The Guardians of Justice

It uses the "80s VHS Sci-fi" angle as an excuse for cheap sets, bad acting and using animation in favour of live action. It's really bad. Andy Milonakis was the only thing good about this.

This isn't the next justice league. This is a weird super hero comedy with an 80s vibe. Lower your expectations and realize right away this isn't DC or Marvel. This is for fun. Sit back, relax and enjoy the weirdness.

If you are expecting an interesting story being told, we'll The Guardians of Justice is not that show, but if you are looking for a fun insane look at superheros, then The Guardians of Justice is what you are looking for.

It has a plot, but you are really looking for the insanity of the plot, combines the grittiness of Watchmen and the 60's campiness of Batman, and somewhat has a little 80's vibe to it. Also knowns being a somewhat parody of Justice League. Never takes itself too seriously. Not a masterpiece, but just a weird ride, I can't help be entertained.

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.

Buuuutttt. It is just a good bit of fun. And I've had enough of all the serious and depressing tat TV being dumped on us continuously, so I'll take this any day.
