YMMV / SilverHawks

• Awesome Music: The theme song — especially the guitar solo by Bluegrass.
• Cult Classic: The series is best remembered for being "That show that wasn't ThunderCats."
• Fridge Brilliance: Why do the SilverHawks fight only the Mob? In "No More Mr. Nice Guy" Mon*Star hears that the Space Bandit, Rhino and Cyclops are forming their own Mob and heads down to Fence to let them know there's only one Mob in Limbo: his. Mon*Star most likely did the same to every other criminal in Limbo.
• Fridge Horror: When you stop and think about it, the Silverhawks gave up a good chunk of their physical humanity in order to become the heroes that they are. Being a kids 80s show this could be seen as Angst? What Angst? at play, thus the obvious Body Horror is not really touched on.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series was (and some people might argue it still is) HUGE in Latin America, specially México. It isn't rare seeing whole conventions stop for a couple of seconds if the theme starts playing only to sing along to it.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The Silverhawks try to add human racial diversity in later members, but in truth the Mob is probably your better model for diversity albeit in a fantastical way. But either way through a modern lens the mob looks a lot more accepting to members than the Silverhawks are.
• Ho Yay: Between Commander Stargazer and Condor. There's something rather... affectionate about the way Condor calls Stargazer "Gaze" after all.
• Nightmare Fuel: "The Illusionist" a hypnotized Hotwing restrains the SilverHawks, puts them in a giant water tank and leaves them to drown.
• Tear Jerker: Yes-Man shedding tears in "Uncle Rattler", when Mon*Star lets the SilverHawks take Rattler into custody.
