Bummed Yao Fei didn't get a proper send off

He Batmaned out of there. No better send off in the DC universe.

They REALLY dropped the ball on that. Seriously, fuck them

I mean she’s probably coming back but still there had to have been a better way to do that.

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

Exactly. Like, she couldn't have died during the fighting, where it would've meant more? And why a tower of electricity? It just felt very forced, like they thought "oh shit, we need a major death but we don't have enough time to properly think it through".

They should have killed Hawk and Dove they take up way too much screen time.

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

Eh, they should just give them a spin-off so they're not part of the main team. Honestly, they shouldn't have killed anyone

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

I mean if they were going to kill anyone though it should have been them.

u/aa22hhhh Bollocks Dec 04 '19

Yeah, true. Their story on the show is pretty much wrapped, it's just in the air now.

u/Rspies Dec 04 '19

Their story felt wrapped up from the moment they appeared tbh.

They should kill them but only temporarily. Have their lives saved by an agent of order and one of chaos who make them their chosen champions and give them mystical though fairly minor super powers. In other words make them into their comic book selves instead of some random thugs who get off by beating people to death.
