusing, the character suffers from different versions. They should leave Shayera Hall as Hawkgirl, her story in the Justice League animation was very good, Bruce Timm had a good idea for the character. I would love for DC to wear it at DCU and in more DC comics, Wonder Woman needs a female companion

      @@Elektrikkiss Imagine a WandaVision-esque show for the Hawks where each episode is the two reincarnating through different lives together, ending with them dying each episode. The show ends with Hawkman fighting the Shadow Thief, the spiritual embodiment of his love and obsession for Shayera, breaking their endless cycle of death and reincarnation. He dies so that Shayera can finally live a life of her own.

    I prefer the Thanagarian/JLU Hawkgirl character more because Kendra really annoys me but I prefer the reincarnation/love relationship between Hawkgirl and Hawkman better.

  • @ethansmall581
    @ethansmall581 5 лет назад +5

    I honestly think that the best decision would have been to just both pairs of Hawks coexist, like the Flashes or the Lanterns, because IIRC at some point the made Carter the Hawkman in the original Justice League of America, the original sin was thinking that they needed to do something different from Jay and Allen (and Al, and Wesley).

    TBH DC would be better off if they just settled on a pair of Hawks and stopped sweating the continuity. No one's gonna give a hoot about a bunch of books published 30+ years ago or the confusion surrounding them if they would publish Hawk stories about literally anything other than shuffling them around and trying to fix the continuity.
    The problem is there's so many different interpretations of the Hawks and every writer and editor has their own picks as to which ones are their favorites, so everyone keeps trying to shuffle their history around so they're writing their favorite hawks. No other character has this problem. Hawkman being so niche really adds to the problem. Everyone has a kind of mythologized idea of who Superman or Batman is, you can mess with the specifics but the broad strokes are always gonna be the same, Hawkman not so much.
    Kendra being the Hawk in the Legends of Tomorrow show will probably help stabilize things for a while. DC will probably want that sweet brand synergy. The inevitable Hawkman movie I imagine we'll get if DC ever get's it's film game together will hopefully do the same.

    This is so confusing, but you did a great job explaining it

    I haven't seen the Arrowverse version of Hawkgirl, yet, but I enjoyed the DCAU version of her as a kid.

    And this is why distillation and abridgement are a necessity.
