'Kay, I'm on a roll today. Bear with me.

This remains gorgeous:



We all know that I love the Hawks. But in pondering their admittedly garish color choices for their battle costumes, I have a theory that will now be put forward to you, the flist, for due consideration, response, and dialectic deliberation.

Yes, I really think about this stuff at 3:00 AM.

Theory: the reason that the Hawks stick to these costumes is that they want people to see them coming. There's a certain deliberate psychological manipulation at work here on their part; I mean, if I were a bad guy -- unless I were ridiculously powered up -- and saw the Hawks coming at me in beserker mode, maces and flails and axes and swords drawn and ready to hit me so hard that I'd wind up in Pluto's orbit by the time they were done, I'd learn my lesson and henceforth run like hell at the sight of a red/yellow/green combo and/or blow the biological ballasts and wet my pants.

Thoughts?
