Episode 8: Hawkeye
Me: *Reading Tales of Suspense #57* in the Canterlot area*
Shining Armor: *Walks up to me* Good morning, Nick.
Me: Hello Shining Armor, how are you?
Shining Armor: I’m doing good. Say, can I ask wewe something?
Me: Sure. What is it?
Shining Armor: The archery contest is coming soon, and the kids want me to dress up as a superhero that uses arrows. Do wewe know one I could use?
Me: Well, the best one I can think of is Hawkeye.
Shining Armor: Hawkeye?
Me: Hawkeye, aka Clint Barton, is a master of archery who joined the Circus as a child. He was mentored kwa Jacques Duquesne, aka The Swordsman.
Shining Armor: He sounds pretty interesting. Please tell me more.
Me: Well, Hawkeye was originally a villain working alongside Black Widow, an agent of the Soviet Union. They fought alongside each other until Black Widow ditched him after a mission. Hawkeye decided to “shoot straight”, if wewe get what I mean?
Shining Armor: *Chuckles a bit* Funny.
Me: Anyways, in Avengers #16*, he joined the new Avengers team, led kwa Captain America. This new team also had Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
Shining Armor: So he’s one of the three new Avengers that such a stir in 1965?
Me: *Nods* He’s also started an Avengers team in Los Angeles, called The West Coast Avengers. Starting in The West Coast Avengers #1*, this team consisted of Hawkeye, Mockingbird, War Machine, Tigra, and Wonder Man.
Shining Armor: So he formed a whole group of Avengers...maybe my guards could dress up as the other members *Chuckles*
Me: That actually sounds pretty cool.
Shining Armor: Has Hawkeye done anything awesome lately?
Me: Well, a couple years back he traveled to Japan to rescue Echo, a superheroine and friend of his.In New Avengers #27* became the sekunde Ronin, with Echo’s blessing.
Shining Armor: Interesting. So he’s had zaidi than one secret identity, right?
Me: Yup. Though he did go back to being Hawkeye and got his own series. In Hawkeye #1*, he got a new suit to make him zaidi modern.
Shining Armor: I’ll admit it, Hawkeye’s new suit looks better.
Me: I agree.
Shining Armor: Nick, now I have an idea for what to do! Thank wewe so much.
Me: Welcome.

so as we all know, because FiM ended its run last October, Hasbro decided to pull the plug on Equestria Girls too.... without even bothering to giving it a proper close. 'cause Holidays Unwrapped sure as hell ain't no finale (not even close).
but the swali is: did EqG really deserve to be cancelled like that? my answer: no. say what wewe want about how Hasbro treated this spin-off franchise during its lifetime, but to me personally, i think EqG had a shot at having a real conclusion (and to an extent, even a great one). there still were a lotta haijajibiwa maswali and stories to be told here. EqG might've just been a spin-off, but i say it still had potential. i mean, it was definitely better than the shit we got now (lookin' at you, gppony, pony Life!).
but at the end of the day, Hasbro is the big boss. if they want something to end, there's nothing that can stop them. so, as much as it sucked to see get cancelled so abruptly, it was the final decision.
